In the Appalachians are faults of five to twenty thousand feet and a. greater one cuts through the Uintas are due to volcanic ac- cumulations, no doubt. . . . Old theories of mountain making were attributed to steam and gases trying to escape from their pris- on house.

Three hundred and fifty thou- sand tons of salt are carried into the K9-l'3b08ha.s Bay daily or 10,500 000 tons in a month. The waters of this bay have become so salty that the animals which once in- habited it have disappeared, 1n all probability salt deposits were built up until some future date the site of the Karaboghas will be a great bed of salt rock, like those formed in ancient times in various parts of the world. . . .

.Wc enjoyed. a sleigh-ride this morning. along this road of ours. which at present is more ice than snow but nevertheless, affords ex- cellent aleighing. we rode to -the tinkla of sleigh-bells, a sound oncalcxtremeiy familiar but "now almost gone in the mechanical age we have come to. Hit the most part, these lie on shelves or hang neglected in a stable or have dis- appeared altogether. we recall when in the Winters of the past. they rang out so merrily, bright.- eaing day and lending enchant- mcnt. to the nights. We remember too,” that they were removed from harness or muffled on the teams that moved in a. funeral proces- sion. It comes to mind too, with a smile that they were a necessary part of B rig that went to town in Winter.

"Yes", we overheard James re- late to the grandchildren gather- ed about his knee and chair not long ago, hanging on to bid every word. "every team had to carry a bell when it went to town in Win- ter - sleigh. that is - in the long ago. And" he smiled "I mind hav- ing to turn back more than once

when I started off without one. And I've had to buy one first thing when I got there or per- haps borrow .one on the way.

Sometimes I had to be away before daylight -- and it's kind of hard to think of everything then."
