The Atlantic Ocean includes an
area Of 80, 600, 600 square miles Sup
pose an inch of rain fall upon only
one-hfth Of this vast expanse. it
would weigh 800, 900, 600 tons, and
the salt which, as water, is held in
solution in the sea, and which, when
the water was taken up as a vapor,
was left behind.to disturb the equilib-
rum, weighed rs, 600, 600 more tons.
or nearly twice as much as all the
ships in the world could carry at a
cargo each. 1t might fall in day;
but occupy what time II might in
falling, this rain IS calculated TO exert
so much force (which is inconceiva-
bly, great--in disturbing the equilib-
rum Of the ocean. If all the water
discharged by the Mississippi River
during the year were taken up in
mighty measure, and cast INTO the
ocean at an effort, it would not make
a greater disturbance in the equilib-
rum OF the sea than the fall of rain
supposed. And yet SO gentle are the
operations Of nature that movements
SO vast are unperceived.
