LAKE YIELDS TONS OF SALT
Natural PLenonienoh in South Austria
liza Constant Source Of Revenue
5. 20. It's owner.

On Yorks peninsula. in South aus
tralla, SAYS n writer in the Wide World.
Is q wonderful lake of pure salt. II
is a huge depression in the earth which
fills up in the winter months. In the
hot summer sun the water quickly
evaporates. leaving thick deposit OF
almost pure salt. Seen from a dit
lance the surface of the lake has all
the appearance of being covered with
q sheet OF ice. That salt crust is so
thick and strong that men and even
carts and pows can traverse 1t with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there Is considerable body of slug
gish water.
After the rays OF the summer sun
have played their part, the salt Is
gathered. II Is just raked into heaps,
and these pyramids of salt are a strlk-
ing feature of the landscape. The salt
Is now shoveed into carts and con-
veyed to various works on the sea-
board, to undergo the process of re-
fining. Gathering the salt Is trying
work on account of the great heat and
the dazzling reflection. Often 1t is
necessary for tile men to wear colored
glasses to protect the eyes. After the
loose salt has been collected from the
surface a special kind of pillow Is run
over II, when another harvest of the
valuable material can be reaped. The
yield Of salt from this strange lake
amounts to several Thousand tons O
year, and it is among the finest OBJ
talnable. The lake IS several square
miles in area and is naturally very
( valuable property.

Put Outside the Law.

The strangest punishment which
still survives in Great Britain under
modern law Is. that of "outlawry''
About ten years ago lawyer charged
with forging check was "outlawed
in the Glasgow high court. BY this
sentence the person of the accused Is
declared forfeit. He cannot bear tes-
tImony in court, nor sue, nor defend
an action. He canno> net on jury
nor vote ut an election, nor act ms tn
tor or guardian TO another person. II
anyone robs him he has no redress.
