The Myths as to the Sea.

There are hundreds Of queer myths and
traditions given to account for the fact that
the sea is salt. The Arabs say that when
the first pair sinned they were living in a
beautiful garden on a tract of land Joined
to to mainland by narrow neck or 18TH
mus When 1t became known to the Holy
One that his people had sinned he went te
tho garden for the purpose of driving them
out and across the narrow neck Of land into
the patch of thorus and brambles on the
other side. Anticipating what would be
the consequence Of their heinous crime,
they had prepared to leave thelr
beautiful garden, and had actually
gone so far as to send the
children and the goats across into the
thicket. When the Holy One appeared on
the scene the first pair to started to run but
the woman looked back For this the man
cursed her, and for such crime was almost
Immediately turned into a huge block OF
salt. compare with Genesis, xix, 26.j
The woman, more forgiving than her hus'
band, stopped to pick up the shapeless mass
of salt, when immediately the narrow neck
OF land began to crack and
break. As she touched what had
once been her companion she. too, was
turned to salt just as the neck OF land sank
aud the waters rushed through. From thai
day to this, the Arabs say, all the waters
of the ocean have rushed through that mar
row channel at least once year, constantly
wearing away the salt of what was once our
first parents, yet the bulk of the two salty
objects is not diminished in the least.
The Pythagoreans believed that the sea
was made salty by the tears of Krono,
father of Zeus. The Hebrew explanation
is somewhat similar. though more poetic.
They believe that the saltiRess was caused
by the tears Of fallen angels.
