Its waters are six times as salty as the occam Put Ave bucketfuls In a tank, lei It evaporate and one bucket fful of pure Malt will bo left. A bath In Its buoyant waters Is both del i gh t - ful and exhilarating. Saltalr? an Im mense, crescent-shaped, domed and towered bathing pavilion? has been built out Into the lake 2,000 feet from shore. The lake contains eight Islands, your rivers empty fresh water Into It, but Its surface neither rises nor falls. Hav ing no outlet, it gets rid of the excess water by evaporation. Scientists figure that the lake con tains mote than 8, 000, 000, 000 tons of salt and almost 800,000,000 tons of sul phate of soda. Allowing GO tons to a carload, that would be 133,333,333 cars of salt and 13,333,333 cars of soda. Assuming 40 feet as the average length of a freight car and you have a train of salt 1,010,101 miles long and a train of soda 101,010 miles long. The aver age speed of a freight train is about 20 miles an hour: Running at this speed, day and night, It would take the two trains over six years to pass a given point. The value of these e?rgo<>!> would be probably $10,000,000,000. | Evei^cdjf's Attention i ' ? ? i! has been called to the remarkable \ fuel ? cc cured with Cole's ?7'r .!?*, ,'ur.i Hot Blast Heaters. i' Co: [ v cjo arc klgli ? why be a ^!ave to j: r;: ? c:_ :? :va^ar/c kea tinj plant or r.tove. that i? a cl ^aicn for facl.
