THE SARGASSO SEA.

4 Wonderful Region In tho Atlantic
Which No Man Has Explored.
The surface Of the Sargasso sea seems
IKE q perfect meadow Of seaweed It IL
supposed that this enormous mass Of
gulf weed may have been partly grown
at the bottom Of the shallower parts Of
the sea and partly torn from the shores
Of Florida and the Bahama islands by
the force Of the gulf stream. It is then
swept around by the same agency into
the Sargasso sea, where It lives and
propagates, floating freely in midooean.
And the store Is ever increasing, both
BY addition and propagation, 30 that the
meadow grows more and more compact,
and no doubt at the inner parts extends
to a considerable depth below the sur
face.
Nor is this all. for at least two-thirds
Of all the infinite hotsam which the gulf
stream carries along with it in its course
sooner or later finds q resting place in
the Sargasso sea. Here may be seen
huge trunks Of trees torn from the for
ests of Brazil by the waters of the ANA
zon and floated down far out to sea until
they were caught and swept along by the
current logwood from Honduras, orange
trees from Florida, canoes and boats from
the islands, STAYED in, broken and bottom
upward wrecks and remains Of all sorts
reaped from the rich harvest Of the At
lantic; whole keels or skeletons of ruin
ed ships, so covered with barnacles,
shells and weeds that the original out
line is entirely lost to view, and here
and there a derelict ship, transformed
from floating terror Of the deep into q
mystery put ont Of reach of man in q
museum Of unexplained enigmaa-

A New, YORK youth committed
suicide because his salary was too
small to enable him to get married.
The Buffalo Express thinks; that a
man who showed such consideration
for the girl he was in love with really
ought to have lived. The ordinary
man in such circumstances would
marry any way, and then let his wife
take in washing.

The school teachers of Long Island, N.
Y, will no longer ride to school on bicy-
cles. The school board has met and
solemnly declared that the practice is i'm.
moral This is the way one of the board
puts iti
I consider that for our boys and girls to
see their women teachers ride up to the
school door every day and dismount from
a bicycle is conducive to the creation of
immoral thoughts, and will sooner or
later cause the boys and girls to lose the
respect for the teachers and terminate in
the complete inability of the young
women to maintain discipline
Another member is alarmed lest the
practice may introduce the bloomer cos
tune. SIT is not the proper thing he
says for women to ride the bicycle They
wear skirts, of course, but if we don't
stop them now they will want TO be in
style with the New York women, and
wear boomers. Then how would our
school rooms look with the women teach
ers parading about among the boys and
girls wearing boomers? They might just
as well wear mems trousers I suppose
it will come to that, but we are deter
mined to stop our teachers before they go
that far.

The collision in the harbor which came
very near capsizing an island steamer
and drowning its passengers was not the
result of unavoidable accident When in
broad daylight and perfectly clear at
mosphere, with plenty of sea room and no
vessels crowding upon them one steamer
runs into another somebody is to blame.
Who was to blame in this case we do not
undertake to say. A Judgment on that
point to be just would require thorough
knowledge of all the circumstances at the
time of the accident as we'll as thorough
familiarity with all the 'srules of the
road. "The matter will probably get into
the courts and then the responsibility fixed.
1t was very unfortunate occurrence, and
it will be certain to have an effect upon
the island travel unless prompt and radi-
cal means are taken to prevent a reoccur-
renee. The managers of all the lines
should see to it that the captains of their
boats are forbidden to take any unneces-
sary risks Strict orders should be given
that there should be no attempt to speed
the boats beyond the limit of safety, and
racing above all things should be strictly
prohibited. The prime consideration
should be the safety of the passengers.
and any practice that puts this in jeop-
ardy should be forbidden under penalty
of the prompt discharge of the person
guilty of it. An accident to one of the
island boats in midsummer, loaded down
as they are with passengers, mig hit be at
tended with fearful loss of life.

