Just west of Promontory Point sta
ton, Utah, is pond--cut off from
the Great Salt lake by the railroad
embankment. At times of high water
in the lake this reservoir fills by per-
collation. through the embankment, but
during the summer this water Is con-
centrated to brine by evaporation.
The deep-pink color OF the brine is a
phenomenon that appears in salt
ponds generally when certain con.
centration is reached. In the salt
ponds OF San Francisco bay this color
is duo to a certain bacillus which
lives in saturated 5rines and also in
the heaps of salt as 1t is piled for
drainage and shipment. Prohibitive
to life as such an environment might
be considered, strong natural brines
are, in fact. inhabited by number of
minute organisms-animals as we'll as
plants. The pink color disappears in
winter or when fresh water Is intro
duced into the poind. The Southern
Pacific company has done some ex-
perimental work on preserving piles
and railroad ties by soaking them in
the pond.

there was an increase of 9,59S in the

How Wall Paper Affects
the Air We Breathe

- URPRisING as II may seem,
the condition of the walls,
- whether covered with paper
or whitewashed. has an important
effect on a rooms ventilation.
This was proved by some recent
interesting experiments with two
rooms. The walls of one room
were covered with n light paper
which had become somewhat soiled
by the lapse Of time. Those Of the
other were whitewashed.
The results OF the experiments
showed that the proportion OF car
bonic acid remaining In the air was
appreciably less In the room with
the whitewashed walls. Taking
into consideration not only this,
but the amount OF humidity and all
the other factors, the ventilation
OF the whitewashed room was
found TO be II per cent better than
that OF the one with paper on the
walls.
Other parallel experiments we're
made 10 ascertain the effect Of
different methods OF ventilation.
One pair OF experiments shows the
effect OF opening wide and closing
the door once every half hour dur,
ing a seven.hour period. The ven
tilation Was improved about 10
