P. A. PETERSON, Prof
Scientist geologist aiul tow-tuts alike
will be interested In the huge salt beds
recently diwuwred the engineers who
art building the Western Pacific railroad
from Salt Lake City to Son Francisco.
Kight mile wide and 40 miles long, this
epormou saline deposit present much
th same Appeartinco a polar lee floe,
the effect of the glittering metal
stretching awy to tlie horixon in lines
of unbroken white, being one which can
not be obtained anywhere else In the
world except in the tones of eternal ice.
So closely are tlte MtJt crystals packed
together that the tic fur the railroad
are laid on the surface ami the 150,000
pound engine pa over them without
umking uny imprekm on it. In plac
ing Uie telcgltupli pole uloiig the line ot
t'nr road, it wa found nc-eMji-y to bliit

Kiijjiueer who Imve slu'lit'd the to-
Igraphy ot tin part ol the country
are inclined to the Wlief that a Imve
body of water underlie UiU eiiornum

nation for the well kn.v. u naliuc ipmlity
of (Ireai, Silt !.akc. The alt botly i
situated 27 fwt hijiher than the hike at
the Mormon capital, and the lope of
the land near the deposit i, such that if
water exited there it would flow in the
direction of the lake. With this na a
baitia for their deduction, the enineei
who laid out the road have eolved the
in(erelitti theory that "tlie laiye sub
terranean lto.tKt of wter is gradually dis
iolving the u"'nt "fit bed from uudiT
ncath and carryinsr it wuv in solution
through uii'lerjrriMind ehannel which lend
to the frivnt Suit Uike.
In view of tlie curiou j;eoloici coin-po-ition
of the country, in which river
are frequently known to disappear com
pletely front the surface and reappear
mile away with jjrently iuereaned vol

Ilert", for nearly H) mile tlie trains cross
a vast ca of white alkali, leainin in

Looked upon with (Tread in tlie diys
when the prairie schooner was the lt
means of transportation, the desert will
now become simply nil object of curios
ity, to lie viewed In the same liht us
any of the other scenic wonder.! thut are
to be enjoyed from Western Railroad.
The Forty-niner, when he reached the
edge of thi desolute stretch of drouth
ridden territory, figuratively drew a long
breath and plunged across it with some
thing the name feeling of desperation
with which a man facing a prarie fire
would dash through the flames to the
sifety that lies beyond. Whew the new
road i completed, the porter will walk
through his Pullman and call the atten
tion of traveler to the sea of alkali and
salt, but the traveller will suffer no in
convenience from making the trip which
was marked in former days by a trail
of whitening boneg and rotting wagon.
Over near the west end of the desert
lie the salt beds, and here the dusty
whiteness of the landscape changes to
the Hparkle of Christmas postcard. De
