Professor Edward HUI read paper be-
fore the Victoria Institute last evening on
How the Waters of the Ocean Became
Salt" From an inquiry into the character
and affinitles Of the organic forms of the
past geological ages, the conclusion was JUS
tilted that the waters of the ocean must
have been salt from very early geologic al
times, but 1t 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 ocean
waters from very early periods of ge0lOgt-
cal time First, by suppOsing that the prim-
eval waters were saturated with acid gases
which were held in suspension IN the YapoT
surrounding the iucandescent globe or, sec
only. that the salinity resulted from a
process resembling that by which salt la kes
Of the present day had been formed. He
thought that they must concur with DIR.
Sterry Hunt that from some cause or other
chlorine largely abounded IN the waters of
the primeval ocean, as by far the greater
proportion Of the salts were chlorldes and
chlorine was but very slightly represented
in river waters at the present day.
From the example OF closed lakes they
could determine the process OF saliniicaton
with the utmost certainty. Throughout
greater or shorter periods these lakes have
been receiving the waters of rivers bring
ing down both mechanically suspended
sediments and chemically dissolved salts,
slicates and carbonates. The sediments
were precpitated over the bottoms of the
lakes, and the water, being carried off into
the atmosphere in the form OF yapUr as far
as it entered. left behind the dissolved in
gradients. These necessarily augmented in
quantity, and ultimately the waters of the
lakes became saturated with salts and car
Donates, which were then deposited. The
ocean was closed lake of enormous mag
nitude, and they were thus brought to the
conclusion that the salthess OF the sea
might have originated In very much
the same way as had that OF
the Dead Sea, Lake 0roominl, or the Great
Salt Lake OF Utah, aud many others which
possessed In common the characteristic of
having no outlet When the great envelope
OF yapor which surrounded the neandescent
globe began to condense upon its cooling
surface, the resulting waters, though con-
tanning, as DR.. Sterry Hunt supposed. acid
gases, were destitute Of saline ingredients.
The process of qualification began with the
first streams which entered the seas from
the bordering uplands. and this process car
RED on throughout the long ages preceding
the silurian period, brought the waters to a
condition suited to sustain the lie OF forms
of inhabitants representative of those which
Inhabited the ocean al the present day.
These long ages might be supposed to in
clude not only the archBan and azoic periods,
but that during which the first crust was in
course OF formation over the incandescent
globe.
