son is long enough for ripening the hops ;
land is very cheap, to be had almost for
the asking; labor costs but trifle; the
soil requires little preparation; the hops
could be gathered for half the price paid
in Oregon; the freightage would all be in
sailing vessels, which is cheapness itself.
These are strong inducements, and if the
first is true, the prospect, certainly, has
every thing in its favor. Hop growers

MILES AND MILES OF SALT.
The Saline Incrust"tion Of the Ea.
mOms PcrsLnm Desert.

nous Persian Desert.
One of the natural curiositcs of Asia il
the Great Salt Desert of Persia, which
covers ii large territory about 70 miles
south of Teheran. c.. E. Biddulph, who
recently visited this place, says that
Daryai Namak is an extensive tract of
ground, sloping on all sides toward the
center, covered with an incrustation OF
solid salt several feet thick in most
places, while in some parts it is of un.
known depth. AS he saw it from the
mountain top it stretched away for
many miles, appearing like vast frozen
lake. 1t extended as far as the eye
could reach toward the south and west,
and glistcned in the sun like a sheet of
glass.
His party finally approached the mar
gin of the salt plain and decided to cross
it. They found swampy ground for
mile or SO and then entered upon the
>heet of salt itself. Near the edge the
inrustation was thin and the salt sheet
WIS soft, sloppy and mixed with earth.
A. a distance of three or four miles from
,ic edge the salt looked like solid ice as
t is seen on any pond in northern lati
'udes during the winter. The surface
vas not quite level, but resembled that
nf ice " hich had partially thawed and
then frozen again after a slight fall of
snow. OF the solidity Of this incrusta
ton there could be no doubt, for camels,
i'orses and mules were travelling over it
without II vibration of any kind being
p-rceptible.
After marching for about eight miles
upon this unusual surface tie party
halted to examine its composition They
tried, by means of hammer and an iror
tent peg, to break off block of salt to
carry away as a specimen. The salt,
however, was SO very hard that they
could make no impression upon it, They
managed at last in another place to chip
off a lot of fragments which were of the
purest white. In two or three days they
had absorbed so much moisture that they
became soft and slaty-blue in color
