a sitting and dining room, but also Of

The charge for these Injuries will be-
half a guinea weekly, while IS pence
including fish, or eggs and bacon, toast.
rolls, ETC.. for breakfast, and a late:
dinner, with soup or fish, & choice of
at least four joints, game, when cheap,
pastry, or pudding and cheese. 4 100.
guinea grand piano has been presented
by one of the founders.
The club is not charity, but is inteno~
ed to help working women. The pro-
moters do not desire to make a profit.
and if more than per cent. should be
earned on the 100000 which the club
has cost, the money will be spent on
the club. In the event Of the scheme

SALT LAKE IS VANISHING.
Scientists Declare Nothing will DC
Left of it in Fifty Years.


:. Within fifty years from the present
most remarkable body of water Of its
kind in the world--will have ceased to
exist. It will have dried up, and it's
place will be occupied by an unattrac-
tive desert, save perhaps for few irri-
gated farms.
Such, at all events, is the opinion Of
biologists. Prof. w. J. MCGEE of Wash
other day that half century was All
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 lessen to a great ex-
tent the supplies furnished to this curious
inland sea by streams.
The Like is about seventy-fve miles
long by talf that in greatest breadth,
being i'll shape somewhat Irregular and
is rather shallow. There may be places
where it has depth of as much as 100
feet, but over most Of it's area it is less
than 90 feet deep. The reason why it
is SO salt is simply that it has no outlet
save through evaporation, and the
streams during ages past have been car
rying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be-
ginning to be utilized on a large scale for
lrrlgatlng purposes, and thus the GUS
tomary water supply is being withheld
to some extent from the lake. Before
long immense reservoirs will be con-
structed in the mountains to hold the
storm waters during the rainy season, in
order that they may be conserved and
poured out over the fields in the dry
time. Operations of this kind, conducted
so extensively, must lower the level Of
the lake quite fast.-Philadelphia Satur-
