Other large defirisita are -found - -in • Cheshire, where - water is forced down by pipes Into the Alt ; and is again pumped up as-brine, which is-evaporated and the salt obtaitted. 'To such au : extent has this been carried that one town in the ,"salt . country," as it is :called, has azircely an upright house in it,all the foundx fioui baring sunk with the ground, to fill up the cavity . left by the extracted salt. - Virginia there are beds ofsalt, arid the Salmon Mountains, in Oregon, are capablesof ritfartlinglarge quantities of the same materi al.. The . brine springs of Salina' and Syra cuse-are well known and from about. forty gallons of their brine,one bu,sliel of salt is oh- Lair - red, --There are also extensive salt springs, in Ohio. The brine is pumped up from wells made in the rock, and into which it flows and, urns into boilers. The boilers are large' iron kettles Set in brickwork, end when fires ale - lighted under them, the brine is 'quickie evaporated. The mount the brine begins to boil,it becomes turbid,from the compounds c.i* F.e that: it contains, and which, are solu ble lit cold, but not in hot water; these first rediments are taken out with ladles called "bittern ladles," and. the salt being next de posited from the brine is carried away to drain and dry. 'The - ' remaining liquid con tains a great_quantity of magnesia in various forms, - and gives. it the name "of "bittern" from the taste peculiar to magnesia in every form 'But how did this salt come into the rock!' is the natural query, and the wpnder seems iireitefivlien we recollect that salt-beds are to , . una - tti nearly every ,one of the strata cont .> posing the earth's crust.
