At Salton, in southern California, ex-
lists basin of land between 200 and
200 feet below sea level About 1000
acres of the depressed area are cov-
cred with a deposit Of salt. which O. F..
Holden describes in The Scientific
American as one Of the sights Of Cali
fornia. The salt is first thrown into
ridges by a peculiarly shaped plow.
drawn by a dummy engine with ca
bles. and then is piled into conical
heaps before being carried to the dry
ing house and crushing mill. The ex-
panse looks like field Of snow. About
1000 tons Of salt are removed each
year, but the supply Is perennially re-
newed by the deposits of salt springs
which flow into the basin. In June the
temperature of the air reaches $50 de-
grees, and only Indian workmen can
Withstand the heat and glare.

Posing as O. Model.

A curious feature of a models occu-
patton is her posing for an artist who
is painting some one else. Wealthy
people are capricious and often do not
care to give long sittings. Therefore.
after the artist has caught the express
sion Of the face, he will call In q model
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this, as part of their
enjoyment of their occupation consists
In seeing themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there are others who are
quite willing to help fill out.
Various models have various points
Of excellence, and often a painter will
employ at different stages In the prog
ress Of his work from three to four
models for one figure on his canvas
One model is known for her coloring,
another for her hands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notes in his
address book the characteristics of a
model after her name. These quota
tions are taken at random from an
artists address book: "Fine young
Jewess," English, tall and slim, blond,
costume;" Good back" Good figure,
short legs. ivory tone."-Cosmepolitan.

Showing the Queer.

The game of counterfeiting in this
country is played by people of all ma
|tionalities, and. although some women
and children are used as tools, men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem is how
to convert 1t into good money. The
maker rarely takes part in that opera
ton. 1t is the business Of gangs, which
consist usually Of two persons, known
as the "holder" and the Shower"
The holder carries a stock of the
counterfeit money, and the shower has
one piece. This he takes to a store or a
saloon and buys something for a small
amount. and when he comes into the
street the holder sees him from his po-
sition block away, joins him, receives
the good money and hands him another
counterfeit.
The object is to work so that the
shower, If detected, may plead inne.
cence and prove that the piece is the
only one that he has and that he has nc
other money. Some clever operators

when l went to slip a card this old

II rubbed my right, but 1t wouldn't
straighten out and it kept this way
until the next day, and then l went to
doctor. He didn't know me as well
as you do, but the first question he
asked was:
"'Deal cards a great deal, don't you ?
"'Yes.'
"'Do you deal with an elbow move

but the doctor was good and said:
"'Now, don't get flurried. I'll
straighten you up. Just quit dealing
awhile, and I'll give your hand a few
doses Of electricity, and you'll be all
right
"He did 1t, and in about three days

A Truly True Dog Story.

Here is an Australian dog story from
the back blocks: A sheep dog had been
brought from a station into a small
township and fretted after the sheep.
One day not child was to be seen
about the place, and as evening came
the township became alarmed. Search
was made, and the Juveniles were
found huddled up in the corner Of a
paddock, where the dog had rounded
them up. He had no sheep to look aft
er, SO he took the children. The mar
rator Of this lie guarantees it as fact.

"There Is a man who has some diff
Guilty in gauging his wife's temper. At
times she Is considerate Of his welfare
and at other times-well, he rather
thinks that married life Is failure.
"He has peculiar manner of finding
out the state of his wife's feeling to-
ward him. In the evening when he re-
turns home from work he never steps
into the house without going through a
sort of ceremony. First he throws his
hat In the house, and then he seats
himself on the steps and waits. II FIVE
minutes pass without the hat being
thrown out again, he enters and gener-
ally finds his wife very agreeable.
However, If the hat is thrown out

Where and How the Famous BODY
Was Organized.
When the civil war ended, the little
town Of Pulaski, Tenn, welcomed a
band of young men who, though they
were veterans Of hard fought fields,
were for the most part no older than
the mass of college students. In the
general poverty, the exhaustion. the
lack Of heart, naturally prevalent
throughout the beaten south, young
men had more leisure than was good
for them. -e---s.--..- r.-.-..=--- -----=-=-...-
A southern country town, even in the
halcyon days before the war, was not
particularly lively place, and Pulaski
In 1866 was doubtless rather tame to
fellows who had seen Pickett charge
at Gettysburg or galloped over the
country with Morgan and Wheeler. A
group Of them assembled in a law Office
one evening in May, 1866, were discuss
ing ways and means Of having live
her time. Some one suggested club
or society. An organization with no
very definite aims was effected, and at
| second meeting, a week later, names
were proposed and discussed. Some
one pronounced the Greek word kuLklos,
meaning circle.
From kuklos to kuklux was an easy
| transition-whoever consults glossary
of college boys slang will not find 1t
strange-and khan followed kuklux as
naturally as "dumpty" follows "hump-
ty." That the name meant nothing
whatever was a recommendation, and
one can fancy what sort of badinage
would have followed a suggestion that
in six years a committee of congress
would devote 13 volumes to the history
of the movement that began in Pu-
laski law Office and migrated later to a