Mr. Talbot Says the Press Misunderstood

him.
To the Editor of the Press:
AS aNgeneral rule must let the cour-
teous comments you have made or may
make on my silver articles, to which you
have accorded so liberal hospitality
unanswered, and pursue the subject upon
my own lines.
I cannot forbear, however, interposing,
apropos of your remarks on nv second
intend to say that the intrinsic and COM
mercial values of silver and gold were
not consider ed in fixing their proportion
ate money values at first, or that they
ought not to be carefully reconsidered in
any deliberate, concerted effort by the
whole commercial world to readjust their
monetary values. The dislocation and
disaster has.been produced by isolated ma
tions, on their own hook, and to gain
some special advantage demonetizing
one of the money metals, that had from
time immemorial constituted one half the
specie basis of the worlds monetary sys-
tenn
The way economists say the metallic
value affects the coinage value is this as
debtors always select the cheaper metal to
make payments with, the disused dearer
coins are melted and sold at their mer-
chandise price to gain the premium, and
passing out OF circulation, the currency is
contracted and prices fall.
But you see that this can only happen
when both metals enjoy their unimpaired
monetary functions for if one-silver for
examples demonetized, as in England
or virtually demonetized, as in the United
States, by being denied free coinage and
cheap dollars in circulation, the bulk of
those coined lie dead in the Treasury,
and, though they circulate in certificates
those certificates are redeemed in gold
We were as strictly on monometalic bas-
is as is England.
On the other hand, you doubtless reflect
very general impression, that the enor-
silver in the monetary system of Russia,
Austria, Italy, the United States and
other commercial nations has prevented
merchandise demand for it from assert
ing itself. The superior demand always
controls price, So think you will be
surprised to learn, unless you disregard
the assertion of the most competent ex
perts that along with this enormous de-
mand for gold for money, is such de-
mand for it in the arts that the new
supplies, great as they are, barely suffice
to keep the stock good. Gold ornaments
are luxuries, the dearer they are the great
er distinction it is to possess them.
Besides this, gold being itself the sole
standard or measurement of values, no
exaggeration of value can raise it above
the monetary value. Its appreciation is
measured, and can only be, in the depre-
citation of silver, and the nearly equiva-
lent depreciation of commodities.
G. +. TALBOT
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1895-06-21

1t appears from a letter published else
where that we have misunderstood Mr..
Talbot's meaning He did not intend to
say that commercial value was of no con-
sequence in coin. All that we have to say
is that if he did not mean that his ex-
pressions were unfortunate. Here is his
language:
But when the custom, at first local,
then general finally adopted and enforced
by commercial law, to consider certain
weight of gold, and a larger weight of
silver as money, that is, a medium and
instrument of univeral purchase and pay
ment-then they took on, by necessity,
new functions and acquired new values,
in the presence of which their commercial
stance of secondary, if not entirely irrele-
want consideration The paramount
question, if not the sole question, as to
everything that subserves the use of
money-whether metallic or paper-as
every man, who consults his daily expert
ence must confess is, will it pass?
ga circumstance of secondary, if not
entirely irrelevant consideration, that
sic value is of no consequence that we
can hardly be accused of serious mis-
understanding. Again he says:
He takes the disks (of gold and silver)
because they have symbolic and conven-
tional value, and because he can with
them command another house, another
steam-engine, whenever he may want
them. He takes them as valuable alone
in their representative character, for he
will take with the same alacrity bills,
notes and checks, which not only do moi
have, but cannot have any intrinsic
value.
1t seems to us that here again the idea
that intrinsic value is of no consequence
or, at least, of very little. is prominently
brought out. We may add further that
not only the PRESS but the Lewiston
journal which commented upon his ar.
ticle, evidently after careful reading,
came to the conclusion that it was Mr.
Talbot's idea that it was the government
stamp entirely that conferred the value
on money, that made it pass.

deprive the Sultan of everything but a
nominal sovereignty in Armenia. The
surrender of the Porte before that report
has become public has probably enabled it
to make better terms than it otherwise
could-better than it ought to have Sc
cured. The continued presence of the
Turk in Europe, and his dominion there
and in Asia Minor have long been a
stencil in the nostrils of all civilized
people, and the only reason they were not
ended long ago was the jealousy of the
powers of one another and the fear of a
squabble over the control of his domin-
IONS But the day is fast approaching
when these considerations will not be
powerful enough to repress the swelling
tide of Indignation at the existence of this
barbaric government in the midst of the
civilization of the nineteenth century.
How effective the reforms will be that
the Sultan has agreed to depends chiefly
upon the closeness with which their exc
cution is watched by the powers. Any
reform at all is ungrateful to him and
his people, for their instincts are savage
and nothing but the fear of superior force
makes any impression upon them.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1895-06-21

On some accounts it is to be regretted
that the Sultan did not stick to his de-
iance of the demand of the powers for
radical reforms in Armenia The evil
dence that is continually cropping out
of the horrible atrocities perpetrated by
the Kourds at Sassoun on the
helpless Christians had already
aroused a strong feeling all
over the civilized world in favor of very
summary dealing with the Porte, and the
report of the international commission,
which will undoubtedly confirm this evil
dence, would have so intensified it that
the powers would have been compelled to
