The bite of the Sen Lion.

The bite of the sea lion is poisonous;
besides, it is an ugly wound from the
manner in which it is inflicted. AL
though the creature moves painfully
and slowly on land, the motion of its
head and neck is extremely quick. The
neck seems to have an almost elastic
quality. One is surprised at its reach.
The sea lion is like bulldog. When
he has caught hold, he does not let go
at once, but sets his teeth firmly in the
flesh. Then he twists his head, the
teeth being still embedded in the flesh,
and, without relinquishing his grip, he
gives quick jerk. The result is to
pull out ragged piece of flesh if the
animal has taken deep hold.-Leslie's
Weekly.

A VAST SALT FIELD.
How the Product Is Obtained IN the
Middle of the CnIorndo nexerf

How the Product Is Obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert.
In the middle of the Colorado desert,
little to the north of the Mexican
border and 2G4 feet below the level of
the sea, lies field of crystallized salt
more than a thousand acres in extent,
presenting surface as white as snow
and beneath the MONDAY glare of the
sun SO dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand it's radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo, an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturring the great de-
posit with massive plows and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plows used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled imple-
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work it 10 and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill.
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
| constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the plow has hardly
| passed on before q new crust has
formed in the furrow left. This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than small portion of the vast de-
| post.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly by
Japanese and by Coahuila Indians. OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted 10 the work, the Japanese per-
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
cles of salt, gives rise to a painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from single well. 1t is

The moonlight, too, produces Won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt. For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces Il glare like that from fur
mace. The deposits vary in thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
a solid crust over the great marsh. It
is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-New York Trib-
