II have never seen the Atlantic or the

Russell of Park City, Utah. He is an
official Of the great silver mine near
Park City, which extends deeper than
any other in the world.
Salt lake is remarkable sheet Of
water in many ways, and bathing in it
possesses features which are unique. 1t

be sure, but it takes some time to be-

buoyancy Of the water. It is quite i'm

she noticed that beside her sat stout
elderly person, obviously wealthy, obvl-

GAS MADE FROM AIR.
1t is Claimed that Oxygen Process
| mill ReYolufiouize Metal Tradea.

1t is Claimed that Oxygen Process
will Revolutionize Metal Trades.
According to NJ. Raoul Pictet, the ia
nous Swiss inventor, his latest discovery
in regard to the manufacture of oxygen
gas will revolutionize the metal trades
Of this country, and, indeed, will have
an important influence on most Of our
Industries.
Briefly the invention consists Of taking
oxygen out Of the atmospheric air by
process as at present. The inventor
claims that by this process the cost Of
oxygen will be very much less than a
farthing per cubic foot, which, compared
with present prices, is in the proportion
of farthings to shillings.
The process will be applied to metal
lurgy, chemistry, lighting and public
health: For lighting purposes the oxy-
it is said, will give much better light
ing properties and can be used for smelt-
ing all ore containing gold and other
refractory ores. The process, it is said,
will be much cheaper than any present
one for sanitary purposes. The oxygen
can be put into large rooms, schools, the
aters and so forth, and by this means
the air will be rendered much purer.
1T is certainly a very great idea, y

Nelson NJ. Messer, son Of J. G. Mes

Every day for three weeks he has

he has about 25O bushels more yet to dig

SNAKES BY THE POUND.
o, izin of the Industry in an Oregon

Or iSin of the Industry in an Oregon
,''1'll take two pounds of snake,
please
That is what one may hear at certain
stores in klamath Falls, Or, where
there is quite an extensive industry in
snakes. Children gather their aprons
full of snakes as they would of wild
flowers, and little boys gather them in
their pockets for pets.
The snake industry Of klamath Falls
came about in this fashion:
Postmaster CaStil some time ago re-
ceived a letter from a concern in Mime
sofa asking the price of reptiles and in:
quiring if they could be shipped to Min
nesota. Thinking it joke the post
master replied that he would furnish all
the snakes desired at 25 cents a pound.
Imagine his surprise when, by return
mail. an order was received for 400
pounds Of snake. The Minnesota firm
then informed him that next season they
would place an order for 800 pounds.
That set the people Of klamath Falls
to thinking. and the present snake in
dustry of the town is the result of their
cogitations. The species of water snake
so plentiful at klamath Falls is of a
dark color and when full grown about
three feet long. ~ ~ , : :
So great is the supply that tons of the
reptiles could be shipped annually, If
there were orders for them The snakes
are used for medicinal PURPOSES. as 4
superior quality Of oil can be manufac-
tured from the variety found at klamath
Falls.-Denver Times.
