SALT MINING IN LOUISIANA.
Immense Possibilities Through Use o
Compressed Air.

I'm mense Possibilities through Use OF
Compressed Air.
A. Haskins, Boston man, has solved
the problem Of salt-mining through the
quick sands OF the salt islands Of Louis
lana. BY the successful result Of his
operations there has just been devel-
oped on Weeks Island another salt
mine, sufficient, it is asserted, to supply
the needs OF the entire United States
and Canada. The facilities for hand
ling the salt are excellent, the Southern
away, while the island lies in Vermil-
lion Bay, with deep channel to the
Gulf Of Mexico. The Southern Pacific
is now constructing Il spur with
switches direct to the mine.
For several years attempts have been
made to sink shafts down to the salt
stratum, but all have filled in as soon
as the quicksands We're struck. 1t was
not until Mr.. Haskins adopted the de
vice Of sinking Il caisson and excluding
the water by compressed air that the
problem was solved. 1t has never been
ascertained to what depth the rock-salt
goes, but the shaft will be sunk 400 to
81. feet deeper, when tunnels will be
run out in various directions and the
salt mined at the rate Of 6OO tons per
day.
The practical solution of this diff
Guilty has opened up another immense
industrial possibility for Louisiana. for
ON many Of the islands on the south
western coast salt Is known to exist,
but it has been unattainable ON account
Of the qulcksand formation through
which shafts must pass. Jefferson

A Whistling Spider.

IL. A. Peters, one Of the owners of
the Lashaway dairy farm, on the
Spencer road, while on his way to
spider OF unknown species. When Mr..
Peters first saw the spider, which was
making a bee hne over the public high
way for East Brookfield. he was so
amazed mt the sight that he rubbed
both eyes several times before he could
realize that the monster was reality.
Then, hastily grasping an empty glass
milk Jar, Peters jumped from the wag-
OH and was about to make the stranger
a prisoner when he was startled by a
distinctly-audible whistle emanating
from the insect. Instantly a flock of
minute facsimiles Of the peculiar spi-
der came rushing from all directions,
clambering up the legs Of the big spi-
der, and hid themselves In the fuzzy
hair on Its back. After securing her
attitude. Peters thrust the mouth Of
the jar over the whole family Of spiders
and made them prisoners. Hundreds
have since viewed the monster and Its
offspring and all are puzzled. The body
of the large spider Is one and half
inches In length. The body is black
and is supported by eight powerful legs.
each two inches long. The head is
supplied with powerful-looking jaws,
from which two feelers half an inch in
length protrude. The beady eyes are
Jet black.

indian Braves Dramatic Fate.

One Of the most tragic episodes in the
life OF 1.-The First White Baby Born In
the Northwest" after she had grown to
girlhood, is told by w. S. HARDWOOD, in
the Ladies Home Journal. Her father
was an army officer and the little FROM
tier post where he was stationed had
been established to prevent bloodshed
between the Chippewas and the Sioux.
and to see justice done between them.
\ quintette Of Sioux braves had brutal
ly killed some Of the Chippewas with
out cause. The commandant Of the post
investigated the affair, demanded the
guilty Sioux, and, as there was no ques-
ton regarding the crime, turned them
over to the Chippewas. One of the
Sioux, a stalwart young fellow, was an
especial favorite of the little girl. He
was master hand at fashioning curl
GUS toys. and many We're the treasures
which he had given to the little paleface
whom he loved. So 1t was with heavy
heart that she heard the decision of the
Chippewa council-the gantlet. Far
across the flower decked parade ground
stood the line of Sioux waiting for their
comrades. Opposite them We're the
Chippewas with their best riflemen in
readiness. IL the prisoners succeeded
In reaching their friends they We're en-
titled to liberty. One by one the Indians
sprang forth, and one by one they We're
left quivering amidst the summer flow
ers. Little Six" the friend Of the
girl who stood watching the strange
scene from the doorway Of her fathers
quarters, was the last Of the five, and
the swiftest runner OF them all. There
was an intense hope In her heart that
he might be spared but though he with
stood one volley she was doomed to see
her favorite spring into the air, just us
he reached the goal. and fall dead at
the feet of his friends.
