Salt of the Ocean Tells
Ace of Seas, Saws Clarke

How old is the ocean? Standing
on the shore and looking out over
the eXpanse of water, the ocean
seems an eternal fact, but the seas
had a beginning and will have an
time comes the last drop of water
will have been absorbed into the
earth's crust, it's surface will be u

The age of the oceans has been es-

90,000,0C0 years. This. of course,
is only an approximation but is
based on carefully studied scientific
data.
in the vapor that surrounded the
glowing, slowly cooling mass which
is no wthe earth. After the bases
combined to form water the process
of making the ocean salt began.
This was the work of the rivers.
Mineral salts were extracted from
the rocks over which they flow and
deposited in the sea.
Each year the action Of the
streams is said to make the ocean
slightly more salty and this is the
basis on which it's age is calculated.
The amount of salt carried by the
rivers of the world is computed by
the scientists and compared with the
total quantity in the ocean. After
evaporation and the velocity of cur
rents have been considered, it is pos
sible to calculate how. long it has
taken tc make the sea water as salty
as it is today.
About three and a half per cent
of mineral salts and ninety-six and
half per cent fresh water make up
the oceans. Three-fourth of the solid
matter is common salt, other ingre-
dents being chloride, sulphate and
