Salt Deposits of Utah
A press dispatch from Utah states
that in building the Western Pacific,
a railroad from Salt Lake, Utah, the
engineers encountered huge salt beds,
said by the engineers to be eight miles
in width and 40 miles long, There
isn't, they declare, another such de
posit in the world. Its true depth is
as yet unknown, as it has only been
penetrated 0 or 7 ft. in blasting holes
for telegraph poles, but in sinking
these bob'* it was seldom that the bot
tom of tin* salt bed was reached. This
salt i* said to be 0s per cent pure.
Taking into consideration the enorm
ous quantity, it* commercial value is
almost beyond computation. The bed
i" all. or nearh all. taken up by placer
claims *ince the advent of the railroad.
These salt beds are situated near the
wt >t end of the great desert, and about
l‘_M miles west of Salt Lake Pity.

Kadiak Bear
A Tacoma paper says: Leading
Tacomans are making an effort to se
cure another Kadiak bear for Point
Defiance park. So far as known here
there are but four of these animals in
captivity. One of these is in the park
here, one in Woodlatvn park, Seattle:
another in the Zoological garden in
San Francisco, and the fourth in
; the Bronx park, New York
City. The ICadiaks are only found on
Kadiak island, Alaska, and the main
land adjacent thereto, and are one of
the largest variety of bears to be
found. Somewhere in the North, just
I where, those who know will not tell,
i either a full-grown Kadiak or else a
! good sized Kadiak cub has been held
jin captivity. This is the bear that
Tacomans are trying to get for the
' park here. They believe it will be a
I good advertisement for the city to
I
: have the distinction of being the only
city on earth that has two Kadiak
j bears. It was expected that the deal
for the bear would be consumated be
fore this time, but so far those after
the bear are only able to report prog
ress.
Will Take no Bad floney
Orders have been issued in a num
ber of Homan Catholic churches in
Greater New York directing ushers
who take up collections to discontinue
giving change to those who wish to
contribute. It has been the habit to
give change to those who ask for it on
the ground that they did not have
coins of the denomination they wished
to put in the contribution box. It lias
been discovered that a large number of
counterfeit half dollars found their way
into the church collections in that j
manner. The passers of the money
would drop a lead half dollar into the j
box and receive '2o cents in change. ,
Many ehureho have been thus victim- j
ized, one church having found thirty
two of tiie counterfeit coins in one Sun
day *s collection.
Defenseless America
With the Atlantic lleet in the
Straits of Magellan, SS,000,000 of
people and *no.bOO,000,000 of property
j is unprotected from the destruction
! which would come in the wake of war!
| even with the Atlantic lleet on one
! coast the other remains unguarded.
: A division of the fleet would be inade
quate for the protection of either
[coast. With American commercial
'spirit so militant and enterprising,
with the policies of local sovereign
ties opposed to those of the nation, it
is idle to sit silently and imagine our
| selves secure. There is but one sure
[element of security in the world as
constituted today, and that is—an ade
quate navy.—Array and Navy Life for
February.
