MORE SALTY THAN, THE DEAD SEA


y Ton Of Great Salt Lake Water Holds
About 31A. Pounds Of Salt.
s Water Of the Great Salt lake varies
greatly In its contents OF dissolved SOL
ids, depending upon the relation between
the supplyof water through streams and
the evaporation. A fair average Of total
solids dissolved in thewater OF the lake
sat its present mean level is from 10 to
40 per cent by weight But not all Of
this is common salt, for besides this in
gre1ient the water contains sodium sui
sphats (glanber salts. magnesium chic!
ride, calcium sulphatet tgypsuml and po-
tassium snlphate A detailed analysis
Of water taken. from the lake in Au.
gust, 1883, was made by DR.. Talmage.
This contained i'm all 10. 56 per cent dis
eeOlved soliGs, of which IS. "a was COM
lmon salt Such water would yield Of
total solid matter, 391 pounds to the tom,
and OF common salt about 314 pounds
to the ton. fs& 6aEss.ssseS Ej,as,#ssS@1 =
s-s The Dead sea contains agreater pro-
pOrtion of solid matter dissolved i'm its
waters than does the Great Salt lake.
/ Much discrepancy exists ,amongi pub
1 lished accounts of Its contents, the f1uc-
ataations in composition being due to
/ the same canses that prevail In our lake
--yix, the relation between the supply
through infiowing streams and loss by
!. evaporation. A sample taken from a
depth, Of l.I10 feet carries %. 4 per cent
OF dissolved solids. This corresponds to
528 pounds to the. ton, but Of this only
't7.55 per cent was common salt, or 15l
pounds per ton. s.@ -
Therefore, though the Salt lake car
ries a lower proportion of dissolved sol
ids of all sorts than does the Dead sea,
the lake contains more than double the
proportion of salt. The chief solid con-
stituent Of the Dead sea water is not So
dunn chloride common salt), but mag
nesium chloride. Strictly speaking, the
water of our lake is much "brinier"
than that of the Dead sea, common salt
being the chief solid dissolved in the
lnlzz lEsperkhSleas the Dead saais much
more highly saturated with solids. --
