SALT PACKERS AT WORK IN THE STORAGE looms.

soon finds himself confronted by avail
of salt twenty feet in height and as
white, if not as hard, as marble. To
undermine and bring. down this mass
of salt is a dangerous operation, and
involves long delays; and to overcome
these difficulties, The Companies have
used q compressed-air driven spiral
lrger, which is ten inches in diameter
and provided With asdouble spoon
point. The auger is mounted on a
truck and the back end Of the shaft
is attached to q eesh0rse-power ro-
;a:y air drill machsnS row of holes
is driven into the aall at height
of ren inches from ID pOr for dis
tance of six feet int0Efhe mass. the
holes being drilled as closely together
rs possible. After ansihterval of one
TO three hours. a fall Of salt takes
place, a mass equal to 400 or 800 bar
-els cf 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-half day to keep the packers at
work for two or three days following.

without any pipe casing, except
through such portions as are liable to
cave. Salt well No. 5 at Manistee,
which is described in the present ar
ticle, is fairly typical Of the wells in
this vicinity. The ten-inch pipe reaches
to a depth of 400 feet, the eight-inch
pipe to a Ccpth of GIG feet, where the
rock formation is encountered. The
bed of rock salt, which is thirty feet
in thickness, reaches to OF
1856 feet, making total pa :
2015 feet. The yield pumped from this
well amounts to from 1000 to 2400 bar
rels of brine in 1wenty-four hours.
The accompanying diagrams and
photographs represent the modern
state of the art. AS the brine is
pumped from the we'll, it is delivered 10

British Prisoners at Pretoria.

The Beers treated us with every
kindness after capturing US, and here,
VIII ere we have just arrived this morn
ing, we are all in large shed on the
race course. There are about fifty
officers prisoners. OF course we had
nothing but what we stood up in, but
the authorities are giving US all neces-
saries and feed us. We are all teeto-
tallers, as we are not given any spirits,
and in fact all spirits are forbidden to
he sold in the Transvaal during the
war and all liquors shops and re-.
freshment rooms are closed. The
food is plentiful though plain, and
we are allowed to supplement it by
buying things. Then we have been
presented by the Government with n
suit of multi, tooth brush, flannel
shirt, pair Of socks, pair OF slip
pers, a bed, blanket, pillow, braces
and towel each. So, you see, we
are comfortable enough, and the only
thing we feel is the restriction on our
liberty.-Letter of m imprisoned or

turned on, the liquor soon acquires q
high temperature, and rapid evapora-
ton takes place. To assist the precipi-
tatlon of the grains of salt, the surface
of the brine is agitated at frequent in
tervals by means Of q 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 n
layer from six to eight inches deep.
The salt is lifted from the grainer by
means of long-handled, perforated
shovels, and is deposited on the run
away. AS soon as it is thoroughly
drained. it is shoveled into carts run
out over the storage bin, and dumped.
The plant under consideration con-
slsts of five wells, three cisterrs each
eighteen feet wide by 100 feet long
and eight feet deep, and six settlers
twelve feet wide. 1I3 feet long, and
eight feet deep, capable Of holding
about 24,O00 barrels. When these els
terms and settlers are all full, l,they hold
enough brine TO manufacture over 1O.-
900 barrels of salt.
Part of the salt manufactured in this
plant is made by the vacuum-pan 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 tem-
rerature which seldom rises above 150
degrees FAHRENHEIT. The brine rushes
upward through the tubes, and under
the rapid evaporation the brine becomes
so dense that it can no longer hold the
salt in solution. Fine crystal grainG
are formed, as the liquid circulatcs

The Modern Stats Of
the Salt Industry.
! Interesting ProcessesS

ONSPICUOUS among the nat
ural resources Of the State OF
Michigan are the forests which

cover a considerable extent of
it's surface and the large deposits OF
salt which underlie a great portion of
it's area. In the vicinity Of Manistee
where the "salt blocks" which form
the subject of the present article are
located, this deposit consists OF a stra-
tum Of rock salt, which is from twenty
five to thirty feet in thickness. Salt
blocks are usually built in connection
with sawmill plants, with view to
making use Of the refuse as fuel, and
for this reason the city Of Manistee
has of late years become such a large
producer of salt that about half Of all
this commodity manufactured in the
State is made at that point.
AS soon as the site Of we'll has been
selected, a cellar is eHcavated and
planked up and a derrick, usually
about eighty feet high, is erected and
the work Of driving commences. The
first operation is to sink a section of
ten-inch pipe. by means of a sand
pump, to depth Of about 400 feet.
from which point the we'll is continued
by inserting an eight-inch pipe within
the ten-inch pipe and driving it down
to the rock formation, the eight-inch
pipe extending from i. the rock UP
through the ten-inch pipe to the sur
face of the ground. From the rock
formation down, the rock Is drilled

The Torture of War.

