HOW THE OCEAN BECAME SALT.

Scientific Theory a. to the qualification Of
the Mighty Sea-.
London Standard.
Prof. Edward Hill read q paper before
the Victoria Institute recently on "HOw
the Waters of the Ocean Became Salt"
From an inquiry into the character and
atfi aitiss OF the organic forms of past
geological ages the conclusion wss
justified that the waters of the ocean
must have been salt from very early
geological times. but it by NJ means

two ways by which they might account
for the salinlty of the ocean waters from
very early periods of geological time.
First. By supposing that the prlmeval
waters were saturated with acid gases
which were held in suspension in

salinity resulted from q process Fesem bling
that by which salt lakes of the presentday
had beer formed. He thought that they
from some cause or other chlorine largely
abounded In the waters of the primeval
ocean. as by far the greater proportion OF the
saits were chlorides. and chlorine was but
very slightly represented in river waters Of
the present day.

thus brought to the conclusion that

USE FOR COAL ASHES.

An inquirer asks what he shall do with his coal ashes which have accumulated during winter from the consumption of his kitchen and furnace fires, and of which he has considerable quantity. In answer one of the best modes is to use it for walks and drives when the more fin- ished and expensive gravel walks can not be procured. Let the ashes be sifted to take out all clinkers and fragments of coal and use it for walks. from the house to the barn or out-buildings, spreading it five or six inches deep and making it smooth and even on top and finished and regular at the edges. It will become smooth and compact by use, and will last many years. The ground on which it is laid must of course have fair drainage. For carriage drives and farm roads it should be spread somewhat thicker, or at least six inches, and if heavy wagons pass frequently over it, a still greater thickness may be requisite. Much will depend on good drainage of the soil below. Common carriage roads made of anthracite coal ashes, and hav- ing moderate travel, have remained good and smooth eight or 10 years, after which, owing to the intermixture of the soil below, they become partly cut up by wheels. The thicker the bed of ashes the longer the road will last. The only objection which we have heard to the use of coal ashes for walks is that they adhere to the shoes of those who walk over them and track into the house at first, or while fresh, which difficulty however disappears by use.-[ Country Gentleman.

FOR A POTATO DISEASE

Prof Bolley in his published statement speaks of corrosive sublimate as an efficient remedy for the scab of the potato. Two ounces of corrosive subli- mate are dissolved in 15 gallons of water, and the seed potatoes are then soaked in this solution an hour and a half and then cut and planted. This is the whole of the treatment. If the ground occupied has not been planted with potatoes before, nor the infection thus conveyed to the soil, the crop will be entirely free from the disease, but for land which has already borne seabby tuhers there appears to be no reliable remedy. It should be borne in mind that corrosive sublimate is about as dead ly a poison as Paris green, with the dis advantage of not showing it's presence so distinctly as the green color of Paris green.-[Froy Times.
