Show THJ SALT LAKE TIMES. VVKDAflSDAY. JULY 9,1890 Popularity of Spencer's Works. The total gales of Herbert Spencer's works in Great Britain rip to April 18, 10, have amounted to 104,000 copies, exclusive of the "Descriptive Sociology." This number includes 83.750 copies of the various volumes of "The Synthetic Philosophy," 39,50 copies of "Educa-tion" and 20,000 copies of "Man versus the State." The total sales of tho au-thorized American editions of Mr. Spen-cer's works to date have amounted to 164,000 copies, and cheap reprints of cer-tain books have had a large sale. These figures are given by the publishers. There is a genius in Cohasset, Mass., who spends his time getting up startling effects for the stage. He has recently taken ont two patents. One of them is for an arrangement of slides and springs by which a man, or rather a dummy, goes all to piece. At a signal the head flies toward the ceiling, the legs move to the sides and the arms drop to the floor. The body remains in the chair. A be-heading apparatus is another of this in-ventor's ghastly devices. The ax drops into a socket in the block and the h,ead falls.

THE BASIN OF THE CASPIAN SEA Rests On a Subterranean Sea of Naptha Discovery and Appearance of the Bed., ' Tiflis is midway on the railway that cuts the Caucasus in its whole width and puts the two seas in communica-tion the port of Batoum on the Black sea with that of Bakou on the Caspian. As we leave the capital in the latter di-rection the eye is at first ravished and then desolated by the changing aspects of the land. The track follows the Kour, which rolls its broad sheet of water ma-jestically through wild forests and rich tilled soil, while two chains of snowy ridges stretch away out of sight in the distance the Caucasus to the left, the mountains of Armenia to the right. Soon we leave the river, which goes to join the Arnxes toward the south; the plain gets brouder and barer; tall cages built of planks perched en four tree trunks rise in the midst of the rice fields like watch towers. The inhabitants of the villages, who are all Tartars in this legion, take refuge at night in these aerial nested the marshy laud is so un-healthy that it is dangerous to sleep taere. In spite of these precautions the peasants whom we see- are devoured by fever; their emaciated visages remind us of those of the inhabitants of the Roman rampagua. After leaving Hadji-Cabon- l, the station in Moorish style, where a new line branches off "the Teheran line," I am told by the engiueers who are build-ing it, and who hope to carry it into the Very heart of Persia we enter an Afri-can landscape, sad and luminous. REMARKABLE SCENERY. The mountain chains become lower; they are now simply cliffs of gilded sand-stone festooning against a crude blue sky. At their feet the desert, a sandy expanse, covered here and there with a tose carpet of flowering tamarisks. Herds of camels browse on these shrubs under the guard of a half naked shepherd, mo-tionless as a bronze statue. The fan-tastic silhouettes of these animals are in-creased, in size and changed in form by the effect of the mirage, which displays before our eyes in the ardent haze of the horizon lakes and forests. From time to time we meet a petroleum train, com-posed of cistern trucks in the form of cylinders, surmounted by a funnel with a short, thick neck When you see them approaching from ft distance you might mistake them for a procession of mastodons, vying in Shapelessness with the trains of camel which they pass. The sun burns in space. Yonder a green band glitters beneath its rays; it is the Caspian. We turn around a liill and behold! on this western shore, in this primitive landscape, which seems like a corner of Arabia Petrsea, a mon-strous city rises before our eyes. Is it once more the effect of mirage, this town of diabolical aspect, enveloped in ft cloud of smoke traversed by running tongues of flame, as it were Sodom for-tified by the demons in its girdle of cast ' iron towers? ; i can find but one word to depict ex-actly the first impression that it gives: It is a town of gasometers. There are no- - houses the houses are relegated further away on the right, in the old Persian city nothing but iron cylinders and pipes and chimneys, scattered in disorder from the hills down to the beach. This is doubtless the fearful model of what manufacturing towns will all be in the Twentieth century. Meanwhile, for the moment, this one is unique in the world; it is Bakou the 'town of fire," as the natives call it; the petroleum town, where everything is ed and subordinated to the worship pf the local god. OIL IN REMOTE AGES. The bed of the Caspian sea rests upon a second subterranean sea, which spreads Its floods of naphtha under the whole basin. On the eastern shore the build-ing of the Samareand railway led to of immense beds of mineral oil. On the western shore, from the most remote ages, the magi used to adore the fire springing from the earth at the very spot where it last worshipers pros-trate themselves at the present day. But Hfter having long adored it impious men began to make profit by it commercially. In the Thirteenth century the famous traveler, Marco Polo, mentions "on the northern side a great spring whence Hows a liquid like oil." It is no good for eating, but in usoful for burning and all other purposes; and so the neighboring nations come to get their provision of it and fill many vessels without the ever flowing spring appearing to be dimin-ished in any manner. The real practical working of these oil springs dates back only a dozen years. At the present day it yields 2,000,000 kilogrammes of kerosene per annum, and disputes the markets of Europe against the products of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. The yield might be in-creased tenfold, for the existing wells give on an average 40,000 kilogrammes a day, and in order to find new ones it sut-tees to bore the ground, so saturated is the whole soil with petroleum. C. Mar-vin, "The Petroleum Industry in South-ern Russia," compares the Aspheron pen-insula to a sponge plunged in mineral iL The soil is continually vomiting forth the liquid lava that torments its entrails, either in the form of mud vol-canoes or of natural springs. These springs overflow in streams so abundant that it is hopeless to store their contents for want of reservoirs; often they catch fire and burn for weeks; the air, impreg-nated with naphtha vapors, is then aglow (ill round Bakou.
