ROPE FROM THE SEA.
A Seaweed Whose Stem Is 500 Feet
Long.

A Seaweed Whose Stem Is 500 Feet
Long.
The largest marine plant and proba-
bly, one of the highest plants known on
this globe, is a gigantic seaweed, the
nereocystis, the stem of which has
been found to grow as much as 300 feet
long, says an exchange. 1t was first
discovered not far from the Alaskan
coast, but has since been found floating
in various parts of the Pacific ocean
along the American and Asiatic shores.
This seaweed grows in very curious
manner. Large quantities of it are
found at little distance from shore,
and at a depth not exceeding 300 feet.
On loamy bottom large thickets of this
plant take root and stem Of the thick
ness of ordinary cord grows upward.
At it's top there is pear shaped bal
loon, which grows with the stem, and
when it reaches the surface of the wat
err it often measures six feet and more
in length, with a diameter of four feet
six inches. This balloon has, of course,
an upward tendency, and keeps the
stem growing until it floats on the sur
face of the water. From the top of
this balloon a large tuft of strong,
thick, spade-like leaves grows out,
which originally are not more than two
feet long, and which grow and split
until from the balloon a rose-like
growth of from fifty to sixty-five 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 nav
igation. The natives of the Aleutian
islands make manifold usage of this
plant. From the strong dried stems
they make rope $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 fur
niture.

and over sea.
In a villa on the westward shore of
the Isle of Wight, the glass doors
which lead from the drawing room to
the garden are yet open. The shaded
lamp yet burns on the table. A lady
sits by the lamp reading. From time
to time she looks out into the garden
and sees the white-robed figure of a
young girl pacing slowly to and fro in
the soft brightness of the moonlight on
the lawn. Sorrow and suspense have
set their mark on the lady. Not rivals
only, but friends who formerly admired
her. agree now that she looks worn and
aged. The more merciful judgment Of
others remark, with equal truth, that
her eyes, her hair, her simple grace
and grandeur of movement have lost
but little of their olden charms. The
truth lies, as usual, between the two
extremes. In spite of sorrow and suf-
fering, Mrs. Crawford is the beautiful
Mrs. Crawford still.
The delicious silence of the hour is
softly disturbed by the voice of the
young lady in the garden.
go to the piano, Lucy. 1t is night
for music. Play something that is
worthy of the night"
Mrs. Crawford looks round at the
clock on the mantel-piece.
"My dear Clara, it is past twelve!
Remember what the doctor told you.
You ought to have been in bed an hour
ago."
Half an hour, Lucy-give me half
an hour more! Look at the moonlight
on the sea. Is it possible to go to bed
on such a night as this? Play some
thing, Lucy-something spiritual and
divine"

Blindly, instinctively, Crawford made
an effort to part them. His brother
officers, standing near, pulled him
back. They looked at each other anX-
iously. The merciless cold, striking
its victims in various ways, had struck
in some instances at their reason first.
Everybody loved Crawford. Was he,
too, going on the dark way that 9TH
ers had taken before him? They forced
him to seat himself on one Of the lock-
ers. STEADY, old fellow they said
kindly" steadyw Crawford yielded,
writing inwardly under sense of his
own helplessness. What in Gods name
could he do? Could he denounce War
dour to Captain Helding on bare sus-
picion-without so much as the shadow
Of proof to justify what he said? The
captain would decline to insult one OF
his officers by even mentioning the
monstrous accusation to him. The
captain would conclude, as others had
already concluded, that Crayford's
mind was giving way under stress of
cold and privatlon. No hope, literally,
no hope now but in the numbers OF the
expedition. Officers and men, they all
liked Frank. AS long as they could
stir hand or foot they would help him
on the way-they would see that no
harm came to him.
The word of command was given;
the door was thrown open; the hut
emptied rapidly. Over the merciless
white snow-under the merciless black
sky-the exploring party began to
move. The sick and helpless men,
whose last hope of rescue centered in
their departing messmates, cheered
family. Some few whose days were
numbered sobbed and cried like wom-
en-. Franks voice faltered as he turn
ed back at the door to say his last
words to the friend who had been a
father to him.
God bless you, Crayfordr'
Crawford broke away from the Off
GERS near him, and, hurrying forward,
seized Frank by both hands. Crawford
held him as if he would never let him
go.
God preserve you, Frank I would
give all have in the world to be with
you. Good-by! Goodbye
Frank waved his hand-dashed away
the tears that were gathered in his
eyes-and hurried out. Crawford call
ed after him, the last, the only, warn
ing that he could give:
while you can stand, keep with the
main body, Frank"
Wardour, waiting till the last-War-
dour, following Frank through the
snow-drift-stopped, stepped back, and
answered Crawford at the door:

