Wonders of the Red Sea.

From the GenCleHldnS magdZnel
 The origin of the name "Red" Sea must perplex every new conner, who, passing from the exquisitely clear green waters of the Suez canal (the aqua-marine or shallow sea water above bed of white sand), finds himself floating on the beautiful deep blue of the gulf It was therefore with infinite pleasure that stumbled on a passage in the writings of Moquin Tandon, in which he states that the Red Sea was so called from the prevalence of minute bright red plant, so small that in one square inch twenty-five million plants find room to live. He quotes passage from Ehrenberg, who tells us how he saw from Tor, near Mount Sinai, the whole bay of which that village is the port, red as blood the open sea keeping it's ordi- nary color. The wayelets carried to the shore during the heat of the day 8 purple mucilaginous matter, and left it upon the sand so that in about half an hour the whole bay was surrounded by a red fringe, which, on examination, proved to consist of myriads of tiny bundles of flores about one-twelfth of an inch long, namely, the red trichodes- miun. The water in which they foated was quite pure.
 r Lieutenant Ogilvie Grant tells me that when of the west coast of Africa, about days steam north of the mouth of the Sierra Leone river, he passed through broad belt of deep crimson water, and though the yes sel was steaming rapidly, it took upward of an hour to pass this strange band of color. The surface water brought up in buckets was quite clear and afforded no clue to the cause of the rosy hue. MT. Gosse tells us that in the salt works at Huntington, in Hampshire, England, the reservoirs of. concentrated brine are peopled by incalculable myriads of microscopic animalcu1es of crimson hue: Also his own tanks of sea water on one occa sion became full of patches of rich crimson purple color, which spread rapidly over the surface of the water and the sides of the vessel. This proved to be microscopic sea weed, which continued to flourish for some months, till the tank was unfortunately de- stroyed. M. de Candolle mentions similar phenomenon on ths Lake of Morat, near Neufchatel when, hearing from the peasants the report that the waters had suddenly be- come the color of blood, he instituted mi mute examination of the cause. He found that in the morning hours the lake presented it's usual appearance, but later in the day long lines of reddish matter appeared upon the surface which drifted in every direction tinted the waters with all shades of yellow, brown and vivid red, and exhaled pestifer- ous odor, but entirely disappeared at night He found that in stormy weather it never ap- peared at all; but from November till the following May it came and vanished con stantly. De Candolle believes this to have been caused by a mighty army of animal cuies, but English naturalists attributed it to freak of the vegetable world.
 It seems curious that there should be room

Latest Styles in Bracelets.


 The bracelets worn to-day are in remark able contrast with the old-fashioned chain manacles and stiff broad bands of former times. The latter were valued chiefly accor- ding to size and weight, while the present styles include only such as are delicate and dainty in construction and of artistic pattern and finish. Numbered with new things at tracting deserved attention and promising to have long run are elastic reversible gold bracelets. These bracelets are composed of little be1-shaped sections strung together on gold wire spring. and so arranged that the bracelet can be slipped over the hand with perfect ease, and yet adjust itself closely to the arm when in place. By this arrange ment troublesome fastenings are entirely dis pensed with, and there is not the slightest danger of losing the bracelet from the arm. In addition to it's merits of fexibility and elasticity, is the fact that these bracelets are reversible. They are equally well finished on both sides, and show two distinct styles of finish, afording two bracelets in one. For instance, the block pattern sections on one side may present the ''cackle," or "bark, 7" finish, and on the othar plain or etched sur face; or again, gems may appear on one side for evening wear, and plain surface on the other for less ceremonisus occasions The bracelets are as readily turned as are a strand Of beads on rubber cord, with the advan- tage of a durable gold wire-coil in place of ,destruetib1e rubber.

THAT CLEAa SWEEP.

