SALT METHODS.
En the Marshes of the KOngO and at
 Utah's Great Lake.

Hn 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 tling 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 9O,OOO 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 blows before being con- veyed to the mills, where the final crushing and winnowing are done.
 In general the salt marshes of the Kongo region represent 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 layer of black ish 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 strati- 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 to collect the salt the natives dig a fun nel shaped hole from six to ten feet deep. The cavity soon fills up with @ warm and clear water, which Is strongly charged with salt. It comes up with considerable pressure, and the liquid seems to boil. The salt Is partly precipitated at the bottom of the cav ity and mixes with the soil to form blackish mud. The latter is washed out with hot water to extract the salt, which is then crystallized from the so- lution. The product which is thus ob- tained Is of salty gray color, and Its taste Is more alkaline than that of Flu ropean salt.

HOUSED THE AUDIENCE,

A Mining Camp MeIOdrama With am
 Unexpected Climax.
 Joseph Jefferson used to say that his career came very near being nipped in the bud in a small western town. He at that time was a member of a small pioneer company which progressed by means of three "bull teams" from one mining camp to another. They were always heartily received by the min CTS and cowboys, who readily paid the $5 in gold required to witness their performance. MT. Jefferson was the traditional melodramatic villain and fin the third act was supposed to kidnap "the child" The supposed mother, hearing its cries, rushes upon the scene just as he is about to escape and fires a fruitless shot from revolver.
 Upon this particular occasion all had gone well until this scene was reached, and the audience, many of whom had never before seen any kind of theatric- al performance, sat as if spellbound. At the crack of the mothers revolver, however, the spell was rudely broken.
 By heaven, she missed himv a red shirted miner in the front row shout ed, drawing his own six shooter and leaping to his feet. Round to the back door and head him off fore he can git hoss. boysy he yelled, and, following him, half the audience stam- peded for the exit.
 The excitement was finally allayed by the mother and the villain ap- bearing hand in hand before the cur tain and the managers explanation of the situation. When the performance had been concluded the audience insist ed on paying another admission price and having an immediate repetition from beginning to end.-Success Maga- zine.

THE SLIME ON FISHES.
Common to All Species and Essentia
 to Their Existence.


 A fish just taken from the water, if handled, is found to be slippery and coated with slime. All fishes, the meanest and the noblest, killifish and shark, shad, salmon and trout, wear this slime. They could not exist with out 1t.
 The slime is secreted usually in continuous series of ducts, with numer- ous openings arranged in line extend ing along the side of the fish. Some fishes have one line on side, some have five or six. The lines may be plainly visible, and in some cases ap- pear to be a marking on the fish. More often they are not observable at all. Some fishes store this secretion in pores distributed over the whole surface of the body, the larger number, however, in pores in lateral lines. There are also pores for the secretion of mucus, or slime, in the fish's head.
 The slime Is eXuded through the di- visions between the scales to the outer part of the body, over which 1t spreads, forming a sort of outer skin or cover ing, transparent and having elasticity and tenacity and often considerable body. It would not be remarkable for fair sized fish, say a fish of two pounds weight, to have 6 coating of slime a thirty-second of an inch in thickness. Fishes vary greatly in the amount of slime which they secrete. The eel will suggest itself as one that is very slimy.
 The fish's slimy coating reduces its friction when in motion and helps to increase It's speed. It aids in protect ing the scales from injury, being of sufficient substance to serve in some measure as cushion. The slimy covering makes the fish hard to hold and so enables 1t the more readily to escape from it's enemies. It Is some times repugnant to other fishes, which are repelled by its odor. It is the slime from the fishes handled that makes the angler "smell flshy," as the expression goes.
 A most important function of the fish's slimy coating is to protect it from the attacks of fungus, form of plant life found in all waters, salt and fresh, including the purest. The slime covers the entire exterior surface of the fish, including the fins. Fungus does not attach to the slime, but If the fish were to be injured so that there was upon it some spot uncovered by the slime upon that spot some minute fragment of fungus, so small as to be scarcely more than visible, would be likely to lodge. Once lodged the fun gus is reproduced very fast.
 Fish sometimes recover from at- Jacks of fungus, but much more often they do not. The fungus displaces the skin, inflammation Is set up, and the place attacked becomes practically sore. With its continued growth the fungus may cover the side of the fish and extend over the gills and finally kill 1t.

oIycerin Was Considered Useless.

No commercial commodity can show greater increase in value, pecuniary or utilitarian, than glycerin Original ly a waste product eliminated in the manufacture of soap, candles and me dicinal plasters, a nuisance to the manufacturer and source of obstruc- ton and pollution to river and sewer, it is now largely in request in almost every branch of industry. So great is the demand that the candle and other works can no longer yield the required supply of this commodity, and we now not only manufacture it on large scale, but import it. It is used in med icine, in the arts, in perfumery, in the manufacture of beer, in calico print ing, in the preparation of leather and as an antiseptic. Large quantities are annually absorbed in the production of nitroglycerin, dynamite and other ex- pl0Sives.

The superior court will open the June session on Tuesday, with Judge A. T. Roraback on the bench. There will be but little criminal business, if any. The list of new cases includes the following: Francis NJ. Edwards of Boston, receiver for the Suffolk Trust company, brings suits against Edna A. Whiton, Emma D. Allen and Nettie M. Whiton, stockholders in the company, for $2OO from the first, $500 from the second and $4OO from the last named to secure funds to help pay the debts of the concern. The company was formed under Massa- ohusetts laws, and as it is insolvent and has no funds with which to pay its bills, the stockholders are liable in proportion to the amount of stock held. Frank E. Deitzel and Annie D. Dietzel bring suit against A. L. Heim, executor of the George A. Jamm estate, claiming $S60 for ser vices as nurse and servant during the

A Sea-IeveI Canal.

The expert engineers that make up
the advisory body of the Panama canal
commission have decided in favor of
a sea-level canal. This will greatly in
crease the cost and mean longer per-
iod of construction, but it's advantages
will be just so much greater In med
icine, it has long since been decided
that for curing ailments peculiar to a
disordered stomach. liver or kidneys,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stands
first, and to prove the wisdom of the
above decision it is only necessary to
point to the thousands of cures it has
