...much of the present Gulf of Mexico was covered by a shallow sea, connected with the open ocean by an even shallower strait. The climate must have been hot and dry, and the sea evaporated rapidly, drawing fresh salt water in through the strait. Its brine became saturated and deposited crystalline salt, which eventually formed a bed thousands of feet thick...
Later the climate grew wetter, and the rivers cleared the shallow sea of its heavy brine. Some of the salt on the bottom probably dissolved, but the rest was protected by sediment washed down from the land. As the sediment grew thicker, it pressed on the underlying salt, and the salt (comparatively light and plastic) billowed up through it like slow-motion bubbles rising in a viscous liquid...
...then, the new $150,000 arena now being completed adjacent to Dillon Field House, will be put to its first formal use. Then, over 1800 gallons of cooled brine will speed through ten miles of pipe every minute, and eight sets of 6000-watt light fixtures will illumine a 200-by-35-foot playing surface...

...miles a day, pickled his face and hands in beef brine, and became a symbol of invincibility around the world. He fought from a crouch-the "Jeffries crouch"-his bullet head and meaty body low, his left outthrust, his right cocked to mete out instant doom. He beat Joe Choynski, Tom Sharkey, Gus Ruhlin, beat Fitzsimmons again, knocked out Jim Corbett twice. In 1905, at 29, he ran out of opponents and retired, wealthy and undefeated, to raise cattle and prize dogs on his ranch at Burbank, Calif, and enjoy the plaudits due a superman...
