GREAT SALT LAKE DOOMED
Indications Are that Within a Genera
ton or SO It Will Dry Up.
Chicago Record-Herald.

That the Great Salt Lake is certain
in the near future to disappear from
the map has long been the belief OF
scientists. That its disappearance will
come much sooner than has been ex-
pected, and possibly within quarter
of a century, is the conclusion that mas
been reached by certain investigators
who have recently made careful studies
of it's fluctuations. Z
In an article in a recent number CT
the Scientific American an account Is
given of some of these Investigations.
One calculation is made from an ex-
animation of the surface level OF the.
lake, which for thirty years has been
steadily lowering, with only single
period of rising tendency. In the last
sixteen wears the net fall has been
eleven and a half feet, and in the last
three years it has been three feet. In
asmuch as the rate Of fall is increas-
lake has only forty feet of water, this
form of calculation indicates that the
lake will be dry within forty years at
the outside.
Another calculation is based on the
cubic contents Of the lake at the pres
ent time, as compared with the contents
in 1886, when adequate measurements
on which to base an estimate were
made. By this method the disappear
within twenty five years.
Three theories have been suggested
to account fer this tendency. One Is
evaporation, another irrigation, and the
| third that there exists a subterranean
outlet. The last mentioned theory IS
| little better than a guess, but the hrst
| theory is un9uestionably true to GER
| tain extent, tho whether it will account
for the rapidity with which the level
| has been lowered in recent years is
doubtful. AS for irrigation more evil
dence can be produced to show its eff
fects in decreasing the lakes water
supply. Irrigation was commenced by
Brigham Young in the forties, but it
| was not till 1880 that it was adopted
on a large scale and it is within the
period. since then that the lowering OF
| the level has been most swift.
There are indications on the noun
tain sides and also on tho nine noun
famous islands in the lake, that the
| depth of the water was once 600 feet
greater than at present. We are there
fore witnessing now the speedy compile
ton Of a physical change that has been
! in progress for many centuries. Most
great physical transformations of the
surface Of the globe move so slowly
that they will give evidence Of them
selves on the map only after many gen.
erations. This one bids fair to make a
material difference in the biographies
which our children children will
study.

FROM the christian Advocate.
An attempt was recently made to have
Mrs Newman, the widow of Bishop John
P. Newman, legally declared to be incompe-
tent to manage her property. This proceed
ing was instituted by the superintendent of
the poor in the county where she has her
legal residence, and as yet it seems impos-
sible to ascertain who is at the bottom
of it.
The petitioner attached to the petition the
statement that no relative or other per
son has applied for the appointment of a
committee of the person or property of said
Angelina L. Newman, and no committee has
ever been appointed of the person or estate

To the petition was annexed one of the
most inadequate, care,essy drawn affidavits
and the most inconsequential in effect
signed by physician, that we have seen;
though 1t frequently falls TO our lot to ex-

As we have known Mrs. Newman for
many years, meet her frequently and have
conyersed with her by the hour upon her
affairs, and know that she is entirely com
petent to conduct her business, we attend
ed the court in Saratoga, ready to testify
But the judge dismissed the petition be-
cause the petition was based upon informa-
ton and belief. without stating the sources
of the information nor the grounds of the
belief.

Saratoga, the case was placed in the hands
of George S. Crawford, also OF this
