GREAT SALT LAKE.
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
Of Lake Huron-that is. about $4,000
square miles-and had it's outlet into
the Port Neuf, the Snake and the Co.
lumbia rivers. This was at least 10000
years ago, but since that time the 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
flow from it's outlet and gradually dried
up from over thousand feet deep to
fifteen feet and from $4,000 square
miles in area to less than LOO.
1t 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 visit its shores
daily in the summer. and many battle
in its waters. The lake contains about
7,OOO.OOO,OOO tons of salt.
When the lake is high the salt is so
diluted that it has gone down to II
per cent When it is low, as it was
not many years ago. it reached satura-
ton which for the mixed ingredients
of the water is 80 per cent.
There is nothing mysterious about it
any more than there would be about a
teacup with teaspoonful Of salt in
the bottom. If tablespoonful Of
water we're put in the cup on the salt
it would taste very salty, but If the
cup were filed to the brim with water
it would not
The salt has come from the water Of
the rivers flowing into it since it
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 it has
accumulated for thousands Of years.

Many Uses Of Sand,

The sands of the sea are singularly
useful. They are Of primary impor-
lance in glassmaking. They have an
important place in warfare, as a bank
of sand twenty inches thick is proof
against modern rifle shots. The cleo
trical properties of sand show that it
has positive electricity, although a rod
of silica, the chief constituent Of sand.
is negative.
The singular drying effect which oc-
ours when stretch of wet sand is
pressed by the foot is due entirely to
an alteration in the piling Of the sand
grains. Normally the grains are close
together. but abnormal piling is
brought about by pressure Of the foot.
the space between the edges Of the
grains being enlarged and the water
drained away. If the pressure Of the
foot Is continued the sand becomes
wetter than ever, the partial vacuum

rounding sand.

Is thought to be due to the imprison-
ment between the grains Of gases from

At a Pre-NuptiaI Luncheon,

Besides the usual love symbols of
hearts, true-lovers' knots, slippers,
etc, at a luncheon given for a Sep
temheT bride-elect, the hostess had a
surprise in the ices, which when
brought on proved to be relative to
some personal occasion in the guests
life. For instance, that for the bride
represented an engagement ring; it
was a circle of rich yellow cream with
a huge solitaire diamond made from
lemon ice. A young girl known to be
much interested in a soldier received
a perfect little miniature officer with
a sword. Another maiden whom it
was suspected had turned down a
prominent society chap had a cold
white heart Of lemon ice. Every one
caught the significance and there was
merry time.

A REPORT made to congress by a
"A commission appointed to'examine
land titles in the District of Columbi
discloses that many lots Of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-
lieve they have a clear title to the
property.
This question Of land titles in the
national capital is not new one. Two
years ago congress created a commits
sion to study it. The commission con-
sisted Of the attorney general, the Sec
retary Of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt Of
Missouri, and one Of the district COM
missioners. The report reveals a hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle Is the outcome of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for good many years after
the capital was laid out.
Private lands were acquired in

starting point is the winner, as well
as the girl who lights the cigarette
for him. A prize may be awarded to
each. The match boxes may be used
as shields to keep the match from
blowing out, but the girls must do it
with no aid from the men. In the ex-
citement some girls had to light three
or four matches before the man could
go on his return and some did not
succeed at all. The other contest
was a needle race. AS in the cigar
cite race four young men ran to the
four girls, each girl having a needle
in one hand and thread in the other.
The man who first returned to the
starting place with threaded needle
in his hand was the victor. 1t was
permitted the men to hold the girls
wrist to steady it as she threaded the
needle.

Now Planning a Substitute for Beef

come to look upon the feeding as a
matter OF course, and State Game
Warden Nowlin Of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last of the great elk herds Is be-
coming rapidly domesticated Several
ranchmen In the Rocky mountain coun-
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the pri-
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barret Littlefield, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market, besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising of venison There are
two other elk preserves IN northwest
ern Colorado. ]. B. Dawson, a Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head Of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
In nearly every state in the Union
the killing of deer is forbidden ex-
cepting in the fall and during a linn
tied period. If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand Is there.

Governments Census of Indian Wards

The Apache Indians employed on

der the act Of June II. 1902. earned
$34. 900 in 1909, and rendered eminent
ly satisfactory service in regions
where, on account Of the heat, a white
man could not have labored. Sheep
herding has given profitable employ
ment to many hundreds Of Navajos
and Pueblos in the past year, and
Pima and Papago Indians, employed
as navvies on the Southern Pacific
railway, earned many thousands Of
dollars. The Sioux farmers have done

An Animal Party.

Rather a novel party was given re-
Gently by mother with two little
children, aged seven and ten. Each
child was asked to come wearing an
article that would indicate some ami
NAL. When all had arrived the chill
dren were to guess all the animals
represented. 1t was an interesting
menagerie, I assure you 1t made a
jolly half hour. Then there was an
animal hunt" All over the lawn, the
porches and on the lower floor of the
large house animal crackers had been
hidden. There were cunning little
baskets given to each one to hold the
spoils; basket and crackers to be kept
and besides there was a prize of those
cunning little animals to be found at
Japanese stores. A toy animal also
made a unique prize and ''Noah's
ark" Best of all the fun was mould
ing animals out of clay. each child
being protected by large towel tied
around the neck and in around the
waist. After that a good elder sister
told animal stories, while the refresh
ments were being made ready. There
was creamed chicken, wee sand
wiches, ice cream with animal-shaped
cookies. Then they had a game
played just like Stage coach, only they
all had the names of animals and
turned around when their names were
called When it came time to go
home the mother came out and said:
Now you are all changed into little
mice and must run away quickly to
f1ud yeur houses before the old cat
gets out" and such a merry scamper-
ing as there was. with Good byes"
and lovely times" from each little
guest.
