probable effect of the lake upon the
 climate. narrow belt about the
 shore few hundred yards in width,
 was found to have a high relative
 humidity, but at distance of a mile
 on a still day, the customary dryness
 of the air was found These differ
 ences could be detected by the skin
 without the use of instruments and
 were confirmed by the wet and dry
 bulb thermometers The maintenance
 of the lake at any level for an ex.
 tended period would doubtless result
 in the growth of a belt of shrubs around it, but the water is too highly
 charged to be used for irrigation. Much amusing newspaper sensation alism has appeared affirming a change of climate in the southwestern deserts due to the formation of the Salton Sea. If all of the water evaporated from it in a year could be collected and precipitated as rain, it would give Arizona nearly a half-inch and would not suffice to lay the dust over the area it is supposed to influence. The vapor from the surface rises to great heights and no means of condensing it or keeping it near the ground is to be found in the configuration of the surrounding country or in the pre- Voi1in O. Uriudc xt-oiI1J hA raooo,, able to suppose that an enlargement of the fountain basin in Madison Square would affect the climate of New York, but the delusion in ques- tion will doubtless be paraded for century to come.
 "A month from the beginning of | the expedition, two of the party re- turned to complete the circumnaviga- | ton of the lake, refitted the boat in | wind that drove the alkali dust into | eyes and nostrils with impartially un- pleasant results, and starting out in the teeth of the gale were compelled | to seek refuge on the islands from the winds and choppy waves that fol lowed each other in sixteen-foot in ,ervals.
 In good time, however, the little 'loop, Chuckawalla, sailed up into the country road at Mecca, where she is low resting in deep and secure har- oorage.'

CRUISE OF THE
 CHUCKAWALLA Extracts From the Log of Voyager on
 Salton Sea
Salton Sea

An interesting account of voyage below sea level on Salton, written by pr. D. T. Macdougal, is a feature of the February number of The Outing Magazine. Dr. Macdougars party made the voyage in a sailboat, built and launched at Mecca in February, 1907, and appears to have followed the western shore line. "The first stop" says the writer. was made in the barrancas that came down near Travertine Island, an isolated cliff which would be an island if the sea were filled to it's ancient beach line, twenty-two feet above sea level. The half mile slope that intervenes here between the high level beach and the margin of the water, shows num- erous minor beaches, marked by bands or zones of vegetation, indubi- tably attesting the fact that the Sal ton Sea has been made and has dis appeared many times during the last hundred centuries.
 After our observations had been completed at Travertine Point and a rough survey made of the area in which the action of the vegetation would be followed with the subsistence of the lake, we made southward, camping ashore on the points made by fans of detritus coming down the long slopes from the mountains to the westward.
 Thousands of ducks, gulls and pei jeans were scattered over the surface of the lake and the report of gun would create disturbance that would cause every bird within radius of mile or two to rise, all being ex ceedingly shy A fair shot was to be obtained only by concealment in the desert shrubs out on a point, as the morning or evening flight followed near the general shore line.

IMPERIAL VALLEY WEATHER
Three Rainy Nights and One Dusty
 Day In Fourteen Weeks.

For the first time since the middle of last October, when there was a smart shower, rain fell in Imperial Valley early this week Three rainy nights in succession broke the long dry season, and dust was laid on the roads, but not enough water fell to keep the streets muddy an hour after clearing of the skies.
 There has been very little cloudy weather this winter, and there have been only three or four windy days. The sun has shone, the air has been clear and dry and the temperature has been just right all the time. If the past three months have given a fair average sample, Imperial Valley can boast of the finest winter eli mate on earth. One really disagree able day in fourteen weeks, when the wind carried clouds of dust, con. stitutes a record not to be matched by any other region.
 Since the rain the sky has been clear, the air bracingly cool, and the sunshine brilliant, and all the people of Imperial Valley are full of the joy of life

1 were made every few miles. The greatest depth found was eightyfour feet. This measurement was taken shortly after the main inflow was stopped by the completion of the rock dam at the famous intake and prob ably represents the maximum depth during the present formation of the lake. The completion of this dam, however, does not imply that the lake is likely to subside with rapidity and dry up within a short time More than two weeks after the stoppage we found a current coming down the Alamo and New Rivers sufficient to compensate the evaporation. This water probably comes from flooded sloughs and seepage and will, of course, gradually decrease, but the total flow will be sufficient to pre- vent any great subsistence of the level ill the lake during the next year or two, as was shown by the mainten- ance of the high level during March and April
 The Sea Is Salty.
 The more experienced members of our party were able to satisfy thirst with the water from the Salton which contained three-tenths of one per cent solid matter, most of which was salt, and later all of us used the water of Poso Coyote, which con- tained one-fourth of one per cent of common salt and black alkali. Much greater alkalinity and salinity might be endured in extremity, but the con- tinued use of water that contained as much as one-half of one per cent of salt or alkali, would be accompanied by much discomfort and injury
 Concerning the meteorological influ. ences of Salton Sea, Dr. Macdougal's and conclusions agree exactly with what has been said on that subject in the Press and in the Los Angeles Times.

Stones and Glass houxes.

The origin of the saying. '"Those who

the union of England and Scotland
London was inundated with Scotch
men, and the London roughs used to
go about at night breaking their Win
dows. Buckingham being considered

to give him piece of paper for the

then wrote down 3s. Cd. six times, one
under the other. and was slowly add

A SERPENT STORY.
Terrifying Experience With a Deadly
lancehead.

Laneehead.
The Paris Eclair tells a blood cur
ding serpent story, the scene Of which
was the island of Martinique and the
dramatis personae Sergeant Legrand
and Private Durand and the snake
deadly lancehead.
The soldier had been punished with
a night in the cells for some trivial Of
fense, but as the night was very hot
the sergeant had left the door open. In
the morning at O'Clock Legrand went
to wake his prisoner and, to his horror.
beheld a lancehead snake coiled up and
fast asleep on the mans breast.
The sergeant did not lose his presence
of mind. He stole noiselessly away,
ran to the guard room and, followed by
all the men on duty, returned to the
cell with a bowl Of milk and tin whis-
tie. Placing the bowl of milk at the
entrance to the cell. the sergeant began
to play the Blue Danube" 1t is need
less to remark that the weakness OF
the lancehead is milk and music. The
serpent, which was q six foot speci-
men, awoke. glided from the soldiers
body toward the bowl. but it had no
sooner buried its head in its beloved
drink than ten cudgels descended on
it with terrific force, killing it outright.
The soldier Durand, who was in a
swoon, was taken to hospital, where
he lay for many days on the verge Of
madness. He finally recovered and re-
lated his horrible experimentation he
had awoke in the middle Of the night
as the serpent was coiling itself on his
bare breast and how he had lain there
in an agony for hours, not daring to
move q muscle.
Durand was sent back to France as
soon as he had sufficiently recovered.
The only trace of his terrible expert
ence, adds the Eclair, is that his hair
is now snow white.
