John Lee. a one-armed white man, was arrested last night on a charge of at tempting (o swindle two negroes in a sleight-of-hand card trick. The negroes, who are from the coun try .were in the vicinity of the Plant System depot, about to start for their homes, when they were approaehey' by two white men, one of whom was Lee. They opened a conversation with the ne groes, and evidently having sized them up as soft marks, the man who accompa nied Lee produced a pack of cards, and after counting the cards over for the benefit of the prospective "come-ons," offered to bet th.it there were only ftftj one cards in the deck. At the same time that he made the offer he cleverly dropped one of the cards, which was immediately picked up by Lee, but not so cleverly as to escape the at tention of one of the negroes, who later at the barracks, where he was taken to testify against the prisoner, stated that "he had hand w’at dey do in big towns, and had started to walk away soon as he seed w'at de white men was doin'." Anyway, the negroes refused to be caught by so palpable a trick, and Mr. Butt inter, who was in the nelghborhcO i, and saw what was going on, telephoned for the police. Lee was caught, but the other man got out of the way. HOT WEATHER IN THE WEST. Crops* Are Parched -and Hay Went I p to sl6 a Too. Grand Forks, N.

Significant to Tliotse Who l utler- Ktaud the Lnn^iiage. From the New York Sun. We are reading just now of many Chi nese distric s, towns and rlveis. Many of these geographical iiames doubtless ap pear repellant and unpronounceable to all except a few p. rsons who are familiar wiih them. But if we had a better ac quaintance with these names and knew their mraning they would be found 10 be full of interest. They are often condensed descriptions of the place or feature to which they are applied. They are far more instinct with life than many geo graphical names in other countries. Sup | pcse we had never heard ot Shanghai, for j example, but know the meaning of the two w_rds composing the name. We would know at once that the “City Near the Sea’ must apply to a seaport. Yun ho nv ans “The River of Transportation, • and we nuturally infer that the waterway thus designated must be commercially import ant. Yun ho, in fact, is ttie Chinese name of the Grand canal which p ays so large a part in the freight service of East China. Hcwever many syllables there may be in a Chinese place name it is composed of as many words as there are syllables, for all Chinese words are monosyllabic. If W’e know the meaning of even one of he wo-ds in a geographical name it helps to convey a definite idea. The words Ho and K.ang, for example, both mean • liver,” and when w'e see them on a map we know they refer to a river or si ream Many cf the names of rivers are descrip tive of them: Hoang ho. f r example, mean “Yellow river;” Tsin kiang m ans “Clear liver.” Observe how defin.te is (he idea expVessed in the name of each of the three livers which converge upon Canton. One of them is the Sikiang, or “West river.” another the Pe # kiang, or “North river;” the third is the Tung kiang, or “East river.” The names of these rivers tells the direction from which they come. They h !p to simplify the study of the geography of that part of China When they uni*e they form the Chu kiang or ' Pearl r.ver.” The Chinese named their larg st liter in the north th Ht.ang ho because it cuts its bed through yellow soil from which it derives its cclor. The yellow flood it pours into the s.a colors that part of the ocean yel.ow, ard henM- the Ch nese call the sea iloang hai. or Yellow sea. “The Chinese unite the words in a name so that.they form one word Just as we write Newtown, Hartford or Deerfield. Sometimes we unite the words in a Chi nese name and sometimes we separate them, but there is no reason for example, why we should write Tlen-Tsin when ? do not write Pe-Kln. Each of these names |3 composed of two words. Pe means 'north' and Kin means 'thecapiial' or 'the King's household,' and thus Pekin means the northern capital. Tien means heaven ly’ and Tsin means place,' and thus the name of the largest city in Northeast China means heavenly piace'—a name it has borne for many centuries. When Marco Polo visited the city in the thir teenth century he tranalated its nemo inlo Oiin Celeste." .Many Chinese names we see In the news papers and do nog even attempt to pro nounce would give us as much informa tion. if we could translate them, as a long sentence might do. Hankow, for exam ple, is the name of a very Imponant city bn the Yang tse Kiang. There are only six letters in the name, and ye< any Chi nese boy would know from the two short words composing it. that I! Is the name of the town standing at *he "kow" or mouth of a river named Han. The Han is the greatest tributary of the Yang tse Kiang and plays a most important pait in the commercial life of that teeming valley; and the city built on the spot where the Han mingles its waters with the Yang tse is Hankow, i. e., the town at the mouth of the Han. The word Yang meaps "ocean;" tse means "son,” and the name Yang tse Kiang which the Chinese applied agns ago to their greatest river, shows that they did not mean to depreciate its im portance. Some writers say the early Chinese believed their largest river con. tributed more water to the making of the ocean than any other stream in the world, and so In the name of the liver they con veyed (he idea that the ocean was Its son. The name is often erroneously translated the Dlu* river. Pekin has not always been the capital of the empire, but Nadktn. a city far to the south, was long (he seat of govern ment; and. as he name Pekin means "northern capital," so the name Nankin means "southern capital." "White river" is the meaning of Pel Ho, near whose mouth are the forts Just seized by the powers. In some books and maps we see the words "fu" or “hien" added to the names of many towns. The:* w : ords ire not a igrt of th* names, and some of the best itluscs omit them, for they lengthen the rume and mnke It more formidable to the foreigner. Ku mesn* the capital of one til the departments into which a prov- Inoe is divided; in other words. It is the residence of the official at the head of the department. Hien signifies one of the districts into which a department is di vided, and when attached to a place nemo means that he official in charge of the district resides there. It Is bet ter to omit these merely political desig nations. When we have more intimate dealings with China and belter knowledge of the people and their country, we shall have uniformity in the spelling of China's place names, and know what these names mean; and wo shall see clearly that these names” show considerable Imaginative and descriptive