Great Salt Lake q Mystery.

The inland sea, known as Great
Salt lake, in the northwestern part Of
Utah, about 20 miles from the
city to which 1t has given its name.
has curious habit Of receding
and coming back. For many years
men of science have studied its
rise and fall. but have been unable to
solve the mystery.
Aside from the interest that at
taches to the lake because OF Its
beauty, 1t is valuable as commercial
asset in the production Of salt. In
the spring water from the lake is
pumped into large evaporating ponds
which have been constructed near by.
covering several hundred . acres.
Throughout the summer the desert sun
draws out the water. leaving salt be-
hind. The harvest takes place in Sep
tember. when the salt beds resemble a
vast plain Of blue-white snow.
Much Of the salt is shipped out just
as it is quarried to supply the large
demand for it from the ore reduction
plants and for the millions Of cattle
and sheep that roam over the western
prairies.-Kansas City Star.

COMFORT IN BABY's SMILE
A. Writer Says, Little Children Are
the Stars That illuminate the
Pathway Of Life.

The other afternoon I was going to
the store In the village where live
and saw coming toward me pleas
ant-faced lady leading by the hand
the finest little chap you ever saw.
He couldn't have been more than a
year and a half old, had on jaunty
little cap and clothes to match, had
a sweet, round, serious little face with
great beautiful brown eyes. He was
indeed little fellow to, admire and
love. He was prettier than any pic
ture and looked him full in the face
as he passed, my heart full Of happy
thought at the sight of such charm
ing little man. He looked straight
back at me and, with the same seri-
GUS look in his great eyes, gracefully
saiuted me with two or three gentle
up-and-down motions of his little hand.
l repaid him with a loving and ap-
preciative smile, and was repaid with
an answering smile from the proud
and happy mother. Dear little fellow
l have thought of him score OF
times since, and shall again and again
recall his recognition Of a gray-head-
ed. old man whom he happened to
meet as he was starting where l most
earnestly hope a thousand beautiful
things and splendid experiences await
him.
Could anything after all be more
touching than wave of the hand
from baby just beginning the voy-
age across life's seas to an old voy-
ager whose sea-worn, shallop has al
most reached its last anchorage? The
little children! Unchanged by all the
turmoil and pain and perplexity and
catastrophes of the world, as inno-
cent and hopeful and confident today
as they were in the ancient days when
the world was new with Its record of
sin and sorrow unwritten.,
They are indeed the salt that pre-
serves the race from becoming stale
and hopeless. They are the stars that
illumine the dark night of human life,
the flowers that delight the eye, the
treasures which enrich hundred mil
lion homes and keep alive hope and
sanity and courage in countless hearts.
The little children are indeed the hope
of the world. To them the old and
weary world will pass the torch OF
endeavor and the problems of life and
the burdens of labor and thought, and
their brave young spirits will laugh at
the responsibilities thus forced upon
them and "carry on" till they In turn
pass the burden to other fresh, young
nthuslasts.-Roland Cortheil. in Bos-

PAYS to Remove Gasoline.

From its Investigation Of the effects
Of removing gasoline from natural gas,
the United States bureau Of mines has
concluded that the gas Is not only not
made poorer, but that its consumer is
actually profited by the process. A
gallon Of gasoline burned in the gas is
worth about TX cents, but the con-
densation of the light oil in pipe lines
causes large leakages and lowering OF
pressure-troubles that are mostly
eliminated when the gasoline is re-
moved. AS automobile fuel the ex-
tracted gasoline Is worth about 30
cents a gallon. the several hundred
million gallons obtained yearly from
this source being priced over orii-
nary gasoline on account of the lower
boiling points.

Youthful Union Defender.

William B. Miller Of Bath, N. T.,
thinks he was the youngest soldier in
the Union army during the Civil war.
In 1861, when he was eleven years old.
he ran away from home and became
a drummer boy with the first North
Carolina volunteers, a regiment COM
posed of Union men. He served five
months with this regiment, and then
became drummer with the tenth New
York volunteer infantry with which he
served through the war. He was four
teen years old when he was discharged,
at the grand review In Washington in
1865.

Immense Concrete Blocks.

The largest concrete blocks ever
laid are claimed to be those used in
constructing the North Quay extern
sion of the Port of Dublin. Each
block contained more than 5000 cubic
feet and weighed about $50 tons. By
their use, us designed by the late
DIR. Bindon Blood Story. F. r. s., it
was possible to build the extension
quay without costly Golfer dams, or
extensive pumping. The blocks were
made above high water level. When
sufficiently set, they were lifted by a
floating crane and deposited on a bed
prepared by steam dredging, after
which they were leveled by men work
ing in a large diving bell, entered
through n tube fitted with an air-lock.
Large concrete blocks were similarly
placed for breakwater protection and
for the foundation Of one of the light
houses at the harbor entrance.

him what experience L had had in

the first shot himself. So he told me
that he held me responsible for the
electric instrument connected with the
gun. The house was one Of those big
old mansions for which Charleston Is
famous and there was plenty Of room.
I had three rooms for my family, be-
sides the gunroom. as 1t was called.
