report.

1t leaked out that drummer for

week and cleaned up Sl700 as the result
of the "sOftness" of certain people in
that city. He talked on the Jeflries-Fitz
simmons fight very carefully and finally
induced Il people TO bet 500 each that
Fitzsimmons would not be knocked out
in the eighth round The men were so
sure that he would not and that he would
win they hurredly posted their money.
II is needless to say that the drummer
was particular friend OF Jeffries and
knew what he was betting on. The re-
suit proved that he knew all about the
fight in advance and that he was betting
on certainty. 1t also incidentally
proves that the story of the fight being a

Prof. VIM. f. King, president Of Cor
nell College, of Iowa, believes that a
newspaper reputation is somewhat
precarious. At the dinner given in
honor Of Leslie NJ. Shaw, secretary Of
the treasury, at the st. Denis hotel
recently President King told Of the
experience of a famous general of the
civil war, who was described in the
leading newspaper of the town where
he lived as a "battle scared general"
"The general" continued President
King, was justifably indignant, and
expressed himself to the editor Of the
paper in no uncertain language. He
demanded that a correction be made
in the following issue. and to his
great dismay on picking up the paper
on the following day found himself
described as a "bottle Scared gen
eral."
There is no fear" said President
King in conclusion, that any of the
guests here tonight will go home

Money Is c%uriously coiored IN the

Beaumont. and during my recent ex-
perience in the Texas city ] could not
really tell whether I was getting good

pearance of the silver in circulation,

have been IN oil regions before, where
the very air Is filled with gas. knew
just why It was. Shiny dollars are
really very rare now in the Texas
oil belt. The black oxidized dollar Is
the rule. The dimes, quarters and
halves are black. It is marvellous how

He put the dollar in his pocket and
went to work at one Of the m%anholes.
He did not remain there a great
while.
When he returned he pulled out
the dollar and handed it to me for in
spection. It was black enough, and 1t
had not got out Of his pocket until he

his pocket, and when It struck the
silver the necessary chemical proc

Within fifty years from the present
time the Great Salt Lake Of Utah-tbe
most remarkable body Of water of Ste
kind I'm the world-wm have ceased to
exist. It win have dried up and It's
place viii be occupied by an unattract-
i've desert, saw perhaps for a few irrl-
gated farms.
Such, at all events, Is the opinion Of
biologists. Prof. w. j. MCGEE Of
Washington remarked In conversation
the other day that half a century was
an outside estimate for the survival Of
the lake. He was inclined to think
that Il would be dried up twenty-five
years from now. Already its waters
show signs OF receding from the shores,
and causes are In operation which less
en- to a great extent the supplies fur
nished to this curious inland sea by
streams.
The lake is about seventy-hve miles
long BY half that IN greatest breadth,
being in shape somewhat irregular, and
Is rather shallow. There may be places
where It has a depth OF as much as 100
feet, but over most Of It's area It Is less
than fifty feet deep. The reason why Il
is so salty Is simply that it has no out
let save through evaporation, n the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now be
ginning to be utilized on n 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

served and poured out W the fields
In the dry time. Operations Of this
kind, conducted so extensively, must

From time to time the effect Of a

With regard to the efficiency Of the
work done at quarantine in prevent
ing spread Of disease, there can be
little doubt although it Is entirely
possible for a case of contagion to slip
by in spite Of the vigilance of the in
spectOr. The value of the work is as
much in its moral effect on ship cap
tains and owners as in the immediate
acts Of inspection. The captain who
is allowed to proceed with only a
casual looking over knows very we'll
that If he deceiyes the doctors on the
present trip it will very probably be
discovered later on, and then his lot
will become a hard one. AS a result
the ships officers themselves are apt
to come up to the scratch If they
have any illness on board. The three
doctors take turn in boarding" as it
Is called, and there is seldom any seri-
GUS attempt made to elude their Wig
lance. And the quarantine station is
itself evidence that the state has be-
gun to realize, in seeking freedom
from disease, that eternal vigilance is