facility, and that they are really helpful in the study of Chinese geography. THE MAM If ACT! HE OF SALT. Conspicuous Natural Resource' of tlie Stnte of Michignn. From the Scientific American. Conspicuous among the natural resources of the state of Michigan are the forests which cover a considerable extent of Its surface and the large deposits of salt which underlie a great portion of its area. In the vicinity of Manistee, where the "sail blocks" which form the subject of the present article are located, this deposit consists of a stratum of rock sail, which is from twenty-five to thirty feet in thickness, and lies some 2.000 feet be. low the surface. Salt blocks 3re usually built in connection with saw mill plants, with a view to making use of the refuse as fuel; and for this reason the city of Manistee h.ts of late years become such a large producer of salt that about half of Ml this commodity manufactured In the statd is made at that point. Driving the Well. As soon as the site of a well has been selected, a cellar is excavated and plank ed up and a derrick, usually about eighty feet high, is erected, and the work of driving commences. The first operation Is to sink a section of 10-inch pipe, by means of a sand pump, to a depth of about 400 feet, from which point the well is con tinued by inserting an 8-inch pipe within the 10-inch pipe and driving it dbwn to the .rock formation, the 8-irtch pipe ex tending from the rock up through the 10-inch pipe to the surface of the ground. From the rock formation down the rock is drilled without any pipe casing, except through such portions as are lia ble to Sait well 'No. 5 of the Buckley & Douglas Company’s i>iant at Manistee, which described In the present article, is fairly typical of the wells in this vicinity. The KMnch pipe reaches to a depth of 40) feet, the 8-inch pipe to a depth of 016 feet, where ihe rock formation' is encountered. The bed of rock salt, which is 30 feet in thickness, reaches to a depth of 1.&85 feet, maKin? a (otal depth of 2,015 feet. The yield pump ed from tills well amounts to from 2.000 to 2,400 barrels of brine in twenty-four horn* The same engine, shaft and walking be im used in putting down the wells of ilns company were formerly utilized lo do th" pumping, which was accomplished by sucker rods extending down the cTsi ig to ihe pump cylinder in the well ppe Of In*? years the air-lift system, ha* been adopted with auch good results that 100 per c >: t. more brine is now force! fivm . well by air than could be raised by the old method. As ihe brine is pumped from the well it is delivered to the storage cis ter I*. from which it fall® by gravity to (he settlers, ar.d from the settlers to the rraineis. In the settlers it is heated to i temperature of about 170 degrees F Upon being allowed to sool the. gypsum, which, if it were not removed, would form a ccating on the steam pipes in the grainers, is precipitated, and as soon ns precipitation is completed the brine is drawn to a long box running across the head enf*s of the gralners as required. The latter are long, shallow tanks, near ihe bottom of which, and extending throughout their full length, is a series of steam pipes. The brine being admitted to the grainers, the eieam Is turned on, ihe liquor soon acquires a high tempera ture and rapid evaporation takes place. To assist the precipitation of grains of salt the surface of the brine is agitated at frequent intervals by means of a se ries of paddies, which art? operated by a lever at the end of the grainer. The sale accumulates at the bottom, until in the course of twenty-four hours there will he a layer from 6 to 8 inches deep. The sal is- lifted from the grainer by means of long-handled, perforated shovels, and is deposited on the runway. As soon 9s It is thoroughly drained it is shoveled into cars, run out over the Storage bin and dumped. The Vacuiun-I'an Proven®. Tart of the salt manufactured in this plant is made by the vacuum-pan process, for which purpose two pans are In use. One of the pans is run during the day and the other during the night, each pan mak ing in a twelve-hour run from 600 to 700 barrels of salt, the combined production being from 1,200 o 1,400 barrels a day. In the manufacture of salt it is a rec ognized necessity that a large quanttly must be kept in storage, and for this purpose the salt is dumped into vast storerooms which measure from 200 to 300 fee< in length, and the same In width; the amount in store frequently aggregat ed 400,000 barrels. As these rooms are from sixteen to twenty feet deep, the salt becomes tightly packed, and has o be worked loose by packers with picks shovels, grub hoes, etc., who proceed to quarry, break up and pack the salt into barrels. With the coarser grades of salt made in the grainers this is not a diffi cult matter, bm the finer grained, vac uum-pan salt be-’omes compact and very hard, and the packer soon finds himselr confronted by a wall of salt twenty feet in bight and as whita, if not as hard, as marble. To undermine and bring down this mass of salt is a dangerous operation, and involves long delays; and to over come these difficulties the companies have used a compressed-air driven spiral auger, which is ten Inches in dinmeer and provided with a double-spoon point The auger is mounted on a truck and the back end of the shaft is attached to it three-horse power Boyer rotary air-drill machine. A row of holes is driven into the salt at a hight of ten inches from the floor for a distance of six feet Into the mass, the holes being drilled as close ly together os possible. After an inter val of one to three hours a fall of salt takes place, a mass equal to 400 or 500 barrels of salt being brought down in each section. The saving of labor by the use of the compressed-air drill Is shown by the fact that sufficient salt can be un dermined and caved In this manner in one-half day to keep the packers at frork for two or three days following. mM Cures Dandruff, Falling Hair, Brittle Hair and all Scalp Troubles, such as Itching, Eczema, Eruptions, etc. Purely Vegetable, harmless and reliable.

Skin Diseases jjSk When the excretory organs fail to carry oIT the waste material from the system, there is an abnor mal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes sour and acid. •HUjlfcjJX*” This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema, \\ letter,^Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe. VV_| While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and NJm powders may Mlav the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithfully * continued, and the condition is often aggravated and skin permanently injured by their use. Tfie disease Is more titan shin deep; me entire circulation Is poisoned.
