Uses of Sand Grass.
From PearSon's Magazine.

For many years the government at Wash
ington has, through the bureau of Agri-
culture. been investigating the nature OF
sand grasses. 1t has learned what other
countries have accomplished with them. 1t
has brought specimens from all lands and
gathered them by the hundreds, represent
ing every known variety growing wild in
this country 1t has studied their nature
and habits. experimental with them under
all possible conditions and finally it has
made a number of trial paintings in the
sandy regions along the shores of Massa-
chusetts California and Florida. Other
nations with greater deserts of sand in
their territory than those of this country
are watching the progress of these expert
ments. II they prove successful we may
expect to see gradual disappearance Of
such places in Europe which have for CEN
turtles stood as almost insurmouptable bar
riers to the progress of civilization.
