There are too many grade crossings already in
New-Jersey. as in New-York and in o .her States

company to be permitted to cross the fine Hud-

OPINION
Great SAIL Lake Drying Up.

FROM the Scientific American
snGstics Indicate that Great salt Lake
the Dead Sea Of America, is doomed--that
IL is gradually drying up. The opinion now
almost universally prevails among soien-
lists that this mysterious body Of water
located at an altitude Of 4,2l0 feet above
sea level and 900 miles inland, and which
has but single rival. the Dead Sea Of
Palestine. Is certain within the course of a
half century to disappear from the map
Some scientists. who have made careful
study OF bhc fluctuations of the lake for
the past several years even declare that it
will be dried up within a quarter OF a cen
tury.
Various statistics Of climatic conditions.
including precipitation records. are tom-
plete for J-nh back to 1858 with scatter
ing accounts for many preceding years.

although tho Noblem Is far from being a
simple one. to arrive at these ana other
conclusions conclusions 30 wcd founded

Tho lake Is subject to annual nuctua-
tlons which up to the first of July OF

wet cycles the Level may rise several feet.
but Ike the annual rises, it always fails
to reach the mark set by the preceding
one. In drawing conclusions these facts
must necessarily be taken into considera-
ton

JUDGE GRAY.
VATE THINK is is only meet 10 say
" that the Delaware delegation

VATE THINK is is only meet 10 say
" that the Delaware delegation
at ST. Louis has had the dis
tinguished honor Of presenting to the
convention the name Of the most emil
nent member Of the Democratic party.
We say this with some pride because
he halls from Delaware. and because
a truly great Democrat, like a great
Republican, is patriot before he is
partisan.
We also think that Delawareans can
take pride I'm the manner IN which his
name was presented. A careful reading
OF Mr.. Handy's speech must convince
even his political opponents that his
address. both in substance and in ex-
preston ranked with the best efforts
the convention has called forth.
But Judge Gray is not the nominee.
in fact. on the surface he appears TO
have had no more chance than any
one Of a dozen Democrats whose names
were casually mentioned. But prob
ably there was no name which among
an the delegates is more highly regard
ed and none whose selection would have
given more general satisfaction. Had
an efort been made early in the cam
paign TO crystanize the sentiment in
his favor and had he allowed his
