THE ORIGIN OF SALT

AH Our Sources of Supply Ultimately Derrred fXrm Uie Briny Oeewou From the Cornhill Magazine. This world waa onoe a haze of fluid light, as the poets and the men of science agree in informing ns. As soon as it began to cool down a little the heavier materials naturally sank toward the center, while the lighter, now represented by the ocean and the atmosphere, floated in a gaseous condition on the outside. But the great envelope of vapor thus produced did not consist merely of the constituents of the air and water; many other gases and vapors mingled with them, as they still do to a far lees extent in our present atmosphere. By and by, as the cooling and condensing process continued, the water settled down from the condition of steam into one of a liquid at a dull red heat. As it condensed it carried down with it a great many other substances, held in solution, whose component elements had previously existed in the primitive gaseous atmosphere. Thus the early ocean which covered the whole earth was in all probability not only very salt, but also very thick with other mineral matters dose up to the point of saturation. It was full of lime and raw flint, and sulphates, and many other miscellaneous bodies. Moreover, it was not only just as salt as at the present day, but even a great deal Salter. For from that time to this evaporation has been constantly going on in certain shallow, isolated areas, laying down great beds of gypsum and then of salt, which still remain in the solid condition, while the water has likewise happened, in a slightly different way, with the lime and flint which have been separated from the water chiefly by living animals and afterwards deposited on the bottom of the ocean in immense layers, as limestone, chalk, sandstone and clay. Thus it turns out that in the end all our sources of salt supply are alike ultimately derived from the briny ocean. Whether we dig it out as solid rock salt from the open quarries of the Punjab or pump it up from brine wells sunk into the tnassic rocks of Cheshire, or evaporate it direct in the salt-pans of England and the shallow salines of the Mediterranean shore, it is at bottom essentially sea salt. However distant the connection may seem our -salt is always in the last resort obtained from the material held in solution in some ancient or modern sea. Even the saline springs of Canada and the northern States of Americn, where the wa pita love to congregate, and the noble hunter lurks in the thicket to murder the unperceived, derive their ealtness, as an able Canada gentleman has shown, from the thinly scattered salts still retained among the sediments of that very archaic sea whose precipitates form the earliest known life-bearing rocks. To the Homeric Greek, as to Mr. Dick Swiveller, the ocean was always briny; to modern science, on the other hand (which neither of these worthies would probably have appreciated at its own valuation), the briny is always oceanic The fossil food which we find to-day upon all our dinner-

tatties dates back its origin primarily to ine first seas that ever covered the sur

face of our planet, and secondarily to the great rock deposits of the driedup triassic inland sea. And yet our men of science habitually describe that ancient mineral as common salt.

Indian Humor. Onoe upon a time there was a dwarf, so very small in size that when he killed a wren all by himself, too he thought he was a hero in the first degree, and strutted round in the grass as proud as if he had slain several braves of another tribe in single combat. He had onehalf of the wren a fair half; none of your irregular fractions cooked at once for a feast for the whole lodge, and told his sister to cure the skin, as he htyd a mind to make himself a feather w4i r A n j1 Vvw art si Vw lntk AA Tvnf. an.

other wren to death, and then he got his coat. But happening to go to sleep one day in the sunshine, the heat made the birds9 skins shrivel up so that they became quite uncomfor ably small, and the dwarf was furious. He vowed he would pay the sun out. So he got his sister to plait a rope out of her hair, and, having made a slip-knot in it, he pegged it down on the other side of the hill, close to the top of it, just where he had noticed the- sun was accustomed to get up. And, sure enough, when the sun rose the next morning, it ran its head right into the slip-knot and got caught The consternation in nature was prodigious, until the doxmouse, remarking what was the matter, went and nibbled the plait through and released the luminary, whereupon everything went on just as if nothing had happened. But the dwarf came home to his sister in high dudgeon. He was not going, he said, to bother himself about suns any more- It was not worth his while. He had more serious matters to attend to. And he began making preparations for going out on another wren-hunt. Such, in the bald outline, is a red Indian afairy story, which seems tome to illustrate fairly well the tone of the humor of the aboriginal American. The hro is a dwarf and this is an essential P?lt iii the folk jests of a people who consider a find physique the first qualification of manhood and in his pompous pursuit of very small birds, and subsequent inflation when he is successful in the chase, the leading characteristics of the red man are slyly burlesqued. He succeeds in an impossible exploit, and, in the true spirit of a hero, makes no fuss about it, but when the sun is let go by the dormouse, he affects to think such trifles as sun-catching beneath him, and sets himself seriously to the task of killing another wren. There is a novelty in the flavor of this fooling, and a freshness of scene and circumstance that, so it appears to me, make the absurd story very attractive. San Francisco Ingleside.

