SALTON SEA IS
RAPIDLY RECEDING
Waters Are Retreating at Rate
Of About a Mile
Yearly.
SETTLERS GRAB THE LAND
Opens Up Largest Area Of Date Pro-
ducinu Land In the country-Bi9
Fish cannery Planned by Arl.
xona Capitalists.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The Salton sea
in the Imperial valley, one Of the
natural wonders Of the West, is con
stantly shrinking. At present 1t IL
about Is miles long and nine miles
wide at the greatest point. During the
last five years the water is said to
have retreated about a mile a year
leaving q salt-encrusted adobe land
which is eagerly seized by homestead
ers. Often their location stakes are
planted far out In the water.
The sea, which lies 1859 feet below
the level of the ocean, abounds in null
let and carp, which local and Arizona
capitalists are planning to utilize by
the creation Of great cannery.
The United States department Of ag-
rlculture reports state that about the
Salton sea lies the largest area Of date
producing land in the country.
Biologists say the Salton "sink," as
1t once was knowR, in prehistoric
times has changed from desert to sea
and from sea to desert 30 times or
more.
Becomes Inland Sea.
For centuries the Colorado river
would flow quietly to the Gulf of Cali
fornia and gradually build up sand
bar across its mouth. Then some
spring flood would cause a washout in
the rivers bank farther north, and
the whole torrent would sweep toward
the Salton "sink." The desert would
become an inland sea, remaining SO
for centuries perhaps, until some
great flood would carve out shorter
way to the ocean. The sea would be
drained and the region relapse into
a desert.
Mud volcanoes abound near the sea,
a short distance inland. They are of
all sizes up to great mounds 10 feet
in height. They all emit steam, some
In q steady stream, others steam and
mud alternately. Many of them give
out a sulphurous gas. At times their
roaring can be heard for miles.
More and more the sea is being
visited by tourists, and during the
heated season, when the temperature
Is from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than
In the valley towns, dances are fire.
Quently held on an old wharf which
once served as a landing place for

OF interest to Tourists.
OF especial interest to the tourists
are the bubbIing "paintpots." AS the
water retreats 1t Is in a state Of con.
slant ebullition. Gases from some I'M
known subterranean source are con-
tinually finding escape through unseen
vents In the bottom. Layer after
aver of colOred pigment is deposited.
The retreating waters have left uncov-
cred acres of this deposit, said by ex-
perts to be fully equal to the dry
sienna and umber colors Of which so
much is imported.
It is thought that the shrinkage Of
he Salton sea will continue until 1t
inally becomes a salt "sink" with a

Colorado should replenish its waters.

IS old FESTIVAL
New Year Celebrations and OBJ
servances Are Of Most
Obscure Origin.

VEN since some I0rg0tteT
savage astrologer came to q
rough conclusion regarding the
length and nature of the di.
vision Of time we call "a year." the
passing of one twelve-month period
and the coming of another has been
the occasion for celebrations, prayers
and the observance Of countless
strange customs. Every race, no mat
ter how crude and inaccurate Its meth
cd of calculation, has had a year of
sorts and has made its passing an
event in the life of the people.
The big dinners held in every hotel
and many homes on New Years eve
are symbolic, though the diners hardly
pause to wonder what is the reality
behind the symbolism, recently OBJ
served writer In the Boston Globe
The ringing Of the bells, the watch
services In churches and houses, the
gifts-are all relics of customs so old
that there is, perhaps, no man who can
say with certainty just how or why
they came into existence.
Probably Oldest Festival.
For the New Years festival Is as
much older than the Christian holiday
which precedes 1t as the Unborn human
instinct to worship something is older
than the religion Of the Carpenter of
Nazareth. Christianity has merely
adopted the New Years festival.
The ancient Romans made Of 1t
general holiday, with sacrifices to
Janus Of the Two-Faces, and gifts and
visits. The gift custom seems to be
universal and is observed to some ex-
tent today.
The old Persians had a custom
which would have been much appreci-
ated just now. They gave their friends
eggs. Presumably, for the custom was
widespread among all classes, the
price of those was much lower in an
cient Iran than in modern America.
In France the custom of New Years
gifts has survived longer than in any
other European nation. The drulds of
Britain presented their friends with
branches Of sacred mistletoe.
Frowned On at First.
The early Christian church rather !
on New Years observances,
probably because Of the ancient Rom
an rites connected with it and with
the saturnalia which preceded it. It's !
first mention as feast in Christian
literature is in Canon II of council
which met in Tours in SGT. Later it
became a recognized festival in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches.
In England and Scotland the festival
has been observed to an extent equaled
IN few other countries. 1t was called
'Hogmanay" in Scotland aad was the

Yes, that is the sort of master

What Does Hogmanay Mean7
Just what the term "Hogmanay'
means is uncertain. 1t is said to be a
corruption of "Homme est ne" Ia man
Is born)' referring to the birth OF
Christ. More plausible theories are
first: that is is derived from the old
Scandinavian word "Hoggu-nott" ap.
piled to the night before the Feast OF
Yule, and second, that it is from "Au
,gui meneZ" Ito the mistletOe go), re-
ferring to the druidical ceremony OF
gathering the plant.
One of the oldest, most picturesque
and certainly the best known custom
was the "Wassail. This phrase, which
is supposed to come from the Saxon
expression ito your health" is famil-
lar to modern carol singers.
Spiced Ale a Feature.
The head Of the household, just be-
fore midnight, assembled his family
around a bowl of spiced ale from
which, as the clock struck II, he
drank the health of each. He then
passed it to the rest, who drank in
turn-not a custom which would rec.
ommend itself to the board of health
during the influenza troubles.
A general handshaking followed the
drinking Of the toasts, after which
all sang gravely:
Weel may we a. be.
Ill may we never see
Here's to the king
And the guide companie.
The whole family then started out
well provided with ale, buns, bread
and cheese to visit their neighbors.
II they met another party on a similar
errand they exchanged drinks from
their ale kettles. Reaching the house
of a neighbOr, they entered with
shouted good wishes. If they were the
first to enter since midnight they had
the FIRST footing" and as such must
give cakes or cheese and ale to every
person in the visited house.
