NESTLED IV THE BOTTOM OF A ll\- SIV WITHOUT OITLET. Anri i'll t Shore l.inrs I'lint Reveal Ureal l.'lin■■ u.vn That Have Taken lMnee in the lliMnrtc Pniit. Ralph S. Tarr in the Independent. The Great Salt lake Is a very shallow but extensive sheet of water on the sur face of a desert plain. Surrounding It in part are mountain ranges, themselves bar ren and desolate. The lake in nestled In the bottom of a true basin without out let, a part of the Great Basin. So slight is the rainfall that the basin cannot fill and overflow to the sea. The rain water evaporates in the dry air, and the streams that flow down from the mountains suf fered the same fate even before the Mor mons came to spread their waters out over the land to transform it frcm desert to garden. Each stream on the land gathers a lit tle sa t on ils Journey, and since this can not evaporate as the water does, it re mains behind. Erom the mountains and from the light rains of the desert enough water Is supplied to transform a part of the plain to a lake; but in the dry air the evaporation is so great that only a small part of the supply remains to, form the lake. Thus little by little the lake wa ter receives its supply of salt and there fore becomes salter and salter. This Is the cause of most salt lakes. Hut the Great Salt lake has not always l*en salt. From almost any point in Salt I.ake City and along the shores of the lake one can easily detect lines extending along the mountahi slopes. They are es sentially horizontal, and extend ond above the other In parallel belts. It is easy to visit some of these lines; in fact, some of them may be reached by the electric cars. Upon examination they are found to be in the main gravel terraces, linear, fiat-topped benches on the mountain flanks, reaching the mountains in the rear and ending in the opposite direction in a steep terrace slope. They are made of sand and gravel from water-worn and well-rounded pebbles. Where streams come down from the mountain the ter races broaden markedly, and in places they are partly replaced by steep cliffs of rocks on some projecting spur of the mountain. Such cliffs are usually faced by a narrow terrace of gravel. The cowboys riding over these ter races recognized them as beaches; early explorers also referred to them as evi dence of former higher water in tile Salt I.ake basin; and Gilbert, as a result .of his careful study of them, proved that this interpretation was correct. Any who wish to know the details of this history must refer to Gilbert’s works previously men tioned; and 1 may add that his account of Ills studies is so clearly anil beautifully wr.tten that any educated man can read ami understand tils description. These ancient shore lines are almost as perfect ns one would find along the coast of one of our gieat lakes, If the. waters cou’d he withdrawn firm It, so as lo re veal not only the beaches and cliffs that rise ahoy? water, but also the wave-built forms below. The broad terraces opposite the streams are deltas, the narrow ter races are beaches, bars and spits, while the cliffs represent the cutting work of the waves cn exposed points. In the arid climate they have wasted away so slight ly that they stand to-day in almost as much prefeellon of form as when the waters first withdrew from them. One cannot mistake their meaning. They tell of a former great lake to which Gilbert has given the name I.ake Bonneville, in recognition of the work of the explorer Bonneville. When this expander] ancestor of threat Salt Lake reached its highest stage it overflowed across Red Rock Pass, through Marsh Creek valley into the Co lumbia. and Its waters were fresh. The area of Lake Bonneville was then about 19,7.i0 square miles, and its maximum depth about 1/tfjO feet, the present Mor mon temple now standing where the wa ter was 800 feet deep and the entire low land in the neighborhood of Salt Lake City being under water. The tiers of shore lines, together with other phenomena of the region, show that th's stage of rise to a place of over flew was but one of a succession of events in the recent geological history of the region. In the first place the basin was dry and contained little, If any, water. The basin then began to till; hut the wa ter did not rise to a point of overflow. An other period of aridity succeeded this,un til the basin was again nearly, if not en tirely, dry. Then came the rise, which continued until the rim of the basin was reached and an overflow to the sea es tablished. Blnce then the climate bus heen growing progressively more arid even to the very present. In fact, it seems from good evidence that the lake is still diminishing in area. Little can be said about the time involv ed in these change*. Ollbert finds evidence lhat the first arid period was longer than either of the two succeeding periods of aridity, and that the second was longer than the present urid period, while the first rise of water appears to have lasted fully live times as long as the second dur ing whtoh the lake overflowed. What this means in years cannot be stated; but It is doubtless to he