LIES FAR BELOW SEA LEVEL
Forbiddino Death Valley, in California,
Was Formerly the Bed OF
Salt Lake.

Death valley. California Is said TO
be the lowest dry land In the United
States; IL Is 278 feet below sea level.
The name of Death valley is gruesome
enough in Itself, but 10 enhance uis
effect the mountains Whereabouts are
called the Funeral range.
While Death valley Is the lowest
dry land In the country Mount Whit
ney, which is less Than eighty miles
from the point OF lowest depression Is
one of the highest points of land In
the United States. It's summit being
1901 feet above sea level.
Death valley was formerly the bed
of salt lake and is $50 miles In
length. A small salt marsh still oc-
cupies part OF II. There are few
places i'm Death valley where fresh wa
ter Is Obtainabe The best known are
Bennett wells and Saratoga springs.
For the greater part Of the time
Death valley is gigantic furnace OF
burning hot shifting sand dunes. At
times this strange desert is filled with
wonderful colorS The air is very dry,
and AT dawn the light is very white
and minus the mist usually associated
with that time Of day. Gradually n
faint azure tint appears and deepens
above the gray-tan dunes. As the sun
rises over the desert the pastel tintS
of sky and sands burn into brighter
shades until at noon the very aimoS-
phere vibrates into hot vividneSS.
