The Sargossa Sea.

The Sargossa sea is a region in the At
lantic, about midway between southern
Europe and America, extending from 81
to 90 degs. north latitude and between
30 and As degs. west longitude. 1t de-
rived its name from a Portuguese word
signifying a grape, and was so called be-
cause the seaweeds characteristic of the
region bear on their branches small air
cells, which in shape are not unlike the
grape clusters. The weeds themselves
are among the most peculiar of vegetable
productions, since they have no roots,
nor any signs of fructiication, and are
propagated by division. They float in
the water, sometimes in dense masses ex-
tending for miles.
This portion of the Atlantic is great
eddy, little affected by the currents
which surround it on every side, and the
stiffness of the water, it is supposed, has
contributed to the development of the
weeds in the vast quantities in which
they are found. The floating masses
were noticed by Columbus and his men,
to whom they were source of uneasi-
ness, as the sailors supposed they indi-
Gated shallow water. Detached masses
of the weed are often seen in the Gulf
stream, and the long, yellow lines of
floating weed are sure indication of its
close proximity Louis Globe Demo

A Dust Destructor.

A correspondent asks, What is the
"dust destructor? The dust destructor
is a group of furnaces set in an inclosed
space containing the requisite yards and
buildings used for consuming the rub
bish which is swept off the London
streets, which amounts to many thou
sands of tons IN year The furnace
house is approached by an incline drive
way leading to a covered place above
the furnaces. In this place the scaven-
gers carts shoot their rubbish, which by
simple apparatus is dropped into the
furnaces, where it is speedily converted
into "clinker.' This clinker is then re-
moved and broken up. Some of it is
ground, some reground, and some ground
a third time.
In the ward are seen piles of broken
and ground clinker, some of course
Jumps, some resembling gravel, some
looking like the finest sand. For all
this material there is q use. Some of it
goes to form the foundation of roads,.
some, mixed with tar, is made into a
durable pavement; some makes admira-
BILE sand for mortar and cement, and
some is made into imitation stone for
sidewalks. In the Battersea district
of London the parish wagon houses,
stables, blacksmith shops, etc., have
been constructed entirely of this imita-
ton stone made from the refuse of do
nestle dust bins and the streets.
If any of the residents of the parish
want any of the broken or ground
clinlzer for any purpose they are per-
mitted to take as much of it as they can
carry away in barrows or carts. Moth
ing goes to waste. The process of Gre
nation is cheap, and this method of dis
posing of the refuse of crowded dis
trict has had q wholesome effect from a
sanitary point of view. In Battersea
the death rate has gone down from
eighteen to eleven.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

A Bride with Many Friends.

A pretty idea, though hardly one that
would be feasible in the formal society
of New York, wasthat carried out for a
bride of the midwinter in one Of the in
terror cities of the state. She had q
large circle of intimate friends, and
knowing that she was going to. begin
housekeeping at once, they took posses
sion Of the residence and fitted it COM
pletely. From her nearest relatives
came the more expensive silver and
furnishings, but down to the matchbox
i'm the kitchen the belongings of the
home were the carefully studied con-
tributions of friends. The young brides
Sunday school class took graceful hand
i'm the proceedings, and all friends found
at least a small niche to hold an offering.
Life in home of such composite friend
ship must have an added charm. Her

An Expensive Laugh.

A railroad man who knows Senator
Brice intimately told this story of. him:
Mr.. Brice for some time wanted certain
matters arranged at Sandusky, but his
desires were prevented by two of the
younger Vanderbilts, and he finally
went to them. They laughed at him,
and Brice became quite angry. "Young
men," said he sternly, '.you must not
laugh at me; / won't permit it. Your
father laughed at me once and it cost
him nearly $9,OOO,OOO, and I know he
had great deal more sense than you
have"
President Brice in a months time got
what he asked for at Sandusky.-Indian-

Miss Hussey,s influence.

Miss Martha S. Hussey, a member Of
the school committee of Billerica, at a
recent town meeting presented to the
citizens an argument for the consolida-
ton of schools, which was replete with
good sense and good logic, and proved to
be very effective. After listening with
interest ard marked attention, the town
voted liberal appropriation for new
school building to accommodate all the
children of the south part of the town.
Both Miss Hussey and her town are to
be congratulated. Woman's Journal.
