The Grea.est Steamboat Contest on th Micsa:ippi River. The gresest race ever run on th MississippI w::s hetween the Natche: a boat built in Cincinnati and con manded by Captain T. P. Leather, and a New Albany boat, the Robert I Le, under Captain John W. Canno There was spirited rivalry between th two vessels, and when the Natche made the fastest time on record b tween New Orleans and St. Loul (1,27S miles in 3 days 21 hours 5S mil utes) Captain Cannon resolved to be: it. lie enzi;ed the steamer Fran Pargoud and several fuel boats an arrang-ed for them to meet him at ti rious points up the river with woo and coal. Then he had hi: boat clearec of all her upper works lhkely to cate the wind or tuake the vessel heavier. On Thursday. June 210, 1SI, at 4:' p. m., the Rtobert E. Lee steamed or of New Orleans. The Natchez follov ed five minutes later. The race ha been advertised in advance and w:1 -now awaited u .th gathering interes at all the river' towns. Large crowd were assembled at Natchez, V~icksbur; Helena and other large places. Between Cairo and St. Louis th Natchez afterward claimed to have los seven hours and one minute on aceouz of a fog and broken machinery. TI IRobert E.

D The (rent %:ilt lake of Utah con tinue-s to be one of the greatest mys- a teries of nature. For sixty years its 0 rise and fall have been studied by sci- P entists in :-n effort to account for the b changes, but as yet they have reached a no satisfactory solution of the prob- 11 lem as to what is the principal cause of the decrease in its depth. Those familar with its depth and the shrinking. in Its size each year assert that at the end of twenty years f f or so the bed of the lake wil! be near-. ly all exposed, with the possible 'ex ception of a few shallow pools of wa ter. Then perhaps the mystery con nected with It will be solved. In its dimensions the lake is really a sea, it being above seveuty-five miles In length and fifty miles across at its greatest width, containing, therefore. over 2,000 square miles of surface. Near the shores the water Is so shal- e low that there are places where one may wade out from the beach for a t distance of a mile, yet will not be Im : mersed up to his shoulders. The buoyancy of the water is such that It Is almost impossible for one r to remain on his feet at a greater a e depth, his body being lifted up as a strip of wood thrown Into the watel In a vertical or oblique direction like a g e dart is returned to the surface in a horizontal position. c e Indeed, it is believed the Great Salt .lake will support more weight to a I given Tolume of water than even the t a Dead sea, to which in many respects t ,It bears a striking similarity. The large quantity of salt in solu - tion is the principal reason for the a buoyancy. As the lake recedes its y e bottom is shown to be compcsed of a h heavy crust of salt, which Is almost pure, lying upon a strttum that con sists chiefly of sand. In this respect the bed of the lake Is simiinr to some of the deserts in the southwest which once contained bodies of water equal in size to that in Utah or even larger. It Is known that the Great Salt lake e loses a large quantity of water yearly by evaporation, but estimates 'of this quantity Indicate that it Is far less than that annually poured into the I lake from the rivers and creeks enter L ing it. e So far as is known no natural outlet % exists, but the lake supplies an irrigat 1 ing system in the country adja4nt L that requires a quantity of water year ' ly equal to a depth of four inches of t the present area. This Is a very small k proportion of the volume of water that d enters it through its feeders, so the ' scientists know the water escapes In d some other mnner than by the irri d gation canal or by evaporation. h This Is proved by the fact that the C Increase in the quantity that eaters t the lake at a rainy season at times t does not increase Its (epth, and the < Srecords show that actually It has fallen d ~immdately: after the Jordan and 3 other streams have contributed :a. S larger volume than usual.1 Near what is called Antelope Island Is an indication that a subterranean 1 opening exists. Frequently the waters [ near the Island are so violently dis- 1: s turbed that people In the vicinity call [ t his place the "maelstrom" andcae eC fully avoid It when on the lake in rboats. A ~number of yearsago, it issaid. a ensaiing vessel loaded with sheep r. chanced to approach too near the "~ maelstrom." and despite the strong ~breeze that was blowing the force or eC the water was greater than the power 1 a of the sails, the vessel being drawn SInto the middle of the disturbance and - capsized. Although sheep are natural-1 ly strong swimmers and land was but; a few hundred feet away, not one or the animals escaped and most of the again. SWhile the buoyancy of the water is so great that It will support a person t without aid. the boats designed for use 1upon the lake must be constructed es ' pecially to counteract this feature. The ordinary wooden vessel when empty r is actually too li-ht to be navigated with safety upon it. since such a small: portion of It would be Immersed. Care : :nust therefore be taken, especially in: the building of sailboats, lest they be top heavy. For this reason navigation Is dangerous on the lake even when there is only a mzoderate wind. unless r1 the sailing vessel is loaded heavily so that It sIts deep enough In the water S to counteract the buoyant tendency.

Is Not a Stationary Point, but is Constantly Shifting. Only the experts understar, that the orth pole and the north magnetie oole { re two entirely different things. As a iatter of fact. there are few localities a the earth's surface where the con ass points due north. The reason is ecause the north nignetic pok, or ra lies in the vicinity of King Wil- a am's Land. just off the arctic coast r North America. In Bothnia. When 9s magnetic pole i.-; between us and xe north pole the compass points due orth. As we go either east or west -om this line It is easy to see that ie compass is off to a certain cegree. f we were to travel north of the mag etic pole the needle would point outh: west of it the needle would oint east. Sir James Itoss in 1SZi* xated the north magnetic pole ap roximately at a point up in Bothnia. a 1003 Captain Itnald Amundsen in e ship Gjon set out on a three years' xpedition. relocated the magnetic ole and made the "northwest pas age" for which mariners have striven ince the days of Henry Hudson. Ter estrial magnetic force Is different in very part of the earth's surface and ; not alw'tys the same at a given olnt. It is subject to regular daily nd yearly changes. Amundsen post d himself near the seat of the mag etic power and for nineteen months. Ay and night. with his party, took eadings of their instruments, both in lination and dec ination. He also nde short exwurs'yns into the region f the magnetic poe and was able by he aid of the declination observations o prove that the magnetic north pole 4es not have a stationary situation. cut is continually moving.
