Britt, who have staked out claims to
the whole of the land so endowed,
have received flattering offers from
two of the largest paint manufacture
ers in the United States.
As but small portion of pigment
is necessary in the making of a gal
Ion of paint, the constantly flowing
and increasing supply at Salton sea
may be carried to all parts of the
world to fulfill its function. Ten
tative estimates made by scientists
are that the field contains supply
sufficient to furnish the earth's paint
for 200 years.
But one of the chief mysteries of
this particular manifestation of ma
ture is that within two weeks after
the field is skinned by the removal
CT the top of solid or crystallized
slabs, it is again built up to its orig
inal level.
In view of this probable constant
flow, the estimate of the visiting sci
entists may be expanded to a period
of 800 years. The paint spring pro-
due the following colors: Green, deep
red and yellow. Heat, either slight
or extreme, whichever is applied, will
produce other colors as are desired.
Nowhere else on the globe, scien-
lists say, can be found such sight
or such a phenomena of natural
chemistry. The paint comes out of
the ground almost ready for the
brush, an Inexpensive refining pro-
cess being all that is necessary to
reduce it to the proper liquid strength
or heating to produce other colors.
The paint springs-little vent or
bubble holes in the soft, watery soil
are attracting the attention of the
hundreds of visitors to the sea. They
promise to become one of the great
est sightseeing features in the South
west.

Coming tonight to the Palace the
atre is one of the most exciting dra-
mas ever shown on the screen. Its
title is Marriages Are Made and
Miss Peggy Hyland is the star. A
thrilling series of exploits, arising
from the deadly rivalry of brave
American and a crafty German to
win her hand, place the charming
star in constant peril. In addition
is shown a typical example of the
way in which the Kaiser's secret
agents carry on their nefarious work
in America. This photoplay pro
vides not only an absorbing story of
love and war of the present hour, but
timely lesson of the way in which
the foreign spy system is carried on,
and the manner in which it may be
met successfully.
