this has almost meant ruin. In vain do the

Practically InexhaustibIe.
The salt crystals do not dissolve during

sooner has the plow gone over the field
than the crust begins to form again:
therefore it would seem that the salt
fields of Salton are inexhaustible The salt

complete evaporation of all water takes
place, when 1t is transferred to the fiat
cars and carried to the mills at Salton.
'rhe factory is a structure about 600 feet
in length, and consists of a milling and
drying plant When the salt arrives at the
mill it is thrown into bulkhead breaker

portion of carbonate of soda mixed with
the native salt, and this simply aids in the
cleansing process. When thoroughly ground

Weird by MOOnlight.
The most delightful time to visit the crys-
tai lake is upon a moonlight night. The
spectacle is magnificent, but weird. The
rows of gistening pyramids, the glitter
of the moonlight from the facets of mil
lions of crystals, the distant background
of low, black hills, the expanse and still
ness Of the shadowless plain. strike one
with awe and wonder that can never be
forgotten.
Last December the United States land
office unearthed some records which seemed
to indicate that the salt farming company
had right title to the valuable prop
erty it is now working. Owing to the pc
culiar geographical condition consequent
upon the overflow of the river forming the
Salton sea, and the subsequent subsistence
and disappearance of the sea, the legal
points involved are quite intricate. The
case will probably come up soon for adju-
dication.

THE HARVESTED CROP.
LIBRARY IN CENTRAL PARK.
Students of Nature May Now Use the
Swedish School House.

Students of Nature May Now Use the
Swedish School House.
From the New York Tribune.
A new attraction at Central Park is the
reading room just established for those in
terested in nature studies. 1t Is in the
building known as the Swedish school
house. or cottage, on the west drive, near
that part Of the park known as the Ram
bles. Considerable interest attaches to this
building. which was originally erected by
the Swedish government at the centennial
exposition in 1876. At the close of the ex-
position 1t was given to this city and re-
moved to Central Park, where 1t has stood
ever since. 1t has been used for various
purposes, but chiefly as shelter for cy-
cliSts.
A short time ago Park Commissioner
George c.. Clausen decided that the needs
of cyclists no longer demanded the whole
of the building, and. as the neighborhood Is
exceedingly picturesque and much frequent
ed by students of nature, he determined to
establish a library on botany, bud life and
kindred subjects in the quaint cottage. Ac-
cordingly Mr.. Clausen wrote to the pub
fishers OF books requesting their co-Opera-
ton. The responses were so favorable that
last week the reading room was opened to
the public with a comprehensive library of
books for their use. which will be available
each day from 10 a. m. to pm.
The library itself Is unique. being con-
structed In the picturesque Swedish style
of architecture In appearance it reminds
one somewhat Of the Swedish building at
the worlds fair OF Chicago, although it Is
much smaller. The structure is one story
in height, with an attic, and includes q
large and well-arranged reading room,
wcman's toilet room and kitchen, with
a large, old fashioned fireplace.
The books which number about two hum
dred. afford comprehensive study of bot
any, bird life. landscape gardening. ento-
mology and natural history. The general
surroundings are among the most attractive
OF the park. the Rambles. Cave and Lovers

A NATIONAL MOVEMENT.
Magnitude of the Effort to Change In
auguratfOn Day.


From the Baltimore American.
A national movement has been started
from Washington by the inauguration COM
mittee having for it's object change OF the
date of the Inauguration from March TO
the last of April. This is not new move
ment, but we believe it is the first time 1t
has been undertaken in way to enlist di-
rectly the peoples influence. 1t has been
begun sufficiently far in advance of the
meeting of Congress to enable the pro-
moters to bring to bear whatever weight
the scheme may have acquired from their
efforts.
An effort has been made to enlist con-
gressmen in the fight. 1t does not appear
that the latter are friendly to the scheme.
They feel some embarrassment ON account
of the changes which go along with the al
teration Of Inauguration day, and they are.
to some extent, perplexed by the temporary
change in the term of the presidency, for II
the date Is changed the incoming President
must either lose two months of his term or
he must cut that much from his successors
term. Still, IL Congress can be assured tnat
the people desire the change these embar-
rassments would not prevent H. II Is nor
like some other matters upon Whlch tnat
body Is asked to leg1slate, and which more
or less involve their own interests. Legis-
lators are apt to be apathetic concerning
almost any question until IL IS Drougnt
home to them that the people demand 1t.
The arguments for q change have been
given so often>as scarcely to need repeti-
ton One of the strongest is that the In
auguration has become the grandest and
most inspiring Of national functions. and
the American people literally pour out to It
from all quarters OF the United States.
This brings many thousands from climates
which are quite the opposite Of that which
is likely to prevail in Washington on the
4th Of March, and subjects them to con-
trasts very injurious to health. In a meas
ure this applies to all who attend the tnau-
guration. There Is apt to be either a down.
pour Of rain or an atmosphere which fs
more uncomfortable and more dangerous to
health. The people who have the patriot
it would seem, to have their comfort and
health considered In fixing the date OF the
august event.

Probably a greater popular interest
now attaches to The Georgia Ala

that in addition to giving young la

practical business training than is OBJ

ty of securing positions for them ;

Dental Notice.

DIR. Van Watts is now permanently
located in his old office, which has
just been remodeled and refitted in
neat and elegant style. He is here to
stay, and to practice dentistry and
nothing else. He don't talk politics
or religion; he don't care anything
about the war in the Philippine Is
lands; he don't know whether it was
Turks or Bulgarians that kidnapped
Miss Stone, and he don't care if Teddy
Roosevelt dined with Booker Wash
ington, he can be found in his office at
all times prepared to do any style of
work known to the dental profession.
He guarantees, by new method, to eX-
tract or fill the most sensitive teeth
without pain, harm or danger to the
patient. He uses nothing but best
material and guarantees the work for
life. Nothing cheap about his work
except his charges. 1t will cost moth
