Weight Lost by FaatInr.

During a prolonged fast the loss OF
weight is unusually rapid at first, and
decreases as the time goes on; death
ensues when a certain percentage OF
the loss has been reached. and this
percentage varies according to the or
iginal weight Fat animals may lose
half their weight. thinner ones per-
haps two-ffths; a man or woman of
rather spare build, weighing 143
pounds, might, therefore, lose about
90 pounds before succumbing. Chill
dren die after fast OF from three to
five days, during which they have lost
a quarter of their weight. Healthy
adults, however, have tasted so days

man physician reports the case of a

A MARINE VIEW.

The ship had dropped anchor in the
lower bay and the captain was nerv-
ously pacing the deck waiting for the
owners tug, say the New York Trib-
une. A man hailed the ship from a
rowboat and said he was coming on
board.
The captain recognized him as n
boarding house runner, and ordered
him off. The runner insisted.
The minute you come over The rail
of this ship, I'll shoot you like dog!'
yelled the captain.

the man making his boat fast TO the
ships side.

much right to kill you as a man on

Just then the owners tug arrived
and the runner took to his oars.
Wouldn't l have had a right to
shoot him if he'd insisted on coming
on board?" asked the captain. The
owrer had consulted his attorney since
the captain had been in port before
and had to modify his orders.

thought" he said. THE ship is not
your home, but your yard. You can de-

occur covers about two square miles.
A Iew years ago the matter was
brought before the attention of the
British Parliament, and the result of
their investigations showed that dam
age had been inflicted upon 892 build
ings. of which total 636 comprised
houses and cottages. Some idea of the
extent of the excavations in this area
may be gathered from the fact that
as a ton of salt represents one cubic
yard, and 100000 tons of salt are pro-
duced every year, therefore 1900, 900
cubic yards OF solid material underly-
ing the town is removed annually.
The water from the river also gravi-
tates toward these subsidences, causing
huge inland lakes, which agravate the
danger. One of these lakes, locally
called flashes covers no less than
100 acres and varies from 40 to so feet
in depth.
Notwithstanding the frequency of
these subsidences and that they are Of
ten unexpected, strange to say not a
single life has been lost. Havoc has
been wroght among cattle, however,
several animals having been complete
ly engulfed. The tall shafts of the
pumping stations are also another

A Disappear
ing Town.

Northwich. the center of the salt in
dustry of Great Britain, is one Of the
queerest towns in the country. The
whole underlying country is simply one
mass of salt. When descending a shaft,
one passes through successive thick
strata of the mineral. The mining of
the salt constitutes the staple industry
of the district, aud from which North
WITCH alone 100000 tons OF salt are
shipped annually. The product is OBJ
tanned by two methods-quarrying and
brine pumping. In the former case,
which is the method generally adopted.
q shaft is sunk about 800 feet, and the
salt rock blasted and excavated in the
usual manner. The brine-pumping, al
though it is still continued upon a
large scale, is gradually falling into
'disuse. When the industry was started
is was considered that only one STRAIT
UNI of salt existed, and that was only a
few feet below the surface. Fresh
water found its way to this ex-
tensive salt deposit, with the result
that the salt dissolved like snow. A
huge subterranean lake of water,
charged with rs per cent of salt, was
thus formed. Pumping engines were
then installed to convey this brine to
the surface to large evaporating pans,
in which a heavy deposit of salt was
left after the water had evaporated
The result of this extensive pumping
is that Northwich rests, as it were, up
on a shell of earth, which at times
