of official life, augurs well for the
winter.
From the butterfly viewpoint, the
office of the assistant secretary of ag-

the slightest interest in the social
amenities, beyond figuring with the
head of the department on solemn &C.

tant from the north end OF the sea.
The explanation of this description Is
found in some most interesting geo.
logical facts.
At the present time the Dead sea
Is AZ miles long, with an average
breadth of five or six miles. It's sur
face Is 1900 feet lower than that Of
the Mediterranean, so that it has no
outlet, and it's area Is determined by
the equilibrium between the rainfall
of the valley draining into it and the
evaporation from its surface. The
northern half of the sea is 1909
feet deep, while the southern end is
nowhere more than 16 feet deep, and,
about a third of the way up, 1t is
so shallow that Arab tribes can ford
it with their mules and camels. But
at the present time there Is no bay
at either end, and, as we have said,
Beth-hoglah Is several miles north Of
the sea. The explanation Of the
apparent discrepancy between the
biblical account and the present to-
biography is found in what geology
teaches us about the rapidity with
which sediment is brought down and
deposited upon the shores Of the sea
by the streams Of water flowing
into it.
have estimated that since Joshua's
time two cubic miles Of gravel, sand
and mud have been deposited around
the shores of the sea. There is q
well defined delta Of the Jordan ex-
tending from Beth-hoglah to the pres
ent head Of the sea. The brook Ced-
lem, has pushed out delta Of peb-
bles and coarse gravel into the west
ern side of the sea, about a mile
long and half mile wide, and SO of
all the other numerous wadies that
come down from the precipitous noun
tains on either side. These sediments
are constantly encroaching upon the
sea, and diminishing the area Of it's
surface, thus decreasing the evapora-
ton. The result must be that the wa
tiers would rise until they spread over
the low places at the south end, thus
to re-establish the equilibrium be-
tween the precipitation and the evap-
grafton.
1t is clear, therefore, that in
Joshua's time the north half Of the
sea was both wider and longer than
now, so that its level was considerably
lower, and that bay extended up to
Beth-hoglah and another at the south
end, thus verifying the description
given in the boundaries. But as the
sedimentation narrowed the area at
that lower level 1t compelled the wa
ter to rise and overflow the land at
the south end where now the sea Is
shallow, and where probably the ruins
of Sodom and Gomorrah are sub
merged.
Among the other places where ex-
tensive deltas have been formed we
may mention that the city OF Adria.
on the Pc in Italy, which in classic
times was a seaport, is now left at
the head of a delta IA miles inland.
Tientsin on the Gulf Of Pichili in
China, was a seaport 200 B. G. Since
then sediment from the Chinese riv-
ers has pushed the shore line into
the sea 80 miles, making Tientsin an
inland city. Few people realize the
rapidly with which existing rivers
are building up deltas about their
mouths.
