IT has passed current that sea air
contains an appreciable quantity of
salt. To test this Mr.. Chalk made a
series of experiments. He passed about
thirty cubic feet of air through a solu-
ton of silver nitrate. In every case
there was not the least cloudiness in
the solution, which proved that the
air contained no salt. The air contains
salt only when the wind carries salt
spray. If we wish to benefit by the
salt air we must go where the sea is
sufficiently agitated by the wind to
continually hold sea water in suspen.