estimated In tens of thousands of years. The last rise cannot have been far In the past, for the shore lines which record It are now so distinct; and all of the changes belong to the re cent stages of geological history. Nor can we at present tell much about the reason for these remarkable changes ; in climate. The rise of trie lake i rej re-rn s oih r a period of grater rain j fail, or lessened evaporation or both; for It tells of the tranafoi matlen cf a desert r. on of interior drainage to one of suf .’ieient lairfall, or sufficiently diminished j vaprration. to permit of overflow to the j sea. N t only do we find evidence of vast J changes of climate here, hut other des ert regions, both in the Great Basin and in ether parts of tbc world, tell of simi j lar changes. Enough evidence has been j a< cumulated here and elsewhere to prove that the climate of many regions which we know is different npw from what it was in the past, and to give fair basis for prediction that it will be different still j in the future. Whether these changes- are din? to varla ! lion in land level, to the formation or re- I move! of land barriers which interfere with !><**• movement of wind currents, to the changes in ocean currents or to other purely geographic variations, or •whether they are 10 i>e ascribed to astronomical causa* of known or unknown origin can no* 1* act tied now. Hypotheses arc not lacking, and ejtch hypothesis has its a<V voeates; but all arc hypotheses sti.l. Man has lived for too short a time on the earth, and the knowledge of fact that he has acquired is far too limited, to war rant any conclusion upon this as upon many other large questions. The fact of change in climate must be accepted ns h fact amply proved* the cause of the change must remain among the great problems for the future to solve. It is interesting to note, however, that the changes in the climate of the Salt Lake region harmonize with the climatic changes that have been worked out by the studies of the glacial deposits of the Bast. There were two notable advances of the ice. as there were two notable rises of the lake waters. Not only this, but there is known to have been extensive glaciation among the mountains of the West; and, moreover, that this glaciation occurred at the same time that the lakes were higher. Tills suggests that whatever caused the glacial lon of the glacial period also*caued the rise in the lakes. Heavier precipita tion in the form of snow among the moun tains, and lessened evaporation because of the cold, would suffice to account for the rise in the lake; but this does not remove the difficulties of accounting for the changes, for what caused the heavier precipitation in the form of snow and the greater cold? There Is evidence of Other interesting changes in conditions registered in this Held. During this lake htetory volcanoes belched forth lava and ashes, and some of them have been active so recently that their coties and lava are still Qtesh, as if just formed. At present (here are no active volcanoes within a raditrs of thou sands of miles. Then- is also evidence (hat the level of the land has changed perceptibly since the water left the last beaches. If the basin should again fill, (he water level would not coincide with (he beeches previously formed. They have been deformed and broken here and (her* so that they are no longer horizontal, as thoj* were when built. That is to say. (he mountain growth had not ceased when the lake beaches were built. Such facts as these- teach us that the earth Is unstable And (he seat of change. What we see to-day is not what would have been seen In the post, nor probably w-hcit will be witnessed in. the future. The maze of evidence of such changes is con stantly !>eing increased as time passes, and ns the work of the army of investlgn tors proceeds into new’ regions and in creases in detail in better known sections. The facts that ore gathered cannot al ways be 'understood nor ihelr full mean ing bo interpret'd, and this sometimes seems dlscou raging to those who are working and discovering them; but little by little the earth history is being in terpreted, and every year sees progress made. Many more facts ore needed, nnd many men are patiently gathering them. When ihe facts are all In *he explanation will be ot hand; but until that time we must rest content (o allow some things to )>o mytery. When the deposits of glaciers all over the world have been carefully studied, nnd the changes in climate of ail the arid lands of the continents have been fully determined, we may hope that even the mystery of the transformation of tem perate regions to ic< fields and of arks deserts to lake-dot ud. verdure-covered land's will cease to rank os mystery.

If the “Change of Life’’ is passed safely, she may expect to live to a happy old age. When proper treatment is not secured at this time few women are ever really well again. They quickly become nervous, “fidgety,” unlovely old creatures—no comfort to themselves or their families. There is nothing like Wine of Cardui to help women over this dangerous period.

