influence of the fresh water from the tributary streams would not be felt, 



and made with the utmost care and thoroughness by Prof 0. D, Allen, of 



New Haven, gave the following results: 



One thousand (1,000) parts of water evaporated to dryness left a solid 



residuum of —

An analysis of this solid residuum gave:
