Great Salt lake is receding on ac-
count of the excessive drain made
upon it by irrigation enterprises. This
lake is not fed by underground
springs, but by the Jordan and other
rivers, and when the waters of these
streams are intercepted by irrigation
purposes the water supply of the Sal
lake is, of course, diminished so thai
the evaporation which is constantly
going on is not made up by new
supply. In time it looks as if the lak'
will be only bed of dry salt.

LONDON IN 1854.
There Were Many Highwaymen and
FOOtpads on the Road Brass
Knockers stolen.

In 1884 M. La Combe published book,
-efit1tled "a Picture of London" in
which inter ALA he says: 1.-The high
roads 80 or 40 miles round London are
filled with armed highwaymen and
footpads." This was then pretty true,
though the expression filled is some
what of an eXaggeration. The medical
student of 40 or so years ago seems to
have been anticipated in 1884, for NJ.
La Combe tells us that the brass
knockers of doors, which cost from
IL to IS shillings, are stolen at night
if the maid forgets to unscrew them
"a precaution which seems to have
gone out of fashion. "The arrival of
the mails our author says, lis I'M
certain at all times of the year. Per-
-sns who frequently receive letters
should recommend their correspond
ents not to insert loose papers, nor to
put the letters in covers, because the
tax is sometimes treble, and always
arbitrary, though in free country.
But rapacity and injustice are the del
ties of the English
NJ. La Combe does not give us nat
tering character! can Englishman,"
he says, considers a foreigner as an
enemy, whom he dares not offend open
ly, but whose society he fears: and he
attaches himself to no one" Perhaps
it was so in 1884, but such feelings have
nearly died out-at least among edu-
Gated people. M. La Combe, in another
part of his book, eXclaims: How are
you changed. Londoners! Your women
are become bold, imperious and expen-
sive. BanlSrupts and beggars, coiners,
spies and informers, robbers and pick
pockets abound; the baker mixes alum
in his bread: the brewer puts opium
and copper filings in his beer; the milk
woman spoils her milk with snails. =

fumes of any kind, consists of an air
tight rubber bag containing a steel
bottle of pure oxygen at a pressure of

be admitted by a hand screw into the

hand screw breaks the glass bottle,
allowing the caustic soda to flow out
and be absorbed by a knittsd network

To teach a big black vulture as many
tricks as a poodle has been the diver
sion of an English collector of uncanny
pets. This monster bird, which has a
fine sense of humor, will execute at
the word of command an uncouth
dance, using its huge wings to sup
plement the motions of its feet-now
trailing them on the ground. now COW
ering its head with them, and anon
tapping them lugubriously. But the
vulture's most engaging accomplish
ment is to beg for food. When he de-
sires a choice shinbone he scorns to
perform the undignified antics of a
poodle, but prostrates himself with
true oriental humility, dropping in
every quiz and resting the top of his
bald head on the ground. This self
abasement is so complete that it has
il nobility all its own. The birds mas
ter is greatly attached to it, among
other reasons because the great lon
gevity of its species suggests the
thought that it may have taken part
in the great migration inspired by the
mortality among Russian Norses at
Sebastopol. Moreover, it is a relative
of the condor of the Andes. largest Of
all birds.-N. Y. World.

BrandOn's Fish Hatchery,

The following account is given by the
Brandon Union of a visit to Dunmore fish
hatchery to see the spawning beds The
boat was provided with a light in the
PROV, shaded by a large reflector which
threw rays of light on the water directly
ahead of the boat. The boat skirted the
shore. in from two to three feet of water,
and before long the first trout were seen.
They were not by dozens or by hundreds,
but thousands. In such masses were
they that they looked like huge rocks in
the water, and it seemed inipos sible to
push the boat through them without
crushing them TO death. Some Idea of
the numbers of them may be gather
ed from the fact that one draw with the
net brought out los swallow tailed
beauties which range in size from to 10
pounds each. This shore seemed to be
one mass of trout, and other localities
visited showed that they we're not part-
cularly partial to this shore. Each
favorable locality visited was the same,
and all became thoroughly convinced
that this was indeed the home of the
lake trout. The trout are handled by
the commissioners very tenderly and not
one out of 800 Is injured in the slightest,
even by accident. After being stripped
of their spawn they are returned to the
lake.
