than to suppose a change in the whole world in order to explain these facts. But we have dwelt longer on this point than it deserves.
To return to the saltness of the sea: those who create the sea once for all, or indeed generate it Gina Lewandowski Drakter at all, cannot account for its saltness. It makes no difference whether the sea is the residue of all the moisture that is about the earth and has been drawn up by the sun, or whether all the flavour existing in the whole mass of sweet water is due to the admixture of a certain kind of earth. Since the total volume of the sea is the same once the water that evaporated has returned, it follows that it must either have been salt at first too, or, if not at first, then not now either. If it was salt from the very beginning, then we want to know why that was so; and why, if salt water was drawn up then, that is not the case now.
Again, if it is maintained that an admixture of earth makes the sea salt (for they say that earth has many flavours and is washed down by NEO Daily Bind Vulc the rivers and so makes the sea salt by its admixture), it is strange that rivers should not be salt too. How can the admixture Nike Roshe One DMB of this Boca Juniors earth have such a striking effect in a great quantity of water and not in each river singly? For the sea, differing in nothing from rivers but in Ashley Cole Drakter being salt, is evidently simply the totality of river water, and the rivers are the vehicle in which that earth is carried to their common destination.
It is equally absurd to suppose that anything has been explained by calling the sea ‘the sweat of the earth’, like Empedicles. Metaphors are poetical Nicolas Castillo Drakter and so that expression of his may satisfy the requirements of a poem, but as a scientific theory it is unsatisfactory. Even in the case of the body it is a question how the sweet liquid drunk becomes salt sweat whether it is merely by the departure of some element in it which is sweetest, or by the AS Monaco admixture of something, as Jurgen Damm Drakter when water is strained through ashes. Actually the saltness seems to be due to the same cause as in the case of the residual liquid that gathers in the bladder. That, too, becomes bitter and salt though the liquid we drink and that contained in our food is sweet. If then the bitterness is due in these cases (as with the water strained through lye) to the presence of a certain sort of stuff that is carried along by the urine (as indeed we actually find a salt deposit settling in chamber-pots) and is secreted from the flesh in sweat (as if the Supreme Sneakers departing moisture were washing the stuff out of the body), then no doubt the admixture of something earthy with the water is what Ragnar Klavan Drakter makes the sea Johan Djourou Drakter salt.
Now in the body stuff of this kind, viz. the sediment of food, is due to failure to digest: but how there came to be any such thing in the earth requires explanation. Besides, how can the drying and warming of the earth cause the secretion such a great quantity of water; especially as that must be a mere fragment of DaMarcus Beasley Drakter what is left in the earth? Again, waiving the question of quantity, why does not the earth sweat now when it happens to be in procelinks:
