GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in It and No Danger
 of Being Drowned.

The water of the Great Salt lake, Utah, is clear and transparent, with bottom of fine white sand and mar gin of ine7asted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world. It's waters give sus, tenanee to no living thing; there is not the smallest insect or worm tc frighten the most timid hather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea 1athlng in the whole of North Ameri. "a or in Europe No human body can sjnk in 1t. One may actually walk the water. nc matter how deep it is. Your body will persis.tently rise up, the shoulders above the surface, or you may even sit down .n it. It's wonder 5ul buoyancy must be experienced tG he rtalized. No knowledge of swim lniGg is necessary; one may enter the .ake without the slightest fear; all float But to swim In it. that is an- other thing! When your hands are put under the water to take a stroke. gour feet, like Banquos ghost. will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at Sime. You cannot swim. but if you are man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed under your head, and smoke your pipe or cigar with as much ease as if in your own room. The water is so salt Lat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulation; small drop in the eye, too, gives much pain
 But, in spite of all the dangers, bath ing in the Great Salt lake is refreshing and invigorating, notwithstanding that the body must be rebathed in fresh water afterWard to remove ~the i'm. mense quantity of salt which adheres to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, even against the smallest waves. Nearly half a million people bathe in the Great Salt lake every year; they come from all over the world. and tourists are beginning to realize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty. and is des. tined to be a leading watering place.

He presented it tt Dr. R. H. Mcdonald. who at that time conducted a drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento a meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge of Masons. That was on Jan. 8, 1850, and the lodge was to be known as C0hlA0Sl1CdI 1Od5Ct 4sC' ios AS NAAe~A11o1 that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon, aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masons was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name os Connect sut lodge was changed to Fe- hama lodge, No. 3, but ever since it's establishment on Jan. 8, 1850, the Bi. ble has remained in the possession oi the lodge R. o.

But occasionally there is variation of this incident. Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, was tired man, who, in crowded car had fept his seat seemingly because hs thought it was right that he should if he had thought it out at all-but who now when he was about to leave. wanted to have the right person get the seat he was leaving. With this idea in his mind and not with any con- seit of gallantry, he, when he had risen, touched the sleeve of young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op posite to him, to indicate to her that here was seat.

Evil Spirits Are Supposed to Dominate
 an Interior African Country.
 What an unmodern sound is that of "a devil possessed land!" Still, Capt. Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa. declares that he found one there, It is called Walamo, and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt. Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de- mons. lie found it most winsone country, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceived by Capt, Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed into camp raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and dan- gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbey's es. cort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate. H. himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements, partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob served him aK the while, he declares with great fxity Afterward, to his own astonishment, he began to feel exceedingly ill He does not admit, however, that he went mad, and as numerous explorations were subse- nuently made by him, he probably did not. A sensible solution ol the whole strange problem is doubtless to be round in some malarial or other pois~ onous condition of the Land.

X Kew DiaEnossio sisn of Measles.

Under the above heading Dr. Henry Kop1ik of New York described recent ly in the Medical Record a phenomenon which he considers a very valuable sign in the very early stages of meas les. 1t consists of an eruption which appears on the mucous membrane lin ing the cheeks and lips. It can be seen only in very strong daylight fall ing from a window direct on the muc- ous membrane. It is then necessary to avert the mucous membrane covering the lips and cheeks, either with the fin gers or by means of a spatula. One gan then see by close study the infnit' esimally minute bluish- white speeks on reddish punctate area in begin ming measles, and on more difusely reddened background in advanced cases, which arc absolutely character sstic of measles.

suicire ANp CIVILIZATION.
The More Progress the More Taers Is
 of Self Destruction.

Felix Adler, the New York ethical clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides gre ep the increase in the present cen tury. They have tripled in number in the last one hundred years. It is the disease of civilization, increasing ip numbers with the progress of civlliza- ton. Germany, where civilization has reached the highest point on earth, ia the blackest spot in this respect. It Is the same story as you proceed from the less to the more liberal creed Where the population of a community is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil- lion; where the people are purely of Ire Catholic faith there are 58 to the million: In Protestant communities there are 190 to the million. External conditions appear to have much to dc with the act. There are more suicides ,n wet weather than in dry, more by night than by day, more on moonlight nights than on dark nightss and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women can-  not sit in judgment on those who have done this deed; cannot enter into their inner life. But warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they have no right to do it. The duty of progress compels Us to remain-we must stay. We are here to solve the problems of life, not to eyads them. We are here to fulfill our task. not to leave it unfinished. We must make the soul victorious over the senses, aud we do that not by evading pain but by conquering it
