Most Modern Salt Plant.

Thirteen hundred barrels every
twenty-four hours of fine salt
mined, purified and crystallized,
packed ready for the table without
the touch of a hand-thls is the last
achievement In salt making, the
final round in reduced cost of pro-
duction, says the Technical World.
In the city of Saginaw there has
been completed and put In opera
tion the most modern salt plant
in America. The rock salt Is
mined and brought to the surface in
the form OF brine, through wells
nearly 500 feet deep. This brine is
pumped into tank and filtered and
run Into settling tanks. From there
1t is drawn of into grainers, where
the salt crystallizes.
These grainers are made Of solid
concrete and are much better than
the old wooden tanks, Steam exhaust
pipes pass through the grainers,
which heat the brine to such a tenn
perature that capitalization begins.
This is a most interesting action.
Watching the steaming surface OF
the brine, a pellicle of salt forms,
which soon breaks and sinks down,
to be followed by another, and the
capitalization then proceeds rapid
ly. 1t is fact that the estimated ca
pacity of each grainer, of 100 barrels
every twenty-four hours, is being
greatly exceeded and more than 1870

Work Under Water as II is Taught by
the British Admiralty.

The British Admiralty trains div
ers. ana every British war ship car
ries at least one representative of the
craft and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth, Dew
onport and Sneerness.
One of the difficulties with which
divers have to contend, says the Lon
don News, is probably not realized
by landsman, namely. that the great
er the depth the greater is the pres
sure Of water on the mans body and
the greater the labor and exhaustion
of working. The naval authorities
limit their men to depth of 12O
feet. The greatest depth to which a
man has descended is said by Siebe
to have been 2O4 feet, and the pres
sure at that depth was extraordinary,
namely, SSls pounds to the square
inch. one wonders how any human
being could stand Il. Twelve faith
oms, or about 20 feet, would be en-
ough for most men. The ears ana
nose would probably begin to bleeo
and the pressure on the head would
be very serious. A practiced diver
can, of course, descend much deeper
without such unpleasant sensations
His dress costs more than a hun
dred pounds; 1t is of tanned twill and
rubber and made in one piece, with
a big opening at ,ne neck. The he'll

Is pumped down to him by pipe
made of canvas and rubber and out
let valves, which only open outward
ly are placed at convenient places to
permit the vitiated air to escape.
These valves are extremely important
as by them the diver can regulate
his supply OF air
In addition to this pipe the diver
has a lifeline enabling him to COM
munlcate with his assistants above
water This was formerly done by
series OF concerted tugs or jerks on
the line, but the method is being sup-
erseded as means to communicate
by the telephone, the wires being
conveyed by the lifeline. He there

II he We're in the city.
Another great Improvement is the
use of the electric lamp, though In
some West Indian waters a diver can
see clearly for some distance. In
other waters again the darkness is
intense 20 or 30 feet down. The

"The DEVILS Bible"

The volume which is called "the
devils Bible" is In the library OF the
royal palace Of Sweden. II is a huge
copy of the Scriptures written on 300
prepared asses skins. One report
says that 1t took 500 years to COM
plete this copy, which is so large that
It has table by itself Another tra-
dition says that It was completed in a
single night, due to the assistance of
his satanic majesty, who, when the
work was finished, gave the monk a
portrait of himself for frontlspiece.
The illuminated likeness of the devil
still adorns the front page OF the
work. This volume was carried on
by the swedes in the 80 years war
from a convent in Prague. New York
