SALT LAKE WATER.
Effect of It's Wonderful BuOyancy on
Bodies and Boats.

Eject of It's Wonderful BuOyancy on
Bodies and Boats.
The buoyancy of the water OF the
Great Salt lake is such that it is al
most impossible for person to remain
upright in it. his body being lifted as a
strip of wood thrown into the water at
a vertical or Obique direction like
dart is returned to the surface in a
horizontal position. In fact, it is be-
lieved that the Great Salt lake will
support more weight to a given volume
of water than even the Dead sea. 1t
is a very popular resort. with bathers
for the reason that it is impossible for
a person to drown unless he should
deliberately place his head under the
surface or tie a weight to his feet. The
bather can float upon the water, lying
on his back or chest, and keep his'head
entirely above the surface with no eff
fort of the arms or legs. The large
quantity of salt in solution is the prin-
cipal reason for the buoyancy. While
the buoyancy of the water is so great
that it will support a person without
aid, the boats which are designed to
be used upon the lake must be con-
structed especially to cOunteract this
feature. The ordinary wooden vessel
when empty is actually too light to be
navigated with safety upon it, since
such a small portion of it would be
immersed. Therefore care has to be
taken, in building sailboats especially,
lest they be top heavy. For this reason
navigation is very dangerous on the
lake when the wind is blowing even
moderately unless the vessel is loaded
so that it sits deep enough in the wa
ter to counteract the buoyant tendency
The quantity of salt held in solution
is so great that it is dangerous for one
to swallow even a mouthful OF the
water. as it is liable to cause strangula
ton. Several deaths from this cause
have ensued among persons who have
ventured into the lake.-Chambers
Journal.

1ives Spoiled by "A FruitIess Longing
For other Fields.
Everywhere we find people who are
dissatisfied with their lot, who think
they would be happy if they could only
get somewhere else. into some other
occupation. They see only the thorns
in their own vocations, the roses in
those of others. The shopgirl would
be an actress; the cook would change
places with her mistress, the butler
with his master. The lawyer would be
a doctor, the doctor a lawyer. The
farmer bemoans his hard lot and longs
to exchange his life of drudgery for
the career of the merchant or the man
ufacturer The country boy leans on
his plow handle and looks toward the
city with hungry eyes. If he could
only be free from the slavery Of the
farm, he thinks, wear good clothes, get
hold of q yardstick and stand behind
counter! Happiness. opportunity, for
tune-everything. lies yOnder; around
him misery, toll, poverty-nothing de-
sirable. A city youth behind counter
or sitting on high Office stool rails at
fate for confining him to the limits of
brick walls and the dreary details of
merchandise. buying and selling. or of
figuring up accounts. oh. if he could
only go to sea and travel to distant
countries. become a captain in the ma
Wy or skipper or owner of a merchant
vessel. Life would be worth something
then. But now
How much energy has been lost, how
many lives have been spoiled by this
fruitless longing for other fields, other
opportunities out of reach. What is the
use of signing or dreaming of what
you would do if you were in somebody
else's place? What is the use of trying
to reach into your nelghbOr's pasture
when you do not know what bitterness
may lie at the root of it. hidden from
your sight. when you have never tried
to develop or to call out the sweetness
and juiciness which thrive in your
own?-O. S. Marden in Success.

Very Old Trees.

An old yew tree stands in the church
yard at Fortingal. in Perthshire, which
De Candolle nearly a century ago
proved to the satisfaction of botanists
to be twenty-five centuries old, and an
other is still standing at Hedsor, in Bu-
cias. which is 3,240 years old. How De
CandOlle arrived at an apparently cor
rect estimate of the enormous age of
these living trees is a simple thing, and
the principle is doubtless well known
today to all. The yew, like most other
trees, adds one line, about the tenth of
an inch. to it's circumference each year
But the oldest living thing in the world
today as far as known is a cypress tree
in Chapultepec, Mexico, that is 6,26C
years old.

The man of science was found in his
laboratory, hard at work at expert

discovery of a means of destroying
trichinae, which were making great
ravages in Germany.
"Ah," said the doctor, "a challenge
