r w«w, The New York World says: “The world’s production of gold aud silver for 1894 has been compiled by Rich ard P. Rothwell, edidor of the Fn ginhering and Mining Journal. The result shows that a little over eight een times more silver than gold was mined—5,205,065 kilos ns against 280,146. The increase in the produc¬ tion great of gold (§27,219,438) was not as Transvaal as was expected, the output of the reaching only 60,707 kilos ($4^,346,000;) but the produc tion for 1895 will be much greater. The decrease in the production of sil ver (134,681 kilos) was caused by the fall in the average price of silver'from 78 cents per ounce iu 1893 to 62 cents in 1894. The decrease in the commer oial value of the yoar’s production was §28,812,087, iu a total several'serious of only §105 - 429,034. There were errors in the different mint reports of last month, which Mr. Rothwell has corrected, aud his revision from offi¬ cial and original sources may be cou sidered final.” Open the-Safety Valve When there is too big a head of steam on. or you will he in danger.

Impossible to Drown In Its Saline Depths — Queer Experience of Captain Boyton. T l y HE Great Salt Lake is seventy miles long and fifty miles across in its widest part. It has an area of 2000 square miles, and of late years its greatest depth has not exceeded forty feet. In earl y summer, says the San Francisco Chronicle, this remarkable sea is two feet higher than it is in the fall, ow in £ to the melted snow brought down ^ its tbree lar S est tributaries, the Beilr > Weber and Jordan Rivers. This infIus of fresh streams does not appre ( ' iabl y lessen the saltiness of the main body of water, though its proportion of solid matter varies with tho oscilla¬ tions of its surface, beiDg naturally greatest when the lake'is shallowest. Those engaged in the manufacture of salt here say that it takos six gallons of water to make one gallon of salt. If any one doubts that the water of tbe blke is taken up by evaporation, and leans to the hypothesis of an un¬ derground outlet, let him expose to the sun and wind of this high altitude a vessel of this same water and see in what an incredibly short time the liquid is reduced to solids. The Salt Lake shores aro mostly gray flats of indescribable barrenness. The scant dwarf sage on the water’s edge is often beautifully flowered with a delicate frostwork of salt spray. On the northern slopes and down tho western border there are numerous springs running pure brine, But stranger than this is the fact that in several places fresh water rushes out of the sand on East Antelope within fifteen feet of the brimming lake basin. The one perfect beach is at Garfield, a dozen or so miles west of where the Jordan River is crossed and at the feet of the Oquirrhs—a grandly picturosque range, in whose clefts throughout the summer tho snow lies like fallen clouds. Tho first bathing in the lake was done at Black Rook, on Garfield Beach, which has been a resort for picnickers since the early fifties. Tho various groups of islands in this Head Sea of tho Western Conti¬ nent are fragments of mountain chains gracefully strung out on the flushing bosom of this strange water. Tho largest and best known is Antelope, which was once used by the Mormons as a cattle corral for tho church herd. This island is sixteen miles long by four wide, and lies twenty miles off the south coast. The next in size is Stansbury, which is fourteen miles in length, while Fremont is seven miles, and Carrington two-thirds as long as Fremont. The others, Strong’s Knob, Gunnison, and Dolphin, are grouped fifty miles to the Northwest of Ante¬ lope, and are superb limestone cliffs, almost wholly without vegetation, an I haunted by millions of gulls and other sea fowl. The four largest islands aro used as winter pastures for sheep or cattle, but ml are uninhabited and without fresh water except Antelope, whose one house—an ancient adobe, built hero by tho Mormons fifty years ago —is occupied by tho island herder and his family. There are hundreds of acres of good grazing ou tho east¬ ern slope, and a few years ago, when tho Government sot apart the Salt Lake islands as a reservation for our nearly extinct buffalo, somo sixty American bison and forty elk were transported to Antelope. Tho owners of the island endeavored to breed the buffalo in with Alderneys, but so far havo not succeeded, the shaggy, fierce eyed boasts rebelling lit every ap¬ proach to domestication, Tho elk proved even more unsatisfactory, for after a few days of restless roaming tliey took it into their antlered heads to swim back to tho main shore iu a body, and landed on a point fifteen miles from Antelope, where they were promptly shot down by the settlers thereabouts. Along tho shores of the lake and in many of the island bays the water presents a remarkable appearance, a kind of madder red spread out for acres. Upon investigation the cause of this sanguinary color is found to / 51 ° f W:<i ’ th “ chrysalides of worms kernel. tno Where size thefie and shape of an oat accumulations exist an offensive smell is noticeable, and is the one disagree able feature of these desolate shores. In early days the Utah Indians col¬ lected and dried the larvae and used the mixture as a mush. In the fall of the year the marshes at the mouth of the rivers that empty into the lake are covered by flocks of wild geese and ducks, with sometimes a stately blue heron or swans with beautiful white plumage. Their cheer¬ ful clatter and the fresh green of the coarse grass and singing weeds con¬ trast delightfully with the dreary tints and solitariness of the immediate des¬ ert. There are also numbers of sea¬ gulls, which visit the marshes to fish, coming thirty miles from their rook¬ eries on Gunnison and its neighboring isles. The main food of the gulls is known to be the infinitesimal live things found in the bitter brine—a small winged shrimp, a smaller fly and its larvte, the blajk worm before alluded to—the three atomic crea tures that comprise the animal life of the lake. Bathing in the lake is one of the most delightful experieaees imagina ble. It is next to impossible to sink in such dense water, and one floats easily with head, arms, knees and feet entirely exposed, and this without moving so much as a finger. The bath ers wabble this way an l that like so many corks cast adrift. Swimming the old way is evidently hard work, but an habitue of these waters will throw his body high out and go hand over hand with a speed not excelled in fresh water. Salt Lako people will tell you what hard work tho famous Boynton had iu 1880 of his attempted swim to Antelope Island and the ter irble sufferings he endured while-buf¬ feted about in his rubber suit all one night. A wind from tho northwest blew a stiff breeze, and the spray dashed iu his face and hardened there into salt. In the morning tho exhaust¬ ed man was thrown up like a rubber ball in the marsh east ot Blaok Rook, on the main shore, aud afterward de¬ clared : “A man can't get this water on his headland stand it. If I were forty feet under water in tho worst storm the Atlantic over know, it wouldn’t be ns bad as being under one foot here. It was the weight of the water that knocked me out, and there isn’t enough money in the world to tempt me to trv it again.” One of the many mysteries of tho Great Salt Lake is its irregular habit of shifting its bed. Three years ago saw the completion of a fashionable bathing resort on a point called Lake¬ side. Tho first summer people came by tho thousands, and were enthusias¬ tic in their praises of tho bathing at “Lake Park.” But alas for tho owners of the rosort and the narrow-gauge railroad that made hourly trips baok and fourth to the city! Before the next season opened the row of bath houses stood up high and dry a quarter of a mile from tho salt zone that con¬ fined the lake’s liquid green ; tho rod roofed pavilion was deserted and wind¬ swept and empty, sun-craoked benches wore set forlornly about tho unused walks; tho lako had turned its back upon the “Park,” and would have none of it. The handsome now buildings, whose sole tenants are now the “birds of the air” and the horned toad, but add full desertness to tho wide, lonely waste of Lakeside. The long wharf, once the mooring of pleasure craft, is left to the desultory use of stockmen, who anchor an oc¬ casional “cattle boat” alongside after its bellowing cargo has been unloaded on tho chute hard by. One of the first things that strikes a newcomer is tho comparative absonce of boat life on tho Great Salt Lako. A sail in sight is tho exception, and has rather a startling effect on tho otherwise ompty water. There aro several schooners owned by privato parties, a kind of toy steamer called the Tuilla, that makes excursions out from Saltair, and the gay little Cambria. Thero are also two or three schooner-rigged cattle boats, which are really the safest boats on the lake, and aro used chiefly to transport stock from Antelope and Fromont. WISE WORDS. An acorn is bigger than a saw log. Tho wounds made by a friend never heal. Thorne grow fast while a lazy man sleeps. Bohind the shadow there is always a light. Half-hearted service is tho coward’s tribute. Tho more wo love the more wo can see to love. Some people havo more reputation than character. The man who has gold for his mas¬ ter wears iron fetters. To-morrow is tho fool’s seed timo. To-day is the time to do. All other eyes aro full of beams to tho man who has a moto in his own eye. A mistako is sure to attract atten¬ tion whero a virtuo would be over¬ looked. The poorest man is not tho one who has the least, hut tho ono who wants' the most. Thero is more help in an ounce of encouragement than thero is in a ton of good advice. A happy heart is worth moro any¬ where than a pedigree running back to the Mayflower. Tho fellow who is doing nothing himself is sure to complain that no¬ body else is doing enough. The only reason why wo don’t soo the face of truth everywhere is be¬ cause we live too low down. Eloquence may sometimes provoko righteous indignation, but it cannot produce righteousness of life.—Ram’s Horn. A Lesson lor Bad Boys. Nicodemus, tho six-toed cat that took the first prize at the New York cat show, is a living warning to nil wicked boys who have a weakuoos for testing the old traditions as to a cat with nine lives. Nicodemus was on way to the dock in the arms of a bad boy, who proposed to drop him into the river, when a man ransomed him with a silver dime and sent him to tho cat show. Ever since he secured the first prize he has been on exhibition in a dime museum, and $1000 has been refused for him. Every bad boy who drops a cat into the lake should care¬ fully consider the story of Nicodemus before he sacrifices the life of what may be the prize cat of th$ land. Long Wire Without Support.

