The DEAD SEA.
Some Interesting Facts About This
Curious Body Of Water.

SSb'V susSs SSs'9 ava sNSONs bubO
Curious Body Of Water.
For a number Of years many persons
have declared the Dead sea, in Pales.
tine, is diminishing, but recent care
full survey by experts has established
beyond all doubt that the sea Is steadi.
~ increasing.
At many points on it's southern and
eastern borders there are vast forests
with large trees becoming submerged.
The sea is about forty miles in length
and ten miles wide at the broadcast por.
ton. Should it continue to enlarge 1t
will take in valuable country, but, so
far as known. there is no way to pre-
vent this.
Mediterranean waters are 1900 feet
higher than the Dead sea level. but
this is no proof the waters Of the Dead
sea are drying up.
A survey Of the wonderful region Of
years ago shows islands that are now
gone. 1t is declared these are covered.
There is so much solid matter in the
water that it makes about one-f1fth, or
20 per cent. Of the matter solid. It Is
30 intensely salt and bitter that no crea.
ture can live in it.
The bed Of the sea is rich with min.
eral deposits. Salts. copper, lead and
zinc and marble are found in vast guam.
titles, and experts are of the opinion
there is great deposit of petroleum
beneath the vast body of water.
A mans body is lighter than the
amount Of water it displaces, and It is
therefore impossible for person to
sink.
Vegetation is scarce and greatly
stunted for miles about the sea.

The tuatara, or tuatera, is an almost
extinct lizardlike reptile (sphenodon
punctatum). now found only on GER
tain rocky islets in the Bay Of Plenty,
northern New Zealand. It is Of great
scientific interest for the reason that
it is the only surviving representative
Of the order Of prosauria, or primitive
reptiles, and is therefore a sort Of 'liv-
ing FOSSIL" It was formerly hunted for
food. but is now protected by law in
New Zealand.
