j Washington, March 12 ? The with
drawal from entry of three tract*
of land of the desert-basin type In
Califarnia and Nevada that are be
lieved, as the result of investiga
tions by the United States Geolog
ical Survey, to contain valuable de
posits of potassium salts and brines
has recently been made. The aggre
gate area thus withdrawn Ih 133,
$29 acres. The first of these with
drawals covered Columbus Marsh,
Nevada, and was approved 011 Jan
uary 16, 1913. The second Includ
ed the famous Searles Lake. Cali
fornia, and was approved on Febru
ary 21, 1913. The third Included
lands in the Panamint Valley, Cal
ifornia, the acreage affected being
24,567 acres. Searles Lake Is the
last remaining pocket of a great
ancient lake, which has almost dried
up, thus concentrating a vast
amount of saline minerals. Millions
o* tons of salt, soda, and borax fill
the bottom of the lake, and the
deposits of soda and borax have
been worked, but the development
of the potash In the lake deposits
had not been considered until re
cently.
The bitter disputes, amounting
almost to warfare, that have re
sulted from the atempts to secure
title to the potassium-rich lands of
dearies Lake since the discovery of
potash there have not only resulted
ia the postponement of the highly
desirable experlmenal work on the
deposits hemselven but have snown
the utter inadequacy of the pres
ent laws *or the acquisition of lauds
of this type. The bed of Searles
Lake is blanketed with filings, the
majority of which have been made
under the general placer law pro
viding that 160 acres may be enter
ed as an association placer, but
there is dauger that the legality of
these filings may be destroyed by
agreements, made prior to patent,
to combine a group of placers after
patent is received, in order to ob
tain an area large enough to serve
a s a basis for a plant for extract
ing and refining the salts.
"He Seen Hie Duty arid He Don? It."
He had obtained a place in a teal es
tate office and was doing everything he
could for the Interests of his employ
ers. The other evening he was at a so
cial gathering and was asked to sing.
He responded with "Home, Sweet
Home." His friends were a little sur
prised at the selection, but he was
heartily applauded. Stepping forward,
he said: "I am glad you like the song.
There Is nothing like 'Home, Sweet
Home,' and let n>e say that the com
pany I represent la selling homes on
terms to suit within twelve minutes'
ride of the city. Everybody ought to
have a home. If you don't want to live
there it's the chance of your life for nn
investment."? Argonaut.
The Snail and the 8crew.
As evidencing the fact that for the
most part human inventions have been
suggested by natural objects. It has
been pointed out that there is an inter
esting parallel between the shell of the
snail and the ordinary screw. It is
thought that the Idea of the screw was
suggested by the spiral shell of the
edible snail. It >vas not the shape of
the shell that suggested the screw, but
the spiral motion which it Is necessary
to give to the body of the snail in order
to withdraw it from the shell. This at
once showed that an object of a screw
shape Imbedded In n solid powerfully
resisted attempts to withdraw It by a
straight pull.? Harper's.
A Brave Father..
The teacher of a small school wa?
conducting a grammar lesson.
"Now, children," she said, "in the
sentence, "John was struck by James,'
th?re Is a person known as the agent.
James is the agent because he Is the
person that did the act. Now, what is
the agent. Mary?"
"The agent Is the person or thing
that does the act." replied Mary.
The teacher turned her eyes on a
little fellow In the corner who was
not giving much attention and lu rath
er sharp tones asked:
"Tommy, do yon know what the
agent Is?"
"Yes'm; he's de gink dat pop kicked

Brown? Oh, no! But his father said

Ended Their Coaxing.
"How is It that you never coal Miss
Green to sing an> more?"
"Well, you see, one night we coaxed
and teased and begged and pleaded
with her to favor us with a song, and
after that we deolded never to do It
again."
"Why. did she still refuse?"
"No; she gave in." ? Detroit Free

ANDREW JOHNSON.
H? Was Perfect In Figure and Scrupu
lously Neat In Dress.
Andrew Johnson was one of the neat
est men in his dress and person I hare
ever known. Daring his three years
in Nashville. In particular, he dressed
in black broadcloth frock coat and
waistcoat and black doeskin trousers
and wore a silk hat This bad been
bis attire for thirty years, and for most
of that time, whether as governor of
Tennessee, member of congress or
Cnlted Statex senator, be had made all
of his own t otbes He wea so scrupu
lous about bis linen that he Invariably
changed all of it daily and sometimes
oftener.
He war matchlessly perfect in Ogure,
about Ave feet ten, had handsome
brond shoulder*, line forehead, superb
face, dark bushy hair and amall hands
and feet The most marked feature
about him was liis eyes, which were
small, and, although such eyes are not
usually attractive, his were black,
sparkling and absolutely beautiful.
He was not a gamester at anything
j and could play only Indifferently at
checkers. In 18d2 he explained to me
that he had never visited a theater be
cause in hit youth he lacked the op
portunity and always afterward would
rather study and work or go to bed
tban spend his time at a playhouse
He looked on all kinds of gambling as
wrong, never knew one card or one
domino from another and was never at
a horse race. He had been to a few
circuses and minstrel shows and liked
them.? Recollection of His Secretary,
Major Trurnan, in Century.
Too Many Pianos.
M. de 8., art critic, la traveling in
Italy. On the train he consults the an
nual showing varloua locations In
Florence. He reads. "Casanuroero
vla-1 piano." "Oh, me." he saya^-l
do not want any piano In the house."
He contiuues to read. He finds
houses of two, three, four pianos. He
does not And any that are unprovided
with these. He is desperate. He de
clares the superabundance of these in
struments disgusts him with Florence.
Then some one explains to him that
the word piano. In Italian, signifies the
floor or story of a house. ? Crt de Parla.

Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time I had a bad case of kidney end
bladder trouble. The kldner secret
ions were too frequent In passage
and I suffered a great deal from
backache that wan especially severe
at night. I applied plasters to my
back and used other remedies, but
without receiving any noticeable
benefit. Happening td see an ar

Kidney Pll's, 1 procured the rem
edy. I began using It and In a
short time my kidneys were restor

As I did not take any other remedy
at the same time, I give the full
