FLOUR IN BAGS.

Our readers will remember the sugges-
tions made by Mr.. De War, of Kansas City,
at the recent Mil}ers' National Convention,
as to the superiority of bags over barrels for
packing flour. After quoting the language
of Mr.. De Wars report, the San Francisco
Grocer says: There are objections to this
suggestion, which appear to be insuperable.
Flour is peculiarly sensitive to atmospheric
influences, hence it should never be stored
in a room with sour liquids, nor where on
ions or fish are kept, nor any article that
taints the air of the room in which it is
stored. Any smell perceptible to the sense
will be absorbed by flour. Damp cellars or
lofts where a free circulation of air cannot
be obtained are injurious. A cool, dry. airy
room, not exposed to a freezing telnpera-
ture nor to intense summer, Or to artificial
heat for any length OF time above 20 to 70
deg. Fair, is best for -four. 1t should not
come in contact with grain or other sub
stances which are liable to heat. 10
pack it in bags, would expose it to tainted
aie, to damp, and to heat.

a SEA WONDER.

A monstrous submarine plant is groWfg
in the Northern Pacific ocean. 1t is one of
the Melanospherns, and known to botanists
as the Macrocistis Pyritera, and is said to
dwarf all vegetable products yet known by
its prodigious proportions. 1t grows some
times to such a size as to cover great areas
of sea-bed. one specimen having been dis
covered that occupied by measurement three
square miles, while the stem was eight feet
thick. 1t is difficult to conceive OF such a
plant, and to understand how any adequate
system of nourishment can be maintained
through so extended channels. The macro-
cistis leaves the famous big trees of Califor-
mia UNNECESSARILY behind, making them
seem, indeed, like small reeds. 1t has an in
finite variety, so specimens being so small
as to be visible only under a powerful mi
croscope. The much-talked OF wonders of
wonders OF nature are more wonderful than
has ever been conjectured, as research and
science are daily teaching us. And still it
is fair to presume that we have not yet
crossed the threshold Of the temple of dis
covery within which are hidden marvels
that the most active and exuberant imgina-
ton is unable to conceive. The realm OF
poetry is beautiful and inspiring; but the
world of fact exceeds in every way, Illus
trating constantly the old idea that truth is
stranger than fiction. Indeed, fiction seems,
even when most exaggerated, to be little
more than the pale shadow of truth.
