OF contemporaneous Human Interest.

Augustin Daily has given one phrase
TO American literature that, whatever
may be its defect as a logical statement,
has taken such deep root in current
English that it is doubtful whether it
can possibly be eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. The phrase is,
"Of contemporaneous human interest.
Mr. Daily employed it originally in de-
scribing one Of his adaptations Of the
pluybilL The literary critics scored the
phrase unm orcifully at the time and
tried to ridicule 1t out of existence, but
ii seems that despite the irresistible
conclusion that no play could possibly
possess any interest for trees or cattle as
distinguished from "human" creatures
EIr. Daily had filled long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas-
ing frequency. Doubtless every one who
uses it does SO under mental process
charging the responsibility on DAILY, but

4 Wonderful Region In the Atisa III
Which No Man Hes Explored.

4 Wonderful Region In the Atisa tiS
Which No Man Hss Explored.
The surface Of the Sargasso sea seems
Hike perfect meadow Of seaweed It is
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 shoref
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, SO that the
meadow grows more and moro 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 fotsam which the gulf
stream carries along with it in its course
sooner or later finds resting place in
she Sargasso sea. Here may be seen
huge trunks Of trees torn from the for
ests of Brazil by the waters Of the ANA
2on 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 derelict ship, transformed
from a floating terror of the deep into
mystery put out of reach of man in a
museum Of unexplained enigmas.-
