this should give us the bulk of the salt
contained in the great waters of the globe
Rounding the figures, we get something
like 100000 cubic miles of salt. II 1t We're
all taken out and spread over the surface or
the six continents they would be covered

the height of st. PauPs. To put it another
way, If all the earth were salt water, there
would be enough of the flavoring principle
in it to make two moons of solid salt but
very little smaller than our present satel-
lite.
But these comparisons are almost too
huge for handling; let us take something
smaller. The rolling waters of the English
channel are familiar to all Londoners. How
much salt is there in them? Close upon
hundred cubic miles. Made into a conven-
lent block and swung over the metropolis

miles of it get into the five oceans? 1t
is a big question. and it has wonderful

beginning of things. When the earth was
half-cooled body all the water now upon

mighty clouds of steam. AS the earth went
on cooling its chemical processes set free
vast masses of what the chemist knows
chloride of sodium, what we call common
salt This lay on the ground in kind of
frosty deposit. When the earth got cool
enough the floating clouds came down in a
deluge that may have lasted for ages, and,
melting the salt deposits they rolled over
the ground in countless rivulets, swept with
1t into the deepest holows of the earth's
surface and formed the salt seas. So the
sea has always been salt.
But the salt in the sea is not all the salt
there Is In the world. There is large
quantity in the rocks and the SOIL frac-
ton of which is carried year by year into
the oceans by the rivers. Yet the ocean is
not getting saltier. This is because the sea
creatures take up salt into the structure of
their bones and shells, and when they die
and leave these to lie upon the ocean bed
the salt remains locked up, as it were Ma
