MExco's VAST SODA LAKES.
The Government VIII Not Dispose Of
Them to Anyone.

Mexico is the possessor of such
vast and valuable soda lakes that the
government refuses to dispose of them
to anyone or at any price. President
Diaz believing that they are yet to be-
: come sources of enormous income to
the country, just as the nitrate of soda
beds are to Chini.
At only one other place in the world
Is natural soda found under conditions
which admit of Industrial develop
ment, and even there it must be
shipped hundreds of miles by rail and
many tons of water must be evapo-
rated by coal, to obtain a ton of the
product cct rf.
But at the Bay of Adair, only mile
from the coast of Lower California,
under the blazing sun of the desert, lie
vast lanes of crystals of carbonate of
soda, with the appearance of masses
of SLOW and ice, but from which will
be made millions of tons of soap and
other millions of tons of glass
The worlds consumption amounts
to hundreds of thousands of tons annu-
ally, and nearly all of it is manufac-
tured from common salt with the use
of expensive machinery, while at
Adair bay nature does all the work in
producing an article worth SIS per
ton. 1t is estimated that there is
enough soda on top of the ground to
produce 100 tons a day for rs years.

quantity of dynamite and some in

The Aoe or Lead.

We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of iron,'' and there is no
galnsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead. Soft, yielding
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and Industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs,' monotype type are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
we'll as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking prett. - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay. lrE ff'f
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" Of
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Just as good' as
white lead But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the cat
ing of fine oil cloths and for maLy
purposes besides paint
Red lead" is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc, which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as of iron.

the insurgents so as to avoid further
bloodshed. However, there has
been no tangible advance toward an
agreement or to definite arrange.
ment of basis for negotiation. In
the meantime fighting has been prac-

mally chosed by small group of vet
Grams started Wednesday to-. the
camps of Pine Guerra, Col Asbert,
Gen. Guzman and others of the insur-
gent leaders with the purpose of
learning what will be acceptable to
the actual fighting leaders of the rev.
olution. A similar committee started
for Cienfuegos to consult under flag
of truce with the insurgent leaders
in Santa Clara province Late on
Wednesday afternoon Gen. Menocal,
Gen. Cebreco and other veterans held
a conference with Alfredo Zayas, the
leader of the liberal party, which,
however, did not RESULT in reaching
any understanding. At the same

CANS WINS CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Battle of GoIdheId Was Decid-
ed on a Foul in the Forty
Second Round.

Arena Goldfield, Nevada. - Bat
Ting Nelson deliberately fouled Joe
Cans in the forty-second round of
the best and longest fight seen here
in many years. Both men were tired
when the fight ended, but Cans was
apparently the stronger. He was
away ahead on points and had
smashed and cut Nelson all through
the fight without being badly hurt
himself. Shortly after the forty-sec-
ond round commenced the men were
in their usual clinch. Nelson had his
head on Cans shoulder and his arm
down. Several timse he hit Cans be-
low the belt, apparently feeling for
a vital spot. AT last he drew back
his right arm and hit Cans a vicious
blow square in the groin. The col
ored boy sank to his knees and rolled
over on his back. Referee Siler with
out hesitation ordered Nelson to his
corner and awarded the fight to Cans
on a foul. Siler's decision received al
most unanimous approval.

LEFT THE BABY BEHIND.
The Nurse Had the Carriage, But the
Baby Was Missing. I'D

Mrs. Maud Miller Nipple, whose
advocacy of course in "motherhood''
for young matrons has already begun
to bear good fruit, was talking of the
duties of young mothers.
And no young mother" she said,
mo matter how many her millions
nor how high her station, should trust
her little one entirely to a nurses
care. A nurse may be the most intel
Hgent, most conscientious; but to rear
a baby properly is difficult task. and
only one person is sufficiently inter.
ested in this task to perform it well.
That person is the babys mother"
Mrs. Nipple smiled.
"A young mother" she said, was
walking with her husband on the
Atlantic City board walk Suddenly
she gave little cry of pleasure.
"'Oh, she said, there is nurse
nurse wheeling baby
And she ran lightly TO the luxuri-
GUS coach of leather, with its swan
shaped carriage and it's rubber-tired

Three Great conversationaIists.

The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DIR. oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, DR.. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point Of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like illumination of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him. that it was difficult to resist such

LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
! l is caused by some irritating SUBJ
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
many people.

sHAW'S WARNING TO BANKS
Public Money Not for Wall Street
Spectators.
Business-Must Be Loaned
at Regular Rates.

w a S ling ton, D. C.-Secretary
Shaw has made public circular let
ter dated Friday to all national bank
repositories in which he says in effect
that he expects public moneys in de-
positary banks to be used in the com.
munities where it is deposited and
not loaned through brokers and other
agents in. New York for the specula-
tive purposes. The letter is as fol-
lows: ttt
Il am advised that many banks,
scattered throughout the country, are
loaning their surplus funds, through
brokers and others in New York on
call, at high rates of interest Money
loaned on call is well nigh universal
ly for speculative purposes. recog-
nize the right of any individual to
the legal right of any bank to loan
money at appropriate rates of interest
at home or abroad, on ample security,
even with knowledge that it is being
used for speculative purposes. l am
not willing, however, that government
money shall be enticed away from the
locality where it has been deposited
for the purpose OF being used in this
way. Public deposits are made in aid
of legitimate business as distinguished
from speculation whatever it's nature.
Depository city banks are expected to
loan at regular rates or not at all and
they must not be tempted to act as
agents instead of correspondent for
other depository banks in making call
loans at high rates.
If you have more money than your
community can appropriately absorb,
please return it to the treasury for it
can be promptly placed where it will
do much good. This does not apply
to banks with large reserves regularly
on deposit with city correspondents. :"
