GARRETT P. SERVISS ON WHAT
MAKES THE OCEAN SALT
Theory That Mineral Was Washed I
Land Now Disputed

; with this, was that the fixed tenn
perature of the blood OF all
warm FLOODED animals might also
be reminisence Of the original
ocean life, at a time when the
average temperature OF the sea
was much higher than it is now.
But there has arisen tendency
to reject the assumption that the
pecan was once fresh, together
with the theory that its chief
source of salt has been the border
ing lands. Instead, it is claimed
that the composition of sea salt
indicates an oceanic origin. 1t Is
pointed out that there Is great
similarity between the gaseous
products Of volcanic eruptions,
which are very rich in chlorides
and sulphates, and the salts found
in sea water, which are Of sim
liar nature.
So the sea may always have
been salt, the first waters de-
posted being derived from an
atmosphere in which watery vapor
was mingled with vast quantities
of metallic gases.
Varieties of Salts.
This view is supported by the
fact that the waters of rivers
flowing into the sea differ great
ly from sea water in their min
eral contents, about 80 per cent
of such contents being carbonates
in river water, but chlorides in
ocean water. Moreover, there are
marked differences between the
salts Of inland seas, and salt lakes,
and the characteristic sea salts.
Probably both theories are par
TALLY correct; a certain quantity
Of salt coming down from the land
every year, and tending to in
crease slightly the saline content
of the oceans, while the greater
quantity of the ocean salt owes
its origin to conditions prevailing
when the seas were formed.
The distribution of salt through
the oceans varies with the lati-
tude. In the polar seas the per-
centage of salt is reckoned at
little under 3 per cent. while in
the equatorial waters it Is some
thing over 3h per cent.

listing in it, or because OF the
salts carried down by rivers from
the lands through which they
how?--M. F."
AYOT many years ago your
IN question would have seemed
- y easier to answer than it
does now. Then it was generally
admitted that the salt found in
the waters Of the ocean was
mainly derived by washings from
continents. It was assumed that,
in the beginning, the ocean was
fresh and gradually became salter,
owing to the continual supply
from the lands.
A very interesting and some
what mysterious index OF the
former connections Of all animal
life with the ocean was supposed
by some to have been found in
the singular fact that the bodily
fluids of men and all the higher
animal species contain certain
proportion-about one-fifth-of the
percentage of salt which is now
characteristic Of sea water.
Assuming that life originated
in the sea. but, in many Of its
forms, crept out upon the land
after the continents had been up
lifted, long ages ago, it was ar
gued that the unVarying percent
age of salt in the bodily fluids
of lani animals must be a con-
tinuing condition that originated
when the ancestral forms were de-
veIoped in their primal habitat
the ocean waters.
Theory Challenged.
That being granted, the fact
that at the present time the sea
has become five times more salt
than the bodily fluids was ap-
pealed 10 as evidence that sea
water may at first have been
fresh, the ancestors OF land life
leaving it at a time when its &C.
emulation Of salt had attained
only 20 per cent Of the existing
amount.

Mitsareff has made several improve
ments upon his device, in fact, there
have been eight different models
made and used. The last device,
known as model No. 12O-A, is past
the experimental stage. This device
is used extensively by men working
upon MANY other roads.
