Composition of Sea Water

It may interest Us TO know of what
old ocean is composed. Sea water, In
addition to chloride of sodium, or com
mon salt, contains sulphate Of potas-
SUM, sulphate Of magnesium, traces
of bromine. iodine and various other
salts. These minerals have an appre-
cable influence on the temperature Of
sea water. which is usually higher
than that of fresh. For the heat of
