Of France and the strength Of Ger,

Some idea Of the saltness OF the wa
fers of the Dead sea may be gained
from the comparison made below. The
Dead sea is situated in Palestine, 20
miles east Of Jerusalem. 1t Is 50 miles
long and from 10 to - miles wide, with
an average depth of 20 fathoms 12O
feet. Common ocean water contains
but 30 parts of salt to the 1000. Those
of the Dead sea contain 2J0 parts to the
1000. which makes the briny solution
exactly One-fourth salt.
