Salt From, Earth Floors

In a Southern woman's recollections
Of Civil war times, novel means of
obtaining salt resorted to in those days
is described.
"a common practice" she says. con
the part of people who sadly missed
salt as an Ingredient OF their food, was
to dig up the earth floors of the smoke
houses and by a sort of distilling
process get out of the earth the salt
that had dripped from the pork and
other meats that had been cured In
the smokehouses." This made a fair

Italian Aqueduct
Longest in World

The Apulian aQueduct building in
Italy will be, when completed, the
longest in the world. though not Of
the greatest capacity. Several Of the
provinces which form the regions
known as Apulia and Basilicata have
suffered through the ages from lack
of water; and their geographical posi-
ton and geological formation are such
that the only remedy lay in bringing
water to them from the western side
of the Apennines.
A law providing for the construction
of the aqueduct was enacted in 1902;
and the work was begun In 1905 &C.
cording to plans prepared by Italian
engineers. The undertaking entailed
the building of main aqueduct about
40 miles long, of which over sixty
miles had to be carried through the
Apennines in tunnels. From the main
aQueduct spreads network Of sub
sidiary branches having total length
Of 1000 miles. This will carry water
to five provinces and supply the needs
of 100000 people, Compressed Air

In an instant the girl was at his

simply.
He look at her curiously. Then he
shrugged his shoulders. An angry
flush came to the girls cheeks, but
she went on with him. Not word
passed between them during the en-
tire hour required to climb the steep
side of the mountain and come under
Indian Head cliffs. Here they stood

resting. Again Judith saw Lee glance
at her curiously. He had not sought
to accommodate his swift climbing to
a girls gait and yet he had not dis

Before she came to the spot where
Bud Lees horse had been shot she
came upon Lee himself. A rifle across
his arm, he was looking up at tia

He showed no surprise at seeing her

suggested Judith.
He nodded When he offered no
further remark but sat staring up at
the cliffs, Judith asked:
''What else have you learned by
coming back down here? Anything?"
"There were two men, anyway. I'd
guess, three. The one who stuck up
Charlie and then drifted while the
drifting was good. Then the two

'How do you know that?"
"My horse that was shot," he ex-

Judith saw what he meant now. AT
