Facts Cleaned in Reading.

There may some day come time
in a few billion years-when all the
salt in the world will be in the ocean.
Salt ia one of the easiest dissolved
minerals in the earth's crust, and
every tiny stream of water that final
ly makes its way to the sea carries
with it some minute particle of salt.
Ever since the world began, the
streams and rivers have been busily
engaged in carrying this salt from
the land to the sea. And once the
salt reaches the sea, there it stays.
The water IN the ocean is constantly
beiug evaporated, and taken out and
renewed, but the salt remains Some
one, with not much else to do, and a
taste for statistics, has figured out
that if all the salt in the oceans were
taken out, and put on land, it would
cover 1000, 900 square miles to the
depth of one foot. Some Of the great
inland seas that have no outlet COIL
tain vast quantities of salt Russia
gets l00 900 tons of salt annually
from a single source, Lake Elton,
which is only 30 square miles in
area. This lake is so full OF salt that
its surface is covered with a thin
layer of salt that shines aud glistens
in the sun like IA sheet of gold, Ehe
lake is often called the Golden lake.
The Dead sea, III the Holy Land, is
dead because it is so full of salt no
fish or life can live in it. Oar own
Salt lake in Utah. is another dead
sea. All these lakes have no outlet,
and the streams emptyiug into them
have come laden with tiny bits of salt
for so many Thousand years that it
has finally almost filled them, aud
the water is no Longer pure and fresh.
Besides the salt in thu oceans and
lakes, there are many salt aud
mineral springs. These have usually
been located by animals who made
paths there when they visited them
in order to drink the waters.
1t is said that sea water is very
good to drink-that it is good medi-
oinally. Its taste is lad, but not
worse than many of the waters OF
various far-famed mineral springs.
There is in Germany school of
healing which uses only water in its
cures. Baths of various sorts and
temperatures. and quantities of water
taken internally, were all the drugs
II. In ancient times this water
treatment had great vogue, aud .is
said to have worked many marvellous
cures. 1t is certain that very few
persons drink water enough, Two
quarts is the least one should drink
daily.

New York. Oct. 27.-That Jack

cording to the telegram, johnson will

After Jeffries had had the obstruc-

FIGHT OVER A NAME.
Has Been Precipitated at the Dry
Farming Congress.

Billings, Mont, Oct. Y7.-Articfe one of
the report of the executive committee
presented at this mornings session of
the fourth Dry Farming congress pre-
cipitated the first heated discussion of
the meeting. The article says
This organization shall be known as
the Dry Farming congress"
There has been sentiment developing
for the past two years against the name.
The principal objection to it IS that it
is misleading. Advocates of change
of name claim they do not expect to
farm dry land, but by applying scientific
principles to their farming, are making
their land. which they termed semi
arid, produce at least as well as the
and more favored with moisture
They claim that the term dry leads
many who might become settlers of the
semi-arid district to fear the pros
poets.
The fight for the next congress is still
oil, with Spokane and Colorado Springs
chief contenders.

Korean Patriotic League Lauds Assas-

Honolulu Oct 27.-The Korean pa
triotic league has issued a circular ex-
pressing satisfaction at the assassina-
tion of Prince Ito. 1t sayc:
Now is the time for our twenty mil
lions of people to secure their indie
pendence. Ito is dead. He brought to
Cur country the rule of the Japanese

has received its reward. His crimes
were objectionable and what happened
to him was a fitting reward for his trick

of our country"

CAREER CUT SHORT.
Boy Bandit From Iowa Arrested Here
for Theft.

Inspired to become a bandit after
having read vivid descriptions of the
life they lead, Arthur Berger, aged
II. who ran away from his home in
Des Moines, Ia, three weeks ago, was
arrested last night in Topeka, follow
ing the larceny of a 3S-caliber re-
volver from Edgar HOLIDAY who
keeps a restaurant between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets on Kansas ave-
nue.. Berger had also attempted to
aid an inmate of the Reform school
to escape.
Berger has been employed as a
dish washer for Holloway since COM
ing here week ago, but that was too
tame for him, and he set about realiz-
ing his ambition to become a bold,
bad man. Meeting the boy from the
Reform school who was driving a
team, the two planned the escape of
the latter and determined upon Den
yer as the place where they would be-
gin their operations.
Untimely arrival of the Reform
school officers spoiled the game. The
pal was taken back to that in
stitution and the county authorities
notified while Berger was held until
their arrival. He was then lodged in
the county bastile. A charge of
burglary and larceny will be placed
against Berger, and also perhaps one
of attempting to aid a prisoner to es-
cape, which under the Kansas law is
felony.

manded to the Tombs for sentence
Young Musica, on the witness stand
testified that his father was in poor
health and had not been an active hand
in the business for several years
In remarks following the verdict
Judge Holt criticized the announced de-
cision of the government to retain in
the customs service the weighers who
during the trial had confessed to frauds
by which they and the Musicas
profited. Judge Holt said:
"Before finally disposing of this case
I have something to say in regard to
the three government witnesses, the
three weighers. who turned states evi

ment not only promised them immun-
ity but also retention of their posi-
tions.
II never before in all my experience
heard of the practice of continuing in
the government service men who have
confessed to frauds in that service.

NO CHANGE IN KOREA.
Prince Ito's Policy Will Be Carried
Out just the Same.

Toxic Oct. 27.-Japan's policy to-
ward Korea will remain unchanged
by the assassination of Prince Ito,
who as resident general of Korea,
worked out the plan for that king
dom's reformation. This much was
made known in a statement issued by
the foreign office today.
The statement was called out by the
appearance in sensational newspapers
of editorials demanding the inn
mediate. annexation of Korea to
Japan.
The foreign office silences this
clamor by formally declaring that
though the death of Prince Ito
through the dastard1y act of Korean
was the greatest loss which the en-
pire could sustain, the attitude of
Japan toward Korea remains the
augurated and desired by the dead
statesman.
There is no reason to believe the
death of Prince Ito will have the
slightest effect upon Japanese policies
at home or abroad. On the contrary,
his known wishes will be followed
probably more closely now than had
he lived.
The death of the prince was
officially announced by the govern
