The Dock Department of New York
has for some months been hard at
work preparing a suitable Berth for
ships of the new American steamship
line, and in the course OF the next few
months will have completed the most
commodious pier accommodations on the
North river. This pier, known hither-
TO as Pier New No. IA, and recently
christened Washington pier by the
dock commissioners, is between Vesey
and Fulton streets. When complete 1t
will be 72O feet in length from the
bulkhead, and 125 feet in width. The
pier shed will be of iron, two stories
In height, the first devoted entirely to
trucks and baggage, and the second to
the use of passengers, who will reach
It by of a bridge over West
street, and from which they may step
directly upon the decks Of the big lin
ers. The shed will be 600 feet long.
The designs are most elaborate, n 1t
promises to be a most ornate as well
as convenient structure. This is to be
ERECTED by the steamship company,
which leases the pier from the city.

Moosky was the chief European street. It is
still the chief business thoroushfare and pre-

wide enough TO allow two carriages to pass,
while the sidewalks are about three feet broad.

you find nj the same time the real Cairo and

Prof. Edward Hill read q paper before the
Victoria Institute last evening on How the
Waters of the Ocean Became Salt" From an
inquiry into the character and afinities of the
organic forms of past geological! ages, the con-
clusion 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 earl v periods of geo.
logical time. First, by supposing that the
primeval waters were saturated with acid
gases which were held in suspension in the
vapor surrounding the incandescent globe; or
secondly, that ths salini:y resulted from a pro-
cess resembling that by which salt lakes Of the
present day had been 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 primeval ocean
as by far the greater proportion of the 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 salinificstion with the
utmost certainty. Throughout greater or
shorter periods these lakes had been receiving
the waters of rivers bringing down both me-
chemically suspended sediments and chemi-
cally dissolved salts, siicates and carbonates
The sediments were precipitated over the bot
toms Of the lakes, and the water being carried
off into the atmosphere in the form OF vapor as
far as it entered. left behind the dissolved in
gredisnts. These necessarily augmented in
quantity, and ultimately the waters Of the
lakes became saturated with salts and carbo-
mates, which were then deposited. The ocean
was n closed lake Of enormous magnitude, aud
they we're thus brought to the conclusion that
the sadness OF the sea might have originated
in very much the same way As had that Of
the Dead sea. Lake Oroonliah or the Great
Salt Lake OF Utah and many others
which possessed in common the character
istic of having no outlet. When the great en-
yelope of vapor which surrounded the mean
descent globe began to condense upon its cool
ing surface the resulting waters, though con-
tanning, as DR.. Sterry Hunt supposed. acid
gases, were destitute OF saline Ingredients.
The process of saiinifcation began with the
first streams which entered the seas from the
bordering uplands, and this process carried on
throughout the long ages preceding the silu-
rian period brought the waters to q condition
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
archaan and azoic periods. but that during
which the first crust was in course Of forma-
ton over the incandescent globe.
