long, and all the lower valley is flooded,
the greatest damage has been done in
district of 100 miles between Landers
and Yale.
Col. Baker, provincial secretary, has
been personally directing the relief
work for the local government Unre-
nitting attention on the part of the
government is being required by the
unfortunate settlers, many Of whom are
dependent upon the calling of relief
steamers for what little they get to eat.

Yet Ended.

Color of Seas.

From All the Year Round.
The colorS of pure ocean water and the
varying shades observed where impurities
are met with are still further diversified
by the coloring effects of the enormous
muititudes of various forms of Organized
life, which sometimes mask the natural
color of the surface of the sea and tinge
extensive areas with remarkable colors.
Red appears to be most frequently met
with. In the southern parts of the Red
Sea and in the Arabian Gulf large areas
are colored blood-red by microscopic ami
malcule, and in the Indian Ocean similar
forms of life cause, in addition to red
milk white or yellow spots of great extent
the appearance of which Is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor.
Off the Guinea coast ships sometimes ap-
pear to float in milk. Extensive red streaks
are also known to occur in the South At
lantic and South Pacific, which are caused
by hosts of small red crustacea. The Yer
million Sea- of California, owes it's bril-
liant color to infusoria. Areas colOred green
have been noted especially in the arctic
regions, which are due to myrads of dia-
toms, and in some portions of the Antarctic
seas diatoms of rusty color make the water
dirty brown.