The Water Boys in Connecticut. The water boy who goes through the passenger trains in Connecticut, with his pail of water and tray of tumblers, offering free drinks to all the passengers, is a survival of the war period. During the rebellion thousands of sick and wot cded soldier passed through the State on their way home to be

nursed, and many ot them, their canteens being empty, longed in vain for a draught of cool water. The late J. F. Trumbull, of Stonington, who was in

the Legislature at the time, having rid-; den on a train in which were home-returning soldiers, and noticing their : distress on account of their inability to

get water, at once pushed a law through the Legislature providing that all railroads in the State must carry water boys on their passenger trams. The statute still remains in force. Great Salt Lake. Great Salt Lake is in fact not a branch of the sea at all. but a mere

shrunken remnant of a very large j

fresh-water lake system, like that of the still existing St. Lawrence chain. Once upon a time, American geologists say, a huge sheet of water, for which they have even invented a definite name, Lake Bonneville, occupied a far larger valley among the outliers of the Rocky Mountains, measuring 300 miles in one direction by 180 miles in the other. Beside this primitive Superior lay a great second sheet an early Huron (Lake Lahontan the geologists call it) almost as big and equally of fresh water. By and by the precise dates are necessarily indefinite some change in the rainfall, unregistered by any contemporary, made the waters of these big lakes shrink and evaporate. Lake Lahontan shrank away, like Alice in Wonderland, till there was absolutely nothing left of it; Lake Bonne ville shrank till it attained the diminished size of the existing Great Salt Lake, Terrace after terrace, running in long parallel lines on the sides of the Wahsatch Mountains around, mark the various levels at which it rested for a while on its gradual downward course. It is still falling, indeed, and the plain around is being gradually uncovered, forming the white, sait-incrusted shore with which all visitors to the Mormon city are so familiar. But why should the water have become briny? Why should the evaporation of old Superior produce at last a Great Salt Lake? Well, there is a small quantity of salt in solution even in the freshest of lakes and ponds, brought down to them by the streams or rivers, and as the water of the hypothetical Lake Bonneville slowly evaporated, the salt and other mineral constituents remained behind. Thus the solution grew constantly more and more concentrated, till at the present day it is extremely saline. Prof. Geikie (to whose works the present paper is much indebted) found that he floated on the water in spite of himself; and the under sides of the steps at the bathing-places are all incrusted with short stalactites of salt, produced from the drip of the bathers as they leave the water. The mineral constituents, however, differ considerably in their proportions from those found in true salt lakes of marine origin, and the point at which the salt is thrown down is still far from having been reached. Great Salt Lake must simmer in the sun for many centuries yet before the point arrives at which (as cocks say) it begins to settle. The Cornhill Magazine. Peter Cartwright. No member of the United States Senate in the habit of visiting Chicago has a wider circle of friends to welcome him than has Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, when he reaches the Grand Pacfic, and none enjoys stories of human oddities more than he. During the Senator's last visit here a little group gathered around him, and began telliug tales of revival times. "I remember hearing my father tell of hearing Cartwr ght once," he said. "The services were in the woods, and people came from counties around to see and hear the great exhorter. After the singing, which seemed to shako the verv oaks, was over, Cartwright began : I hear that there is a new religion started down in Boston, and its believers are called Universalists. They think that everybody, good or bad, is going straight to heaven, whatever he may have done on earth. All I'm going to say about them is to tell a story. You have all heard about good old Noah how the world became so wicked that the Lord had to drown the people. Noah was a good man, and the Lord had him build an ark All the living things of the earth were placed in. that ark, and then Noah and his family got on board as the Hoods cpnie. For forty days they floated about until the waters subsided, and then they landed on Mount Ararat Noah was a good man. He lived so many hundred ye ixs in trial and trouble. His life was full of afflictions, and when he died he went to heaven. As he stepped inside the pearly gates the fellows who had been drowned many hundred 'years before because they were so wicked gathered around to look at the old man, who had been passing his life in tribulations, while they were enjoying the bliss of heaven. Finally one who had never liked Noah on earth because he was always preaching goodness said to him : 44 Well, old man, you've got along at last, have you?" "That story was a 'clincher among the backwoodsmen, n the Senator concluded. "It was worth more among his hearers than all the arguments the revivalist could have produced." Chicn go Tribune. A Hardworking Teacher, "Oh, Miss McSwelter," said a little Lodi schoolboy to his teacher, "I heard pa taking to Mr. Jones about you." "Indeed ln replied the teacher, archly. "What did he say?" "He said you were the hardest working teacher he ever saw.M "And what did Mr. Jones say?" she asked, pleasantly. "He said you didn't know anything, and had to study hard to keep from forgetting it." Stockton Maverick. A Painless Operation Sufferer (in dentist's chair) Will it hurt to have it out, Doctor? Dentist (jocularly) It won't hurt me. Sufferer I know. But will it hurt me? My nerve is all gone. Dentist (reassuringly) Oh, no, it won't hurt you if the nerve is gone. It's the nerve, you know, that hurts. New York Times.

