service They prefer the factory for two
reasons. One is that in factory work
each emplOye does one thing, and that

becomes more or less automatic invOly-

also are fixed and regulated by the sound

No self-respecting employer will ever

when fault is to be reprobated. Scrv-

UTAH'S ISLAND SEA.
Occurrences Which Are Gradually
Causing Its Disappearance.

The level of Great Salt lake, Utah. is

enterprises. The Jordan and Bear riv-
ers, City creek and other tributaries rise
in the mountains to the east. and before

Palestine. That sea was formerly much
larger than at present, as is shown Ivy
the old beaches, stretching at various
levels along the basin. Since the middle
of the century its level has been very
slowly rising, till quite recently, but now
it is falling. This shrinkage of Great
Salt lake is not to natural causes. but to
the increasing quantity of water taken
from the Jordan and smaller streams by
farmers, who are diverting all they can
to get their lands. Some Of the salt de
posits covering the bottom of the lake
may now be seen above the water in the
shallower places and near the shores.
But even if this shrinkage should 20
