DOOM OF GREAT SALT LAKE
Scientists Say II viii Dry Up Within
Half a Century.

Statistics Indicate that Great Salt
lake. the Dead sea OF America. Is
doomcd-thnt 1t is gradually drying
up. The opinion now almost UNIVERSAL
ly prevails among scientists that this
mysterious body of water. located at
an altitude OF 1910 feet above the sea
level and 1000 miles inland. and
which has but single rival. the Dead
sea of Palestine. is certain within the
course OF half century to disappear
from the map. Some scientists. who
have made careful study Of the fiuc-
tuations Of the lake for the past sever
al years. even declare that It will BIO
dried up within n quarter OF n CEN
fury.
Sixteen years ago, in 1886. the area
of the lakes surface was estimated at
about 200 square miles. Taking
twenty feet MS the average depth at
that time. one may estimate 1.5o5.-
433.600.000 cubic feet as the contents
OF the lake. To-day. according to re-
cent surveys. the lake has an area of
about 2,125 square miles. Multiplying
this number by liz. the number OF
feet In depth OF the water that has dis.
appeared and not been replaced. gives
669, IT'S. 10000 cubic feet as the guam
tity of water less than what the lake
had sixteen years ago.
Observers of the lake have assigned
three causes for the shrinkage of It's
water. They are evaporation. irriga-
ton and n subterranean outlet that
some suppose to exist. There are ar
dent advocates of each OF these theor-
los
