Salt.


Although salt forms part of the daily
food of nearly the whole of the human
race yet few have any i3ea Of its consump.
tion. Salt is compound of two sub
stances, a metal and gaseous body The
metal ia called sonium, and the gas chic.
rine; and as chemists always endeavor to
use such terms as they think will convey
a clear idea of the things they describe,
salt in chemical language is termed "
chloride of sodium. The ocean Which
flows to ,very part Of the earth affords
its inhabitants an inexhaustible supply
of salt and last it might be thought
that nature had not in this respect been
sufficiently bountiful, she supplies from
the bowels of the earth" We have salt
mines yielding" rock salt" and salt
springs which, in many instances, are far
away from the ocean, such as those at
Syracuse, N. Y, in America. The salt
mines in Catalonia, in Hungary, aud Po-
land, are Of an enormous extent. A salt
mine at Wilisea, near Cracow, 10 Poland,
has been worked Cor more than six hun
dred years. Within it is found kind
OF subterraneous republic. which has its
polity, laws, families. sc. When trav.
eler has arrived OF tho bottom of this
strange abyss, he is surprised at the long
sories OF lofty vaults sustained with huge
pillars of rock salt, aud which appear by
the light of the fambcaux to be so many
crystals of precious stones. Tue most
remarkable property Of salt is its solubil'
ity in water hence it is supposed that
the sea washing over beds or strata OF
salt has in consequence become saline, as
we now fiud il. The use of salt with
food is obvious from an analysis of the
blood and the gastric juice. With the
addition of water, and under certain in
6ucnces, salt changes its composition.
Water being composed Of hydrogen aud
oxygen, the change in. salt which takes
place by means of the vital force, produ'
ces soda for the blood and hydrochloric'
acid for tho stomach. As soda is inyar-
iably found in the blood, and hydrochlo'
ric acid in the stomach aud as the blood
aud the stomach play their part correctly
enough in our daily life, we can come to
no other conclusion than that salt, which
supplies these materials, is absolutely
necessary to our we'll being. Salt is not
only useful to man in its primitive con
dition, but as it affords soda, its value is
mauifestly increased, The manufacture
of soda from salt in England is Que Of
