The Salt Mountain of Palestine.
Sclah Merrill, l‘nited States (‘ousul at
J erusalcm, says: Palestine passcsses a
remarkable salt mountain situated at the
south end of the Dead Sea.
width of three-quarters of a mile, and
the height is not. far from 600 feet.
There are places where thin "overlying
earthly deposits are many feet in thick-
ness, but the mass of the mountain is
composed of solid rock salt,'somo of
which is as clear as crystal. How far
this deposit of salt extends below the
surface of the ground. no one at; present
knows.
which is on the shore of the Dead Sea.
approaches very close to the water, and
at. others it recedes until it is fifty or more
yards from it. Just here the water of
the Dead Sea is much more salt than it is
at the north end, where the Jordan enters ’
h
the lake. ,
The salt is a government monopoly.
The same is true of the salt that is com
taiucd in solution in the Dead Sea itself.
If Arabs or the natives of the count
were found getting salt from the shords
of the Dead Sea or from this salt me n-
taln, they would be arrested at ce.
Moat of the salt used in Hebron, crusa-
lem, and elsewhere in this part of Paleo-
tine. comes from these sources. but it is
gathered under the direction of vern-
ment oflicere’, and the revenue I sup-
posed to go the government.

the glaciers, no reliable data are forth~l
coming. It may be remembered that:
Agassiz, in the series of investigations"
and measurements which he carried out
on Aar glaciers over forty years ago, ex-

He estimated tlzc depth of the Aar gla-

Punishment by Electricity.
A invent named Henri Roget. hailing
from Lyons, has a new use for electricity.
lie has a patent to apply it as a snbxti-
tutc for the cetxo‘vnine-tails in corporal
punishment. The culprit, having been
undressed, is securely strapped to a ~tcel
triangle, which is connected with one
pole of a powerful battery. The other
pole is connected with a. whip, which
consists of a number of steel wires cov-
in water before the stroke is adminisx
tcred, and wherever the wet wires touch
an electric discharge takes lace. The
inventor claims that the c tisement-
can be made so mild as not to injure a
schoolgirl, while, on the other hand, by
punishment can be administered beside
which the knout would be more child‘s
lay, and at. the some time no injury is
mflicted, the disgustio acle of a
lacerated back is avoi ed. and the cab
it, instead of having to be sent; to the
capital to have his wounds healed, can
be put to work in five minute: after the
flogging is oven—Chicago fim .

The Products of Coal.
