aaIt "a FresI, water Lakeo.


Fresh watnr lakes are always only
expansions OF rivers, due to the par
gicular typographical confguration OF
valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
ceive runs out either continuously or
internationally and that the chemical
constitution of their water remains
constantly the same as that Of the
streams and rivers of the same region.
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al
ways closed basins, without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being well
understood, we see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water is ma
ture's great solvent. Hardly single
substance, simple or compound, es-
capes its dissolving action. Conse-
Quently the water that flows over the
earth's surface or in its depths con-
tains constantly In solution substances
that finally accumulate In the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass, removed only by evaporation,
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter.
