SIGNiFIcANT.-The Paris papers speak of new
industry that has arisen in France from the ext
gencies of the times, and one which is destined to
supply one of the necessities of that rage for de-
structon which is becoming so apparent. Govern
ment has ordained the systematic gathering Of the
sea-weed which is washed the rocks of the coasts
of Normandy and Brittany to serve as wadding
for artillery-it being found to answer the purpose
misunderstanding the iron COOL and not liable to
ignition, like the cotton wad hitherto in use. The
material has already been distributed to the Ord
nance Department at Yincennes. That is, even in
itself, significant.
