Conductor Got Ten Cents Reward.

A conductor on one OF the local troll
ley lines had an experience recently
which has caused a doubt in his mind
as to whether or not II pays to be hon
est. Several days ago a well-dresse1
man got on his car and in some man.
ner his wallet worked out OF his pocket
on the seat. After the passenger left
the car the conductor found the wallet,
which contained in the neighbonhOod
OF $50.
On the return trip the owner Of the
pocketbook boarded the car at the
same street where he had previously
gotten Off. He was greatly excited and
asked the conductor II he had found a
wallet. When the collector Of fares
handed him his lost property the man
was profuse IN his thanks and putting
his hand in his pocket pulled out a
dime which ne handed to the trolley
man and told him TO buy . couple OF
cigars.
Now what do you think Of that as
a reward for finding $50" said the con-
ductor. in telling OF his experience to
friend.

 That the rising Salton sea will suck down the main line of the South eru Pacific at Salton is now believed to be inevitable by officials of that company. But the rising waters$of the sink will be checllmated in good time for the track which the company is nov rushing through on higher ground from Salton ten miles to Mortmere will be connected and ready for ser vice next Tuesday. Barring a sudden high wind between now and that time.
 which would toss the waters of tho lake up over the tracks which they are now tapping in the calm, there will be no interruption of traffic.
 "In spite of all the efforts made 70 check it, the water is still pouring from the Colorado river through the intake of the California Development company's canal in a huge volume and the level of the inland sea continues steadily to rise.
 General Superintendent Ingram. who returned from Salton yesterday, says: We shall doubtless set the shoo-hy track completed in good time. II will reach ground six or eight feet i higher than the present track and therefore well out of reach of the ris- | ing water. Et will make our line about l 5000 feet longer. and from present ap- , pearances is likely to serve more tnai Ia temporary end.
 We held off building this trat k
 just as long as there was any hope of saving the main line. Finally we
 saw that there was nothing left us ! but an ultimate abandonment of the present line, temporarily at least E Then We pushed things as rapidly as ! possible with the new track along the E higher ground nearer the bluffs. It looks as though the water would soon cover the old line The engineers
 have met with many difficulties iT

 track will enable us to put the olC

titles of material on hand so that ev- erything is being rushed as fast as possible In the matter of travel 1t was never so pleasant in those parts, especially in the summertime, except for the delay When there is no wind it is quite humid but the water keeps the temperature much lower than tIe usual temperature of those parts and when a breeze is blowing 1t is almost like the seashOre. There is no dust for miles and miles in the place where heretofore the dust has been almost unbearable, in connection with the heat. Those who arrived here yesterday say they went to sleep in the Pullman on
 Saturday night while crossing the des- ert and slept as sOundly and as com .forta5ly as they could anywhere. Nor
 is there any personal danger to trav- elers. The water on the upper side of the track is not over a half mile wide anywhere and probably not over foot deep except in the little ar royas that run down from the hills.
 The trains run very slowly and if the
 track were at any time to sink beneath
 them the only thing that could possi-
 bly happen to q passenger might be lthe inconvenience of having to wade
 out. But nothing of the kind has oc- cured and probably will not for the situation is very closely watched by men who fully understand it. The railroad worry is the added expense to date and the necessity of building the shoo- fly. together with the possibility of serious injury to the Imperial coun- try in which the railroad is now largely interested.

The salt In the Sea.

The Pythagoreans held that the sea
was salt by reason of the tears shed by
Kronos, father of zeus. According to
the old Hebraic tradition, the ocean
was originally great body OF fresh
water, but which was made salt by the
abundant tears of the fallen angels.

MALAY PR0AS.
The Way These Peculiar Boats Are
Built and Fitted Out.

Great fleets of Malay vessels go into
the sea south Of Borneo each year to
fish for trepang. or sea siugs, which
are esteemed a great delicany in Chi
ma and other Asiatic countries. a
British government official writes:
The proas are peculiar looking con-
Germs and present most clumsy ap-
pearanee. The hull is of wood, and the
top, sides, deck. roof and yards are
made of bamboo, the sails of mating
and many of the ropes and hawsers of
plated cane. They are steered by
two rudders, one ON either side of the
stern. Some of them carry ison an
chors, others wooden ones, with heavy
stones dashed to them Often when
the anchor is let go a man is sent down
to see that it is properly fixed in good
holding ground. The mast is a peeuI-
lar concern, being formed of wood or
bamboo, having two stays, so that in
appearance it resembles d lengthy tri-
dent, the spaces between the masts
and stays being fitted with wooden
steps, on which the sailors stand to
hoist and roll up the sail, which I'M
rolls again by a simple continuance
like window blind.
ssNhen you go ON board q proa you
so over the bow, that being close to
the waters edge, the stern being away
up in the air. You then climb a beam
and step across an opening to the
deck in front of the captains cabin,
which is situated on one side of the
bow, a similar one being on the oppo-
site side for the second in command.
The deck is Of split bamboo, worked
together with wire or fiber. and can be
rolled up at pleasure. The entrance
to the cabins is about feet by 2 feet
inches. OF course to enter or. leave
you must go on your hands and knees,
Inside there is room for man to sit
or lie down in The stern. which is
high up, has several small rooms. or
holes. like a great pigeon house, and
in these and on top of the cargo the
crew lives. the galley being a large
iron pan with a quantity of sand in it
to light the fire on.
YProas have a sort of bowsprit rig
ged out and sometimes carry two OF
three headsails On top of the houses
they carry plenty of spare bamboos
and rattans, which they get at the is
land Of Kissa, near Timor, on the way
down.
