Part Of the salt manufactured in this
plant is made by the vacuumpan pro-
cess. In operating the plant the pans
are first filed by gravity. after which
the gravity supply pipe is closed, and
the valve in the pipe connecting with
the settlers is opened the brine being
drawn into the pans by the vacuum
therein as the evaporation proceeds.
The water and the air pumps are in
serted, steam is admitted to the steam
belt and the process Of manufacturing
salt begins. The atmospheric pressure
being removed from the surface Of the
brine, the latter boils violently at a tenn
perature which seldom rises above 150
degrees barenheit The brine rushes
upward through the tubes, and under
the rapid evaporation the brine becomes
50 dense that it can no longer hold the
salt in solution. Fine crystal grains
are formed, as the liquid clrculates
through the large three-foot opening in
the steam belt, and falling to the bot
tom Of the pan they pass to the foot
or the elevator, whence they are taken
up and dumped into the drainage bins.
After the salt has remained in these
bins for a period Of sixteen to eighteen
hours, 1t is drawn of into carts, wheel
ed to the storage bins and dumped. 1t
is customary to use the pans for not
longer than twelve consecutive hours,
at the end of which period they are
emptied, boiled out with fresh water,
and cleaned. One Of the pans is run
during the day and the other during the
night, each pan making in a twelve
hour run from 600 to 700 barrels Of
salt, the combined production being
from 1900 to 400 barrels a day.
In the manufacture of salt it is n
recognized necessity that q large guam
tlty must be kept in storage, and for
this purpose the salt is dumped into
vast storerooms which measure from
200 to 300 feet in length, and the same
in width; the amount in store frequent
ly aggregated 100000 barrels. As these
rooms are from sixteen to twenty feet

Professor Carl Braun, of Bangor,
Me, has 100000 eggs in cold storage
in his laboratory. They are the eggs
of the silkworm, and were sent to him
from Japan. Professor Braun is Pres
ident of the National Science Associ-
alton, and long has believed that East
ern Maine is a good place to start a
silkworm industry. He is planning
to keep tie eggs in cold storage until
the Matching time comes around and
then the sun, warmth and stir will
do the rest. He says silkworm culture
offers an alluring opportunity to Maine
women and girls to branch out into
a new line of work. He has made a
number Of experiments and has found
that silk can be raised in Eastern
Maine.

II used to be that the mere fact
Of having written a book was suffi-
cient to confer distinction upon man,
and to know that a person had got
into print was to be conscious of a Ger
tain awe for that individual. But now
people first ask what kind of a book
and what is the nature of the print
for which the author is responsible,
and they decline to turn their heads
to gaze at literary mediocrity. A little
pallOr in the face and a few ink stains
On the fingers are no longer accepted
as the indications of greatness, and
there seems to be a reaction in favor
Of sunburn and earth stains. The man
who digs and grows brown seems
never TO be working in vain, but he
who grows wan in the production
OF short-llved literature is a pathetic
ally ineffective figure, remarks the

Of salt is a dangerous operation, and
involves long delays; and to overcome
these difficulties, the companies have
used a compressed.air driven spiral
auger which Is ten inches in diameter
and provided with a double spoon
point The auger is mounted on a
truck and the back end Of the shaft
is attached to a three-horse-power ro-
tary air drill machine. A row Of holes
is driven into the salt wall at a height
of ten inches from the floor for a dis
tance Of six feet into the mass, the
holes being drilled as closely together
as possible. After an interval Of one
to three hours, a fall of salt takes
place, a mass equal to 400 or 500 bar
rels Of salt being brought down In each
section. The saving Of labor by the
use Of the compressed-air drill is shown
by the fact that sufficient salt can be
undermined and caved In this manner
in one-hnlf day to keep the packers at
work for two OF three days following.

SALT PACKERS AT WORK IN THE STORAGE ROOMS.

The accompanying diagrams and
photographs represent the modern
state Of the art. AS the brine is
pumped from the well, It is delivered to
the storage cisterns, from which 1t falls
by gravity to the settlers, and from the
settlers to the grainers. In the settlers
It is heated to a temperature of about
10 degrees Fahrenheit. Upon being al
lowed to cool, the gypsum, which, If it
were not removed. would form a coat
ing on the steam pipes in the grainers,
is precipltated, and as soon as precipi-
tation is completed the brine is drawn
to a long box running across the head
ends Of the grainers, and from the box
it is fed to the grainers as required. The
latter are long, shallow tanks, near
the bottom of which, and extending
throughout their full length, is a series
Of steam pipes. The brine being ad-
mitted to the grainers, the steam is
turned on, the liquor soon acquires
high temperature, and rapid evapOra-
tion takes place. To assist the preclpi-
tation of the grains Of salt, the surface
Of the brine is agltated at frequent in
tervals by means Of a series Of paddles
which are operated by lever at the
end Of the grainer. The salt accumu-
lates at the bottom, until in the course
Of twenty-four hours there will be a
layer from six to eight inches deep.
The salt is lifted from the grainer by
means Of long-handled, perforated
shoyels, and Is deposited on the rum
away. As soon as it is thoroughly
drained, it is shoveled into carts, run
out over the storage bin, and dumped.

1t is a fine thing to develop the
body. 1t is even a finer thing to de-
velop the l. d, but the great value
comes in the fact that athletics de-
yelop the character and this is what
counts. Whatever may be said Of
university men who have done their
duty in the crew, or the eleven or the
nine, those men must necessarily have
practiced the rugged virtues of cour-
age, resolution, self-domination, the
power Of acting in conjunction with
others, resolution to act as gentlemen,
and often, what is more important
to act as men. 1t is these qualities
which make athletes so invaluable,

The Firm Did Not Die.

1t is well to take an interest in your

about a young man who was d com

worker, but exceedingly bumptious. A
favorite opinion of his was that the
firm could not get along without him.

"that If l should die the firm would
have to put up the shutters within

He had made the same remark sew

envious clerk carried it to the ears Of
the firm.
The senior partner sent for him next
day.

gravely, that you think that the firm
would fail If you died"
Mr.. Smart hemmed and hawed and
tried to turn It of as a joke, but 1t
wouldn't do.

tlnued the senior partner, "and so we
have decided to try an experiment
Just consider yourself dead for a year,
Mr.. Smart, and If at the end of the
year the firm feels itself dying we
will send for you
"But, sir"
"That will do, Mr.. Smart you may
GO"
He went, a sadder and much wiser
young man; and the firm did not die,

deep the salt becomes tightly packed,
and has to be worked loose by packers
with picks, shovels, grubhoes, etc., who
proceed to quarry, break up and pack
the salt into barrels. With the coarser

this is not a difficult matter, but the

ural resources Of the State Of
Michigan are the forests which
cover a considerable extent Of

as the result of the use of gasoline
for renovating purposes. Some time,
perhaps it may occur to the authori

involved in the use Of gasoline IS
hardly balanced by the saving Of
money achieved by cleaning a few
