Extraordinary Lakes,

On the Mangishlak peninsula on the
Caspian sea there are five small lakes,
One of these is covered with salt crys-
tails. strong enough to allow a man and
horse to cross the lake on foot. An
other is as round as any circle and of
a lovely rose color. Its banks of sal,
crystals form setting as white as
snow to the water. which not only
SHOWS all the colors from violet TO rosy
red. but from IT also rises a perfume
as of violets. Both the perfume and
the color are the result of the presence
of seaweeds.--I. Ondon Tit-Bits.

Mr.. Guy f. Mitchell tells of strange
use for milk. He and others have used
it for painting barns and outbuildings.
Into a gallon of milk are stirred three
pounds of Portland cement and enough
pigment to give the proper color. This
mixture, spread on the wood. makes
a coating that after six hours becomes
as good and lasting as oil paint. 1t

The investiga tons Of the geological
survey brought to light facts about the
great quantity of underground water
contained in the crust of the globe
which are calculated to astonish the
ordinary reader. Below depth Of
about six miles it is believed that no
water can exist in the rocks, because
the tremendous pressure probably
closes all the pores; but above that
level the amount of underground water
is estimated to be equal in quantity
to Onethird of all the water contained
in all the oceans. If poured over the
land surface of the globe. the under
ground water would he sufficient to
cover it to uniform depth of from
5000 to $500 feet.

A curious instance of the care
and minuteness with which the hui.
man body is now studied in the
effort better to understand its pow.
ers and functions. is furnished by
a paper read recently at a meeting Of
the Royal Society in London on the
"Rapidty of the. Nervous Impulse in
Tall and Short Individuals" Even
the difference in time required for a
nerve telegram to traverse the bod
les of different people is regarded as
matter of scientific Importance. A
series of observations has shown that
the length Of the nerves does not affect
the velocity with which an impulse
passes between the brain and the ex.
tremlties, and consequently that more
time is needed If the path is long than
If it is short. 1t follows that short
man should feel step on his corns
quicker than q tall man. hut the diff
ference is so slight that the offender
has no better chance OF escape in one
case than in the other.

The nitrate deposits of Chile are the
largest known. and one of the greatest
sources of that cOuntry's prosperity.
Their exhaustion would mean disaster
to Chile and great loss to the world.
Blu it has been lately suggested that
Africa might compete with Chile, II
not take the place of that country, in
this industry. Experts are said to be
convinced that nitrate deposits even
more extensive than those of South
America exist all over the western
part Of the Saraha. 1t would cost
more to get the product to the coast
than it costs In Chile, but Mr.. Gau.
thier AYERS that this extra expense OF
transportation would only counter.
ba lance the high export duty imposed
on Chilean nitrates.
