slightly represented in river waters at the
present day.
From the examples OF closed lakes they
could determine the process of salinifca-
ton with the utmost certainty
Throughout greater or shorter periods
these lakes had been receiving the waters
OF rivers bringing down both mechani-
cally suspended sediments and chemically
dissolved salts silicates and carbonates.
The sediments were precipitated over the
bottoms of the lakes, and the water be-
ing carried off into the atmosphere In
the form of vapor as far as II entered.
left behind the dissolved ingredients.
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 a closed lake OF enormous
magnitude, and they were 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 OrOomiah. or the Great
Salt Lake Of Utah, and many others
which possessed in common the charac-
teristics Of having no outlet.
When the great envelope Of vapor which
surrounded the incandescent globe began
TO condense upon its cooling surface. the
resulting waters. though containing, as
DR.. Sterry Hunt supposed, acid gases,
were destitute of saline ingredients. The
process of salinihcation began with the
first streams which entered the seas
from the bordering uplands. and this pro-
cess, carried on throughout the long ages
preceding the silurian period. brought the
waters to a 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 arch
aean and aZoic periods, but that during
which the first crust was in course Of
formation over the incandescent globe

How the Ocean became Salt.

Professor Edward Hill read a paper
before the Victoria Institute recently on
How the Waters OF the Ocean Bee ime
Salt" From an inquiry into the character
and aftinities OF the organic forms of past
geological ages. the conclusion was JUS
tilted that the waters Of the ocean must
have been salt from very early geological
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 pc
RODS OF geological time. First, by sup
posing that the primeval waters We're
saturated with acid gases which were held
In suspension In the vapor surrounding
the incandescent globe; or. secondly, that
the salinity resulted from process re-
sembling that by which salt lakes OF the
present day have 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

The truth about the record breaking ex-

On December 10Th, less than one month

was "A conspiracy TO falslfy the record in

he could not have done so. as the track
was very heavy
Grant Campbell has made affidavit that
he was present and kept the time cor
rectly, and that 1t was 2l6 and frac-
ton.
James Thompson. one OF the Associa-
tons timers, hearing that an affidavit
was made. and that 1t was to be sent to
the National Association 20 prevent the
registration Of the 201 II record, did
everything he could to keep it from being
sent. Kearney says Thompson offered
him $40 to smother 1t. and tried to hire
him to go 10 work for Coney, another
timer. Thompson told Kearney II would
ruin him IL his timing was thrown out.
A man named AlcHu2h says that while
he was with Kearney. Thompson offered
him $50 to hold out the affidavit OF
Campbell. and tried to get him (McHugh)
TO go to Stockton. so that he could treat
with him in regard TO II.
The general opinion OF California turf
men is that the State has suffered much
harm from the scheme Of these Stockton
