The Air Of The Sea Shore

In order to aseertain whether air of the seashore contains salt in any appreciable quantity, a French scientist has made a series of experimenta. By means of these he proved that in a dead calm seashore air has no salt. It is only when there are high winds from the sea that there is salt in the atmosphere. In high winds sea spray Í3 carried into the atmoephere, where it is diffused into fine partióles, and holds the salt for a time in the damp air; but as soon as the wind subsides, the salt, being heavier than the atmosphere, settles. To receive, therefore, the benefit from salt air, it is, ncessary to go where winds are continually blowing. It has been demonstrated that windy localities by the sea are very mueh more invigorating than those where there are continuous cálms, but heretofore the reason of this has not been made clear.
