Why THE OCEAN is SALT.

Theory Advanced That 8aiinity 10 Due
70 Volcanic Ejsetmsnts.
Sea water contains about 3k per
cent Of sodium chloride and other salts.
The evaporation of all the oceans
would leave a mass OF salt sufficient
to cover the entire globe to the depth
Of 200 feet and equal to the bulk, above
sea level, of North and South Amer
ica, or one-fourth that of the whole
earth.
The theory that this enormous guam
tity of salt has been dissolved from
continental rocks and carried down to
the sea by streams IL not tenable, be-
cause the salts found in solution in
river water contain so per cent Of car
Donate Of lime and only per cent Of
chlorides, while common salt, or so
dium chloride, constitutes 80 per cent
of the salts Of sea water. Moreover,
the evaporation of inland seas which
has taken place In central Asia has
left saline deposits very different in
composition from the salts of the
ocean.
It appears, therefore, that salinity
must be regarded as an original prop
crty Of the ocean. Suess has advanced
the theory that the salts now found in
the sea have been elected by volcanoes
In early stages Of the earth's forma-
ton. Even now every eruption in
creases the quantity Of water vapor,
carbonic acid and compounds Of chic
rine and sulphur in the atmosphere,
and these substances ultimately find
their way to the ocean. After every
eruption of vesuvius the crater is
covered with a cleaning white layer
Of common salt, and the volcanoes of
South America eject enormous quaint
ties of hydrochlorie acid, estimated at
thirty tons daily for the volcano Of
Purace, in Colombia.
This volcanic activity, now restricted
to few points Of the earth's surface.
must have been general in remote ages,
before life appeared on the globe. The
gases confined within the thin solid
crust burst their bounds and found
their way to the surface, bringing with
them the millions Of tons Of chlorides
which we find today In the oceans.
Yet the transfer Of these millions Of
tons IL relatively Insignificant change,

After exhaustive experiments In po-

spaFtment of agriculture has to say
that In season one time IL as good as
another to put potatoes in the ground.
Almost every one, even IL he we're
not reared in the country, has heard
Of the idea about planting potatoes In
the dark Of the moon, says Scientific
American. The field workers Of the
department OF agriculture have been
investigating the matter and have
found that 70 per cent Of the farmers
Of this alleged enlightened country put
in their crops and do a good many
other things about the farm governed
solely by the moons phases. Many
farmers win tell You that II you plant
potatoes In the dark Of the moon they
viii run to tubers and II in the light
Of the moon they will run to tops. and
crops are planted accordingly.
There Is usually a basis in fact for
any superstition. and the moon super
stition is 80 deeply rooted that a
number Of experts from the depart.
ment Of agriculture. while going up
and down and across the land. have
made It their business to study the
question and see whether there might
not DO a germ Of truth or Mt least some
reason for the general belief that the
moons phases have an effect on AMI
NAL and vegetable life. They have
concluded after patient investigation
that the moon myth Is one Of the COM
paratively few myths that date back
70 pure savagery and has absolutely
not an atom Of scientific foundation
on which to stand. The agricultural
experiment stations all over the coun.
