DOOM OF GREAT SALT LAKE.
Scientist Say 1t Will Dry Up Within
Half a Century.

Scientists Say 1t Will Dry Up Within
Half a Century.
Statistics indicate that Great Salt
Lake, the Dead Sea of America. is
doomed-that 1t Is gradually drying up.
The opinion now almost universally
prevails among scientists that this
mysterious body of water, located at
an altitude of 4,21O feet above the sea
level and 1000 miles inlanl, and
which has but a 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 a careful study of the luc-
tuations of the lake for the past sew
eral years, even declare that it will be
dried up within a quarter of a century.
Sixteen years ago. in 1886, the area
Of the Lakes surface was estimated at
about 2,7OO square miles. Taking
twenty feet as the average depth at
that time, n may estimate 1,5O5,433,-
100000 cubic feet as the contents Of
the lake. To-day, according to recent
surveys, the lake has an area Of about
2.125 square miles. Multiplying this
number by liz, the number Of feet in
depth Of the water that has disap-
peared and not eeen replaced, gives
500, IT'S, 100000 cubic feet as the guam
tty of water less than what the lake
had sixteen years ago
Observers Of the LAKE have assigned
three causes for the s1rinkage OF its
water. They are evaporation, irriga.
ton and q subterranean outlet that
some suppose to exist There are
ardent advocates of each Of those the

About Politeness.

Tie reason that the French people

Many devices have been tiled for
making the task of dish-washing ac-

alton latest offered is a dish-washe~
consisting of a long rubber pipe, one
end of which is to be fastened to a
hot-water faucet, and the other end Of
which terminates in the hollow interior
Of a small brush. Perforations in the
face of the brush allow the water to
flow among the bristles. When the
water is turned on the dishes may be

CHAPTER XII

OAA<A all
Walter stood for a second OF two dumb
with pain and amazement. In the next
moment, however. he remembered that
he had no right to express surprise or
pain, even il he were racked by either.
Helene was free to show her preference
for any man. At the same time it
seemed to him as if Helene's act were
poisoned by a guilty secrecy, and he felt
the sting Of 1t bitterly.
1.-The Colonel is badly hurt" he said
at last, with broken voice. He was shot
through the lung on Sunday. Will you
o go to him? The doctor says that we
have every reason to hope for the best;
but the Colonel Is very weak, and he
asked for you the moment he approach
ed the house."
Helene cast an anxious glance toward
the door Of her room, and an unusual
pallor spread over her face. She hest
tated for a few seconds, and then tripped
out Of the room. As she reached the
landing outside she had to lean against
the wall for support.
Has Jack seen Demon p she asked
herself, staring into the gray vacancy.
What will Jack think OF me? That poor
Demon! Jack will find him, and they
will shoot him or hang him."
At that moment Sues black face
cleaned upon her in the light Of the up-
per landing window, and she beckoned to
the m
Save me, Sue," she whispered, con-
vulsiyely, clutching the negress' arm.
There is a man in my room.''
"A man in your room. chileY' ques-

Yes; get him out Of the house with
u being seen. His life and my honor
depend upon It." Helene gasped while
she muttered the words.
The old servant pressed her mistress
hand, and darted upstairs without a
word. Helene had to grip the banisters
while she ascended the stairs. On the
first floor she drew a long breath, and
said to herself, well if there is no
way out Of 1t I cannot help it, but 1
must try to save him ii it can be DONE"
The wounded man was lying on a little
iron bedstead near the window when
Helene entered the room, and the sum-
mer light ripping through the muslin
curtains shone upon the pale. pain
stretched face. The once clear gray eyes
were dull and nearly CLASSY Suffering
had angularized every line and every
feature, and the barely ~perceptible smile
which cleaned there was the only token
Of recognition.

