According to this report, the whole
town of Evanston looked as if it had
been whitewashed. When the sky
cleared the roofs glistened in the sun
as IL with frozen snow. The weather
bureau man estimated that in the town
OF Evanston an amount of salt eQuiva.
lent to % tons had fallen.
The shower lasted about two hours,
and during all this time the rain which
fell was saline.
This phenomenon is far from being
q new one. The wind was from the
west, and all the rains that are i'm.
pregnated with salt in that region come
from that quarter. The cause is not
hard to find. 1t is simply the Great
Salt lake OF Utah, that vast body OF
intensely salt water, out of which, un.
der f%avorably conditions, a consider.
able quantity OF salt may be taken up
into the atmosphere, to be precipitated
later upon the surrounding country.
