SPOTS or LIFE IN DEAD SEA
en.u Fish and Other Living Creatures
Have Been Observed in Desc.
late Waters.

The Dead sea is not quite so DESC
late as was represented by early writ
ers, who pictured it as utterly without
life with sterile shores, and SO pestl-
lential that even birds flying over were
liable to fall dead. Though 46 miles
in length and more than o miles IN
greatest breadth, it is especially not
able as being the greatest depression
on the earth, its surface being 1900
feet lower than that Of the Mediter-
ranean. The rainfall Is slight, but the
great volume Of water poured In by
the Jordan raises the surface lO or
IS feet at times, though, with no out
LET. this inflow Is all evapOrated in the
dry season. The water has become
very dense and bitter. while fioatlng
masses Of bitumen elected from the
bottom and sulphur deposited from
springs along the shore add to the un'
attractiveness. It is true that neither
animal nor vegetable life Is to be
found in the safest parts OF the sen,
but DR.. W. G. Masterton, in an ac-
count to the Royal Geographical So
ciety, stated that near the shores,
where small brackish streams find en-
trance, occur small fish, crabs and
MOSQUITO larvae. At spot where he
and other travellers saw fish actively
swimming, the water was found to
contain not less than 1873 per cent Of
solids. There are many places along
the shore where acres Of reeds and
many trees flourish, and at such spots
birds and other animal life are abun-
dant.
