GREAT SALT LAKE.
Its Water Ia Saline Simply Because II
Has No Outlet.

Great Salt lake has no outlet. The
Jordan river, which enters 1t from the
south, is the outlet OF Utah lake. Bear
river. coming fran the north, carries
the outflow from Bear lake. The wa
tiers OF Utah and Bear lakes and of
Jordan and Bear rivers are fresh, and
30 is the water Of Weber river, the
third great tributary of Great Salt
lake, but the lake into which the three
rivers flow is saline. 1t is saline be-
cause Il has no outlet
The fresh waters OF the rivers con-
tain some saline matter, but the guam
tity is too small to be discovered by
taste.
AS stated by the chemist, In parts
per million, the quantity seems minute,
but when account Is taken OF the total
volume of water brought by the
streams to the lake in year their bur
den of saline matter is found to be
really great, amounting annually to
more than 100000 tons.
Year by year and century by century
the water which they pour into the
lake is evaporated. but the dissolved
solids cannot escape In that way and
therefore remain.
They have accumulated until the
lake water is approximately saturated,
holding nearly as much mineral matter
as ii can retain in solution. The lake
contains over 5,000OO0,00O tons of COM
mon salt and 000,000,000 tons of glau-
Der salt Sodium sulphate) us well as
other mineral matter.-New York Tele-

Excitement.

People who easily get excited don't
usually live nearly so long as people
who keep calm. Excitement, In fact.
wastes the vitality and affects ones
health to very great extent. This is
true, too, of all who seek excitement.
whether physical or mental Excite
ment makes the pulse beat above the
ordinary rate. and ones reserve of en-
ergy is used up so much the quicker
Occasional excitement, however. Is
very good for ones health, especially
where the pulse is slow, but the natu-
raj condition OF the body should be one
Of calmness and regularity.

The Bull of PeriIIus.

Perillus of Athens is said to have in
vented for Phalaris, tyrant of Agrigen-
tum, $40 B. c., a brazen bull which
opened on the side to admit victims
who were to be roasted by the fire
which was built underneath. The dy-
ing groans of the sufferers resembled
closely the roaring Of a mad bull. Pha-
Iaris greatly admired the invention and
by way of test roasted the inventor
first Later the populace rose in rebel
lion and burned phalaris.

THE FIRST SKYScRAPER.
Il Was Designed by Savoy Architect
Three Centuries Ago.

Three Centuries Ago.
| Credit for the first skyscraper built In
this country is generally conceded TO
Chicago. II was built in the loop dis
trict" of that city in 1886, from plans
by Holabird & Roche. The first exam
pie of lofty building In New York city
was the structure at 80 Broadway, de-
signed by Bradford Lee Gilbert in
1888. A few years later both these
wonders became insignificant and prac.
tically forgotten because they were SO
greatly outdone by succeeding sky
scrapers. But these were not the in.
itial efforts, for skyscraper was de.
signed nearly three centuries ago,
many generations before the discovery
of the steel cage system of this day.
Jacques Perret, an architect of
Chambery, Savoy, is the accredited au-
thor of plans for an eleven story build
ing, 3G1 feet In height, which must
have had twice the space between
floors, for today eleven stories are
crowded within height of 100 feet.
Perret's building was planned to be
166 feet long and 40 feet wide, with
supporting walls twelve feet thick at
the base.
While never executed, the project of
Perret in many ways was remark
able prophetic vision. Evidently it was
intended for dwelling purposes. for in
the project he wrote. This

modate comfortably 500 people. New

A Mistake Somewhere.

A helpful friend recently requested
us to write funny piece about game
we used to play In boyhood's glad
days called hiding In the barn" He
alleged that part of the gang hid and
the rest searched for them, and when
they were found all hands jumped and
yelled most gleefully This. he tried
to remind us, was very, very funny.
Either our memory is failing or we
have lost our sense of humor, for as
we recollect it our father did the hid
ing and we jumped and yelled. And
it does not seem amusing to us even
yet.-Kansas City Star.

CIDER IS ALL RIGHT,
 IF ITS NOT TOO HARD

{. Little Rock, Jan. 19.-Cider which has not more than one half of one ner cent. of alcohol in it's composition, will pass muster by the Arkansas M,ti-saloon league. Anything over that will cause the arrest and prose cution of the vender.
 Hilarity and happiness was so evi- dent about ccld drink stands of Little Rock and Argenta that Senator T. J. White, the head of the prohibition forces, instituted an investigation. The wholesale concern Supplying the cider asserted that it had purchased the cider under the representation that it was non-alcoi1olic beverage. The wholesalers then sent a speci- ment to local chemist, who found over eight per cent of alcohol in it. The wholesalers spent good portion oi Tuesday collecting the barrels which had been sold about the city, and they will be returned to the manufacturers, with the unused con- versation producer.
 Former Congressman Minor Wal lace, now> lecturer for the prohib- ition fcrces, spent Tues sday in Little Rock in consultation with Senator White, and 1t is possible that he will assist in the prosecution of the "boot- leggers" who are daily being arrest ed in various parts of the states
 "We hardly ne2d detectives or special prosecutors" said Senator White Tuesday, "for the regular of- flcers of the law are vigilant and they are letting few violators get away. Their display of assistance Is most gratifying, and we are receiving CO., operation in places where we actual ly anticipated trouble.''
