Sincerely, i . . C. M. Answer: You probably read the serttenefe *wrong. C. M. It should read. “Being 11.6 per cent salt, Rob ert Louis Stevenson called more salty than the aveiage of all oceans.” Then too, the Eagle is gUilty of the same thing of which many papers are guilty. That is, they use too much journalistic jargon. Ac tually the sentence should read, “Being 8.6 percent salt, Robert Louis Stevenson called mojre (peo ple ) salty than the aveirage oif all oceans (called people fcalty),” I imagine that you can under stand it now^ Perhaps a little of Stevenson’s life will throw more light on it -for you. The first phrase ‘‘Being 3.6 per cent salt,” might seem a little odd at first. Perhaps you don’t think Bob was so constituted. But he was, for Stevenson was raised on the toast and the sea was in his blood. Now in the locality where he liv ed, it was the custom to refer to everyone who made his living on the sea as “salty.” The habit be came so firmly embedded in him that Stevenson continued to refer to his acquaintances in later life as “salty.” bid for world' d ^pinati /or k!
