Salt Lakes.

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 salinity to the fact of their hay
ing no outlet, and lake without an
outlet is dying lake.
Nor is death usually long delayed,
speaking geologically. Lakes Koko
Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly
extensive inland seas not so very many
decades ago, yet Sven Hedin found
them reduced to mere acrid puddles
set in the midst of well nigh limitless
salt deserts that once were their beds.
The terrible Taklamakan desert, too,
In which Hedin nearly died Of thirst,
was once the bed of just such lake.
So also were the salt deserts Of Persia.
Northern Tibet is studded with salt
lakes in process of desiccation. The
Aral and the Caspian seas were at one
time far more extensive than is now
the case, proving that they, too, are I'M
dergoing the inevitable process Of des-
location to which all such bodies of
water are sooner or later invariably
subjected.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Sitting Bull.

To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tanned. In fact, he did usually keep
himself under control, but he was cruel
and almost heartless. He had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived;
he was full of passion and often very
angry. He was always imperious and
insolent toward our generals, the In
dian agent and other friends Of the
great father at Washington, whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence in bring
ing Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid Of death,
and, though he planned the greatest
victory which the Indians ever gained
over white men, Sitting Bull himself
was a coward and disgraced himse
even before his own people by running
away in the very face of success

The wolf is one of the animals which
can only be hunted successfully with
dogs. Most dogs. however. do not take
at ali kindly to the pursuit. A wolf is
terrible fighter. He will decimate
a pack of hounds by rabid snaps with
his giant jaws while suffering little
damage himself; nor are the ordinary
big dogs, supposed to be fighting dogs,
able to tackle him without special
training. l have known one wolf to
kill bulldog which had rushed at Ii
with a single snap.
The true way to kill wolves, how
ever, is to hunt them with greyhounds
on the great plains. Nothing more ex-
citing than this sport can possibly be
imagined. 1t is not always necessary
that the greyhounds should be Of abso-
lutely pure blood. Prize-winning dogs
of high pedigree often prove useless
for the purposes.

COMMENCEMENT DATES
Have Been Changed to Avoid Conflic,

on Same Week

The annual high school commence
ment exercises will take place a week
earlier this year on account of the
schools not being closed entirely dur
ing corr palace week. Superintend-
ent Hof states that the baccalaure-
ate exercises will be held on Sunday,
May "a, the commencement concert
on May 25, and commencement ex-
%ercises on May 30, all of which will
be held in city hall auditorium.
These dates will thus avoid a con-
tlict with the intercollegiate athletic
and oratorical contests, and also the
two dates of the May Music Festi-
val, coming on the 9th and 2Sth.
The valedictorian of the class this
year will be Charles Jones, who was
selected by the faculty when it took
into consideration the scholarship,
the ability for original thinking and
the expression of English. The salu-
tatorian will be Miss Merle Rowley.
