EAery readers has heard Of Salt Lake, but
very few persons know any thing Of its extent
and peculiar nature. A writer speaks thus.
That this lake should be salt is no anomaly
All large bodies. of water into which streams
discharge themselves, while they have sever
ally no outlet, are or should be salt If one
such is fresh, that is an anomaly indeed Lake
Utah probably receives as much saline matter
as Salt Lake, but she discharges It through
the Jordan and remains herself fresh; while
Salt Lake, having no issue save BY evapora-
ton, is probably the safest body of water on
earth The ocean is comparatively fresh;
even the Mediterranean, at Leghorn is not
half so salt / am told that three barrels of
this water yield barrel Of salt that seems
rather strong, yet its intent saltness no one
who has pot had it in his eyes, his mouth, his
nostrils, can realize You can no more sink
in it than in clay bank but n very little Of il
in your lungs would suffice to strangle you.
You make your way in from a hot, rocky
beach, over a chaos of volcanic basal that is
trying 70 the feet; but at the depth Of a yard
or more you have fine sand bottom and here
the bathing is delightful
The water is of a light green color for ten or
twenty rods, then deeply, darkly, beautifully
blue No fish can live in it no frog abides
in it; few birds are ever seen dipping in IT,
