Biologists say the Salton sink" as

times has changed from desert to sea
and from sea to desert SO times or
more:
Becomes Inland Sea.
For centuries the Colorado river
would flow quietly to the Gulf OF Call

spring flood would cause washout IN

for centuries perhaps, until some
great flood would carve out shorter
way to the ocean. The sea would be
drained and the region relapse into
a desert.
Mud volcanoes abound near the sea,
a short distance inland. They are OF
all sizes up to great mounds 10 1eet
in height. They all emit steam, some
in a steady stream, others steam ana
mud alternately. Many Of them give
out sulphurous gas. At times their
roaring can, be heard for miles.

OF Interest to Tourists.
OF especial interest to the tourists
are the bubbling 'paintpots." AS the
water retreats it is in q state OF con-
slant ebullition. Gases from some IN
known subterranean source are con-
tinually finding escape through unseen
vents in the bottom. Layer after
layer of colored pigment is deposited.
The retreating waters have left uncov-
cred acres of this deposit, said by eS-
perts to be. fully equal to ), the dry
sienna and lumber colors Of which so
much is imported.
It is thought that the shrinkage or
the Salton sea will continue until it
finally becomes salt "sink" with a
pool of brackish water in the center,
