How a Miser selected an Heir.

AS like affects like. so it is with mi
sers, and gold will go where gold Is.
This Is strikingly illustrated by the act
Of a celebrated Greek, one Dichnus
DichRms. a descendant of the Byzan-
tine emperors. This man. by the exer-
else of extreme niggardliness. managed
to amass the sum of $4,000. an Inn
mense fortune in those days. Then
came the question to whom should he
leave it. One day a distant relative
sent him n letter written upon a square
inch of paper. This was sufficient. In
the fitness of things the parsimonlous
correspondent became the miser's heir.

70 Wonder

San Pedro train No. /, w~estbound,
was approaching Lund. Suddenly the
engineer threw on the emergency air
and the train was stopped with an
abruptness that startled everybody on
board. The brakeman tumbled out and
ran ahead to learn the trouble but
could see no obstruction on the track.
What is the matter? inquired one
as he clamored into the cab.
The engineer answered never a word,
but with set jaws n a desperate
glare in his eye threw the lever back
and started the train pack towards
Milford. The brakeman watched in
wonder as he continued backing up,
while the engineer never removed his
gaze from the ground beneath the car
window,
There they are he exclaimed as he
stopped the train, and the fireman

LYNCHIN6s AND HAN6IN6s IN UNITED STATES

1t is gratifying TO know that there
were 10 @ore legal executions than
lvnchings in the United States last
year, the more so because we ere led
to expect so few of the former, says
the Macon Telegraph. For years past
there has been little more than 100 le-

from murderous violence have been
numbered by the seven to ten thou
sands. The Chicago Tribune's statis-
tics of legal and illegal executions are
stated as follows:
The lYnchings reported for 1902
showed gratifying decrease of 90 as
compared with those of 1901, but the

SALT LAKE EVAPORATION.
Artificial Means Necessary t.
Preserve Natural Wonder.

An interesting question has been TAX
en- up of late by the photographic bu-
reau of the United States geological
survey in connection with the appar-
ent drying up of Salt lake in Utah,
says ii Washington dispatch. The lev
Ell of the lake is gradually falling be-
cause of the evaporation and the dimin-
lshing supply OF drainage water, due
either to Il change of climate or the de-
nudation Of the mountains by the lum-
bering industry.
The level of the water in the lake
has fallen six feet in the last decade,
and the rate of fall seems to be grad
ually increasing. The building by the
Southern Pacific of the Lucin cutoff
has suggested that the area of the lake
might be reduced and the smaller body
Of water preserved at its former level
for The next half century at least. That
the lake can be saved from ultimate
evaporation to a very small body of
water seems TO be impossible unless
some artificial means is resorted to.
The Lucin cutoff would return to
desert one-third the area of the lake,
or about 1000 square miles. This part
of the lake receives no important
streams, and no question of injury to
climate or to private interests would
stand in the way of putting the plan
into execution. If the water in the
further one-third of the lake is turned
into the part of the lake south and east
of the cutoff the added volume of wa
ter would raise the level of the smaller
lake about five feet. This would assure
the people of the region of the beneti-
ciaI influence Of the lake on the climate
and continue its enjoyment as wa
tering place. The receding of the wa
ter has Of late made it necessary to
move large buildings used by visitors
half mile into the edge of the lake.
The Lucin cutoff is practically dam
as now constructed. The cost Of COM
pleting it for the purpose of draining
the north end OF the lake would not be
great.
