It covers an approximate area of 2,140 \ square miles, being 50 miles wide and 75 \ miles long with an average depth of 13 feet. \ Like the Dead Sea in Palestine, it is fed by \ the Jordan River, but has no known outlet \ other than evaporation. The Salt Shrimp is the \ only living insect known to exist therein. The \ water is 21 per cent salt and thousands of \ tons of salt are shipped annually from this source. \\ The water of the lake is so heavy, one can- \ not sink, affording the most delightful bathing \ in the world, which is enjoyed by thousands \ each season. c.l. printed along left edge: DESERT BOOK COMPANY, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH l.c. to u.c. printed transverse: GENUINE CURTEICH-CHICAGO "C.T.