AT the time when Walter and Adams
were inquiring for him at the &. Charles
Hotel, MIR. Rodbert Berinqus was seat
ed In the first floor room of the Hotel de
Paris. His pale face was Of a papery
white, and a nervous twitch distorted his
mouth from time to time.

quiet voice, Il was very indiscreet this
morning; but You can imagine my sur

ghttered more ferociously-"I will take it

Velvet gowns take to themselves
delicate chantilly laces of correspond

Sealskin is restored to high favor,
particularly in the close-itting direc-
toire coats.
Wells have been done to death and
are not now so much seen in exagger-
ated forms.
Most women look ever so much pref
tier with a soft tucker Of white lace
below the throat.
Buttons cannot be too big and fancy,
even the fur coats fastening with most
ornate jeweled disks.
Baby's clothes must now be en-
broidered with the birth-fower-the
rose, the lily or whatever it is.
Plain rich velvet, ornamented with
lace, is the most attractive expression
of the winter modes yet heralded.
Turbans with entire crowns Of silk
blossoms and brims of fur are a beau
teous anomaly of this riotous year.
Such a smart skating rig is made
of white corduroy, trimmed with sable
and worn with sable toque and muf.

are petiicoats of blue mohair with ac-
contemplated founce in the two

Beauty's Downfall.
A warning note is struck by a lady,
who has both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard OF
those laws which make for beauty.
We Americans are growing palmer,
she AYERS, simply because we allow
even our children to be affected by the
stress and strain of modern life. The
smartness, the ability to look after
themselves and the athleticism Of the
women and children of the present
time spell physical ruin. Beauty is
rarely seen nowadays in its unadorned
style. Lovely women are artificial
products. and really lovely children are
as scarce as auks' eggs. The reason
is that cur expressions have grown
anxious, eager. cold, our limbs and
members are strained out Of shape by
over-exercise and our compilations and
hair are starved for lack OF nerve
force. The exquisite compilations lux

Men viii Marry a Laugh.

Men Will Marry a Laugh.
Girls spend considerable time try
ing to find out how to be popular. 1t
is natural that a girl should seek ap-
prevail and admiration. Her popular
ity means a good time, boxes of candy,
theaters, dances, flowers. everything
that the hearts of the young delight in.
The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that SIM
pers and Fuckers or giggles, but the
girl hat laughs and means it. The
girl that laughs can have candy and
flowers and theaters every day in the
week.
Men flock about her. They adore
her. She laughs herself straight into
the hearts of beaux and admirers and
straight into all the good times that
a girl can dream of.
She laughs, but she is careful when
she laughs. She laughs with her
beaux, u never at them. She laughs
at what they say when they say it,
but never afterward. She laughs at
their jokes, but never about them. She
never laughs at anyone's blunders or
misfortunes.
She laughs when the beaux give her
flowers, she laughs when they give
Ter candy, she laughs when they take
her to the theater. Why shouldn't
she? Her laugh is her fortune. Above
all, the girl who knows how to laugh
knows when to laugh AID laughs
when she should be silent.
She merely goes through life with
her laugh ready and into many dark
corners does she fash its cheer.
Many a heart she makes glad just by
passing. Many a burden she lightens
by the music of her voice.
Women forget to worry when they
hear the cheerful girls laugh. Old
men are warmed at the sound of it.
Young men listen and follow it, pay
court to it, marry it. For it is the
laugh that keeps the heart young, the
laugh that keeps the face bright.
What man wants a wife that can
not laugh? And the boy following
the laugh is locking for a wife. He
may not know it, but he is. And he
will find her when he finds that cheer
full, wholesome, honest, wholesouled,
healthy laugh.-Kansas City World.
Pleasant Meal Times.
Many people must have been struck
by the utter absence of Interesting
conversation that is so marked a fea-
ture of modern meals. In the olden
days all the wit and brightness of the
day seemed to be focused into the
breakfast and dinner hours, and near
ly all the celebrated stories of brilliant
repartee that have come down to us
were delivered during a meal. But
nowadays people talk over their wor-
ries and bothers at the table, look out
trains and read papers during break
fast, and if they have got anything
d~isagreeable to say to another mem
Der of the family, very often choose a
meal time in which to say it.
Somebody once suggested that chill
dren should be trained to be bright
and cheerful during meals, just as
much as they are trained to eat prop
erly, for the n habit, like the other,
would cling to them when they grow
up and make them much sought after
companions.
Worry is very bad for the digestion,
and so is another fashion of seeing
how fast you can get through your
breakfast or lunch; certainly both
things react upon ones neighbours en-
joyment of the hours that should
bring relaxation and good humor.-