CAkAN SW &EFs
 Multitudes of good Democrats in various parts of the country have been anxiously
 waiting tor that 'clsan sweep" which they
 believe ought to follow. their great victory.
 There is no doubt that the President is strongly pressed to begin this sweep and make it thorough. He delays to do so, and the mast interesting question at present up for discussion in this country is, Will he do ita
 Nowhere is the talk about clean sweep more abundant than in Washington, where the air is full of rumors concerning it. But one of the most careful of the Washington correspondents says that he speaks from ac- eurate and thorough knowledge when he says that the President stands by his pledges and that his Cabinet officers stand with him. According to this correspondent, there will be no such sweep as the office-seeking Demo- crats want. He says: He (the Presidsnt) is more likely to go slower than to go faster hereafter in making appointments, because he has learned how easily mistakes are made, and he has learned in many ways to guard himself against deception. It is probably true that he is making closer personal ex- animation of the merits of proposed appoint ments than he did at first; and while in spite of the utmost care mistakes will continue to be made where so many hun dreds of appointments must be made merely to fill vacancies, if anything is certain at this time it is that no pressure, no importantly, no plea, no argument, no threats will induce MT. Cleveland to s1et down the bars'' to de- base the public service to partisaa uses or to tolerate in his subordinates removals with cut cause, or appointments for mere partisan ends and without ascertained fitness. That he will appoint Democrats for much the larger part to fill vacancies is true. He ought to, undoubtedly. The civil service ought 70 be fairly divided between the two parties. This is the only way to keep it out of politics-to prevent partisan use of the offices-and it is that which the :Presidsnt is determined to effect.
 It is cheering to have this assurance that the President means to keep his pledges, and it will be still more cheering to see him car " out this intention. If he does it he will make many of the boss Democrats enraged, but he will establish a principle which this country ought to have established, and will earn fame for himself.

for such discussion as to the origin of the name of the Red Sea, as the Hebrew word so translated, Suph, which occurs upward of twenty times in the Old Testament, simply means weeds-the sea of weeds. The same word occurs in the book of Jonah, where he cries that in the depth of the sea the weeds were wrapped around his head. In allusion to this Furst says: 'There is certain weed which grows in the depths of the Red Sea, and is called by the Philippians Supho It is serves for dyeing cloth, according to the tes- timony of Hieronymus on the qualities of the Red Sea-" Strabo, Diodorus and other writers are quoted as alluding to "the weed of Arabirn Gulf, sea weed resembling wool D The Arabians, too, alluded to it in their po- etic proverb to describe those who are parted forever: ssI will return to thee when the sea has ceased to wet the soof''-that is, never

Dr. Gould has formed two catalogues since 1S72-a general cats logue of stars extending to the south pole, containing 34. 900 stars, and catalogue of zone stars numbering 73,000. These two catalogues represent about 25O. 900 separate observations. It is stated in the introduc- tion to one of the volumes containing these catalogues that 'tthe chronographic register of the transits, the pointing of the telescope for decGnation, and the estimation of the magnitude have all been done by pr.

 The rum question appears to have been dealt with in Georgia more effectively than in any other State. In total of 13S coun- ties only g hold to anti-temperanee ways and prohibition is said to be absolute in about one hundred counties The Atlanta Constitution thns comments upon the situa- ton: No whisky is sold in a prohibition county of Georgia, because the uncertainty of the situation creates and maintains pub lie sentiment that renders it operative and effective. The want of public sentiment in other prohibitory States turns their statutes in most cases into dead letters Most peo- pie who have studied the subject will agree with us when we say aprohibitory liquor law needs great deal of public sentiment be- hind it. All laws need some, but prohibitory law needs very much; and it is a question whether any other plan is so well adapted to promote and maintain public sentiment on the subject as the local option plan that Georgia has freely accepted and applied. The truth is, Georgia is to-day the banner prohibition State of the Union. It does not matter whether the end is reached by high license or by positive vote, but it does make . difference whether the battle is fought in the capital of the State over general statute or q constitutional provision, or whether it is fought cut in each little county. where the people see exactly what the evil is, what they want done, and how they must proceed to gain and maintain what they desire. The local battle, with all it's local heat. and fury, is the keynote of the situation