Something About the Lending Ri val*. From the London Leader. At the head of all great ship-owning companies of Great Britain stands the British India Steam Navigation Company. For some reason which I will not attempt to explain, this great enterprise does not loom nearly so largely in the public eye as others of far less Importance. In the East the “B. 1..” ns it is curtly designat ed. is assessed at its full value, for what little out-of-the-way port along the toast of Bussorah to Mouknein is there where the regular visit of the “B. I.” boat is not looked for as confidently as is the re currence of tlie days of the week. Of course, the nature of the trade preclude* the employment of vessels of such vast size as. say. in the Atlantic trade, yet the "R, I.” run some big ships, too. it is, however, to the total of the fleet that we must look, and here it is in all its grandeur; 107 ships; gross tonnage, 311,- 4i;>; average size, 2.910 tons; nominal capi tal. 1952.000; called up, £094,800; deben tures, £285,380; reserve fund, £300,000; divi dend< 10 per cent.; average dividend for last five years, 10 per cent. Tin* next huge concern in the descending scale is the sublime “P. mid 0.,” an insti tution that seems almost national in its stability and importance. Here the numlier of chips drops nearly 50 pc*r cent., for the total fleet is 57. Yet the gross tonnage of that fleet is 297,092, while the average size of the ships leaps up 4o 5.222! The finan cial figures, too. are of n far more impos ing character. For instance, tiie nominal capital is £3,500.000; the called up capita), £2,330,000; debentures, £BOO,OOO, and reserve I fund, £750,000. Naturally the dividend fig | ures are more complieato<l than the “B. 1.,” the preferred shares reaping - 5 per I cent., and the deferred 10 p<T cent../with u bonus of 2 per cent., while the average dividend on the deferred for the last five years has been 11 per cent. No wonder the £IOO deferred shares ore worth £235. Then vve come to a company that has made some giant strides of late years— Messrs. Elder, Demr>ster & Cos., who own nine-ty-two ships of 284.612 tons, and an average per ship of 3.003. In 1884 the fleet of this company numbered 33 ships of 45,- 000. on overage of 1.363 tons per ship. The White Star Line, which holds the next position in magnitude, is in many respects the most extraordinary progres sive steamship company we can boast of. This compapy possesses t wentydhree ves sels, aggregating 195.209 tons, which gives the enormous average of 8.487 tons per ship! Fifteen years ago this company owned twenty ships, but their average tonnage was 2,891. Messrs. Wilson of Hull como next, a private company of enormous importance and usefulness, but, owing to the exigen cies of their trade, their vessels run small, eighty-four ships totaling 167,039. nn aver age of 1.988 tons per ship. Here, too, the growth in flftene years has been great -an increase of 22 ships, 82,000 tons and 609 tons in overage size. A sturdy competitor with the P. and O. for the China carrying trade—the Ocoen Steamship Company—comes next. All sail ors know these ships as “Alfred Holt’s,“ or the “blue funnel boats.” although their classic names, mostly those of Greek he roes, are often a puzzling mouthful. Tt is a fine fleet of 4hirty-six ships, of 160.001 tons, an average of 4.444 tons per ship. Growth in fifteen years, 7 ships only, but 109.00(7 tons, and a rise in the average ton age from 1,772. Another line that in spite of fierce com petition has built up a big business is the “Clan” Company, which now owns for ty-five ships of 158.725 tons and an- aver age of 3,737. Messrs. Lamport & Holt, a company of Liverpool shipowners, al ways suppose*! by seafarers to have some affinity o Alfred Holt’s line. prot>ably be cause of the name and the same distin guishing blue funwl-run their ships to Sou f h America. They cannot here he dealt with, however, since many of the vessels are chartered. Messrs. Ley land own 4hirty-flve ships of 140.980 tons, having triple*! their tonnage and doubled their average size in fifteen years, while laying an average dividend of 11 per v?en t. The Cunard Company-+ins had a hard fight. The number of vesels owned by it has dwindled down from thirty-three to twenty-two it: fifteen years, although the a\erage size of the ships has nearly dou bled, and there is an increase of 22.000 tons in ►he gross total. But the aver age dividend for the lost live years has been only 1 3 4 per cent. Owing to the amalgamation promised, the Union and Castle Companies, although now ervming well down the list with twen ty ships each, will take a high place. Their combined tonnage is now 221,293, with an average tonnage per ship of 5,582. Both these well-managed companies have made great strides In the last fifteen years, having increased their gross totals of tonnage and average size of shins—<he Union from 49.364 tons and 2.993 average to 114.407 and 5.72*>, and the Castle from 83,336 and 1.602 to 106.8,% nnd 5.314. The average dividend for the Inst five years has been between 4 and 5 ior cent. Now', although out of the 21.500.000 tons of steam shipping in the world, 12.000,000 tons are under the British flag, the fact cannot he lost sight of that there art two foreign companies, In the Hamburg- American Line and the Norddeutscher Lloyds, who own respectively 412,148 tons end 358.000 tons of steamships, their fleet Ixdng seventy-five and se#enty-three. The former company has just made a deter mined effort to wrest the blue ribbon of the Atlantic from the latter—who hold by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse—by launching the Deutschland of 15.800 tons. These two companies, however, carefully nursed and subsidized as they are, alone succeed in topping the fleets of our larg est companies. After them come the M. M. (Mrssagories Maritimes do with sixty-six ships and 250.00 tons; the Japan Mail Steamship Company (Nippon Tusen Kaisha). with seventy vessels of 208.000 tons; and the Navigazlone Gen eral Itnliana, with ninely-eight ships of 180,000 eons. But these big companies stand almost alone in their rc?speotive countries. The supportihg vertebrae of companies owning over 50,000 tons of snip ping each, of which we possess such a number are elsewhere entirely absent. —The centennial anniversary of the graduation of Daniel Webster from Dart nvouth College will be observed by that institution next year.

