'There Is no possibility iof securing

complying with the terms of the srea-

ton dam in Texas. every other section

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT.
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.

It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light rays, are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Pearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light is thrown onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks in a bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensae tions and, in most cases. an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs, and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after a course of electric-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The apparatus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad- unstable stand are fitted two large cop. per CT nickel-plated ref1ectors, which can be moved in any direction. IF a patient is lying in bed reflectors are placed on either side, adjusted to ths exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the reflecting sur- faces are the electric lamps which ra- diate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the dis tance of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means of a special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body. such as the armpits or shoulders, which it you'd be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled (he may be fully clothed, CT covered with blankets, without affecting the power of the rays1 the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In few moments the thermometer will register 800. degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen patients chatting cheerfully and ex- perieneing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays It temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such heat as this would roast limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re- sHIts were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which evaporates perspiration as soon as ft appears on the body.

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 incrpsted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world It's waters give sus, tenance to no living thing; there is not the smallest insect or worm tc frighten the most timid bather. and the bathing is the most perfect sea 9athfng in the whole of North Ameri- ca or in Europe No human body can sink in it. One may actually walk the water. nc matter how deep it is. Your body will persisltently rise up. the shoulders above the surface, or you nay even sit down in it. It's wonder Eul buoyancy must be experienced to he r1alized. No knowledge of swim miGg is necessary; one may enter the lake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim In it, that is an~ other thingl When your hands are put under the water to take a stroke, gour feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not so down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at a time. You cannot swim, but if you are man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed under yolr head, and smoke your pipe or cigar with as much ease as if ih yoQr own room. The water is so' salt tat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulation; a 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 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 aiagnifcent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty. and is des
 tined to be leading watering place.

THE OATES OF GIBRALTAR.
Interesting Ceremony of Locking Them
 at Shutdown


 at Shutdown,
 Quite the favorite sight at Gibraltar Is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like 8 prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town In the center of military guard. preceded by a regi- mental band, which plays inspiring fa- mfliar tunes. The keys, of enormous stze, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigilance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure On arriving at the gates, the guards salute, the martial strains strike up with redou- bled peal of triumph, while the great doors slowly swing to, and are solemn ly locked for the night Then right about turn, and the procession marches back to the convent to deposit the keys In the governors keeping, conveying by it's passage an assurance to the peo- pie and garrison that they may rest in peace. Once the gates are shut 1t were easier for camel to pass through the eye of needle than for any unauthor- ized person to go into Gibraltar. Even belated officer returning from pig sticking beyond the lines would be con- fronted by so many formalities and the necessity of inconyeniencing so high personages that he would probably prefer to encounter the discomfort of Spanish inn without.
