In his description of the ancient
Lake Lahontan, In Nevada, |. c. Rus
sell writes
The scenery on the larger playas is
peculiar and il usually desolate In the
extreme but Is not without its charm
IN crossing these wastes the traveller
may ride for miles over perfectly
level floor, with an unbroken sky line
before him and not an object in sight
to cast shadow on the ocean-like ex-
panse.
Mirages, which may be seen almost
every day on these heated deserts, give
strange fanciful forms to the noun
tans and sometimes transngure them
beyond recognition. A pack train
crossing the desert few miles distant
may appear like some strange caravan
or grotesque beasts fording shallow
lake, the shores Of which advance az
one rides away. The monotony of mid
DAY ON the desert is thus broken by
elusive forms that are ever changing
and suggest thousand fancies. which
divert the attention from the fatigues
Of the journey.
The cool evenings and mornings In
these arid regions, when the purple
shadows OF distant mountains are
'hrown across the plain, have charm

skies, and the profound stiffness Of the
night In these solitudes is always i'm

USING AUTO FUMES
TO KILL RANCH MICE

The problem of mice determination.
which has been a source Of much ex-
perimentlng by farms in the Love
lock valley, may have been solved
permanently by Barney Wiley, who
made a successful experiment last
week on the Anker ranch in Lower
valley. He used the gas from an
automobile for killing off the pests,
says the Lovelock Miner.
Some time ago he heard OF the ex-
pertinent and determined to try it out
on the farm. Connecting a hose to
the exhaust of his machine, he al
lowed the engine to run while he
turned the fumes down a mouse hole.
Letting the car smoke, he was able
to seal the other holes connecting
with the one in which the hose was
inserted The effectiveness of the
scheme was demonstrated when the
holes were dug down for way and
the dead mice found.

The postmaster general renews the
recommendation made in his last

SURPRISES OF $3.s0O,000 for the year
1913. s3.500,000 for the year 1914, and
s5.200000 forthe year 1918 were paid
into the general fund of the treasury,
making total during the past four
years OF s12,500,000.
But for the business depression
occasioned by the European war the
department would have undoubtedly
secured a surplus of not less than
$ls,O0O,0OO during the four years
ended June 30, 1916. This is in
marked contrast with the deficits for
the eight years of the two preceding