Connected Willi n Bolivian Silver 41 ine. From the Chicago Record. Along in the a 'Scotch sailor Penny deserted from a man-if-war on (hs west coast of South America and found his way to the interior of Bolivia, where he worked as a miner and did odd jobs for a living. In the course of time he took up with an Indian woman, and after she had nursed him through a long and dangerous Illness he married her to show his gratitude. She reciprocated his confi dence and affection by leading him to an ancient mine, which had l>een abandoned and partially filled at the time of the conquest In order to keep it from fal ing into the hands of the Spaniards. With the aid of his wife and a fellow countryman named Mackenzie, Penny cleared out the rubbish and struck a vein of silver tha made him a millionaire. The mine is still operated and is one of the most profit able in South America. After having developed the property and organized his affairs with Mackenzie as his superintendent. some years later Penny returned to Scotland and purchased the estate near Aberdeen unon which hi? parents had lived as laborers. His Indian wife could neither read nor write, and <*ould not speak or understand a word of Blrglish. but was habitually arrayed in silks and satins and wore Jewels that wo-e the wonder of all ths country arounl. Penny spent his money like a “Monte Cristo” and the fame of his philanthrophy will never be forgo Hen by the people of that region. He brought a son of Mac kenzie to Scotland to be educated anl sent him to the best schools. He also adopted a nephew of the name of Craig, the son of a village parson living near Aberdeen. Penny insisted that both should adopt his name, and, as he had no children of his own. and no prospects of any. promised to make them his heirs. When he died suddenly he left a wll bequeathing his mJnes and his millions to his wife, and commending to her car? and generosity his two adopted son*. Craig and Mackenzie Penny. Shortly after Craig Penny started for Bolivia with the widow, leaving Macken zie. who was then about 18 years old. in school. During the voyage, by som means, Craig induced Mrs. Penny to mar ry him. and when they arriyed at Oruro he produced a marriage certificate, took charge of the property and dismissed the faithful Mackenzie, who had been solo manager of the mine for many year a. Then Mrs. Penny died under mysterious circumstances. Although her husband attempted to keen away doctors and priests, the old lady, through a servant, managed to send word to friends that she needed protection, and before her death declared that she had been poisoned. Th.> scandal was hushed with money, and Penny lived like a lord on the profits of the mine, of which he claimed to be the sole owner; but after a time young Mac kenzie learned what had transpired in Bolivia and started for Oruro to protect his rights. Being a British subject, he placed his claims in the hands cf Thomas H. Anderson, United States minister o Bolivia, who was in charge of British in terests. and the latter, wjth the aid of Dr. Alonzo, recently president of Bolivia, endeavored to arrange an amicable seit'e ment of the controversev, under which the two boys were to have equal shares in the mine. When Mr. Anderson returned to the United States at the end of his term of office he brought young Mackenzie Penny with him in order that he might complete his education in Washington; but after a time, when the boy return*! to Bolivia. President Alonzo organize*! a syndicate to buy out both the heirs for $500,000 each. He now controls the mines, and is paying the two heirs in instalments, while both are drinking themselves to death at Anto fagasta. Cl\nlry Fighting, In tle Philippines. Fre<lerick Palmer, in Collier’s Weekly. I led the ruddy-faced Gen. Young to speak with a soldier’s brevity of the most striking campaign In our military annals since the march through Georgia. “We kept after them.” he said, “that was all. Whether it was through passes or over marshes, we traveled as fßst as the enemy. I concluded from the first that what we needed was mobility and not numbers. We hit whatever fore© was before us as often ns wo could on the flank, or in the rear If possible. Thar soon demoralized Agulnaldo’s little army for any organized action. W© kept after its remnants until we had them in the moun tains or captured. Once, if we had only known how near wo were of Aguinaldo, we could have got him. Gen. Tino, with a small band, still eludes me. But Cols. Hows*' and Hare nre keeping on his trail, and we are blocking the pass<* where we can to keep him from getting south. I have Gen. Tino’s pword, a fine Toledo blade, also his map and map holder. I use both the mop and the holder.” At in<*.