A Few Facts About Salt.
From the London Standard.

There are many interesting facts con-
nected with salt which it is we'll some
times to remember. To begin with the
name itself, a curious fact, is to be
noted. Salt was formerly regarded as a
compound resulting from the union of
hydrochloric Tor, as it used to be called,
muriatic) acid and soda, and hence the
generic term Of salt was applied to all
substances produced by the combina-
ton OF a base with an acid. Sir Hum
phrey Davv, however, showed that DUR
ing their action on each other both the
acid and the alkali underwent decompo-
sition. and that while water is formed by
the union of the oxygen of the alkali
and the hydrogen of the acid, the
sodium of the former combines with
the chlorine of the latter to form a chic
ride Of sodium, and this term is the
scientific designation OF salt, which,
paradoxical as it may seem, is not a salt.
Chloride OF sodium must be considered
economically under two heads. relating
respectively to sea or bay salt, and to
rOck and mineral salt.
The one is probably derived from the
other, most rock salt deposits bearing
evidence of having been formed at re-
mote geological periods by evaporation
from the sea. AT one time nearly the
whole of the salt used as food and Tor in
dustrial purposes was obtained from the
sea, and In many countries where the
climate is dry and warm, and which
have a convenient seaboard. a great
quantity of salt is still SO obtained. In
Portugal more than 250, 900 tons are an
nually produced, and the same quantity
Approximately obtained on the Atlantic
and Mediterranean coasts of France.
Spain has salt works in the Balearic
Islands, the Bay of Cadiz and else
where. which turn out annually 300, 900
tons, and ever the small seaboard of
Austria produces every year from 10000
to loo, 600 tons.
