SALT A-PLENTY IN PERU.

About L hundred miles north of
Lima, near the town of Huacho, is one
of the great curiosltics Of nature, a
salt factory on an automatic plan
When the tide comes in it fills lot
of shallow basins. and the water is
prevented from flowing back into the
sea by closing the gates. The atmos.
phere is so dry that the water evapo-
rates rapidly and leaves sediment Of
salt in an almost pure state, which is
scraped up, packed into sacks aud
shipped TO market
Within the coast Il little farther the
percolaton of sea water through the
porous rocks into pits and hollows has
caused immense deposits OF salt to nc
emulate. The salt is taken out in
blocks six or eight inches square and
sold in that form. As soon as the
salt is eXcavated the water comes in
again and in n wear or two has soiidi-
fed and is ready for the market.

emperor he worked as shipbuilder

workman might aid him in establish

seemed TO delight in dissecting human
bodies He is said to have acted as
executioner on several occasions, one
being when, after the siege of Narya,
certain soldiers disobeyed orders,
whereupon he sentenced them to death
and killed them himself. He was also
wont to hog criminals with his own
hands
He practiced as surgeon in his own
country, where he was accustomed TO
perform amputations rs we'll as to
bleed persons and draw teeth In his
pockets he usually carried a case of

is indicated by the relics preserved an

which we are soon TO have the oppor-

is not lesson in the ordinary sense
of the word, it brings home a wonder
fui moral, but it is told in Il most
graphic and gripping manner. The
piece held the attention of London for
IN entire season, and when produced
in New York last year it met with
equal success.
Peggy Admission, wife OF a member
of parliament, has the idea that her
husband is neglecting her for his work,
while, rs matter Of fact, the hus-
band wishes to rise to greater heights
In order to please his wife She finds
s0lace in the acquaintanceship of Rod
crick Collingwood, and then springs
up an attachment which is purely in
nocent Collingwood really falls in
love with Peggy and on every possible
occasion presses his suit. They plan
a trip TO Switzerland being accom-
panied by Lady Atwill and Lord Eller-
dine. At Boulogne Collingwood ar
ranges TO have Peggy'S baggage placed
on the wrong train. Consequently
they are separated from their friends,
and instead Of going toward SwitZer-
land they soon find themselves in Par
is. There is nothing to do but put up
for the night at a hotel. But COlling-
wood, 1t seems, has told Lady Atwill
of his plan before leaving London.
Lady Atwil has been rejected by Mr..

letter, Hcquaintlng him with the fact

Early next morning Lady Atwell and
Lord Ellerdine arrive, and the quartet
busy themselves with contriving an
excuse, but their attempts only result
in one lie after the other which are
too ridiculous for any one to believe.
Consequently when the husband ar
rives Il short while later he refuses TO
credit any of the statements and casts
his wife aside, telling her that she can

B0LIvlA'S SACRED LAKE.
Over a Billion In Treasure Said to Be
Sunk In Its Muddy Bed


Sunk In Its Muddy Bed.
Legend has it that for more than 500
years the lake of Guativita, at an ele.
walton of 10000 feet in Bolivia, has
not only been held sacred TO the gods
of the Indian tribes, but into its wa
tiers the natives, with solemn ceremo-
ny, used to cast their gold and silver
ornaments, gems and other valuables
as an Offering TO propitiate the evil
spirits. 1t has been estimated that in
this manner treasure to the ame1nt Of
$1,500,000,O00 found its way TO the bot
tom of the lake.
Many attempts were made to recov-
er the treasure The first was by the
Spaniards $50 years ago. They tried
to drain off the waters of the lake, but
their engineering skill was not equal
to the task. When they had drawn
off all but ten feet of the water they
were compelled to give up their pro
ject and take to dredging instead
They did succeed in recovering a small
part of the treasure in this way.
The most modern attempt was made
twenty years ago by company Of
Colombians and Englishmen. BY dig

the side of the mountain they succeed.
ed in draining the lake. but then they
found to their dismay. instead of a
clear bottom, twenty-tSo feet Of mud
covering the treasure. In all this com
pany spent $4,000 and recovered but
$4,000 worth Of gold and jewels be-
fore they, too, abandoned the search.

Children Invite Injury in Play

Several small children on North
Main and East Main streets are an
noying auto drivers to the extreme.
They dart in front of passing autos
and confuse the drivers and are liable
to great injury or death by reason Of
their fun.
This practice is growing among
certain children until it has become
a serious matter. These small boys
do not realize the great danger they
run by darting in front of cars, but
think it great fun to make the driv-
ers twist and turn to avoid them.
Several have become so bold they
wait until the car is almost upon
them, then step aside, darting first
one way and then another.
Parents should teach these inno-
cent little fellows the awful risk they
are running and compel them to be
careful. If the growing tendency OF
these youngsters is allowed to con.
tinue there will be serious injury il
not death on our streets.
If an accident does happen by reas.
on of this kind of amusement among
the children, the parents will be tC

admire the more, the scholar or the
teacher. AS they never have been
separated these many years, so are
they not separated on the lecture
platform. Mrs. Macy will speak first,
telling how she came to teach Miss
Keller, how she first was able to
communicate with the child's mind
through a natural craving for a doll,
then how other words and ideas
came, one by one, and how finally,
one day, the whole system of finger
spelling dawned on Helen Keller and
the barrier to the outside world was
passed
Miss Keller's desire to speak was
the hardest of all to crafty, for every
vocal movement had to be learned
and initiated by the pupil. Only af-
ter 20 years is she able to make her
self heard and understood by large
audiences. But she can speak now
and she will use her new power to
spread cheer and happiness among
the large number of Ashland persons
who will be present at her lecture.
