An Immense Fresh Water Sea Some
Thousands Of Years Ago.

An Immense Fresh Water Sea Some
Thousands Of Years Ago.
In glacial times Great Salt lake was
a magnificent fresh water lake the size
or Lake Huron-that Is, about $1,000
the Port Neuf, the Snake and the Co
lumbia rivers This was at least Il, 600
years ago, but since that time tho eli
mate has become arid, and not enough
water has fallen over the Great basin
to supply that lost by evaporation.
Consequently the lake has ceased to
fiow from its outlet and gradually dried
up from over a thousand feet deep TO
fifteen feet and from $1,000 square
miles in area to less than 100.
It is now seventy miles long and
about thirty wide, but Is beautiful
still and is the home OF myriads OF
sea birds and other waterfowl. 1t is
the great resort Of the people OF Utah.
for from 5000 to 5000 visit1its shores
daily IN the summer, and many battle
In its waters. The lake contains about
1000 O0o,000 tons Of salt.
When the lake is high the salt Is so
diluted that 1t has gone down to II
per cent. When il is low, as it was
not many years ago, 1t reached satura-
ton which for the mixed ingredients
Of the water Is 36 per cent.
There is nothing mysterious about 1t
any more than there would be about
teacup with teaspoonful Of salt In
the bottom. II tablespoonful Of
water were put In the cup on the salt
1t would taste very salty. but il the
cup were filled to the brim with water
It would not.
The salt has come from the water Of
the rivers flowing into it since ii
ceased TO flow from its outlet. All
river water contains salt, and the an
nual evaporation Of from two to FIVE
cubic miles of this water leaves large
quantities of salt behind, and so ii has
accumulated for thousands of years.

the election of Democratic state officers

As a mechanlcian Achlmedes pro-
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter-
esting devices, including the endless
screw, the pump, the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he is said TO have set
fire to the ships Of an enemy's feet
from a considerable distance. The sto-
ry is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the faith
of the people in the man and as indi-
eating the character OF his pursuits.
As engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than magician.
He produced cntapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derricks
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out of water or to
upset 1t, destroying all on board. His
proposed use of the lever meant the
production Of the lnconceivable inven-
tions In machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate of
It's Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, "Glve me whereon
to stand and will lift the earth"
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest Of
early engineers. His lever still moves
the world, and his spirit is inherited
by generations of the men who have
made modern civilization possible
