It is peculiar that SO striking phe-
nomenon as the phosphorescence OF the
sea should remain almost unnoted by
the ancient writer's. There are several
reasons for this. Tho ancients seldom
ventured for away from the coast;
they Rugged the shore by day and
pulled up at night on some convenient
beach, hence they did not often SEQ
at ell. Their ships
were merely boats, not built or rugged
for sailing close to the wind, which is
the most favorable position for observ-
ing this phenomenon. All such occur
rences were regarded by the ancients

with regard to St. Elmo's fire is sur
vival Of this belief-and hence the ap-
pearances when seen were not much
talked Of. Then, too, the ancients, saw

seem to have been curiously insensible
to the beauties of nature. It 10 still

isms which produce phosphorescence

than they were then, in consequence

Des Moines, Ia, May %, '99.-
The past week was unseasonably
cold and wet, With an excessive
amount OF clcudiuess. The daily
mean Temperature ranged from 3
to 5 degrees below normal. The
amountof rainfall was about norm
al in all districts and was very
heavy in the southern half of the
state, where the soil was already
saturated by the heavy showers of
the preceding week.
Under these conditions but lit
tie progress has been made in
planting corn, except in some
favored localities and on the nat
urally dry or tile. drained lands.
In the northern districts planting
is more advanced than in the CEN
trail and southern sections. In
large portions of the central and
southern districts blowing and
planting operations will not be
completed until after June Let,
even under the most favorable
weather conditions in the future.
Numerous reports show failure
of termination of early planted
corn, and it is probable that more
than the usual amount of replant-
ing will he necessitated.
The conditions have been very
favorable for grass in pastures and
meadows, new seeding of timothy
aud clover and ell spring grain
