GREAT SALT LAKE.

Interest in the Gradual Subsidence. The gradual subsidence for maj.y years of the water in the Great Se It lake has been noted with interest by scientists and with apprehension by the people of the surrounding country. Islands in, the lake and the sides of mountains around* it indicate that t ie water was once some 800 feet deepjr than at present, when the maximum depth is only some forty feet. That what was once an inland sea and even now is a large lake will disappear in the not distant future is the general belief of scientists. While they are practically one in this conclusion they differ as to the causes. An article in the Scientific American gives the result of recent investigations. Tor thiry years the lake level has been failing, with only one period of rising. The rate of fall is progressive and calculations based in measurements for sixteen years indicate that the lake will be dry in about forty years at most. According to a calculation based on the present cubic contents as compared with the confer to eighteen years ago the ’Water will disappear in twenty-five years. To account for this tendency three theories are presented evaporation, irrigation and the existence of a subterranean outlet. Of course the last is pure conjecture. Evaporation would account for much of the depletion, though how much is cot known, iml'it docs not explain satisia uorily the yearly fluctuations nor the rapid rate at v. h/Ay.the water has to.nn c<l in rr.ent years. As to irrigation, the Mori’Y.ttv began tout s>ty yo.i « ago, hut i f is cnly within the las;-twenty odd yo<)i-.s that it has’he n rcso •.; t to o.i such a large scale Thera would seem to he some convection be wi *.n this fact in' .lit attendant fact that it is wulnn tins *'■ me period that the depletion of the wirer supply has been most rapid. Ti.e r< V Jon of cause and effect is not, Lcnever, iso obvr.'u< as to be ccmclasive. Whatever the cause, one elTect will be, it appears, that pec.pie Mill ah e wo! v,itr.ess the end of a great physical change that has been in progress no cue can guess how long. One of nature's marvelous mysteries will sesu disappear.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Young Sportsman.

From Cyrus Townsend Brady’s fisb-ifiS-sory in the July Lippeneott’s Magazine we quote# the following incident: “The baby was an apt pupil. In about ten seconds be got a fierce bite. He pulled frantically, and out of the wa! /r eame a big sucker about a foot long! I don’t know which was the more surprised, the sucker or the baby. The infant yelled like .nad and dropped the red. We did not know just why lie yelled —fear or excitement, perhaps both. Anyway, J.m grabbed the pole and I grabbed Jim with my free hand, so we did not all slide into the brn./k again. We gave the ’ll- pole again and he finally landed tne iii a high a”d dry on the bank. As it lay flappi. g ftftd wf*lggling in the grass he eyed it gleefully and shouted and screamed and clapped his hanus with triumphr it joy. We did too. It was as much 1 in as golng-to-tbe-circus-witn-the-ch. - dren used to be. “We all made so much noise over this first capture at t-.at place that tlieie

was no use in try ig it there any''long-~ er, so we unhook d the fish, put it :n the fishing-bag s ;ng over the baby’s shoulder, and stated off^again. “This time we tound a likely trouthole. We were most anxious to have the baby catch a troui if possible. f,« we fixed things as before and cautioned him to be very quiet, as trout do not like noise. He was as still as a mouse after we got him planted in his barrel again, rod in hand It was a bad day for trout, but we almost had one, at least we thought so, when the baby suddenly broke the exciting silence ’>y a frightened howl! ‘Sh-sh-sh!” I said, but the howling only increased in volume. ‘What’s the matter?” asked Jim. ’Dis fish is bitin’ me in de stummickl’ wailed the baby, pointing to the bag, which had slipped around so that it hung before his /waist-band. The flab he had caught and placed in the bag had suddenly commenced wriggling, which had scared -he young angler out of his wits. Of course, we lost that trout.”

That Toothpick Fiend. The man who will use a toothpick in street cars doesn’t “belong.” We witnessed an incident on a car the other day, in which one of these nuisances recevied the proper squelching. He was hanging by a strap and w’ts absently, even peacefully, picking his teeth. Presently the woman who was seated in front of him touched him. “Sir,” she said pleasantly, “would you mind going out on the platform to pick your teeth? I’m not at all curious to know what you had for dinner.” The fellow left the car immediately, while the conductor rang up two faros by mistake.—Rochester Herald.

“You know Jones, who was reputed so rich? Well, he died the other day, and the only thing he left was an old Dutch- c’pck.” “Well, there’s one good thing about it; II won’t be much trouble to wild up his estate!” —New Orleans TtmosDemocrat. •

wept bitterly. “I shouldn’t have been plowing,” he wailed. “I should have been notified in rwimmlng.” Sadly he realized that it was almost Impossible to follow the fashions. —• New York Sun.
