but particularly one out of a rock, which is fo ftrong that 
in a hot fummer’s day the furface will be covered with a 
pure white l'alt. Brine fprings are alfo found at Wefton, 
in Sraffordfliire ; at Namptwich and Northwich, at the 
confluence of the Weever and the Dan ; and in many other 
parts of ^England, fo as to render it probable that there is 
an immenfe body of folfile fait in the bowels of the earth,, 
jn fome of the counties where thefe fprings exid. At Mid- 
dleyvich, which (lands'at the confluence of the Croke and 
the Dan, there are (alt fprings with a frelli brook running 
between them. The brines from thefe pits are of unequal 
flrength ; but, when mixed, they commonly obtain four 
ounces of fait from a pound of brine.* Experience fbews, 
that in thefe fprings the water is dronged nearefl the bot¬ 
tom, richer 1 in dry weather than in wet. and when long 
drawn titan when fird wrought. But the(e changes do not 
occur in other fait fprings, fmCe in thofe of i lie ci-devant 
Franche Comte the brine is (trongefl in wet weather. There 
are feveral other bodies diflblv.ed in thefe brines befides 
fait; in fome a fulphureous fubftance, which-fublimes as 
the brine heats ; a fort of dirty ochre which difcolours the 
brine, but, if differed to Hand, fpeedily fubfides; and in 
mod brines a felenitic earth, which fettles to the bottom 
of the pans. See Salt.
