 Professor Edward Hill read paper be- fore the Victoria institute recently on "How the waters of the ocean became salt" From an inquiry iuto the character and afinities of the organic forms of past geological ages, the conclusion was justi- fled that the waters of the ocean must have been salt from very early geological times, but it by no means followed that they were as fully saline as those of the present day. There were two ways by which they might account for the salinity of the ocsan waters from very carly peri ods of geological time. First, by sup posing that the primeval waters were sat urated with acid gases which were held in tncandeecent globe; or, secondly, that the salinity resulted from g process resembling that by which salt lakes of the present day had bsen formed. He thought that they must concur with Dr. Sterry Hunt. that from some cause or other chlorine largely abounded in the waters of the pri- meval ocean, as by far the greater propor- tion of the salts were cblorides, and chIo rins was but very slightly represented in river waters of the present day.
 From the examples of closed lakes they could determine the process of sallnifies- tion with the utmost certainty. Thrsugh- out greater or shorter periods these lakes had been receiving the waters of rivers, bringing down both mechanically suspsnd- ed sediments and chemically dissolved salts, silicatss and esrbenates. Tho fsdi- ments were precipitated over the bottoms of the lakes, and the water being carried off into the atmosphere in the form of ya- DOT ss far as 1t entered, left bshind the dissolved ingredients. These necessarily in quantity, and ultimately the waters of the lakes became saturated with salts and carbonates, which were then de posted. The ocean was Q closed lake of enormous magnitude, and they were thus brought to the conclusion that the saltness of the sea might have originsted in very much the same way e had that of the

 Yesterday.
 NEW MILFORD, May 14.-George Bourne, young Englishman, nineteen years of age, was drowned, shortly before o'clock this afterhoon while rowing with John Kelly on the Housatonic river. The current in the river Is very strong and before the young men were aware of their danger they approached too near the dam at the electric works. The boat became unman- ageable and both were carried over the falls. The rapids below are very rocky and the boat was overturned, throwing both of the men into the water. Kelly succeeded in getting hold of the boat and seized his companion by the hair, but Bourne slipped away from him and was drowned. Kelly was carried down the river some distance and caught tree. He held on and reached shore, the boa. con tinuing down the river. Bourne's body has not yet been recovered He had been in this country but . short time and came to New Milford from Trenton, N. J. All of tis relatives are in the old country.
