Monsieur Lapicque informs the
French Society of Biology that 2o,-
100000 human beings in the Congo
region commonly employ salt OF po-
tassium instead of salt of sodium
for seasoning their food. They OBJ
tain this salt from the ashes of GER
tain plants. Recently since the open
ing up of the country, ordinary salt
has been largely imported, but the
negroes regard it as insipid, and
abandon with regret the use of their
familiar ashes. They take the inn
ported salt only because it is cheap.

CHAPTER XVI.
Bokhara.

With the advent of October came a
succession of fogs. The atmosphere
of London was such as only London
ers can breathe-yellow, noisome and
choking The Wrights had talked of
leaving town, and mad even discussed
the question of going abroad, but
they were still in Seymour street.
The colonel was busy, and seemed
singularly averse to leaving town; = he
was now getting seriously anxious
about VINEYARD Mistley.
Instead of getting better, things
grew worse. Vague reports, originat-
ing sometimes in Berlin, sometimes
in st. Petersburg, appeared from time
to time in the newspapers. These
| rumors spoke of trouble on the
Afghan and Persian frontiers, of tri-
bal disturbances and religious diff
ferences, of boundaries overstepped
and agreements broken. Added to
all this, Colonel Wright received a
blow from a nearer source, which ag-
gravated matters greatly, and rem
dered VINEYARD Mistley's silence al
most unbearable.
One morning, late in October, he
was sitting at his study table. Before
| him lay the large sheet map which
Charles Mistley had brought more
than year ago. A fresh route had
been worked out across it with dotted
lines of red, commencing at Kizil Ar
vat on the day mentioned by the trav-
eler, Henry Akryl. The colonel had
just completed the doted line as far
as Bokhara, and was looking, in an
absentedly methodical manner, at a
calendar. The date written above
the word Bokhara was terribly far
back into the spring, more than six
months ago.
The study door opened softly and
although the old soldier heard it,
he did not move or turn. Two warm
hands were laid upon his shoulders
with that marvellous touch of a
woman's loving fingers. They were
peculiarly steady hands, as white as
Lena's, but firmer and somewhat
| heavier.
''Willy."
Yes, Ola woman.
willy" repeated Mrs. Wright,
looking out of the window into the
hopeless dreariness of the October
morning, have you noticed any diff
ference-any change in Lena?"
The colonel raised his eyes from
the map and contemplated the Chin
neys of the opposite house for some
moments in silence. "a change-old
woman?" he said, slowly. perhaps
there is a change---she is no longer a
child now"
mo, it is not that. There is some
thing else. She never allows it to
appear; but-she Is miserable. She
is wearing herself to death. We
must go away from London
1t must be confessed that Colonel
Wright had not given very much
thought to the subject of his daugh-
ter's happiness, nor was he clever at
divining motive.

Look out tor some bogus five-dol

One old gentleman who is not in

of these coins few DAYS ago and
when he attempted to offer it in pay

refused to accept. The money was
returned to him with the information
that it was counterfeit and that it
was against the law to try and pass

DEMAND
FROM BANK COMMISSIONER
THAT ALL AFFAIRS BE lNVES-
TiGATED BY LEGISLATURE
WITH OPEN DOORS

Bank Commissioners Douglass anC
Ryan now demand that the whole
mater OF the action of the commits
sion in relation to the State Bank
and Trust Company be investigated
Dy the Legislative committee.
Secretary of State Douglass said
this morning that he has not asked
a single member of the legislature tC
vote against the resolution and that
he is ready and wants the committee
to get busy.
State Treasurer Ryan says that he
has nothing to conceal in the matter
and that he wants the commission
investigated That both men were
trying to defeat the resolution. both
denied emphaticaliy this morning.
With This attitude on the part OF
| the commissioners it is possible and
probable that the committee can get
down to work at once
1t is believed the committee will
take up all the grand iu,y reports,
all the minutes of the bank commits
sion and everything that may throw
any light whatever on the matter OF
the alleged dilatOry action by the
bank commission, the appointment of
the receiver. the handling OF the re-
habiiitatiOn committee the trading OF
accounts and in fact everything that
will tend to throw the responsibility
for the insolvency of the State Bank
and Trust company upon the proper
shoulders.
Commissioners Douglass and Ryan
say they want the investigation made
with open doors that any person in
terested may hear the proceedings
and that they also want any person
to appear who can assist the legisla-
tive committee in nay way.
A good many charges of collusiOn
and dilatory action for special inter-
ests have been made in pubic and
it is hoped by all concerned that this
investigation will go to the bottom
of the whole matter.

RESERVOIR
TO BE BUILT ON THE HUMBROL.
DIT RIVER UNDER SUPERVISION
OF STATE ENGINEER

By the fore part Of next week, the
preliminary steps toward the actual
construction work of the humboldt
reservoirs, will have been taken
when State Engineer Nicholas and a
party OF LOvelOckers proceed to the
site OF the big project, and there
carefully go over the details of the
undertaking and lay the plans for
the preliminary work.
The construction work can be
cIassed under three heads, First
the immense dam in the river at the
point where the water is to be TAX
en- out, secondly, the canal to convey
the waters to the reservoirs. and
third the construction work on the
Reservoir proper.
The dam will be located at a point
in the river about two miles from
Mill City. 1t will be 2Zo feet long,
from seven to eight feet high, and
built OF concrete. 1t will contain an
immense headgate, and ample pro-
visions will be made for flood sea
son. The estimated cost of the dam
is in the Immediate neighborhood of
$4,000.
The canal will be twelve miles
lOng and its estimated cost mas been
stated at about $4,000. although
those intimately acquainted with the
project are Of the opinion that it will
not be so great
The construction work at the res
ervoir will be expensive. costing in
the neighbOrhOOd of $4,000. AL
,nough this cost is trivial when com
pared to the immense basins that
will be prepared for receiving Inc
flood waters of the river. The con-
tour of the larger reservoir will be
over fifteen miles in length, while
the smaller will be at least ten.
AS to how soon the work or a por-
'lon OF it will be completed, the men
back of the project have not given
out any definite infOrma on. 1t will
require prObaD Dly twelve months to
construct the dam The work on this
Will begin with a small force, very
soon which will be enlarged and
pushed vigorously after the harvest
season Of this year.
