Dead Sea Draws Salt from the Air. One is accustomed to regard rain water as pure water. It seems strange to hear that the most important factor in producing the great saltiness of the Dead Sea is the accumulation of salt which has been brought by the rain. It is well known, especially to water analysts, that the chlorine con. tents of uncontaminated water varies with the locality, but that, in general, it is a factor of the distance from the seashore, The salt from the ocean is carried up into the atmosphere and, passing over the land, is washed dows to the earth's surface by the rain. It hag been demonstrated that if the salt carried to the earth's surface by rain were to accumulate, a salinity equal to that of the Dead Sea would be produced in a fraction of the time Pleistocene Age theories have been to account for the saltiness of Sea: (1) The streams leading it washod the salt from the rocks and where it gradually accumu y the Dead Sea an Red but off land to ths south * the advanced the Two lo i« into 2 composing brought it to lake, lated; (2 arm of tho the Was once Sea, vas cut by the rizing of the In either case mbsequent meentrated until i aturat«n +) as vy § e the water « evaporation, tne ent condition © was the rocks Analy: of ine how the contain & amount » than the i accordin Dead Seg process of from the atmos 1 cut off contain present nming m of the Red Seq uld hardl Weoekls Moslems in England. ri lord Stanley of came us ithough Known 'ngineering ical engineering ARAOCIAL IONS discovery that possibilities: a dis 80 many merely scientific but commercially industrial "This a m ture of finely grann or powdore aluminum with most frequently This mixture looks not gunpowder, or to a housewife suggest mixed tea, the light granules boing aluminum, and the ones oxide of iron in hurning mixture creates a temperature, Dr. Goldschmidt expressed it In a paper road at the annual! meeting of the American Society of Mechan! cal Engineers, “about equal to that of the electric re light."--Brooklyn world 1 : tallic oxide me oxide of iron unlike would Meant What It Said.
