The Great Salt lake is gradually dry
ing up, and. the inhabitants Of Salt
Lake City seem quite surprised. They
ought not to be. All salt lakes owe
their salinfty to the fact of their hav-
ing no outlet, and lake without an
outlet is dying lake.
Nor is death usually long delayed.
speaking geologically- Lakes Kol1o
Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly
extensive inland seas not SO very many,
decades ago, yet Sven Hedtn found
them reduced to mere acrid puddles
set in the midst of well nigh limltless
salt deserts that once were their beds.
The terrible 1Taklamal1an desert, too,
in which Hedin nearly died of thirst,
was once the bed Of just such a lake
So also were the salt deserts Of Persia
Northern Tibet is studded with salt
fakes In process Of desicSation. The
Aral and the Caspian sens were at one
time far more extensive than is now
the case, proving that they, too, are un=
dergoing the inevitable process of des-
location to which all such bodies of
water are sooner or later invariably
subjected.-St Paul Pioneer Press.

Neqre EIoauenes.

Some years ago one OF Texas widely
known statesmen who Is now dead
was passing along street in Dallas
when an old colored man who had
once belonged t6qdm approached, took
of his hat and passed a hand over his
white wool as he asked:
"Marster, gin de old man so cents"
Dan, you are a robber."
"How?' asked the astonished darlSy,
opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.
"DIdn't you see me put my hand 10
my pocket?"
"Yes. sau."
"Well, you old rascal, you rob me Of
the pleasure OF giving you money with

The old man received a dollar. Bow
ing almost to the ground. while teas
came out and coursed through the aged
prints around his eyes, he replied:

YOU hab and wild Abraham and Isaac

what can keep you out of heaven"

a candid critic.

IA criticism that has helped me
great deal in my work came from a
man to whom 1 took picture to be
,framed,'' said a young woman who
spends much OF her time copying in the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art. tAs the
picture progressed my friends told me
it was line. Some of the other copytsto
said it had value, character, good color
ing and all those things, and even one
of the guards in the gallery got real
friendly one day and remarked that it
was the best copy of that picture he
had seen. began to think that maybe
after all. my several years of study
were beginning to bear fruit. At the
frnmer's 1 picked out Il nice frame, aud
the Trainer began to figure on the cost.

frfne will come to $3.os. If were
you I'd get something cheaper for that

"settina the River on Fire."

In old English times, when each
family was Obliged to sIft its own -four,
1t sometimes happened that an ener-
getlc man would turn his sieve so rap
idly as to cause 1t to catch fire. The
style of sieve used in those days was
called a .'temse," and 1t became GUS
tomary saying that lazy man would
never set the tense on IRE. Now, It
happens that the name of the river
Thames is pronounced ike the name
of this old -four sieve, and after many
years, when the old fashioned tense
was forgotten, it was thought that set
ting the tense on fire meant setting
the river on fire, and that is why to-
day we say that a stupid person Will
never set tho river on FIRE.

TRACK TO THE NAVY YARD
SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE
TO HOLD A HEARING.
Bill Has Been Passed, But Motion
to Reconsider is Pending
Before the Senate.

There is to be hearing at 1890 o'clock
tomorrow morning before the District
committee of the Senate on bill to au-
therize the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company to main
tain track connection with the navy
yard in this city. The fact that the bill
is not before the committee, but is pend
ing on the Senate calendar with note
indicating that it was passed, and that a
motion to reconsider was entered by Sena-
tor Gallinger, but not acted upon, will
make no difference to the committee 1t
will go right ahead and try to get some
light on, what for some mysterious rea-
son appears to be very knotty problem.
The Importance of the innocent looking
little bill-originally it had but one Sec
tiOn-may be understood in part when it
is known that Assistant Secretary of the
Navy NeWberry, representing the ma
tiOnal government: General Manager At
terbury of the Pennsylvania railroad;
Capt. Morrow, for the local government,
and Wash B. Williams for the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association VIII adj
dress the committee tomorrow. Among
the things involved in the consideration
of this legislation are the shipping of
Uncle Sam big guns from the navy yard
and the payment to the railroad of mil
lion and half dollars. There are other
things involved too but there is an air
of mystery about them. and everybody
who knows says: Hist! Wait until
Monday.
The truth of the matter is that unless
the railroad removes certain tracks from
the navy yard and the vicinity of the old
9th street depot the million and a half
dollars due the road from the government
will be forfeited, according TO proVls-
ion of the law. Now. when the present
tracks go, unless some bill is passed TO
grant special permission for connection
with the yard, the government guns, etc,
will have to be shipped down the river TO
Newport News Va, or some other more
remote place instead Of going quickly to
their destination on a railroad.
Senator Galhnger introduced a bill sew
eral weeks ago To meet the difficulty. 1t
merely directed the road to continue its
come ction under the direction of the Com
missioners. The District committee adopt
ed an amendment 10 this Dill which was
in the nature Of substitute and contain
ed eight sections. one day, while Mr..
Gallinger was out of the chamber, the
amended bill was passed. On the same
day the chairman of the District commit
tee entered his motion to reconsider
The substitute provides for additional
rights for the railroad, and the claim is
said to be made that an attempt was
nearly successful to give the railroad a
good deal more of good thing than 1T
deserves and a good deal more than Con-
eresS would want it TO have II Tie facts
were known.
Who is responsible for the miX-up?
This is the question that is being asked
and that will probably be answered at
the hearing tomorrow. AS a result of the
hearing the committee will probably ha 9e
something to say to the Senate about the
bill

Changes Among Naval Officers.


The present year will be marked by
many important changes in the naval es-
Establishment. Undoubtedly the most I'M
portant of these will be the retirement OF
Rear Admiral Roblev d. Evans, com
nandinR the Atlantic fleet. now gradually
approaching the end of its record-break-
ing cruise around the coast of Souti
America. He viii reach the retiring age
sixty-two years August IS. and under eX-
listing conditions will not be eligible for
a command at sea after that date except
in the remote contingency of an outbreak
of hostilities-
Unless conditions undergo a radical
change Admiral Evans will round out his
naval career on the arrival of his fleet a.
San Francisco in June next and Will be
relieved by another officer commander
in-chief of the strongest aggregation o.
warships ever organized in the United
States upon whom will devolVe tn
responsibility of taking the battleshiI
fleet across the Pacific and home through
the Mediterranean. or OF bringing II back
to the Atlantic coast around South Amer
lea, as DEVELOPMENTS may determine
Who will succeed Admiral Evans depends
entirely upon the wishes of Presiden:
Roosevelt and if he has any choice in
the matter it has not been made know

ner as to promote the most efficient
administration No actual addition
to the national forest area is involved
in the plan.
The Cache forest will consist of
the Logan and Idaho divisions of the
Bear river national forest. and will
be administered by Supervisor Wood

Utah. The Poeatello national forest
will consist of the present Poeatello

Under the general plan of redic-

being made by the forest service to
reduce the area of the administrative
units to an average of approximately

districting there will be IA super

Although snow and rain which
have prevailed practically contiunus-
ly for nearly a week have been hard
on the town residents of Nevada. the
period has proved n godsend to the
farmers and ranchers of the state.
Where two weeks ago It appeared
that the year would go down In his

far from optimistic as 10 the gem
eral results. everything now bears
promise of a good year
The snow which fell with the rain
was far better than an unmiXed rain
fall would have been. The moisture
remained longer on the surface and
consequently soaked the ground to
greater depth than a rainfall would
have The timely precipitation sea-

much worry as to outcome of the
year.
