Typographical, Engineers, who has bee 4
employed for a long time past in the survey
of the Great Basin, in which the Salt Lake il
situated, speaks of the Lake as an object o.
the greatest curiosity. The wafer is abou'
one third salt, yielding that amount on boil
ing. Its density is considerably greater thai
that of the Dead Sea.-One can hardly ge
his whole body below the surface. In
sitting position, the head AMI shoulders will
remain above wafer, such is the strength o
the brine, and on coming to the shore tn
body is covered over with an incrustation o
salt, in fine crystals.-The most surprising
thing about it is the fact, that during the
summer season the:Lake throws on shor'
abundance of salt, when in the winter sea
son it throws up glouber salt in large quan
