SALT LAKE is WONDERFUL
IN 1T NOTHING BUT OBJECTS OF
GREAT WEIGHT WILL SINK.
The Hundreds Who Battle in Its Wa
ters Find 1t Difficult to Keep
Their Feet on Bottom.


ters Find 1t Difficult to Keep
Their Feet on Bottom.
The great Salt lake, in Utah, is SO
miles long, 81 miles wide and at the
deepest place 30 feet deep. If it's
bottom were level, writes William
E. Curtis, it would be Is feet deep
everywhere.
1t is the most salty water on earth
except the Dead sea, in Palestine.
There is one pound of salt to every
five pounds of water, which makes it
so dense that nothing will sink in it
except metals and other objects of
great We.-ht. People who battle in
Salt lake, and during the summer
several hundred indulge in that lux
ury every day, find it difficult to keep
their feet on the bottom. 1t is very
easy to float or swim, but when
timid person first enters the water
the sensation is alarming, because of
the tendency of the feet and legs to
rise to the surface. If bathers will
let themselves go and make no mus
cular effort their bodies will lie upon
the surface of the water and float
about like cork. The salt will make
their eyes smart, and whenever the
skin is broken or tender upon the
body there will be a singing sensa-
ton for little while, but the ac-
ton of the water is healing and
wholesome, and bathing in Salt lake
is prescribed by physicians in Utah
for every disease that human flesh is
heir to. 1t is natures greatest sani-
tarium.
There are no fish in Great Salt
lake, and no living things except tiny
shrimps about one-third of an inch
long, and some little crabs which bore
deep into the sand
The scientists say that there are
4OO,OOO,O00 tons of salt in the lake.
The waters of Salt lake are useful
not only as restoratives and tones
for invalids when used externally,
and for the manufacture of salt, but
they are very effective in killing
weeds on railroad tracks. Large
tanks, such as are used to haul oil
in, are fitted with sprinklers on their
sides and sterns, and are hauled
slowly along the tracks of the South
ern Pacific system and other railways
twice a year. Wherever the salt wa
ter falls the vegetation curls up and
dies. The first growth is thus killed
at the beginning of the season, and
in July or August the tracks are
sprinkled again to kill whatever
weeds may have survived the early
bath. The sediment from the water
which is a mixture of salt and soda,
forms a thin crust along the track
and is almost as good as oil in keep
ing down the dust.

the city for being the scene of the
scurrilous theft has vanished, so to

Billy 'Possum to a policeman, who

animal is in the hands of the secret

When the presidents car was side
tracked at Dallas the 'possum, pre-
scented by friends at Hampstead, was
safely on the inside. Then the chef,
complaining that it made a stencil
in the car, offered it to one of the
four policemen who were guarding
the car. The first two policemen re-
fused the presidential overtures, but
the third, Lee Thompson took the
future delicacy and carried it to a
neighboring yard and hid it until he
was off duty, and two days later he
had it cooked by an old negro mann

it was served to a bunch of his

presented with the compliments of

with the crook and yegg fraternity,

one he refused to say. So endeth the

BRIDE WAS RELEASED.
Peculiar Case in Which Uncle Sam
Figured as a Kidnapper.

REGULAR case III winch Uncle sam
Figured as a Kidnapper.
After having been detained on Ell
lis Island since June 29th, apparent
ly wrongfully held for deportation
by the immigration authorities, Mrs
Thakla Nicolo was released a few
days ago on a writ of habeas corpus
issued by United States Judge Hand,
and rejoined her husband for the first
time since she came to this country
as his bride on the Philadelphia.
Ferris Niocolo, a naturaliZed Amer
lean citizen, married the woman,
who is a Syrian, in her native coun-
try. When he arrived here the i'm
migration authorities found that she
was suffering from trachoma, and re-
fused to let her land. The husband,
because he was citizen and was not
afflicted, was allowed to go, but the
Ellis Island people held that the wo-
man was an alien, and as such must
be deported because of her ailments.
In applying for a writ of habeas
corpus it was claimed that the wO-
man, having married an American
citizen, was subject of the United
States herself, and entitled to land.
Judge Hand, in granting the writ,
stated that it had been established
that when the marriage took place
the woman was not afflicted, and that
at that time she became a citizen of
this country. At that time, he said,
she would have been allowed to land.
