The Largest Plant In the World.

THE largest plant in the world"
said an eminent naturalist to the writ
er the other day, is probably gigan-
tic seaweed, known as the 'nereocytis,
which frequently grows to a height Of
more than 300 feet The stem of the
plant is as strong as an ordinary rope
and large quantities of it are dried and
used as rope by the inhabitants of the
South Sea islands, where the curious
vegetable ropes are found. The sea-
weed usually grows to a depth of from
200 to 300 feet. As soon as the plant
takes root spear shaped balloon is
formed, which grows with the stem
toward the surface of the center. This
balloon frequently has a diameter of
six feet or more. 1t has, OF course,
an upward tendency and therefore
keeps the stem growing until it floats
on the top Of the water This enor-
nous weed grows in such quantities
that LARGE mea6owlike islands are
formed which are often so big as to
impede navigation. The ropes made
from the stem of the plant are used
for building purposes, and the balloons
when dried make very seryiceable yes

The majority resolutions, to exclude
Mr.. Roberts and declare the seat va
cant, were adopted, PCS to So The
affirmative vote was divided as follows;
Republicans, 16s; Democrats, 90; Popu-
lists, 4; and the negative vote Demo-
Gratis, A.; Silver Republicans 2; Popu-
lists, l.
There were over score of speakers
today, and the closing speeches on
each side were particularly able Mr..
Lanham of Texas closed for the major
ity and Mr.. De Almond of Missouri for
the minority.
Mr.. Roberts was present throughout
the day and left the hall after the re-
suit of the last vote had been announc-
ed. As he did so he gave out state
ment justifying his retention of his
plural wives on the ground that his
moral obligation was more binding
upon his conscience than technical
obedience to statutory laws, and saw
ing that there was little excuse for the
extraordinary efforts to crush a sys-
tenn already abandoned and practically
dead. He said he was a MARTYR TO a
''spasm of prejudice" He would not,
he said, attempt to run for congress
again, although he would go back
home with light heart confident Of
the future.
