So far as government borrowings
are an indication, says the New York
Evening Post, the annual cost of the
Boer war to Great Britain has been
nearly double that of the wars against
Napoleon, 100 years ago. In the
period 1792-1S02, when England was
fighting necessarily in almost every
corner of the globe. and was in addi-
tion subsidizing half dozen continen-
tai states. the principal of the British
debt increased G297, 1883, ,5S7-an aver
age annual increase of G29. .7S9 900.
Between 1902 and 1915. a period which
covered the Spanish campaign. the
American war and Waterloo. the debt
increased 9323. 1856. .041-an annual av-

SALT LAKE is VANISHING.
Scientists Declare Nothing Will Be
Left Of II In Fifty Years.

Within fifty years from the present
time the Great Salt Lake of Utah-the
most remarkable body of water of its
kind in the world-will have ceased to
exist. 1t will have dried up and it's
place will be occupied by an Inattract-
i've desert, save perhaps for a few irri-
gated farms.
Such, at all events, is the opinion of
biologists. Prof. w. ]. MCGEE of
Washington remarked in cow ersation
the other day that half a century was
an outside estimate for the survival Of
the lake. He was inclined to think
that it would be dried up twenty-five
years from now. Already it's waters
show signs of receding from the shores,
and causes are in operation which less
en- to great extent the supplies fur
nished to this curious inland sea by
streams.
The lake is about seventy-five miles
long by half that in greatest breadth,
being in shape somewhat irregular, and
is rather shallow. There may be places
where 1t has depth of as much as 100
feet, but over most of it's area it is less
than fifty feet deep. The reason why 1t
is so salty Is simply that 1t has no out
let save through evaporation, and the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be-
ginning to be utilized on a large scale
for irrigating purposes, and thus the
customary water supply is being with
held to some extent from the lake.
Before long immense reservoirs will be
constructed in the mountains to hold
the storm waters during the rainy sea-
son, in order that they may be con-
served and poured out ,ver the fields
in the dry time. Operations of this
kind, conducted so extensively, must
lower the level of the lake quite fast.

sATHEp IN THE CRATER.
Story Of Denver Man Who Lived on
ST. Vincent.

James A. Small, inspector in the
Denver postoffice district, was for ten
years sugar planter in st. Vincent,
and during that time Travelled all over
the slopes of Mount Soufriere, which
has lately caused the devastation Of
that island.
"It was in 1855 that 1 went to st.
Vincent" said Mr.. Small, land l was
then only seventeen years old. l went
right into the business of making su-
gar, being known as the youngest
planter in the business. l worked there
for ten years, doing well. The island
was covered with fine plantations. 1t
was hard work, and for ten months of
the time l did not sleep in bed. 1t
was working to get my plant ready for
the cane, overseeing things about the
place and being general boss of every
thing.
''The summit of Soufriere was pref
tily wooded when | was there, with
dense tropical growth. 1t had been an
active vOlvano in 1912 and had scat
tered its ashes ninety miles away, but
/ never saw any evidences of any
threatened activity. AT it's top were
two immense craters, the large one
three miles across and the smaller
about mile and a half.
Dozens of times, yes, hundreds,
have climbed to the small crater and
bathed in it's waters. The big crater
was harder to get at.
THE only man l knew of or at
least he was the first man to make his
way to the big lake in its CENTER was
DR., 'Sandies Robertson. He armed
himself with an axe, worked his way
to the top and down the 800 feet to the
borders of the lake. Here he cut down
a tree that he followed into canoe.
He had line of several hundred feet
but was unable to sound the depths of
the lake. l do not know that any one
ever did. 1t was believed to reach
down to at least the level of the ocean.
1t is hard to believe that all this
beautiful lake region has been de-
stroyed and thrown up by volcano.

Y HE Salt Lake Opera company
gave its opening performances of
"The Jolly Musketeer' yesterday
afternoon and evening. The
matinee turnout was tremendous and
the house was filled to overlooking at
the night performance.
It is a constantly recurring chest
nut" 10 cali a production by the home
company the best yet" But if any
person who has watched the career Of
che amateurs can gainsay the verdict
in the present case. The Herald would
like to see the color of his hair. The
public has long since learned to expect
only the best from the home organiza-
ton. and has received it. But THE

which is exempliied in The Wedding

about it-there are parts for everybody.
1T was written for three stars-De
Angels, Russell and Fox.
The plot is simple. Henri, count
(the Jolly Musketeer), wants to marry
Yvette, the daughter Of an innkeepeT.
The counts father opposes the union
because Of the girls lOWly station.
Meanwhile. Francois, a marquis has
killed a superior officer in duel and

distinction Of being the most versatile
artist in the world.
All these accomplishments are re-
flected in his broadly diversified crea-
tons SO well does he understand
character. temperament and human
nature that his creations are not types
but entities. In his day Mansfield has
created three Frenchmen, Baron Chew
rial, Cyrano de Bergerac and Monsieur
Beaucaire Now, the marvel is that
though all three were typically, unmis-
takably French. none had any one
recognizable trait in common with an
other. an immeasurably greater demon
stratiOn of virtuOsity than to have ere
ated two portraits of contrasting ma
tionality. IN his varied gallery he has
placed Rodion, the Russian; Captain
BluntschH, the Swiss; Don Juan, the
Spaniard; Neor, the Roman; Herr Eu-
gen Courvoisier. the German; ShylOck
the Jew; Arthur Dimmersdale and Dick
Dudgeon, the Colonials; King Richard
III Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, King
Henry Y and Beau Brummel, the last
fipe all Englishmen; yet all quite as
distinct from each other as they are
from his three Frenchmen. It is this
catalogue Of achievement which stamps
Mansfield a master, a title he has won
by what nature gave him for founda-
ton. and what he has built on with I'M
firing and unremitting hard work.
We are this week to see three of