Lieutenant Meikleiohn, of the Cor.
don Highlanders, seems to have had a
very hot time at Elandslaagte. He
received three bullets through his
upper arm, one through the right tore
arm, one through the left thigh, two
through his helmet, n "sEick" in the
neck, one of lis fingers was b!"wn
away, and the sword and scebbard
were shot to pieces. But he is quite
happy, and the loss of his right arm
gives him little uneasiness. Between
his chuckles he is heard to say: 'The
silly buffers didn't know I ain left

ed to tho storage bins and dumped. It
is customary toause the pans for not
longer than twelve consecutive hours,
at the end of which period they are
empted, 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 q twelve
hour run from GOO to 100 barrels of
salt, the combined production being
from 1900 to 400 barrels a day.
In the manufacture Of salt it is
recognized necessity that a large guam

There are many conventional rules:
for table decorations, but each house
keeper should carry out her own
ideas. A table set without individu-
ality is much like a house furnished
by an upholsterer. Have for every
day use a potted plant, or, If cut hoW-
ers are acceptable, few cut flowers.
If the table is large handsome dish
of fruit or fowegs in the centre, then
the candelabra or candlesticks, and
small dishes of ferns near the ends.'
Ribbon and lace have no place in Or
binary table decorations. All things
should be washable and made Of such
materials as may be easily kept clean..
What Laundresses Fail to Comprehend.
Soft water for washing is preferable
to hard, for various reasons. In the
first place, because it!uses less soap,;
more soap being required to make O.
lather with hard water than with SORT.
In the second place, because hard wa
ter contains deposit Of lime, which
is not good for the clothes, tending
to rot the fbres. One soon learns to.
know the difference in feeling between
hard and soft water. There is no sub
stance so hard that it cannot he dis
solved sooner or late" with water.
Water dissolres the dirt, and water
without soap will do this. We use
soap, however, to soften the grease
which holds the particles of dirt, which
loosen as the grease is softened. IT,
therefore. the water which you are
compelled to use is hard, use borax

GERMANY's POSITION DEFINED.

Wants No More Than Restoration
OF Permanent Order in China.
BERLIN, July TIT is serni-of1cialIy
stated that Count Won Buelow, secretary
of state for foreign affairs, has address
ed circular to the German federal gov
ernments, inswhich, after reviewing re-
cent events in China he said:
''The latest development in the military
situation is the piercing by the Chinese
of the imperial canal near Tien Tsin for
the purpose Of inundat ting the country
and thus harpering any advance upon
Picking from the south, while great mass
es Of hostile Chinese are pressing on from
the north and east.
''Our military measures, consisting of
eight battalions of infantry, three squad
rons of cavalry and four batteries, will
enable us to participate in the military
action in a manner corresponding with
Germany's political Importance. BY the
recent events in China, the successful
German mission operations there, the
cal enter pFises are nenaeed. Our moral
and material interests we must protect.
"Our aim is at the restoration of Sc
curity for persons and property, freedom
of action for German subjects in China
the rescue of foreigners beleagured in
Picking, the establishment of security and
regular conditions under more properly
organized Chinese government, and rep
aration and satisfaction for the outrages
committed We desire no partition Of
China and seek no special advantages.

made up of many of the strongest men in
the council. There can be no question Of
the willingness and ability of the major
ity Of its members to do the best by the
city that can be done, without interest or
favor on their part. That is all the
people ask. If the committee reports
a reasonable proposition the council will
ratify it. unless the assembly sees fit to
stand in the way. And if the council
should adopt any given plan it must be
palpably to the disadvantage of the city
and its people If 1t does not receive the
complete public sanction. The G b g
stands ready to commend any action
which is at all reasonable on its face. The
city is in bad need of a market place
which can be resorted to conveniently by
purchasers and producers alike.
