in the output of South African gold.
In May, 1901, 7479 ounces were pro-

The Great Salt Lake

Professor W. j. McGee. of the Gov
ernment Geological Survey, declares
that the Great Salt Lake OF Utah is
vanishing. and that this most remark
able body of water will he completely
dried up in fifty years. if not sooner.
Already it's waters show signs of reced-
inc, and it may not be more than tWcn-
ty-fye years before irrigated farms
will be cultivated on what is now the
bottom of this inland sea, whose
waters are so salt that body cannot
sink in them. The lake is about seve H.
ty-1iye miles long. and half that at ITS
greatest width, and is rather shallow,
being in most places not over fifty
feet deep. although Il depth of possibly
100 feet may obtain in certain places.
The reason why it is so salt science
saws is simply because ii has no outlet
save through evaporation, and the
streams during past ages have been
CARRYING salt into it. These contribute
ing streams are now being utilized fol
irricating the land around the lake

Cultiyatin- the SunilOWer.

Within the past three to four years
the cultivation of the sunilower plant
for the manufacture of oilcalle has
been extensively adopted by the peas
antry and farmers of NoNorossisk. Ihe
industry. which it would appear is very
remunerative, is rapidly increasing in
proportions. and promises to still fur
,ther develop before long. 1t is claimed
that the sale of the oilcake produced
in itself more than covers all the work
ing expenditure of the mills. The
stalks of the suntlower plant are used
as fuel for driving the machinery, and
the ash that remains gives from TWEEN
ty-five to thirty per cent. Of potash.

soL,p PETROLEUM.


Concern In Erance.
The report that concern In France
ia engaged in the manufacture OF solid
petroleum, that is. petroleum soliditied
40 that II may be handled like coke
or coal, and that it is soon to place
its product upon the market. should
be of interest to users Of coal or petro-
leum in any of its forms as fuel. 1t
is said that the new article weighs
only one half as much as coal and that
it gives out twice as much heat.
In describing this product United
States Consul Brunot at st. Etienne
says that it is manufactured in the
form Of briquettes, which are COM
posed chiefly of petroleum., either
crude or refined, and possesses all the
desira bic qualities Of coal and ordinary
petroleum without any of the objec-
tionable characteristics of either.
In addition to their ligltness they

melt or run: burn without smell or
smoke: do not absorb moisture; VIII

ton under any circumstances; VIII
keep indefinitely, retaining all their
qualities of combustion; give on
very white fame eight to ten inches
high: produce twice as much heat as
coal; can be used in any kind OF
furnace. and are easy and agreeable
to handle
It is believed. continues Consul Bru-
not, that this new form OF fuel will
be found particularly valuable for tor
pedo boats and. in cases of emergency.
for larger vessels. The briquettes oc-
cupy only one-half the space necessary
| for coal. and it is calculated that q
boat which requires 1000 tons Of coal
! 10 steam q given number of miles can
cover the same distance with only
1000 tons of petroleum briquettes.
Again, the saving in space which
would be made possible by the use OF
this condensed fuel would enable Il
ship to carry much larger cargo
| Moreover. it is said that boat using
briquettes can get up steam in from
one-uuarter to one-thrd the time or
dinarily required when coal is EN-
ployed; and. further. that no smoke
attends the combustion.
The principal object of expense il

to be the oil The other ingredient

labor and machinery cost comparative
