Great Prehistoric Lake.

The large prehistoric lake which
flooded a number of the valleys of
northwestern Nevada at very recent
geological date but has now passed
away was named Lake Lahontan, In
honor of Baron La Hontan, one of the
early explorers of the headwaters OF
the Mississippi. The lake covered ap-
proXimately S.400 square miles at its
greatest expansion, and in its deepest
part, the present site of Pyramid lake,
1t was at least $50 feet deep-that is,
its surface stood approximately 800
feet above the present water surface of
Pyramid lake. The ancient lake had
no outlet except the one that led
straight up, its waters being dissipated
entirely by evaporation.
A large area few miles north OF
Winnemucca is covered with sand
dunes formed since the disappearance
OF Lake Lahontan. The dunes are fully
seventy-fve feet thick, and theil
sleeper slopes are on the east side, thus
indicating that the whole vast field Of
sand is slowly travelling eastward
This progress has necessitated a mum
ber of changes IN the roads in the
southern part of Little Humboldt val
ley during recent years.-U. S. Geolog
ical Survey.

Criminal Waste of oas.

American natural gas is already far
in its decline. Criminal-insanely crin-
inal-is the only characterization OF
the former waste of this resource.
Street lights burned all day because 1t
was cheaper" to let them burn than to
shut them of. Towers of flame often
advertised new oil fields, as 1t cost
too much to market the gas. Factories

Pencil and Notebook.

There is satisfaction and very
certain educational value as well in be-
ing able to record ones impressions by
rough notes and sketches and to show
others ones ideas in the same manner.
Every boy, even though he possesses
no talent whatever for drawing. may
learn to roughly sketch an outline If he
properly develops simple sense of
proportions. The noting of interesting
facts, read over often more than once
later, fixes them in the memory and is
good practice in expression if one tries
constantly to set forth these notes
clearly and correctly. Try it.

Effects of AlkaIi on Drain rile.

AS the result of series Of expert
ments conducted by the United States
bureau of standards 1t has been found
that the alkaline soils found in some
sections of the west are destructive to
cement drain tile unless the tile is of
the best material and has been made
with the greatest care, says Popular
Mechanics. Well made tile of mix
ture as rich as one part cement to
three parts sand and stone combined
is apparently not affected by the al
kali, but tile made of leaner mixture
than this is likely to disintegrate with
in short time when placed In sOD
having strong alkaline content. These
conclusions are based on tests extend
ing over period of one year.
