The DEAD SEA.

Old Popular Beliefs About Il That Are
Not Founded on Fact.
The Dead sea is a remarkable lake,
forty-six miles long and from i've TO
nine miles wide. situated in the south
east OF Palestine and known from the
time OF Jerome C34O-420 A. d. as the
Dead" sea. because no fsh Of any
kind have ever been found In it's wa
ters. Its surface. which is lower than
that OF any other body of water known.
is 1892 feet below the level OF the
Mediterranean. At its northern end
it has a depth OF about 1900 feet.
while the water at the southern ex-
tremity is only from three to twelve
feet deep.
The Dead sea is fed by the Jordan
from the north. but has no outlet, the
water being apparently carried OF by
evaporation. The water of the Dead
sea contains large amount Of the
salts Of magnesia and soda: rs a con
sequence its specific gravity is high.
and bathers fioat in It with ease.
The popular notions that the Dead
sea exhales noxious vapors and that
birds cannot fiy over its surface aud
remain unharmed are not founded on
fact
According to tradition. Sodom aud
Gomorrah. THE cities Of the plain.
stood on the site now occupied by the
Dead sea. This view. however. is no
longer entertained. and It is now con-
sidered certain that the Dead sea ex-
listed in its present state during the
days Of Abraham and even much ear
lier.--New York American.

Sens os Great Men.

1t Is VOL that poets descendants
should benefit BY their ancestry, if
only TO the extent Of dinner, for
the inheritance Of a great name has
It's drawbacks. Tennyson bore this IN
mind when selecting a name for his
first born. Hallam, the historian, who
was the boys godfather, remarked be-
for the christening. II dislike the use
OF surnames as Christian names. Why
not call him Alfred instead OF Hal
lam ?"
What ~ he should turn out a fool?"
was the tactful reply. Lord Tennyson's
record as colonial governor shows that
his fathers fears were not Justified.
Turning 10 another sphere we find
the second Duke Of Wellington handl-
capped through life by his fathers
fame. Bernal Osborne once asked him
why. with his undoubted talents. he
made no effort to shine IN public af-
fairs The Duke replied: 'Tf you
had sat go long as / have under the
shade OF a great tree you would be as
cOlorless as am. London Chronicle.

NEW YORK, May 14-By June 1 for
mer Senator William A. Clark, Of
Montana, will formally open his home
in New York city, the most expensive
private residence in the United States
The fact that a man has built a home
and is going to invite a number Of
friends to inspect it's beauties Is not
very startling. as a rule, but when the
house cost a total of $7,0O0,00O to build
and $6000,000 more was spent in furn-
ishing it then il comes under the head
Of some house. Ten years ago Mr..
Clark planned a New York home, Civ
ing the architect fun power to turn out
a palace among palaces. There has
never been a private residence in this
country subjected to SO much discus
sion. Pages have been devoted in
magazines to finding flaws in the
lines" the towers and the general ap
pearance of the house. It has been
called rich mans folly thousand
times, but Mr. Clark has gone ahead
pouring his millions into the home
until now his task has reached an end
Mrs. Clark has been spending the ma.
Iority Of her time in Paris. and if the
plans Of the mining man do not mis-.
carry she will arrive in New York
June !, ready to take an active part
in the social world But here q
stumbling block may await the mar
of millions and his wife, for the inner
circles have been quoted as saying they
could take no part in launching a wo-
man in social circles with $4,000 OOf
worth of furniture. my word" Harry
Lehr said one day, Il would be in
mortal terror. Think Of knocking ovel
a vase that cost S2O,OOO!"

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE cleve-
land Press to-day publishes the follow
ing from stan correspondent:
WASHINGTON. d. c., May 1.-the
whole truth as TO the circumstances
surrounding the preparation Of the
clean Bill of health which President
Taft gave to Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger. In Taft's now famous letter
dated SeHptember 1s, 19o9 is now made
public for the first time.
For weeks there has been moro than
a suspicion in the minds of the at
torneys who arc prosecuting the Ball
finger inquiry before the congressional
committee. that Taft had very few of
the facts before him when he publicly
exonefated Ballinger, and over his sig
nature as President assured the Ameri-
can people s,,.t ~ have examined the
whole record most carefully and hav,
reached q definite conclusion"
Up to within few days. however
the attorneys for the prosecution had
not guessed as 60 the amazing truth
which is that the President Of the
United states not only could not have
examined the whole record most care
fully" but that the very statement that
Taft issued TO the people of
the United states bxonerating
his Secretary Of the Interior was
prepered, in large measure, by oscar
Lawier, law officer of the Interior De-
partment in collaboration with Balling-
er and the high officials of the depart
ment. Having written their own acquit.
tai Ballinger and his fellow officials pre-
sented teh document to the President of
the United States and the President
adopted their decision as his own. over
to the limit OF using much Of the sam,
language.
Thus did our judicial President per.
form n.s great duty as judge between tn,
ninety million American people and Sec
retary of teh Interior Balinger in a mat
ter involving the question as 20 whether
the Morgan syndicate was {,
be presented with public lands IN Alaski
containing millions Of tons of coal, valued
at hundreds of millions OF dollars.
Thus was Ballinger, Secretary of IN,
Interior, appointed by Tart. exonerated.
Thus was G avis a conscientious an,
able subordinate In the Interior Depart
ment, who out of sense of duty. apprlse,
the president of the facts. fred from IN,

Being asked by Congress to submit th,
'whole record" to the investigating com
mittee. Taft sent over a mass of docu
ments and nhs that have since beer
printed IN over nine hundred printed page
and which contain, in all. over half
million words.
