THE SALT INDUSTRY.
From The Meanest Ossetia.
The salt deposits of (?nada end the
industry of which they are the basis
are the subject of a recent volume
baited by the Department of Mime at
lUttowa. and prepared by Mr. L. Heber
('ole. The work is interesting scien-
I tiflrally and commercially.
Torte are various them tee as to the
• origin of the salt deposits found in
pra.ticallj' every part of the world, so
that sodium chloride, the chemical
otrue oi common salt. is among the
moat w:dely distributed minerals in
"relate. Some have asctibed the beds
to volcanic action and the operation of
gears on component socks.
Tbe weight of technical opinion,
however. ie that in a genera! way the
'sit beds are the result of evaporation
of water going on through long ages
under vary.ng cooditioo.. Beside the
ocean there are also many natural
brine flrlds, some of them actual or
possible bases of industI y.
Canada is fortunat, in the extent of
its natural deposit.. Except Quebec,
whine few springs are too weak in
saline rontents to make them valuable,
every Province has more or lees wH1-
koowo centres where only enterprise
and knowledge are required to make
valuable use of ahem. Twelve places
in New Brunswick and Nov Scotia
are on the list, while in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan. Alberta and British
Columbia there are fourteen known
salt areas.
Ontario is the most favored of the
Provinces in this regard. The couu-

DETROITERS WELL TREATED.
One of Olcott Excursionists Resents Story
in N. i York Paper.
The following from The Detroit
News is an echo of the visit of the
steamer Olcott w Goder-ch on Ser.
tembee..t.b with a party of ezcurebu•
rats from Detroit. In some way a
story was *[carted, and wan published
in some United States tapers, that
the excursion party had been refused
permission to Iasi here :
"A lie can jump further and faster
than one of those Australian kanga
rocs ; fora !more, I never thought
those wise Yorkers would soul-
low, hook, and sinker, • yarn that
nobody amused beret would credit for
a minute," remarked Henry %Vohroet,
under-sberit.
The bits manor -sheriff was angry. A
few weeks ego he was a member of an
organisation composed in large part of
men of German deeceot who took a'
two day boat trip. Among other
places they stopped was Goderich,
Ont. They didn't have their clearance
papers, not knowing they were neces-
sary, and. as a consequence, were bald
up until Hector Hays, customs inspec•
tor. was routed out of bed at 2 a.m. to
Az them up.
Some village cut•op started a story
'that they were detained because the
Canadians feared tory were a band of
Germans Intent on invading the Do-
minion. It reacbed the effete East,
the places where everybody was
scared to death during the Spanish-
American wan through fear of • myth-
ical Spanish Beet, and the papers there
took it seriously. Among others, The
New Toile Globe soli Commercial Ad-
vertiser had Use following to say :
"A society composed lergely of per-
sons ct German descent left Detroit one
day last week on a boat bound for
Goderteb, Ott., a small Canadian
town near Poet Huron, to bold a plc
nic. The people of this Canadian *11 -
le .. hearing the langra•e of the in-

"Trivial as the incident is, it *bows
