There are many interesting facts
connected with salt which it is we'll
sometimes TO remember. To begin
with the namc itself, a curious fact is
to be noted Salt was formerly re-
gardcd as compound resulting from
the union Of hydro-chloric Tor. as it
used 10 DO called muriatic) acid and
soda, and hence the generic term OF
self was applied 20 all substances pro-

union Of the oxygen of the alkali and

Of the former combines with the chic
rine of the latter to form chloride Of
sodium, and this term is the scientific
designation OF salt. which. paradoxical
as il may seem, is not q salt. At one
time nearly the whole OF the salt used
as food anl for industrial purposes
was obtained from the sea. and in
many countries where the climate is
dry aud warm, and which have n con
vcnient seaboard, q great quantity Of
salt is still obtained In Portugal
moro than 2jO.OOO tons are annually
produced, and the same quantity APP
proximately is obtained on the Atlantic

Spain has salt works in the Balearic
Islands, the Bay Of Caliz and else

Relative strength or Man and Woman

Relative strength or Man and Woman.
According to the last report OF tho
doinSs of the authropernetric labora.
tory, London, the following interest
ing data were established concerning
the relative strength and length Of
limbs in man and woman, viz: In
man, In 500 cases out of 100. the
right arm was stronger than the left;
in l6.4 cases the arms were each OF
equal strength; finally, in 32.7 cases
out Of 100. the left arm WAS the
stronger Thus it seems, contrary
to the general understanding of this
subject, that out of every ten men
there are more than three whose right
arm is not so S 'ong as the left. The
data show, however, that the proper
ton is better distributed in women
that is, out of 100 ON 4G.J possessed
more strength in the right arm. and
24.5, or nearly one fourth, have more
strength in the left. Dynamometrin
experiments have likewise proved
that in women the upper limbs pos
