MARY's SENSATION.
The Roberts Woman Scents a Very
Dark Mystery.

Mary Roberts, Familiarity known as
'Chin du Wan," made what she con-
sidered to be a flash find yesterday
She reported at the police station with
an old and soiled red cotton basque and
a frayed, rusty, black skirt. which she
said her husband, Jimmy Heppy, had
found on the banks of China Slough.
Mary is inclined to think that some
unfortunate woman deposited the gar
ments on the bank and then made her
debut into eternity by the dark and
Shiny route Of the slough. The police
disagree with Mary, and are inclined
to believe that the garments were left
there by a woman who had secured a
change. No rigid examination was
made to determine whether or not the
clothing was inhabited, but that it is
given q wide berth looks SUSPICIOUS

Engiand's supremacy at Sea.



The report that England is preparing to
send force of men to the Pacific by way
of the Canadian Pacific road is denied in
such a way as to leave it still possibly
true. AT any rate, It calls attention to
Englsnd's admirable equipment Tor
emergencies. She subsidies the Canadian
Pacific railroad for just this purpose and
also the Empress line of steamers between
Vancouver and Japan and China, which,
according TO the report just mentioned,
are to be used TO convey the men to the
scene of action in the Far East, The
promptness with which one fleet appeared
at Port Hamilton and another at Chemulpo,
as soon as the situation became critical. is
another illustration of the same thing
while the unconirmed report that she is
about mobilizing her naval reserves calls
attention to her great strength in that par
ticular, nearly 100000 men and boys being
available at short notice to man a navy
which can be promptly made to number
33S fighting ships, besides about $50 tor
pedo boats. 1t is this constant readiness
for both aggressive and defensive action
that makes Great Britain so formidable on
the sea, and secures her in her command
ing but perilous position among the ma
tiOns.

Great salt Lake becoming Fresh

The Great Salt Lake of Utah, the Cali
lee of the vanishing Mormon, is 20 miles
long and so miles wide in its widest part,
with present maximum depth of 40 feet,
though much of its area does not exceed
from II to 90 Fifty years ago, when the
Mormon first Jared thither, 1t was much
deeper, exceeding 100 feet in places, and
its average being much greater than pres
ent measurements show. Just now ii is
two feet lower than has ever before been
known, and the local savant conjectures
that it is gradually turning into a body of
fresh water. The theory is supported by
an examination of the waters of number
less springs which used to pour brine into
the lake, the outflow of many of them be-
ing now quite fresh, as if they had ex-
hausted the underground deposits OF salt
of which they were formerly the solvent
and carrying vehicle. Still, of the lake in
general, it may be safely asserted that its
salt will long outlast that Of the doctrines
which its pioneer apostle promulgated
along its shores, and though it occasionally
shows, as at present, a particularly low
water mark it is not going to dry up alto
gether for a long time to come.

a person who recently attempted an art
exhibition has drawn up set OF rules to
enable the novice to know what kind of
picture he is looking at. He says that if
painter paints the sky gray and the grass
brown he belongs to the old school,
If he paints the sky blue and the grass
green be belongs TO the realistic school.
If he paints the sky green and the grass
blue he belongs 10 the impressionistic
school.
If he paints the sky yellow and the grass
purple he is a colorst.
If he paints the sky black and the
grass red he is an artist of great decora-
tive talent and may make posters if he
erseveres.-ChicGqO Ne1rs.
