How the Sea became Brlny.

This world was once a hazS OF fluid light,
as the poets and the men OF science agree In
informing us. As soon as IL began TO cool a
little, the heavier materials naturally sank
toward the center. while the lighter, now
represented by the ocean and the atnos-
pherc, hoated in gaseous condition on the
outside But the development Of yapor thus
produced did not consist merely Of the con-
stituents OF air and water; many other
gases and vaporS mingled with them, as
they still do to far less extent in our exist
ing atmosphere. By.and-by, as the cooling
and condensing process continued, the water
settled down from the condition OF stea m
into one Of liquid at dull red heat
As IL condensed, 1t carried down with 1t a
great many other substances, held in solu-
tion, whose component eleruent, had pre-
viously existed in the primitive gaseous at
mosphere Thus the early OCEAN which COW
evered the whole earth was in all proba-
bility not only very salt, but also quite
thick with other mineral matters close up TO
the point OF saturation. IL was full OF lime,
and raw flint, and sulphatos and many
other cellaneous bodies. Moreover 1t
was not only just as salt as Mt the present
day, Tut even great deal salter. For from
that tins to this evaporation has constantly
been going on in certain shallow isolated
areas laying down great beds Of gypsum
and then Of salt which still remain in tho
solid condition, whilo the water has, Of
course, been cOrre.pondingly puriaL
