CHEAT SAL7 LAKE.
No A.ivlng Thing in IL and No DanEs,
 of Being Drowned.

The water of tie Great Salt lake, Utah, is clear and transpareR |, with bottom of fine white sand and mar gin of incrVsted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world. It's waters give sus- tenance to 10 living thing; there ia not the smallest insect or worm ts ;righten the most ttmid hather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea oathfng in the wlole of North Ameri- ca or in Europe No human body can sink in it. One may actually walk tho water. nc matter how deep it is. Your body will persis.tently rise up, tha shoulders above the surface, or you nay even sit down :n it. It's wonder tul buoyaacy must be experienced te he reaIized. No knowledge of swim nilg is necessary; one may enter the .ake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim in it, that is an- other thing. When your hands ara put under the water to take stroke, your feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at sfme. You cannot swim, : but if yen are a man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed , under your head, and smoke your pips ar cigar with as much ease as if in our own room. The water is so salt 'tat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulatioE; 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 inn 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 Dathe in the Great Salt lake ever, 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'

foremost into a vat Of scalding water
at the veneer mill at about S O'Clock
Wednesday morning. His nails and
hair have come of and the skin from
his BODY will probably come off too.
Physicians say there Is Just a possible
chance OF the mans recovery.
The vat is used to steam the logs for
veneer. and is l2 feet deep. There
are three openings In the vat. Mr.
O'Brien stepped backward and fell into
the vat while lodging a pair OF tougs.
which he thought would strike the hot
water 10 the openings in front of him.
No blame attaches to the proprietore,
as they have repeatedly given strict
orders to keep the openings closed ex-
cep. the one in use at the time.
After being taken out Mr. O'Brien
pluckily walked to his home, 20 rods
away, aud nearly opposite the veneer
mil. O'Brien came to Richford quite
recently from Sutton, Que. he has
wife and eight children.
This is the third accident at this same
vat, and is by far the most serious one.
