The Dead Sea.

Being w,hou, an outlet, evaporation is
the ouly escape Of the water pouring into
il by the river Jordan aud some other
streams. Each brings into that extraor-
binary reservoir. which is depression in
the ear,h's crust thirteen hundred feet be-
low the water level Of the Mediterranean,
an immense mass Of materials which must
at las, fill it up. when the Jordan will
then run on beyond aud find an outle, to
h sea, IL the world remains in its present
physical form long enough The Jordan
watts down ninety cubic yards Of water
every second. Each day il carries in six
aud a half bushels Of salt. liberated from
rocks. on its passage, in each ninety cubic
yards. Therefore that dreadful salt, bit
ter reservoir has nearly reached the point
of sa,uraiion. When no more salt can be
dissolved. then it will accumulate on the
irregular bottom till it reaches quite near
the present surface. Its future will have
quite a. much interest for coming ages ns
