ROOM FOR ANOTHER BUREAU
According to Professor Fritz Haber of the Univer
sity of Berlin, it is possible to extract gold from sea
water. Going further, Dr. Georges Claudes, well known
French scientist, after testing the water of the Dead
Sea, claimed that the average of gold of sea water was
as one in four millions. That is in four million parts of
sea water there could be found only one part of gold.
A solid cube of gold, measuring one cubic foot, there
fore could be got from four million cubic feet of sea
water, or an expanse of sea water one foot deep and
two thousand feet, or two-fifths of a mile square. The
value of such gold whose weight would be about 1,200 j
pounds, would be approximately $410,000.
The water of the Dead Sea is five times as dense!
as that of other bodies of water, or approximately 25!
percent salt. It is estimated that two hundred and fif- j
teen million cubic feet of water enters the Head Sea j
daily, and one hundred and fifty-six million feet are
evaported during the same period. Yet; with no outlet
the sea maintains a constant level.
Thus Dr. Claude estimates the gold content of the
Tk_O - . L 1 'll* 1 II > » • i .
xjxzctu oect m inyy uimuii uuuars, ui which une-imra
’Could be extracted each year.
It is also claimed that tnere are seventy billion dol
lars worth of chemicals, including chloride (potassium
sodium and magnesium), bromine, chlorine, caustic!
soda and calcium chloride, that may be extracted from!
the Dead Sea. . j
These figures are startling in their magnitude.
Just think if Washington should get the “yen” to turn
to the Pacific Ocean with its 68,634,000 square miles,
containing—you say it—-cubic feet of water—several
yards of figures and ciphers—worth of gold! Then the
ocean reserves, with the salt water bureau!
No wonder England wants to renig on naval ar
mament. Think of the job of policing such a body of;
water and protecting the private yachts, not to mention
the octopus and shark bureau set to keen these mar
dions of the deep outside the reserves while the claim
holder baled up a few gallons of gold water from Davy
Jones locker!
Seward basketball fans and friends of the girls
