ss of drying? If it did so then, it ought to do so now. But it does not: on the contrary,Dame Moncler Tinuviel Norge Salg, when it is dry it graws moist,Chaussures Nike Lunar Femme, but when it is moist it does not secrete anything at all. How then was it possible for the earth at the beginning when it was moist to sweat as it grew dry? Indeed, the theory that maintains that most of the moisture departed and was drawn up by the sun and that what was left over is the sea is more reasonable; but for the earth to sweat when it is moist is impossible.
Since all the attempts to account for the saltness of the sea seem unsuccessful let us explain it by the help of the principle we have used already.
Since we recognize two kinds of evaporation, one moist, the other dry, it is clear that the latter must be recognized as the source of phenomena like those we are concerned with.
But there is a question which we must discuss first. Does the sea always remain numerically one and consisting of the same parts, or is it, too,Maillot Toure Yaya Pas Cher, one in form and volume while its parts are in continual change, like air and sweet water and fire? All of these are in a constant state of change, but the form and the quantity of each of them are fixed,Dame Moncler Adour Norge Salg, just as they are in the case of a flowing river or a burning flame. The answer is clear,CG Menn Expedition Parka Norge Salg, and there is no doubt that the same account holds good of all these things alike. They differ in that some of them change more rapidly or more slowly than others; and they all are involved in a process of perishing and becoming which yet affects them all in a regular course.
This being so we must go on to try to explain why the sea is salt. There are many facts which make it clear that this taste is due to the admixture of something. First, in animal bodies what is least digested,Maillot Pjanic Pas Cher, the residue of liquid food, is salt and bitter, as we said before. All animal excreta are undigested,Ralph Lauren Hoodies, but especially that which gathers in the bladder (its extreme lightness proves this; for everything that is digested is condensed),PJS Herreklær Maine Parkas, and also sweat; in these then is excreted (along with other matter) an identical substance to which this flavour is due. The case of things burnt is analogous. What heat fails to assimilate becomes the excrementary residue in animal bodies, and,Dame Moncler Gresselle, in things burnt,Maillot Busquets Pas Cher, ashes. That is why some people say that it was burnt earth that made the sea salt. To say that it was burnt earth is absurd; but to say that it was something like burnt earth is true. We must suppose that just as in the cases we have described, so in the world as a whole, everything that grows and is naturally generated always leaves an undigested residue,Chaussures Originals NMD Femme, like that of things burnt, consisting of this sort of earth. All the earthy stuff in the dry exhalation is of this nature,Ralph Lauren Polo Stad, and it is the dry exhalation which accounts for its great quantity. Now since, as we have said, the moist and the dry evaporations are mixed, some quantity of this stuff must always be included in the clouds and the water that are formed by condensation, and must redescend to the earth in rain. This process must always go on with such regular
