A DRY SEA.
Salt Mine That Was an Ocean In the
Remote Past.


"a dry sea" sounds like a contra
diction in terms, but that is Just
what the great salt mine of Slanicu,
Roumania, is.
Millions of years ago what is now
the site of a thriving underground
community was nothing less than
an ocean. In the course of evolu-
ton. however, the waters Of this
sea evaporated or dried up, but the
salt which it contained remained.
Today the salt mining operations
at Slanicu are so extensive that a
veritable city has been established
where only fishes could survive
when the earth was young.
This salt mine produces nearly
100000 tons of salt a year, and the
supply is so large that at that rate
it will be 200 years before the re-
mains Of the ancient sea are entire
ly exhausted.
Some idea Of the extensive pro-
portions of this salt mine may be
had when it is said that despite the
large amount of salt removed each
wear the floor of the mine is lower
ed only six feet six inches annually.
Thousands of men and women
are constantly employed in the
works, and stores and dwellings
have been erected in the mine it
self, which is some 400 feet below
the surface, to save the operatives
the time and trouble it would re-
quire to reach the top.
While large amount of the salt
we use at the table is derived d.
rectly from the sea water, the
major part comes from salt mines
like the one at Slanicu. The salt
from the mines is more or less dis

A BATTLE ROYAL
Moose Fish, For the Championship Of
the Wilderness

4
An hour. il seemed. the two
moose had battIed. neither appear
ing TO gain a point Of advantage
Their sides showed red gashes from
the savage ripping of horn points.
Their eyes were Redeemed, and
there was crimson in the flecks Of
froth that flew from their nostrils.
The bog was churned into a black
slough of muck beneath them. The
first streaks OF dawn we're showing
when-was it fate. luck or the bet
ter strategy of the newcomer
the advantage of position was taken
from Bilhorn's stag.
Now the newcomer could stand
off a locomotive. lie could even
recover a measure of his wind.
while his opponent must continue
to weaken. And the effect soon
told. Suddenly he seemed to gather
himself together and bring all his
great force Of bone and muscle into
one grand, herculean effort, and
Bilhorn's bull slipped backward.
His adversary was actually forcing
bog and all back with him. the
spongy mass soughing up behind
his helpless launches. This was
dangerous turn in the fray. He
realized it and struggled TO gain
a stay somewhere, anywhere, but
there was nothing to hold to. Back,
back. he settled on his Launches
until he was driven squarely over
on his broad side, hopelessly out Of
action. terribly at the mercy of his
foe, who horned him brutally again
and again until sheer lack Of
breath forced him to draw back for
an instant.
Up from the redeemed slough
the vanquished beast staggered. a
fearful spectacle. Not an instant
did he falter, but, with his dark life
blood pouring from his sides. drove
straight at his enemy again. The
rest is soon told. As the dying stag
came on blindly he stumbled and
fell sduarely on the lowered anters
of his conoueror. Viciouslv the
standing bull strove to extricate
his horns from beneath the heavy
body of his victim, but be was
pinned fast.
Then came the spectacular finish
of this battle, worthy of the most
exacting Roman arena. Slowly but
surely the victor began to lift the
huge form of the fallen stag until
with one mighty upward sweep he
hurled it fairly over his back, where
it struck on the rock with a sieken-
ing thud and fell at its base,
quivering, shapeless mass of man
gled flesh and bone. The victor
wheeled and gazed for a moment
at the quiet form.
TO the trembling, painting figure
of the man on the rock he paid. no
heed. Satisfied that his adversary
would trouble him no more, he
turned and with heavy swinging
strides went back into the swamp
from which he had come. Thus
fell the king of the Allagash, not
from any cunning or craft of puny
man, but in a battle royal, worthy
OF the Spartan kings, waged with a
foe deserving Of his blade, in de-
tense of his crown and realm
