4 BATH IN THE DEAD SEA

A correspondent of the Washington Sar
VINO mas h2d a bath in the Dead Sea, de-
SchOes his experience as follows The
water, which is quite clear, and nearly the
color of the Niagara river below the falls
seemed to me little more bitter and salt
than that Of Salt Lake although brighter and
more attractive than when close at hand Its
supporting power struck me as little great

h0aed more easily and the difficulty of
swimming was greater on account of the ina
olllty to keep ones feet under water. So
large quantity of salt is held in solution
that the water has what is called, believe
'ropy appearance, much like that of n
plate of well made tapioca soup. observed
however, that when we came out of the
water there was not so large a deposit of salt
crystals on the body as after bath in Salt
Lake, and the feeling OF the skin, instead Of
being dry and pricky, as | expected WAS
rather oily and sticky. Our dinner that
night was seasoned with salt made from,
Dead Sea water by Solar evaporation. 1t
was little lighter in color than the best
brown sugar. Its crystals were large and
hard, and though foreign substances were
evidently present in considerable quantity.
1t was not unpleasant to the taste. WAS
toid that two quarts of the water will pro-
duce one quart Of salt, but this is probably an
exaggeration. To complete the statistics of
this remarkable body of water, NAV add
what many Of my readers may already know
that there is no living thing of any kind
in it ; that even the driftwood brought down
by the floods in the Jordan is speedily cast
upon Its shores that its length is about for
ty-hve and its greatest width about ten miles.
that 1t is over 300 feet deep at the deepest
place; and that the immense quantity of
fresh water poured into it daily is undoubt.

WHAT A KICK DID FOR SIR ISAAC
NEWTON.

If we would bring before us Isaac Newton
now fairly started on his scientific career we
may imagine quiet young man, not above
middle height, of most sedate and humble
carriage, never seemingly angry, of profound
thought, his countenance mild, pleasant and
comley;' who could be drawn from his
chambers by none of the recreations in
which most young men delight; who seldom
went out except to read his lectures; whose
time was spent in mathemat cal calculations
and in experiments in optics, chemistry and
alchemy whom students described as
mighty famous for his learning, a most ex-
cellent philosopher and divine; tn whose
rooms in college foreigners resorted. anxious
to converse with the man of trapscendent
genius. We think of this young man IA
growing gray at thirty, so much absorbed in
his studies that he often forgot his meals or
sat up all night when his chemical expert
ments required watching.
When Isaac was twelve years old he went
to Grantham to attend the Grammar school
and boarded at the house of Mr.. Clark. an
apothecary AT that time there was more
prospect of his making good mechanic than
great scholar according to his own ac-
count, given later, lie was inattentve TO his
studies, and allowed his school. fellows TO
out-strip hun, but one day when he was the
last in the lowest form but one, while on his
way to school he was kicked in the stomach
by the boy who ranked next above him. The
pain was severe, and though the smaller of
the two, the future philosopher after school
challenged his assalant to fight Encour-
aged by the schoolma,ter's sou the two boys
fought in earnest; spirit aud agility made up
for l-alc's inferior stature, aud his opponent

HERCULANEUM AND P0MPEII.

Next year will be the eighteenth centena-

resulted in the total destruction of Hercu-
laneum and Pompeii, and a proposal has
been made in Italy to celebrate the event in
some suitable manner. The people, howev-

demonstrations in honor of Italia Irredenta

to the idea, but it now appears that it will
be carried out in manner totally unexpect.
