A STRANGE BALLROOM.
Merry Dancers in a Salt Mine Three
Hundred Feet Deep.

The strangest ballroom yet discov-
cred is that which in the name of char
ity was opened, for one day only,
few weeks ago.
1t was the floor of a salt mine-one
of the finest rock salt mines on earth
situated at Northwich. in the very
heart of the Cheshire salt fields. The
novelty of dancing in a salt mine APP
pealed to great crowds, and people
came from all parts of the country
eager to participate in so unique an en-
tertainment.
Down 300 feet into the very bowels
of the earth plunges the shaft, and the
only means of entrance is per bucket
express. This bucket, attached to
wire rope, is guaranteed to take three
ssengers-sometimes four, if they are
not overburdened with adipose-on
each journey, and the trip occupies one
mine.
1t is a wonderful sight, this salt
NINE Normally it is plunged in deep
est gloom, but on this occasion it's dark
recesses We're illumined by thousands
of candles formed into notices of fam
ing welcome, diamond pointed stars,
circles of light and other devices. 1t is
fifteen years since the public had the
opportunity of seeing the salt mine
under such conditions.
He who has been content to explore
coal mine or a Derbyshire cave can
form little idea of the marvellous spa
ciousness ofthe Baron Quay's rock salt
mine at Northwich. Fifty acres in
extent, it has been worked for fifty
six years, and hundreds of thousands
of tons of rock salt have been ex-
tracted. There are no narrow passages
here. You can walk under a roof thir-
ty feet above your head; one of the
streets is 100 yards long and so feet
wide with a floor of salt-nothing but
salt-in which. if you examine closely,
the rock dust sprinkles and scintillates
like diamonds.
No fear of the roof falling in and
burying you, for it is supported at dis
tances of seventy-five feet by giant pill
lars of rock salt. each numbered for
reference and each thirty feet square.
How cool the air is! 1t is a revelation.
and you are the more astonished when
your guide informs you that here is
neither gas nor fumes; that, though
working in salt. the men never thirst;
and that the temperature is never be-
low so degrees in the bitterest day in
winter, and never above 50 degrees in
the most broiling day of summer.

there exactly the like of this. First

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-03-04

owing to the equability of the temper
ature, the coats of horses never grow,
and never require to be clipped.
Suddenly the mine resOunds with a
deafening noise, and you are informed
that the men are blasting. Picking your
way over the somewhat uneven sur
face, stopping now and again to note
the dull flash Of a piece of amber salt
rock or a square of crystal salt imbe1-
ded in a streak of mari. you soon reach
the desired haven. Men, barred to the
waist, ares welding picks and breaking
down the saline walls; others armed
with long steel rods probe deeply into
the rock, their borings being filled with
pow der, and four or five tons are blown
out at blast. At times the hydraulic
saw grinds it's way with unerring pre-
cision through a ledge and enables the
rock getters to hew out more of natures
wealth.
Millions of years have gone to form
this vast deposit of salt, which at this
depth represents a solid seam of salt
forty feet in thickness. The workings
Of the mine pass underneath the River
Weaver, but 200 feet below it's bed, and
1t is certainly curious. as you wander
about to be told that Immediately
above you. for instance, the postmen
are sorting your letters, or that if you
could ascend in a straight line you
would enter the inner chamber of the
local salt chamber of commerce.
And yet nature has been so generous
that rock salt is quarried and blasted,
sent up in the buckets to the surface
and delivered in Belgium at shillings
a ton.
By the world at large a salt mine is
almost invariably confounded with the
domestic salt of commerce. This is a
natural but at the same time a great
mistake. The white crystals which
form so important a part of the daily
life are made from brine. At a depth
much nearer the surface than that we
have been exploring is found a thinner
layer of rock salt known as the top
bed. Over this springs of water pass,
and naturally become impregnated with
the salt until they are fully saturated.
This is brine. 1t is pumped to the sur
face, turned into open pans-just as the
Romans did, for in this department of
life invention has been unable to i'm
prove things-and boiled AS the wa
ter is driven away in steam, the salt
falls in flakes to the bottom, is raked
out, made into Jumps or placed into
bags and sent out to fill the worlds

A POLICE CAPTAINS DIARY.
A Humorous Report of n Supposed
New York officer.

New York Officer.
Commissioner Greene has ordained
that each police captain in Greater
New York shall keep a faithful diary
of all his doings and of each happen
ing in his precinct during twenty-four
hours of each day. The diaries are to
be open for the inspection of Greene,
Jerome or the district inspectors at
any time.
Through the courtesy of Commits
sioner Greene the New York Sunday
World publishes the following as a
single days entries in a very few of
these diaries. They are all the more
interesting as none of the captains
whose daily lives stand thus revealed
had the faintest notion that his hot
journal would fall into other and less
tender hands than those of his police
superiors.
The first diary under inspection pos
sesses still greater claim to attention,
since it's author, misunderstanding
part of the commissioners order, wrote

that the entry would ever be seen.

Secret of wild-anima1 Framing.
From Leslie's Weekly


Suppose" said Mr.. Bostock. that I
am about to train a lion to perform
certain tricks. If 1 went at once into
his cage and attempted to drive him,
l would probably be killed. But 1 don't
do that. Before l try to teach him
anything l let the lion get used to me-
l hang about his cage day after day,
talking to him and keeping in his
sight. He would see me late at night
and early in the morning would
give him his food and water Occa-
sionally l would pat his head, and
gradually the lion comes to have a
friendly feeling toward me. 1 become,
as it were, an acquaintance of his
and from becoming accustomed to me
the lion grows to like me; and / begin
to like the lion, too, just as you would
like any big pet, horse or a big dog
Then l go into the lions cage without
being obtrusive or brusque. The big,
dangerous beast. having gotten used to
seeing me outside, scarcely notices the
difference when 1 am in his private
domain. 1 gradually approach him and
drive him about the cage, cracking
my whip so that he will know that I
mean business. The lion probably be-
lieves that there is much greater pow
er in that whip than there really is If
! hit him with it, l do not hurt him.
There is a knack in cracking a whip
so that it will not give much pain. 1
could swing a whip on you and strike
you with 'crack!' but you would
scarcely feel it,
THE general principle of animal
training is to proceed easily and grad
ually, being gently persistent but not
aggressive, overcoming opposition by
persuasion rather than by direct op-
position and force. 1t is the same
course as that which applies to men.
You first become acquainted with the
man from whom you wish to obtain a
favor. Then, as a feeling of friendship
grows between you, he is at last glad
to do as you wish"

TO THE PUBLIC:

Ten years ago l announced to the cit
liens of Savannah that l had discover
ed positive cure for rheumatism and
to prove my assertion 1 distributed
nearly 10000 walls in the city of Savan-
nah. The name of each person who ac-
cepted a vial of this cure was taken
and each person was invited to report
through the medium of the newspapers
the result of their experience with this
remedy. 1t win be remembered that
many hundreds of testimonials were
published from people, who declared
most emphatically that this remedy
had positively cured them. Many testi-
fled that three or four doses of these
little sugar pellets relieved them en-
tirely of all pain. Aff1davits were TAX
en-, showing that one or two bottles
had cured old chronic cases which had
baftled the skill of leading physicians
of Georgia.
Notwithstanding these unimpedcha-
BILE facts there are thousands of people
in Savannah to-day suffering with
rheumatism, sciatica and lumbago.
They have tried so many remedies
without beneft that they have little
faith in anything that they see adver-
tised.

class of people that have deciIed to
