I remember another Scientific American reprint, "Why The Ocean Is Salt." I could never figure out why it wasn't "Salty." The word. But them guys at SA are editing sticklers, so I assume some rokit scitist here knows why, under the rules of chemistry.

CB, Re. >>>I was reading about are preserved in salt flats in Urumchi, a valley in the Himalayas, north of India, east of Pakistan, west of China, near the Russian border<<< Just for the record: 1) Urumchi is the capital of Xinchiang province; it is WAY north of the Himalayas (not even close); 2) It is part of China - as has been for centuries - and not "west of China" despite its exotic name; 3) U is part of the ancient SILK ROAD, still a good distance from the Russian border. Regards, P. (who recently returned from the Himalayas)
