BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.

The correspondent Of the New York

a visit TO this standing problem ia the
natural history Of the holy land. The
genteme Of the party determined 10

sonal experience
They state that where the wafer is
five feet deep, they were go buoyed up
that they could only touch the bottom
with the points oflheir toes.
Advancing 10 where The water was
six inches deeper, their feet we're sud-
denly taken from under them, and they
were thrown 10 q horizontal position,
upon the surface Of the water. They
could not maiptain a perpendicular
position without using some effort
They then swan 10 where the water wac
very deep, and sndeavOred to sink which
they found impossible, even with some
effort, 10 do.
They could walk in the water equally
as we'll as on the land; with their headA
entirely above The surface. They found
that they could sit and converse as easy
as Oh divan. A strong breeze came on
from the south, and with it heavy
swell. They describe the sensations
produced by this riding on the sea, with
out a vessel OF plank under them as
very singular. One Of them had never
before ventured beyond his depth IN
water while here he was enabled without
the least sense Of danger 10 60 any dls-
tance from the land. They became con
vinced that what had been said respect
