Whole villages have ^ten built along the shores where the clt les of Sodom and Gomorrah are said to have stood, and where David took refuge. The Dead Sea Is a first-rate geological puzzle. Six million tons of water flow into it every day from the River Jordan, and yet there is no outlet. The surface of the water, some thirteen hundred feet below the level of the Mediterranean, somehow gives up that much moisture Into the thin, dry air. And strange, bluewljlto clouds hang over the surface, giving a fantastic sheen to the lake? as the "AP" roporter described it.
