SALTY OCEAN DUE TO GAS FROM VOLCANOES Chlorine From Cones Unites With River Sodium. Says Scientist. Bv Science Service HONOLULU. AUg. 9.—The 485 known volcanoes of the world, discharging every 7 year more than t. hundred million tons of hydrochlotic acid, supply the chlorine that keeps the ocean salty. This is the opinion of Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar, director of the Hawaiian volcano observatory here. Even though the amount of hydrochloric acid gas in steam from volcanoes is almost negligible, the ceaseless emission of this steam puts the gas into the air. and thence into the rain. With the average rainfall of about forty inches a year the world over, rain and water would only need to contain about cne pert of chlorine in 5,000,fOO to supply the ocean's needs. This chlorin unites with the sodium brought into the sea by the rivers and forms sodium chloride, or common salt.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SEWER BUYING ORUER HELD UP BY CITY AGENT Inlets and Catch Basins Ordered by Works Board Held Too Costly, A city hall controversy I as arisen over the refusal of Joel A. Baker, city purchasing agent, to buy a $l,lOO order of sewer inlets and catch basins which were requisitioned by the board ofoworks. Baker told the board the materials are “too high," according to reports. A requisition in Bakers-files shows the office of Charles A. Grossart, city street commissioner. sent through a requisition for ten patented catch basins at $ 7 9 each and ten sewer inlets at $32 each. The requisition was signed by Theodore Dammeyer, John C. McCloskey and Emsley W. Johnson, works board members. “By order of the B. P. W. (board of public werks)” is on the requisition. The materials are made by the Sanitary Sew 7 er Basin Company, Chicago, ’ William Broaen, local representative, had several talks with the board members about the merits of the product and finally appealed to Mayor L. Ert Slack when the order did not come through the purchasing department. Slack told Broden the matter was being handled by the board and re-

fused to take a hand in the material fight. Baker and Grossart both refused to discuss the requisition. Broden explained his product is “patentedand the board wanted to try a few of them. M. Bonnevie, president of the company, made two visits here in connection with the deal. The catch basins are about sixtygallon capacity while those in use now are about 500-gallon capacity and made of brick by city workmen at a cost of SSO each, it is said. Sewer inlets similar, tb those ordered can be bought from two Indianapolis concerns at $12.75 each, works board attaches said. China is about six times as large as the state of Texas.
