acres. to part of which Uncle Sam is

its well irrigated area and its agricul-
tural population.
Nevada's ancient inland sea Is
known as Lake La HOntan; it was
one Of several great prehistoric lakes
distributed over the Great Basin Of
the arid region. among them Lake
Bonneville, OF which the Great Salt
Lake was the deepest portion. Its area
was nine times greater than the Great
Salt or almost as large as Lake Mich
igan, and much deeper.
The contracted remains Of Lake La
Hontan in Nevada are found in Pyra-
mid Lake and number of other small
enclosed lakes which were the deepest
portions Of the ancient lake. Since
these large prehistoric lakes were
land locked and. did not overflow, it
follows that the rainfall which fed
them was much heavier than it is
to-day.
nrt or
the important points situated in the
Great Basin would be hopelessly
flooded. such, for instance. as the Nor
mon Temple. which would stand in fif
ty feet of water. while 100 miles of
railroad would be submerged.
These prehistoric lakes are said to
be Of very recent origin-that is. recent
by the geologlsts count-perhaps 30
600 or 10000 years old. Fossils have
been found showing the presence Of
primitive man along their ancient
shores and entertainments. which in
many instances are as perfect In CON
tour and as distinct as if the waters
had receded only few years since
These lakes included such arid and
fearinsplring localities Of to-day as

places where the blcached bones Of

When ReODle May Marry

In France the minimum age for the
man to marry Is IS; for the woman,
16. In Spain the man must be in his
fifteenth year. and the fair maid must
have turned" -. Practically the
same law obtains in Switzerland. In
Austria both man and woman
are of age to marry when they have
attained IA summers. In Turkey there
are two preliminary conditions strn.
gently required in the case of mar
riage; both parties must be able to
walk properly and both must be able
to understand the necessary religious
service.
