Economical Handling Of Salt.

The salt harvested in the Saline
valley of California is now transported
to Swansea, the nearest shipping
point, 26 miles away, by means of an
overhead tramway, which was recent
ly completed at cost of $500, 900. The
material is conveyed in buckets, and
the hourly capacity Of the line is 20
tons. A very interesting feature of the
line is the fact that the downpull of
the buckets as they make a descent
Of the mountain is utilized in raising
the buckets over the next grade. Salt
has been mined there for years, but
the amount of the product has been
limited to the local consumption, as
the expense Of getting the salt to the
shipping point by mule power has
been pEohibitivA

STRONGEST TRAIT IN NATURE
Motherhood Most Highly Developed
Among the Creatures Of the
Lower Creation.

The contention that the hen is the
most compassionate thing in creation
is strikingly illustrated by a case OF
motherhood in nature related in Coun-
try Life. A correspondent tells how
in farmyard> were two puppies for
whom the mother had no affection, so
an old hen took pity on them, and
when she went to roost they followed
her. Squatting in corner of cart
shed, she lifted a wing and the two
youngsters crawled under for the
night, her chicks clumbering on the
backs of the puppies
AS a proof of how strongly mother
hood is developed in the lower crea-
ton, two incidents occurred recently.
A cat, having carried away a young
crow from its nest, was attacked by
six older birds and killed. The other
incident was where hen blackbird
held at bay cat. The cat hid behind
some bushes, and not three yards in
front Of the bush the bird stood cluck-

USED BY THE ScANDINAWANS
Nautical Terms Common Today Are
Easily Traced to the Days of
the Old Vikings.

When we say ship is bound for a
certain port or homeward bound, we
are using, not the past particle, as
we might think, of the English verb to
bind, but of a Scandinavian word
meaning to prepare, to get ready-a
word which in the form of "boun" still
lives on in northern dialects.
'Billow" is probably Scandinavian
word which survived in one of the
northern or eastern dialects, which
still preserve so many Danish words.
It made its way into southern English
in a literary standing by its use by
Spenser and Shakespeare.
wake" for the track of a ship is
another Scandinavian word preserved
in dialect. Its original meaning, as
Professor Skeat tells US, was that of
an opening in the ice, especially the
passage cut for ship in a frozen lake
or sea, and then, from being applied
to the smooth watery track left by the
ship after its passage through the ice,

Historic Vessel In FISHING Fleet.

The sailing Of the schooner Thomas
F. ]. Hewlett from Philadelphia for
southern fishing grounds recalls the
history of the vessel. The schooner,
once the Carmita, was used with the
schooner Wanderer during Civil war
times as a slave ship. She ran from
the West Indies to the United States.
During one Of her slave-carrying
voyages, the Carmita was fired upon
and captured of Charleston, S. c., by
a United States government vessel. A
short time afterward the Wanderer
met the same fate. Both vessels were
taken to Charleston and offered for
sale by the government, and the pres
ent owners bought the vessels.
The Carmita was rebuilt in 1910 at
