But Methusalem answered aud said: 'If I am to live but'600 years longer, it Is not worth while to bnlld me an house. I will sleep lu tho air, as I have been used to do.'" This dialogue Is not reported In tbs fifth chapter of Genesis, to be sure, but It is reproduced here out of respect to Franklin as evidence that outdoor sleeping la no fad. but a wise return to the manners of our ancestors.? | Harper's Weekly. ( Profit In Arresting Deserters. "The members of the police depart ment are continually on tho watch for deserters from the army or navy," ex | plained the man about town. "The reason Is that the government sets u price of $25 upou the deserter's head. Of course policemen are anxious to gain the reward and are on the watch. "The Bowery is the district most frequented by deserters, aud that is the first place in the city whero search is made for them. A see re of deserters are picked up along this thoroughfare every year. "Before a member of the police deI partment can acept the reward for catching a deserter-his claim must be I approved by tho commissioner.

No. 9 tly Sound rears Service reat Salt Lake 1 , * 'ja Been Replaced Which Wat '1 mbers Found Impreg~ 7rom The Lake, In replacing a railroad trestle recently bnrned along the north shore of Great Bait Lake, engineers have imprenated throughout with salt | perfectly sound after 43 years of | service. Looking for the cause, since these were only of local pine J and fir, they found.the timbers were imprgoated throughout with salt from the lake. At another point on the lake, 18 inch piles set 29 yards, aro similarly preserved with salt which has penetrated to their very center,' Timbers in the Southern Pacific trestles across Salt Lake placed in 1902, appear to be as good as on tho day when the piles were driven. They havo been preserved well above water line by salt dashed on to them by the waves, a fact apparently anticipated by the engineers who buiit the trestles. _ r The first trnno^nrllnnnlol > graph line, built before the railroad, extended west from dalt Lake City through the prosperous mining camp of Eureka, Austin and Vir Virginia City. When tho railroad waa built the telegraph line was transferred to follow Its right of **ay and the old poles sawed off at ti.u ground. An engineer who recently examined the butts left In the ground In the salt desert near Fish Springs found that, although fifty years bad passed since tho poles were cut off, the old butts were perfectly sound. In the Salt Lakacompanies the local salt tot W&r .v-.- ,?.. When set up, about 75 pounds of salt Is placed around the pole on tho-- -ground. This method can not be used, however, when the pole is on or near a lawn, or In any placo where vegetation is desired. I It is pointed out that the reason why the waters of Salt Lake act as a srong presrevatlve, as distinguished from ocean waters, is because the lake water Is so much saltier, being practically a saturate solu| tion. Preseratlon with salt Is of no use in ocean piling against the attack of teredos and other marine borers. Exverts in the forest service who have been Investigating the vreservative treatment of timber offer the suggestion that tleB and poles which have boen immersed for some time in tho waters of the lake ought to be Impervious to decay If the salt / is not leached out by the action of the elements. It has been suggested that this can be guarded against, ; for example by painting the butt or the polo with a coat of creosote which will keep out the moisture and keep in the salt ? mil NEW THEATRE Wf.
