Why the Sea Is Salt.

The ocean is salt because of the various saline matters, chiefly chloride, it contains. These saline elements may be derived from geological formations consistingin great part of such elements, but these formations are known to have been deposited by ancient oceans, so that the real source of the saltness is not aotually known. —[Atlanta Constitution Common carriers are not liable fa* rud» mm of M.Uw passenger*.
