Salt water, so strengthening ordin-

warm. On most ocean boats there Is
an abundance of warm water in the
bathrooms, and the daily salt bath is
a great tonic, but beware of getting 1t
too hot. 1t will turn you faint If you
do, even If you are accustomed to an

"MALEv AND "FeMALE" SALT.
Peculiar Character Of Soil Obtained
Near Atbara River, In Soudan.

An account of the extraction of salt
from earths obtained near the Atbara
river, in the Soudan, is found in the
second report of the Welcome Re
search Laboratories of Gordon Memo
rial college (Khartum). According to
Mr.. Tursteg, of the Egyptian Survey
department. the natives employ two
different kinds of earths, one contain
ing what they call male" and the
other female salt. Says the writer
of the report:
Neither of these, II was stated, was
edible If taken alone, but If the earths
were mixed they furnish a salt of good
quality"
Curiously enough, the belief of the
natives is confirmed by chemical an
alysis, which is thus explained by the
writer:
The male salt contains such a
large proportion OF sodium sulphate
CGlaubers saltO as would render IL
of little use as a table salt Similarly.
the female salt contains an excessive
proportion of calcium Chord. By
combining the two in about the pro-
portion of say two parts of male to
one part of female, the two impuri-
ties would unite to form calcium sui
phate, and the proportion of sodium
Chord (common salt would be not
ably increased. on boiling down. the
calcium sulphate would separate in
part. and form the concentrated
mother liquor a good quality OF salt
could be obtained by further evapo.