But it appears that these, like the island’s present humanity, arc not indigenous. They seem to have been produced by some happy crossing of breeds. It is said that, in the island, they appear to degenerate, and that the Newfound¬ land dog thrives better out of New¬ foundland. Old settlers are reported as saying that the genuine breed con¬ sisted of a dog twenty-aix inches high, with black, naked body, gray or whito stockinged legs, with dew claws behind. The Leouborgdogs—a cross between the Newfoundland, tho St. Bernard ftn( , tho p yrenoan wolf-dog-are said to tllrive wo ll in the island, aud to possess “somo of the noble races whose blood blends in their veins.”— Chum bers’s Journal.

A gentleman who has been recently overlooking a trunk of old family let¬ ters came across one writton from a father to his son on September 4, 1794, in which the writer says: “Pray turn to your almanac, where you will see that the perigee falls on the 11 th of the mouth; therefore it will be found un¬ wholesome by those who have had no fevers during the past 2 mos to get drunk and bo out in the rain or in the ‘due’ from the 6 th of the month untill the eighteenth inolusive.” Whether the perigee fall on the 11th of Septem¬ ber or not, in these modern days, most modern young men would find it “un¬ wholesome” to be “drunk and in the rain and ‘due’ from the 6 th ‘untill' the 18th inclusive.” \'h a vl 1 •*% X LEAVES ITS HARK —every one of the painful irregularities and weaknesses that prey upon women.
