region of the globe Antelope Island is

the bathing and boating and other aquatic
sports and diversions in the most inter

purposes on all the continent-f not In

1t may seem prepostercus to talk of the
finest sea bathing on earth a thousand
miles from the ocean; but truth is no less
truth because it appears absurd. The sea
bathing in Great Salt lake infinitely sur
passes anything of The kind on either the
Atlantic or Pacific coasts. The water
contains many times more salt and much
more soda, sulphur magnesia, chlorine
bromide and potassium than any ocean
water on the globe. 1t is powerful in med
icinal virtues curing or benehtting rheu-
matte gout, dyspepsia, nervous disorders
and cutaneous diseases; and il acts like
magic on the hair of those unfortunates
whose tendeucencies are to bald-headed-
ness. 1t is a prompt and pleasant tonic
the invigorant of body and mind. and then
there is no end of fun in getting acquaiu-
ted with the pecularities. A first bath in
il is always as good as a circus, the bath
er being his or her own trick mule The
specific gravity is but a trihe less than
that of the Holy Land Dead sea, the ac-
tual figures with distilled water as unity
being, for the ocean 1927, for Salt lake
1107 and for the Dead sea Ills.
There is not a fish or any living thing
in all the 250O or 5000 square miles of beau
tiful waters, except the yearly increasing
swarms of summer bathers. Not a shark
or a stingaree to scare the tmid swimmer
or floater. not crab or crawfish to nip

nothing that lives, moves crawls or wrig-

Rev c. w. Wilder in Zion's Herald
There is a widespread misrepresentation
as to the time when the nineteenth century
will close and the twentieth century begin
The author of the beautiful poem on the
first page of lions Herald for Jan 4, has
fallen into this very common error /
dislike to critlcise, or even seem to do so, a
poem of such beauty and merit as the one
to which reference is made. To the poem
itself l take no exception, save this only
that it was printed one year too soon.
The nineteenth century will not close till
Dec. 81, 1900, and, consequently. the
twentiet h century will not begin till Jan
/, 1901. \ moments reflection will convince
any one of this. A century is 100 consecu-
tive years. "A century begins with the be-
ginning of the first day in its first year.
and does not end till the close Of the last
day in it's hundredth year" STANDARD die
tionary).
The first century did not close till the
last day of A. D. 100; for not till then had
q fun hundred years been completed The
second century began with the first day
of 101 and closed with the last day of 200
In like manner the nineteenth century be-
gan Jan. /, 1901, and will not close ill Dec.

arisen from this difference in reckoning
the years of a century and the age Of a

RECORDER GoFF AT A BULLFIGHr.
Prefers 1t to a Prize Fight, But
Thinks states Can BE Saved With

From the Mexican Herald, Jan. 10.
Recorder John w. Goff of New York
city, the distinguished jurist who is at
present in Mexico city. was one of the
spectators at the bull fight at the Bucareli
ring last Sunday, and witnessed the debut
of Parrao and Guerrorito.
Il must confess" he said, that l do
not have the same prejudices against bull
fighting that are felt by some of my
counrymen. l did not feel the disgust
that some people claim to feel at the spec
tacle, nor was 1 greatly pleased. The
sight was not a new one to me. do not
consider it to be nearly so brutal as some
of the so-called sports which take place
in the United States. and which are at
tended by great crowds in all of our large
cities. To me the spectacle of a matador
killing a brute animal is not nearly so dis
gusting or revolving to the sight as one of
our prize fights, where two human beings
pound one another into a jelly and maui
one another into insensibinty. l have seen
prize fights and l have seen bull fights.
and in my opinion the former are for the
more degrading of the two"
Judge GoT was asked what he thought
of bull fighting as a means of municipal
reform 1t was explained to him that one
of the strongest arguments offered for the
support of bull fighting is that it satifies
the craving for excitement of the populace
and keeps them Out of greater mischief.
He said that that was a question on
which he could not express proper opin-
ion. No one would be capable of speaking
with any degree of correctness upon that
subject unless he had lived here for some
time and had made careful study of the
characteristics and peculiarities of the
people and understood their character thor
oughly. But" said he, my best judg-
ment would be that some less bloody sport
could be secured which would accomplish
the same end

Struck by lightning 200 Times.

A very singular record is attached to
a deserted and ruined house at Dart
moor, England. 1t was built by
wealthy landowner, with the intention
OF making 1t his country residence; but
before the building operations were
completed a heavy thunderstorm broke
over Dartmoor, and the house was
struck by lightning, the roof being dis
mantled. The damage was repaired
and the house quickly finished. No
sooner did the owner take up his resi-
dence in it than another violent storm
struck the house and destroyed the
chimney-stack, doing, besides, consid-
cradle damage. This made the owner
nervous, and he left the house 1t was
soon shown that his fears were not
groundless, for in nearly every thunder
storm that passed over the district the
house has been struck, and fresh
portion Of it destroyed. Altogether IL
has been struck over 200 times.
