GREAT SALT LAKE.
eAls Remarkable Body OF WAeeS
VIII Vanish Within Fifty Years.

eAls Remarkable Body OF water
Will Vanish Within 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 its
place will be occupied by an unat-
tractive desert. save perhaps for few
Irrigated farms.
Such, at all events, Is the opinion Of
biologists. Professor w. j. MCGEE OF
Washington remarked in conversation
the other day that half century was
an outside estimate for the survival OF
the lake. He was inclined to think
that it would be dried up twenty .hve
years from now. Already Its waters
show signs Of receding from the
shores, and causes are In operation
which lessen to great extent the sup
plies furnished to this curious inland
sea by streams.
The lake is about seventy-fve 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 hundred feet, but over
most of it's area 1t Is less than ifty
feet deep. The reason why 1t is so
salt is simply that it has no outlet
save through evaporation. and the
streams during ages past have been
carrying salt into it.
The contributing streams are now
beginning to be utilized on a large
scale for irrigating purposes, and thus
the customary water supply is being
withheld to some extent from the lake
Before long immense reservoirs Will
be constructed 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.
When the lake is gone. much of the
land thus made dry will be unavaila
BILE for agriculture owing to its CON
tanning so large a percentage of salts
Of various kinds deposited from the
water in the course Of many centuries
But 1t may be supposed that certain
areas where the lake was comparative
ly shallow will be suitable for farm
ing. Thus there will be some direct
gain.-Saturday Evening Post.

In Germany it is not permissible to
adulterate coffee. A wholesale grocer
was recently tried in Hamburg, the
charge against him being that he had
adulterated a large quantity Of Brazil
ian coffee, with the object Of selling it
as Porto Rico coffee. His counsel ad-
mitted that he had changed the orig
inal color of the coffee, but pointed out
that he had made the change before
the coffee was roasted, and as the ex-
perts who had been summoned ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t was per-
fectly lawful to adulterate beans,
though entirely unlawful to adultefate
roasted coffee, the court promptly or
dered a verdict Of not guilty.
In this case the adulteration consist
ed in making the beans OF greenish
blue color and In pressing Ane hour
between the clefts. The rosy hue
