Great Salt Lake Preserves Timbsrs.

O4e9S S91t Lake fEU8SIveo ltmOeSSs
In replacing railroad trestle recently
burned along the north shore OF Great
Salt Lake, engineers have just found
that the piles are still perfectly sound
after 4S years of service. Looking for
the cause, since these were only of local
pine and fir, they found the timbers
we're impregnated throughout with salt
from the lake.
At another point on the lake, 1S.Incb
piles, set 20 years, are similarly pre-.
served With salt which has penetrated to
their very center. Timbers In the South
ern Pacific trestles across Salt Lake,
placed in 1901, appear to be as good as
on the day when the piles were driven.
They have been preserved we'll above
water line by the salt dashed on to them
by the waves, . fact apparently antici-
pated by the engineer who built the
irestles.
The first transcontinental telegraph
line, built before the railroad, extended
west from Salt Lake City through the
prosperous mining camps of Eureka,
Austin, and Virginia City. When the
railroad was built, the telegraph line
was transferred to follow its right Of
way and the old poles sawed of at the
ground. An engineer who recently ex-
amined the butts left In the salt desert
near Fish Springs found that, although
fifty years had passed since the poles
were ont of. the old butts were perfect.
~ sound.
Telephone and electric companies 10
the Salt Lake valley have used the local
salt for preserving poles. When set up,
about Is pounds Of salt is placed around
the pole on the ground. This method
can not be used, however, when the pole
is on or near lawn, or In any place
where vegetation is desired.
1t is pointed out that the reason why
the waters Of Salt Lake act as a strong
preservative, as distinguished from ocean
waters, Is because the lake water Is 30
much saltier, being practically a satu-
rate solution. Preservation with salt is
OF no use In ocean piling against the at
tack of teredos and other marine bOrers.
Experts in the forest service who have
been investigating the preservative treat.
ment of timber offer the suggestion that
Ties and poles which have been immers.
ed for some time In the waters Of the
lake ought to be impervious to decay II
the salt is not leached out by the action
OF the elements. II has been suggested
that this can be guarded against, for ex.
ample, by painting the butt Of the pole
with coat of creosote which will keep
ont the moisture and keep in the salt.

Mechanism Of the Ear.

The human eur is a delicate piece OF
mechanism. That which we ordinarily
designate as the ear is, after all,
only the mere outer porch of a series
Of winding passages which lead from
the world without to the world within.
Certain of these passages are filled
with liquid, besides having membranes
stretched like parchment curtains
across the corridor at different points.
When a sound wave strikes these they
are turned into vibrations and made
to tremble like the head Of drum
does when struck with stick or with
the fingers. Between two Of these
parchment-like curtains a chain OF mi
mute bones extends, which serves to
tighten or relax the membranes and
communicate vibrations to them. In
the innermost place Of all a row OF
white threads called nerves stretch
like the strings Of piano from the
last point from which the tremblings
reach, passing thence inward to the
brain.
