where it attains a strength of seventy
five to eighty degrees. 1t then goes
into reservoirs Nos. 4, 5, g., I and 5,
known as settling ponds, where the
brine voluntarily parts with the lime
which it contains, and becomes almost
a saturated solution at a strength of
ninety degrees. 1t is then conveyed to
the twenty-five salt ponds, where it is
exposed to the fierce heat of the sun,
and in about twenty days the salt is
deposited and the pickle allowed to
run off. Two crops are gathered, one
each in August and October. After
precipitation the salt remains exposed
for a few days, when it is first piled in
heaps and then wheeled in barrows
into great pyramids on the banks. The
pyramids of crude salt remain on the
bank exposed to the weather until it is

Why Single Paddles Reign,

padding the single paddle cannot COM
pare with the double paddle; but you
see 100 single paddles where you do
n double paddle. OF course, some
canoe enthusiasts think that the sin
gle blade is more picturesque, but it
is the men who sell canoes that have
brought the single blade into vogue.
1T became the custom for the dealer
to give away a double paddle with
every n purchased. One dealer
began it, and, of course, all the rest
had to follow. But the double pad
dies are rather expensive. So some
bright dealer conceived the scheme of
putting in a big stock of single pad
dies and giving N with each pur-
chase. This continued the courtesy
Of throwing in something with every

SALT MAKING ON SAN FRANCISCO
BAY,
BY ENOS BROWN.

The vast amount of salt consumed on
the Pacific Coast is derived from the
sea by evaporation in quantity only
limited by the demand. The cost Of
evapOrated salt is but onc-fifth Of the
lowest rate of transportation Oh rock
salt from the nearest source of supply
to the most accessible ocean port.
The locality which enjoys a practical
monopoly of salt making on the Pacific
Coast of the United States is Alvarado,
a town of Alameda County, and twenty
miles from San Francisco. AT this
point, which lies on the east side of the
southern extension of San Francisco
Bay, exist certain psculiarities in die
lay of the land which. united with eli
mate and favorable character of The
soil, combined to make the locality es-
pecially adapted for this particular in
dustry.
Long intervals of cloudless skies, the
low humidity, and high temperature at
favor rapid evaporation. while the soil,
a stiff clay, is we'll adapted for le~2es
and making water-tight reservoirs. for
the most part, to fill with sea water by
gravity alone. Moreover, the southern
section of the bay is contaminated by
no considerable affiuents to dilute with
supplies of fresh water the sadness
which comes in with the tides of ocean.
The largest as we'll as most thor
oughly equipped of the several CORPORA
tions engaged i'll the business is the
Continental Salt Manufacturing Com
pany, which has thirty reservoirs, COW
ering 1000 acres. This company has
constructed from first to last twelve
miles of levees, 5000. feet of fumes and
seven and one-half miles us bitches. A
slough meanders through the tract,
which is navigable for vessels of con-
siderable draft and affords excellent
and economical facilities for shipping.
A large mill, well equipped with the
best machinery for washing, drying,
grinding, sitting and boiling the fin
ished product is a prominent feature
of the works. Twenty Dutch windmills
and two Chinese pumps raise altogeth-
er 100000 gallons of brine each minute.
The entire plant presents to the OBJ
server a miniature Netherlands with
the distant ships ON the bay appearing
as though floating in the air. The
of salt from ocean water
is a constant progression from one res
eryOir to another, transfer being made
as the brine reaches a certain density
to the next. Reservoir No. 1 overs
305 acres and is surrounded by a four
foot levee. Its outward boundary is
upon a slough flowing from the bay.
AS the tide rises, twelve gates are
and allow the sea water to flow
in to a depth of three feet. The gates
are then closed. The average strength

THE FIRST GYPSlES.

Once upon time. or SO the Gypsies
say, there was a great Gypsy chief
whose name was Chen he was really
the moon, and he lived in some yery
distant land a long way Off Now
Chen, the Gypsy chief, took it into
his head that he would marry GER
tain very beautiful princess whose
name was Kan. She was very glorious
parsonage. her face shone with mar
velous brightness. and her robes were
the most magnificent ever seen in any
country.
Now there was a good reason WHY
the two should not marry, but they
did. and this brought about a great
trouble in the country where they liv-
ed. A curse was pronounced upon all
the children of the Chief Chen and
his wife. Kan, and by this course it
was declared that they should leave
the palace and their own kingdom
and become forever wanderers upon
the earth
So very sadly they gathered to-
gether and a very large number thew
were; Then biddir\ farewell to the
places they knew and loved they Jared
them forth to seek their fortunes
in The wide. wide world. And since
thai day they have continued to live
under this curse. and still even TO
this day are they but wanderers upon
the earth, having no homes and no
certain abiding places Known as
Gypsies they pass to and fro and
camp in the forests. by the laughing
streams and on he mountain sides,
making the best of their sad fortune.
