PERSIAN gulf: SPRINGS. Fresh Water That Bubblka Up From the Bed of tha Ocean. " Bahrein Island, In the Persian gulf. Is said to be tbe hottest place on earth. It Is usual there to find tbe thermom eter at 140 degrees F. ' On tbe coast of this island, where practically all tbe people live, there is no fresh water, which is needed above all things In so high a temperature, t And It Is to be bad from the bottom of the sis. Here and there scattered over the Boor of the harbor of Bahrein are springs of purevr8b ' wnten " which wells' np through the sand to mingle with the salt water of the sea. V:' -. ; If seems a difficult task to And these threads of fresh water amid the ocean's volume, but the Islanders are thought to have f'Aind them ages ago and to have passed on their location from generation vto generation. A ' diver equips himself with a water bag made of skins, the mouth of which is closed, and ileHtvnds to tbe bottom of the har bor at a point where one of the springs Issues. The bag Is cnrefully , Inverted over the current of fresh water as It flows up from tbe sand.- the mouth Is opened, the skin is filled, the mouth is closed, and the diver returns to the boat awaiting him on tbe surface. ' One scientist gives it as his belief that at some period In the shadowy. past that which Is now the harbor's bottom was not covered by tbe sea, The springs were then .on the shore and ready for the Islanders' needs.' Lit tle by little the sea encroached on the land, but the location of the -springs was not forgotten. : ' An Annoying Speed Limit. ; An old man 'of nearly eighty years walked ten' miles from bis home to an adjoining town. : When he reached his destination lie was greeted with some astonishment by an Acquaintance. ; "Yqii walked all the way?" the latter exclaimed.