An ice-feld on the far horizon is NOV
ing slowly southwark in the spectral
light. Nearer, a stream of open water
rolls it's slow black waves past the
edges of the ice Nearer still, follow
ing the drift, an iceberg rears its crags
and pinnacles to the sky; here, gilt
tering in the moonbeams; there, loom
ing dim and ghostlike in the ashy
light.
Midway on the long sweep of the
lower slope of the iceberg, what OBJ
jects rise and break the desolate mono
tony of the scene? In this awful soli-
tude can signs appear which tell of hui
man life? Yes! The black outline of
a boat just shows itself, hauled up on
the berg. In an ice-cavern behind the
boat. the last red embers of a dying
fire flicker from time to time over the
figures of two men. One is seated,
resting his back against the side Of
the cavern. The other lies PROSTATE
with his head on his comrades knee.
The first of these men is awake, and
thinking. The second reclines, with
his still white face turned up to the
sky-sleeping or dead. Days and days
since, these two have been given up by
their weary and failing companions as
doomed and lost. He who sits think
ing is Richard Wardour. He who lies
sleeping or dead is Frank Aldersley.
The iceberg drifts slowly; over the
black water; through the ashy light.
Minute by Minute the dying fire sinks.
Minute by minute the deathly cold
creeps nearer and nearer to the lost
men.
Richard Wardour rouses himself
from his thoughts, looks at the still
white face beneath him, and places his
hand on Franks heart. 1t still beats
feebly. Give him his share of the food
and fuel still stored in the boat, and
Frank may live through it. Leave him
neglected where he lies, and his death
is a question of hours, perhaps min
utes-who knows?
Richard Wardour lifts the sleeper's
head and rests it against the cavern
side. He goes to the boat and returns
with a billet of wood. He stoops to
place the wood on the fire, and stops.
Frank is dreaming, and murmuring In
his dream. A woman's name passes
his lips. Frank is in England again

PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY,.
Few of Them Seemed to Have Learned
Anything Noble from Nature.


For the stability and Righteousness
of our government we are accustomed
to think we must pin our faith on the
country people who live near to Ma
lures heart" writes Mrs. Lyman Abb
bolt in the October Ladies' Home Jour
nal, the first of a series of Peaceful
Valley papers which picture life in an
ideal rural community. But how
many of them" she says, seem to
have learned anything noble from her?
Her beauty does not refine them, her
honesty does not incite them to thor
oughness, her free-handedness does not
inspire them to generosity-they be-
come narrow and sordid in the midst
of grandeur and liberality. They i'm
agine there can be nothing in life but
work or play, toll or rest, and they feel
contempt for those who play and rest.
They have never learned to mingle
work and play, toll and rest in due
proportion, and they cease to find any
pleasure in life unless they abandon
work altogether. Like the tired wom-
an who wrote her own epieaph, they
fancy heaven a place where they can
do nothing forever and ever This
view of life makes loafers in the viii
lage as it makes them in the cities.
When different spirit has found room
to grow, a new order of living prevails.
Life becomes something more than a
slow grinding of the mill, more than
burden, to be endured only because
luxury as well as necessity. Indi-
viduals combine, not for their own adj
vantage, but to multiply benefactions.
and as strength increases, by. its right
use. the attainment of one worthy and
ambitious advantage is only the sug-
gestion and achievement of another"

at the whispering to Cl&a the
confession of his love.
Over Richard Wardour's face there
passes the shadow of deadly thought.
He rises from the fire; he takes the
wood back to the boat. His iron
strength is shaken, but 1t still holds
out. They are drifting nearer and
nearer to the open sea. He can launch
the boat without help; he can take the
food and the fuel with him. The sleep
er on the iceberg Is the man who mas
robbed him of Clara-who has wrecked
the hope and the happiness of his life.
Leave the man in his sleep, and let him
die!
So the tempter whispers. Richard
Wardour tries his strength on the boat.
1t moves; he has got it under con-
troll. He stops, and looks around. Be-
yond him is the open sea. Beneath
him is the man who has robbed him or
Clara. The shadow of the deadly
thought grows and darkens over his
face. He waits with his hands on the
boat-waits and thinks.
The iceberg drifts slowly; over the
black water; through the ashy light
Minute by minute the dying fire sinks
Minute by minute the deathly cold
CT eeps nearer to the sleeping man. And
still Richard Wardour waits-waits and
thinks.
