In railroad communication there would
he no market in this country Tor the
foreign article. In Lincoln county; on
the Bio Virgin, there is a deposit of
9nm nock salt which is exposed for a
length of two miles, a width of half a
*nil^ and is of unknown depth. In
-places canons are cut through it to a
.depth of sixty feet. It is; of ancient
formation, beingcovered in some places
fry basaltic rock and volcanic tufa. The
^deposit has been traced on the surface
for a distance of nine miles. It Is so
*olid that it must be blasted like rock,
st-prinr
.and so pure and transparent that pri
can be read through blocks of it a foot
thick. At Sand Springs, in Churchill
county, there is a deposit of rock salt
fourteen feet in depth, free from any
particle fit foreign substance, which
can be quarried at the rate of five tons
a day to the man. /The great Hum

long by six wide. When the summer

water, .salt jto the .depth of several
Incites may fee scraped up and under
neath it a stratum of pure rock salt,
fit unknown .depth. Soda, borax and
•othyp .valuable minerals also exist in
large quantities near these localities,
and branch railroads will sooner or
later bring them into market. A con
siderable business in gathering borax
Is already established on the line of tho
Carson and (Colorado railroad. If
jNevada will eq£ down her working
expenses and develop her natural
geswxces, she will be above the neces
sity fit seeking jahd graiits from her
neighbors or from the general govern

Gray's lu aai Lord Bacon.
Of the many eminent men who have
•been members of Gray’s Inn, London,
Lord Bacon is, of course, the most illus
trious. Ilia chambers were in the
building now known as Gray’s Inn-
oquare. From the gateway of the Inn
started “the procession of Earls,
jBarons, knigh

impeachment ho returned to fits old
(Chambers and “busied himself alto
gether, about books.” Wo read in a
letter of 1622-3: “The Lord of St.
Alban's is In his oldromitter.andcbmo
(to lie in his old lodgings at Gray's Inn.”

pute between the soqlety and tho men
iof the Middlo Temple. There Is, hbw-
,ever,jno dispute as to tho membership
<of jB.urloigh and Holt; of the learned
iSlr Antony Fltzherbort; of Sir William
Gtaupfojtdo, of <‘a fragrant fame that
filled all round about, and would not
easily away;" and of the sturdy Welsh
Audgp pavid Jenkins,, whom Isaac
P'lsewU described os“a mighty athloto
jin itfee vast arena of the first English
^revolution.” An excellent address de
livered by his Honor Judge Russell in
J88I, as President of the Library Asso

.of the*e famous men, and of othor oml-
nent lawyers, such ns Powell; thobonost
Judge who resisted Gig oxetetso of the
dispensing power, nud Romilly, almost
our first law reformer, and others
nearer to Hie present time, who have
helped to sustain tho reputation of the
.society.
Squaring Girdles.
For all practical purposes the well-
known rule" multiply the squnre of the
diameter by 0.7854” is sufficient, seeing
(that the orror in tho result thus ob-
£aln<4 Amounts to an excess of less than
/me teorthou^mdth; by increasing the
place .of .decimals to, say nine and mul
tiplying by 0.78531MU18, the error is not
.quite one foiir-billionth.. Every h’dui-
.tiouaj (decimal place divides this i'rnc-
.tiop rfjfi Jurthor in liko number, aqd as
the wmberof such decimal places 1ms
ibeen w.qrked .out v to 607, the smallness
fit the orror, though expressible in
figures, Is utterly inconceivable, still
such errors exist Suppose tho distance
between two points to be ton feet (or
any other distance), and we divide that
.distance by ten, then that onq-tonth of
A foot by ten again, then that ono-
fiundredth by ten again and so on 607
mm
-times, the magnitude of this final quo
tient will correspond to that of tho
.error above lmmtxl. It is obvious that
we may go on dividing any number of
times without annihilating tho final
teuth absolutely. - ..TFa
Old Sol's Eitrene Heat.
-In ISOS and 1904 tho Rhine, Loire and
■Seine ran dry. The heat in several
French provinces during the summer
fit 1705 was equal to that of a glass fur

exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dare
venture out betweon noon and P. M.
Not a drop of water fell during six
months, In 1718 many shops had to

New Tests for Color Uiindneaa.
An exceedingly simple 1 —-but none
the loss valuable—apparatus has just
been invented by Dr. Jefferson, of New
Castle, England, the surgeon in charge
of the Northumberland and Durham
for Diseases of the Eye, l#
which color blindness, even
y partial, can bo readily de*
any operator of ordinary
Most of the methods hitherto
employed have had the disadvantage
of being either too elaborate for general
use, or else have not been sufficiently
accurate. Dr. Jefferson’s invention
consists of a color circle formed by a
White .enamelled disc, twenty-two
inches In diameter, on which seventy-
two bobbins of wool, representing the
different shades of color, are fixed.
This wheel of color can be spun round
by a touch of the hand, and each hue
upon it brought into comparison with
other colors arranged on a stationary
testing board attached above the disc.
The colors op the test board represent,
of coursq,. those of the spectrum ; and
the patient is required to match frOni
the colors on the wheel—which are not
placed in consecutive order—tho color
given him from tho testing boar A Ho
places the disc In motion, and out of
the seventy-two shades represented by
tho bobbins upon it succeeds in match
ing perfectly or partially, or may
possibly {all altogether. Dr. Jefferson
claims that tho apparatus Ib one which
can fee used without the help of a
specialist; and it seems certain that, by
means of it the eyes of pilots and rail
way signalmen—whose correctness of
vision is sometimes a matter of life and
death to hundreds of other people-—can
be readily and efficiently tested. The
eyesight of dyers and Bhop assistants,
silk mercers’ establishments can be
ascertained in tho same way, and by
succeslve tests the precise errqr in the
perception of any single color can be-
conclusively pointed out.

Mr. E. S. Wells, who needs no intro-

"Tho testimonial of Mr. Titus is genuine
The New York Medical and Surgical
Journal says: “ Tlie predisposing causes
of canper aro in the habits of the
patients theniaolvcs. Just as civiliza
tion la the oauso of the strain that
wreoks so many intellects, so it is also
tho cause of depressing tho animal
vitality of tho individual, and brings in
its train this dread disease. The main
cause of this* disease is established
wealth and a state of luxury. The
appetite for eatinjg meat and highly
seasoned food is indulged, and can be
regularly and habitually indulged, only
in a state of established civilization,
with communities engaged in accumu
lating fortunes and vicing with each
other In sumptuous liviug. These con
ditions, together with habits of indo
lence and insuificieht exercise, cause an
accumulation of the waste products in
the system which predisposes to cancer.
Then aa accidental bruise, or reversal
of fortune with mental depression, or
any other exciting cause, may develop
this terrible‘.disease.
“The lesson is obvious. People should
live more frugally and take plenty of
exercise in tho open air, and, in short,
follow hygienio modes of living, and
the danger of cancer is much more re
mote. The cure may be dtrtlc»lt,but
prevention seems to be in the power of
the individual.”