Nature's Agriculturists. Prof. Henry Drummond remarks that there can be no succession of crops without the most thorough agriculture, and that where man is not doing this work nature employs other agents. Darwin has shown how the soil of England is tilled by earthworms to the extent of having ten tons of dry earth per acre annually transferred from below to the surface, by passing through their bodies and being deposited as their casts. But in the hardbaked soil of tropical climates the worms are unable to operate, and other agencies are demanded, an effective one being, Prof. Drummond finds, the termite, or "white ant." This creature lives upon dead vegetable matter, and its tnnnelings, like the action of the earthworms, constantly bring fresh layers of soil to the surface. Unlike the earthworms, however, it is very destructive to man's works, and in spite of its subsoil plowing is rather a dreaded foe than a valued friend. Oriental and Occidental. A little Western prodigy at a religious turn of mind, aged three years, has given forth the following moral lecture in the shape of a story : "thk two colts. "Once there were two colts. One of them belonged to a man who had a God, and the other one belonged to a man who didn't have any God. One of them looked over the fence and didn't have anything to eat. His man didn't have any God. The other colt ate lots and lots of grass in his pasture, and he grew and grew and grew tiii he got a tail and buggy to him. His man had a God." But it is a Boston small boy who remarked the other morning, after his

mother had had a laborious siege with his buttons: "I wish God would sow some buttons on my skin, so I could button my clothes right on and not have 'em come off!" Boston Record.

Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms of a weak stato of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great center. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics, which, though they may for a time exert a soporific influence

upon the brain, soon ceaso to net, ttuu iuvunably injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity to the operations of that all important organ, and their beneficent influence is reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by its use. He Had Doubts. Several lawyers were chatting on the court house steps about a certain Judge, when a merchant joined the party. "We were just talking about Judge Blank," explained one of the legal lights. "What ia your opinion of him?w inquired the merchant. "He is the best Judge on the bench." "Really ? "Yes, and what is more, he is perfectly honest and truthful." "Why do you think so?" "Because he has the confidence of every lawyer at the bar. n The merchant gazed at him a minute, whistled a long, low whistle, and walked away without saying a word. Merchant Traveler.
