HOW THE OCEAN BECAME SALT
An English Professor Discusses Two
Theories of the Salin fication

An English Professor Discusses Two
Theories of the salin fication
Professor Edward Hill read a paper
before the Victoria institute in Lon
don recently on "How the Waters OF
the Ocean Became Salt" says tho
Standard. From an inquiry into the
character and aliinities Of the organic
forms of past geological ages, tho
conclusion was justified 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
ocean waters from very early periods
of geological time. First, by sup
posing that the primeval waters were
saturated with acid gases which were
held in suspension in the vapor sur
rounding the incandescent globe; or,
second, that the salinity resulted
from a process resembling that by
which salt lakes 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 tho
salts were chlorides, and chlorine
was but very slightly represented in
river waters at the present day.
From the examples of closed lakes
they could determine the process OF
salinifcation with the utmost GER
tainty. Throughout greater or
shorter periods these lakes had been
receiving the waters of rivers bring
ing down both mechanically sus-
pended sediments and chemically dis
solved salts, silicates and carbonates.
The sediments were preciWtated over
/ the bottom of the lakes, and the
water being carried off into the at
mosphere in the form of vapor, as far
as it entered, left behind the dis
/ solved ingredients. These necessarily
augmented in quantity, and ultim-
ately the waters of the lakes became
saturated with salts and carbonates,
which were then deposited. The
{ ocean was a closed lake of enormous
magnitude, and they were thus
/ brought TO the conclusion that the
sadness of the sea might have orig
mated in very much tho
same way as had that of
the Dead sea, Lake Oroomiah, or the
great salt Lake of Utah, and many
/ others which possessed in common
the characteristic OF having no out
let. When the great envelope of
vapor which surrounded the mean
descent globe began to condense up
on its cooling surface, the resulting
waters, though containing, as DIR.
Sterry supposed. acid gases, were
destitute OF saline ingredients. Tho
process Of salinifcation began With
the first streams which entered the
seas from the bordering uplands, and
this process carried on through the
long ages preceding the silurian
period brought the waters to q con-
dition suited to sustain the life OF
! forms of inhabitants representative
of those which inhabited the ocean at
the present day. These long ages
might be supposed to include not
only the arch8an and azoic periods,
but that during which the first crust
was in course of formation over the
/ incandescent globe.

A RECONCILIATION.

do not know
II we're wrong or you;
1t grieves me so
To think l gave you paia
That my gift must rue,
And take 1t back again
do not know
IL you or were right;
Your tears have caused me woe,
And III you weep again
shall row more contrito,
And covet all your pain
do not know
Nor care which one wns right;
For when your dear eyes dow
cannot sponk for pain,
And te n mlsts blind my sight
Until you smile again
So let IL GO
We may have both been wrong,
Or partly So
But sin is pur ;ed by pain,
And roy u sou are strols
TO wound and heal atatn.
