EXPLORATION OF THE DEAD SEA.

While our squadron was withdrawn from the
Mediterranean to operate elsewhere it rumored
that some Mexican privateers had appeared in that
sea, and indeed American vessel was actually
captured and carried into Spanish port, by vessel
under the Mexican flag. Our merchants became
alarmed and asked for the protection of their property
afoat In that quarter. The Secretary of the Navy
promptly acceded to their request. The steamer
Princeton was Withdrawn from the Gulf and dispatch
ed to Gibraltar; the Marion and a small schooner
being her consors. This squadron has been actively
engaged IN the duties assigned it, to the entire salts
faction of the government. 1t has of become
necessary to send out supply ship with the requ-
site stores for the station, but is well known that
vessels of this description compelled to remain
at particular ports for months at time, and neither
officers nor men can find much occupation as they
desire.
On the present occasion, Lieut.. Lynch, the COM
mander of the U. S. ship Supply, with Lieut.. Dale,
gentleman of great scientific attainments, have OBJ
tanned the consent of the Secretary of the Navy to
employ some of their leisure time in making visit
Lake Asphaltes, or what usually term the Dead
Sea. The Secretary has favored the project of these
gentlemen, and furnished them with several extra
boats, truck and some indispensable apparatus for
making the necessary observations. The whole ex-
Pense of this outlay is, however, but five hundred
dollars.
The expenditures heretofore authorised by our
Government for such purposes have added greatly
the materials of science, and the reputation of our
country. Those of Lewis S. Clark, of Gen. Cass,
of Captain Wilkes, and Col. Fremont, are esteemed
of very great importance.
The proposed exploration of the Dead Sea is not
only convenient but opportune. The world is much
interested in the condition of Palestine, and there
seems to be prevailing opinion that further impor-
tant discoveries aressoon to be made there.
DR.. Durbin has furnished US with the curious re-
suit of his personal examination of this celebrated
lake. Harriet Martineau visited it in April last and
has published an account of her visit.
The only person who is known to have crossed it
was an Irishman by the name of Costigan. He sue
ceeded in crossing the lake, in an open boat in the
month of July, 1885, but suffered so much fatigue
and exhaustion, and was lily prepared for the ad-
venture, that he fell sick and died. He made no
friends any verbal information on the subject during
his illness. His remains deposited in the Ameri-
can burying ground at Jerusalem.
"A great many important questions remain to be de-
termined, therefore, by Lientenants Lynch and Dale
and they are excelently well qualified to succeed in
the enterprise ". z. Jour. of Commerce.
