What lie the sarqasso Scar

Columbus did not use the name Sar-
gasso sea. Oviedo. whose "Historia"
contained the first general account of
the discoveries in America. was the
first to apply the Portuguese word
sargaco (seaweed) to that part Of the
ocean in which gulf weed is prevalent.
The use of the noun sargasso or sar-
gassum is now practically confined to
this species of a large genus of sea-
weeds characterized by little air blad-
ders, each on its own stalk. The name
Sargasso sea is applied only to that
part of the Atlantic In which the weed
is found in greatest abundance. The
sea is roughly elliptical in shape. its
great axis almost coinciding with the
Tropic of Cancer, while the two foci
are near longitude 40 degrees to 70 de-
grees west The only land masses in
the sea are the Bermuda islands, near
which large collections of weed are
often seen. The weed drift Is thickest
between % degrees and 80 degrees
north latitude and west Of 40 degrees
west longitude. The Sargasso sea is
about one-third as large as the con-
tinental United States, but outside this
central ellipse are others, larger in size,
where the thinly scattered weed moves
in the gulf stream or Is driven by the
prevailing winds.-Cyrus @. Adams In

The Way to sueeeed.

Here is a bit of advice that will 20

The only way to succeed is to be sue
cessful Doesn't sound very profound,
does 1t? 1t isn't It's about as sim
pie as anything that has ever been
printed, and at first sight 1t may ap-
pear idiotic. But there is a lot In 1t.
The man who succeeds is the man
who brings to successful termination
every minute undertaking of every
days activity. The successful mans
life is made up of a myriad of sue
cesses. If you let one little item of
your days work get by you without
satisfying yourself that you have done
your best on 1t you are preparing for
a failure. A million treatises on how
to be successful will not help you.
The trouble with too many of us is
that We are so busy trying to see a
great success in the future that we
can't see the chances for little sue
,cesses under our noses. Heaven is
not reached at a single bound, and
neither Is success. The only way to
succeed is to be successful. 1t Is
worth thinking over.-St. Paul News.

broidered waistcoat and sticks that
might have done honor to the crutch
