TELEPHONE HABITS.
Differences OF business Customs In
Various Communities.

Various Communities.
In the Offices OF the great telephone
companies statistics are kept from
which charts are plotted showing how
the telephone is used i'm the different
exchanges at different hours OF the
Hay. The convenient talking inStru-
ment is very little employed in early
morning or late in the evening, but
during the working day the rise and
fall OF the curves that represent the
fluctuations in the number Of calls
makes an entertaining study.
Among many other facts these plot
TED curves reveal the great differences
that exist in the business customs OF
American cities. \ comparison, for
example. Of the charts Of the Broad

Such differences as exist between
New York and Chicago appear I'm the
curves Of other cities. In general IL
may be said that the tendency In the

SALT LAKE WATER.
Eject OF It's Wonderful BuOyancy on
bodies and Boats

The buoyancy Of the water OF the
Great Salt lake is such that II is al
most impossible for person TO remain
upright In il. his body being lifted as a
strip OF wood thrown into the water Mt
vertical or oblique direction like
dart Is returned TO the surface In a
horizontal position. In fact. II Is be-
lieved that the Great Salt lake will
support more weight 10 n given volume
OF water than even the Dead sea. 1t
Is very popular resort with bathers
FOR the reason that IL is impossible for
n person 10 drown unless be should
deliberately place his head under the
surface or tie weight 10 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 ef-
fort OF the arms or legs. The large
quantity Of salt In solution is the prin-
cipal reason for the buoyancy. While
the buoyancy or the water is so great
that IL Will support a person without
aid. the boats which are designed to
be used upon the lake must be con-
structed especially 10 counternct this
feature. The ordinary wooden vessel

navigated with safety upon Il. since
such a small portion OF Il would be

navigation is very dangerous on the

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 II is liable TO cause strangula-
tlon. Several deaths from this cause
have ensued among persons who have
ventured into the lake.-Chambers'
