time been considerable agitation of the
question of changing to the broad
gauge. With a view of deciding whe-

The Dangerous Adventure Of DGtGC-
tive ". M. Lugg.

Four years ago, at the time of the
Chill, as a result of the killing of sail
ors of the u. S. S. Baltimore, in the
streets of Gillian city, many Ameri-
cans were obliged to leave the coun-
try for safety. Among them was w.
M. Lugg, the private detective, whose
office is in the Croker Building, San
Francisco, Cal.
When Mr.. Lugg left Chill he went
across the mountains into Argentine,
travelling on muleback. He says that
the trip is a delightful one in point of
beautiful scenery and perfect wealth
er, but many people disliked to under
take it on account of unhealthful stag
nant water which they are compelled
to drink along the way.
Il fell a victim to the injurious
qualities of the water" said Mr.. Lugg.
1T affected my kidneys to an alarming
degree. When l got over in Argentine
1 thought the trouble would gradually
leave me, but instead of that it grew
more aggravated and / suffered terri
bly, from pains in the region of my
kidneys. l was en- route to Chicago,
and l determined to reach my desti-
nation before the complaint should
grow so serious as to confine me to
my bed. Upon reaching Chicago l at
once consulted a physician, who told
me my kidneys had been affected by
drinking polluted water. He treated
me for some time for that complaint,
but 1 grew steadily worse, and new all
ments were added to my already seri-
Gus condition. l began to have neural
gic pains in my head, my spine was at
fected with shooting pains, and l had
no control over the urinary organs.
1t was next to impossible for me to
get any sleep. l lay awake many a
night suffering the most intense pains,
and the physician unable to relieve
them.
But relief came at last. One day
one of my friends came to my room
and handed me a vial of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. OF course laughed at him
for daring to think that any patent
medicine could aid me when my ply
stefan had failed. took the pills. how
ever, to oblige my friend more than
for any faith l had in them. and I
was treated to the most joyful surprise
of my life when l realized that was
being relieved Of my pains. First, the
peculiar pains along my spine ceased. |
and then my neuralgia trouble began
to grow less, and finally left me en-
tirely. 1t took a good while to i'm
prove the condition of my kidneys, |

ROPES GROW IN THE OCEAN.

The largest marine plant, and prob
ably one of the highest plants known
on this globe, is a gigantic sea-weed
the nereOcytiS, the stem of which has
been found to grow as much as 800
feet long. 1t was first discovered not
far from the Alaskan Coast, but has
since been found floating various parts
of the Pacific Ocean along the Ameri-
can and Asiatic shores. This seaweed
grows in very curious manner. Large
quantities of it are found at little dis
lance from schore, and at depths not
exceeding 300 feet. On loamy bottom
large thickets of this plant take root,
and stem of the thickness of ordinary
cord grows upward. At its top there is
a pear-shaped balloon, which grows
with the stem, and when it reaches
the surface of the water it often meas
ures six feet and more in length, with
a diameter of four and one-half feet.
This balloon has, of course, an up
ward tendency, and keeps the stem
growing until it floats on the surface
of the water. From the top of this
balloon large tuft of strong, thick
spade-llke leaves grow out, which or
iginally are not more than two feet
long, and which grow and split until
from the balloon roSe-like growth
of from so to IS feet in diameter covers
the water. This gigantic weed grows
in such quantities that near the shore
large meadow-like islands are formed.
which impede navigation. The natives
of the Aleutian Islands make manifold
usage of this plant. From their strong
dried stems they make ropes $50 feet
and more long, while balloons of this
weed furnish them with large vessels
after they are dried, the smaller ones
being used in their boats to bail out
water. The long leaves, after being
dried, are cut into narrow strips and
used for wickerwork, the making of
baskets and similar furniture.
