Sale Farming.

One of the strangest farms in the
world is situated in Southern Cal
ifornia. 265 feet below the level of
the sea. The place is known as
Salton. 1t is salt farm of about
1000 acres.
Here the salt lies, as deposited
by nature, from inches to 16 inches
in depth. The salt farmers are busy
harvesting this crop the year round;
and, though the harvest has continu-
ed for over 20 years, during which
time more than 10000 tons of salt
have been harvested, only 10 of the
1000 acres of the farm have been
worked The salt is first plowed
up into burrows; it is then thrown
into conical piles by men with bar
rows, after which 1t is taken to the
reduction works near by and put
into marketable condition.
The work is done by Mexicans
and Chinese, the intense heat being

Guessing At Population.


Congressional preparation for TAX
ing the 1910 census has started stat
isticians to making estimates of the
population of the country and pre-
diction Of what it will be in 1850.
James J. Hill recently offered the
prediction that the United States
would have population OF ESQ, 900
eco by 1850, although other experts
in vital statistics place the number
a. low as 175,O0O,0O
One of the census experts, w. s.
ROssiter, has just published an ar
tlcie In which he estimates the popu-
laticn in 1910 at about $4,000. 600
and ventures the assertion that after
that date the rate of increase will
be very small, with the prospect that
the entire population in 1850 will
not exceed 130,D00,000.
The record shows that the rate OF
our population increase is diminish
ing with each decennial census. The
increase from 1870 to 1880 was 81
per cent. From 1880 to 1890 it
Was ~ per cent. From 1890 to
1900 1t was but 81 per cent. Mr..
Hossiter argues that If this declining
ratio continues the population in
1850 will not exceed 10000, 600,
and will thereafter remain about sta
tionary. He shows by the records
that all estimates of population at
former census periods have been
greatly exaggerated.

This strange fraternity had its in
ception at Hahnemann College. in
this city, in 1873. During the thirty
one years of its existence its weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret. Its members at the
end of their probationary period take
an oath that silences their tongues
forever.
The life ON this earth is enjoyed to
its utmost by them. At the end their
colleagues. attired in long white sur
g1cal gowns, gather about the bier on
which lie the earthly remains of their
friend. The spirit they know has de-
parted, and the clay that is left is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At crematory all
that remains is given over to the
flames. The doctor that was is re-
duced to a handful of dust.
DR.. Fred w. Wood. former SUI
preme encephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur-
pose of autopsy and cremation. Eve
believe in three Degrees said DR..
Wood. They are fraternity, which
means the real fellowship on this
earth; autopsy after death, which
helps all mankind. and cremation.
which puts an end to the earthly
shell that remains after the spirit
has flown"
What is done at the autopsy"
was asked.
Il cannot say" replied DIR. Wood.
Our oaths are solemn. What we do
to the body is all in the interest of
science. 1t does no harm and it ad-
vances our knowledge -
What is the fraternity's belief in
regard to cremation?" was asked.
We believe that cremation is pro-
per. The body is but clay, and soon
er or later becomes but handful of
dust. When 1t is given over to the
fire all is ended. The translation of
'Ustion' means fire.
