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
