But after the first impulse OF delight
M almost comes TO overlook the charm
ing foreground; for beneath the water
lives a tangle and n maze of all things
lovely for shape and color and growth
and motion. Coral takes a hundred
fiowery forms, weeds branch like trees
or wave like serpents; sponges arc cups
of amethyst and ruby. When waves lie
still, one sees just as clearly into the
depths below as into the air above, and
almost as far it seems.
The vegetation is gigantic in its love-
illness. There are coral growths shaped
like an Egyptian lily and as white, but
three feet in diameter, wherein a mer-
maid might take her bath. Others
break into a thicket, each twig covered
with snowy rosettes which bear a morsel
of green velvet in their bosoms. Others
are great round hillocks diapered
with emerald, with here and there a
bunch of scarlet thorn springing from
their sides. Through and over the gar
t'en long silyery weeds tremble and
culver in a net. Small fish as quick as
humming birds, and almost as gay,
dart to and fro. Water snakes float past
in coils like Indian enamel of every
shade, in red and brownand yellow and
purple.

NORTHERN and northeastern Texas has
been having, for a week or two, such a
succession of Niagara ~downpours from the
skies, varied with occasional tornadoes,
that the inhabitants, throughout a strip of
country larger than New York. are
thoroughly alarmed. The tremendous
rains made sudden Mississippis Of what
were ordinarily small streams, and a large
loss Of life has resulted from floods and
tempests. At Waco, amidst the fearful
tempest at night, the foods swept away
houses and drowned families that did not
flee. Other families persisted in fight.
All the streams Of northern and north.
eastern Texas were flooded. The Brazos
river became a sea, submerging the finest
cotton plantations in Texas. Two thou
sand persons living along the river fled for
life, guided chiefly by the incessant flashes
Of lightning. The tornadoes have ruined
the grain and the floods the cotton.
