A Remarkable Spring.

One of the most remarkable springs
in the world, says j. A. Eddy in the
Engineering and Mining journal, has
recently been discovered In New
Mexico. 1t is literally spring
saturated with sodium suIphate. Dis
titled water weighs 1-3 pounds per
gallon; the water of this spring
weighs 10 % pounds. The tempera-
ture of the spring Is little over ITO
degrees Fahrenheit. AS the saturated
liquid overf1ows and cools, il forms
crystalline mass like ice, which, In
the course of ages, has spread into q
snow-white bed of sodium salts, miles
in extent and as level as a lake. The
warm brine, Mr.. Eddy reports, is
inhabited by minute shrimp like
organism, and species of plant is
found growing in the dry expanse of
sodium sulphate.
