months old, she was taken with q very

her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after q few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.

found she was suffering from eczema,

lin.
1t is planned that these scientists
shall devote about three months to
this work, returning to Europe about
the end of January. OF this time
thirty or forty days will be spent on
the Dead Sea itself, and the rest of the
time in land work ashore. 1t is an
nounced that the Investigations will
follow on the same line with the Uni
ted States survey of the Dead Sea by
Lieutenant Lynch in 1S48, as far as
that admirable work extended. It will
follow up the lines of the Duke de
Luyne's explorations in 1864. Since
these dates no important photographic
or chemical researches have been
made. At the command of the late
sultan of Turkey DR.. Blankenhorn
made Investigations in different scien-
tific directions few years ago, whose
preliminary report touched on many
questions of much interest, but, as far
as the writer can ascertain, his final
report has not been made accessible
to scholars generally.
1t is popularity asserted that the
depth of the Dead Sea has been grad
ually increasing during the last few
decades-that is not to say that the
waters have been steadily encroach-
ing on the shores. This apparently is
proved by the existence Of partly sub
merged forests on the east shore and
by gradual disappearance of an island
that appears in sketches and photo
graphs of the north end Of the sea
made thirty or forty years ago. This
question will doubtless be authorita-
lively decided by the investigations
about to be made.
