Belated Mail at Chicago Almost
Swamped Employees.

CHICAGO, January 24.-Post Office em-
ployes were among the most roughly
handled victims of the violent storm of
Monday night. With the restoration of the
schedule on most of the roads entering the
city an enormous volume of belated mail
poured into the federal building, and the
facilities, which are taxed to the utmost to
handle even the ordinary mail of the city,
were completely overwhelmed by the influx
of delayed matter Clerks were worked
overtime officials remained at their desks
until a late hour last night and the en-
ergies of the department were strained to
the utmost to repair the havoc wrought by
the delay of the mails.
With all of this extra effort 1t was I'm
possible to move the huge bulk of mail
which came IN with the delayed trains. and
it will be three or four days before the
post office is again running on a normal
basis.

CARDINALS HATS.
they Are Never Worn and Are Not
Intended to Be Worn.


The most famous hat in the world is
never worn and is not intended to be
worn. Yet it is not freak hat or
merely Il nat turned out to show what
a certain factory can do. 1t is the car
dinaPs hat, the symbol of a cardinals
dignity in the Catholic church, and so
completely is it the mark of that dig
nifty that ito receive the hat" is every
where used as meaning that person
has been advanced to the cardinalate
of the Roman church.
The cardinals hat is of scarlet cloth
lined with scarlet silk. 1t is round and
very fiat, with practically no depth
and no place to fit on the crown of the
head. On each side of what serves as
a crown are red silk cords, holding fif-
teen red bell shaped tassels. These
hang down on either side of where the
cardinals cheeks would be if he could
wear his hat and are arranged in five
rows, the first row having one ball, the
second row two balls, the others three,
four and five respectively.
To confer this hat calls for a stately
ceremony. If the newly chosen cardi-
is sent to him to confer the red berretta
and the pail. but he does not receive
the hat except frOm the pope himself.
When the Hew cardinal reaches Rome.
which he must do within year after
he receives the berretta, the pope ap-
points Il day for actually comforting
the hat. A public consistory is held
attended by the pope and by all the
cardinals in Rome; mass is sung, the
new cardinal lying fiat on his face
while prayers and lessons are read;
then he is led by two attending cardi-
nails back to the hall of the consistOry,
where with many prayers the pope
himself rests the hat on his head, say
ing:
Receive this red hat. 1t signifies
that even to death and the shedding OF
blood thou shOuldst show thyself in
trepid for the eXaltatiOn of the holy
faith, the peace and repOse of Chris
tian people, the increase and mainte-
nance of the holy Roman church"
Then the cardinal kisses the pope's
foot, and his holiness retires. The car
dinal then exchanges the kiss of peace
with all the other cardinals, who then,
| turn by turn, make visits of cOngratu-
latiOn to him as he sits in his chair
This red hat was given first in 1915
by Innocent ". at the council of Lyon
Even when a cardinal gets his hat it is
of no use to him so long as he i= alive
Only after his death is it used 1t may
be permissible, but not Importantly
useful, to wonder where it is kept
meantime, but at the cardinals deatl
it is brought out and laid on his emf
nence's bier, at his feet. and when the
funeral and entOmbment are over the
red hat is hung up over the place OF
interment in the cathedral church,

This is the secret of finding every day

SALT METHODS.
tn the Marshes of the KOngO and nj
Utah's Great Lake.

Tn the Marshes OF the kOngO and at
Utah's Great Lake.
One of the sights of the Great Salt
lake of Utah, developed by the prog
ress of scientific industry, is the sys-
tenn of immense salt making ponds on
the shore of the lake. At Saltair the
lake water is pumped into a great set
thing basin, where the impurities fall
to the bottom and, containing much
iron, form a reddish deposit. From
this basin the water is drawn off into
harvesting ponds" averaging 10000
square yards in area and six inches in
depth. The ponds are kept supplied
with water, as the evaporation goes on
from May to September, when the salt
harvest begins. The water having dis
appeared, a dazzling layer of salt. two
or three inches thick is found covering
the bottom of the ponds, which is bro
ken up with plOws before being con-
veyed to the mills, where the final
crushing and winnowing are done.
In general the salt marshes of the
Kon@o region represent a kind of pock-
ct or rift in the soil They are to be
| found in considerable numbers in the
district of Sambalt, and there are also
many of these marshes on the left
bank of the river Lufubu. The walls
of the rift show first a layer of black
| ich clay mixed with sand and contain
ing numerous quartz and silex peb-
bles or more exceptionally black and
white shells, fragments of oyster and
mussel. Then comes a layer of strait
fed and gray blue schist. The soil OF
the depression also contains schist as
the greater constituent and is covered
by layer of sandy clay. In order tC
collect the salt the natives dig fun
mel shaped hole from six to ten fee
deep. The cavity soon fills up with
warm and clear water, which /:
strongly charged with salt. 1t comes
up with considerable pressure, and th'
liquid seems to boil The salt Is partl,
precipitated at the bottom of the cav
ity and mixes with the soil to form |
blackish mud. The latter is washe'
out with hot water to extract the salt
which is then crystallized from the Sc
luton. The product which Is thus oh
tanned is of salty gray color, and 1t
taste is more alkaline than that of Eu
ropean salt.