<B <he General and his staff go over half a hundred little fights, compar ing notes and laughing over their experi ences. “That cavalry chtirgp }>eet anything w* had,” said Lieut. Col. Parker. “It was the only charge we ever made in Luzon. Likely it will be the last.” The Colonel saw a line of natives pass ing along a road across the open, and with whoop he led a troop on to them. The moral effect was tremendous; the slaughter slight. Our big horses are the dragon of the little Filipino'* dream. At the sight of the galloping, yelling cavalry men the band did not wait to Are a shot. They disappeared in all directions in [he brush, where a horse cannot go. "Oh, if they only had stood up to it!” sighed the angry troopers, "we wouldn't have thought a soldier’a life quite 30 hard." The General insisted that Col. Parker should show me the ground where he made another real fight—in fact, the hottest fight against the greatest odds in the cam paign. Lying under the cover of a rib of mas onry a foot or more in hight, with occa sional pillars, which runs around the plaza, separating the street from (h-e buildings, he had sixteen men of the Texas Rangers, who faced a fire from a stone building in front thirty yards distant nnd <t cross fire from another building seventy-five yards distant of over 200 rifles. These in surgents hod come in in the night, after he had occupied the town with a handful of men. As he crossed the piaza he had tittle idea of the enemy's number. With five men following him, he tried to charge in at the door of the building in front. Three of them were killed, falling In a heap. The others got under the cover of o wall in front of the building, with a score of insurgents on the other side who could not get at him. because if one show ed his head one of the remaining Texan* sent bullet through It. The Colonel fed back to the remnant of his command with out being hit, though why in heaven’s name he wasn't, no man can tell. "You needn’t worry. W'e kin keep the Gugus from coming out all right. Colonel.” said one of the Rangers, as Parker start ed off for the reinforcements which fin ished the business. ‘‘Don’t know r why I tried to get into that building,” says Parker, laconically. “Good thing I didn’t, I guess. Of course, I didn’t know there were so many of them. Those Texans wilt fight ns long as they have the strength to whisper. We lost eight killed and two wounded out of six teen. Remarkable percentage, wasn’t it? Rut we took five lives for every one we lost.” Incidentally, while governing seven pro vinces, Gen. Young and his staff have to attend to the details of a brigade divided into small garrisons or columns, which arc widely sport and separated from the base of supplies. While Hare and Hows© are chasing the rebels In the mountains, he has not sufficient troops to post regu larly, except in a few of the Inrgest towns. Small cavalry patrols go !>eek and forth over the principal roods. Every day they bring in a few stray men with rifles who have accepted the Inevitable. They arc questioned, their names and residences entered in a book, and then are given the:r liberty. If they wantful work they could find it in tho provost marshal’s street cleaning deportment, which is fast mak ing Vigqn a presentable town. Tlio Archbishop's t.eg. From Shadow's Magazine. The archlepiscopal legs must, wc regret lo say. be somewhat condemned, if re garded critically. Muscle and strength there must be, for his grace is inde fatigable in his duties, which Involve much walking orul standing. Moreover, though he admits that his sole recreation now is ’’light literature.” it Is well known that in early life he took a great part In games of all sorts, to which wo must attribute his vigor in his seventy-eighth year. The loose, “rucked” goiters hide the outline of ihe calf muscles, nnd show n tendency lo—shall we soy?—jovial carelessness. The second picture plainly shows Dr. Temple’s tendency, so deplored hy photographers, to turn in his toes. Who will say there is no character in legs? These plainly show the good nature, the saving grace of humor which his grace has in such abundance, nnd that slight scorn of forms nnd conventionalities which is such a boon to o man in so responsible a posi tion. The Archbishop of York—The legs of the other Archbishop, his grace of York, are perhaps the thinnest in our gallery! Though there is a fair development of mus cle in the ealf, the legs seem to belong to anything but an nthlete, and it Is therefore a surprise to learn that Dr. Maelagan served In the army for five years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant, and that still, in hi* seventy-third year! he Is a great walker. His legs show a well-balanced and not easily rutiled mind, active and clever in slipping unobserved through difficulties. The Archbishop of Dublin,—The Arch bishop from over the water, Dr. J. F. Deacooke of Dublin, admits no love of athletics, ns might be guessed by'the ap pearance of his legs. They denote a man of sentlsive and retiring disposition, great dignity and thoughtfulness. They are not very firmly placed, nor have the gaiters anything of n smart or jaunty air.
