He says the sea, once marked by sea-

of clear water. 4 report of this strange
occurrence has been forwarded TO the
photographic office in Washington
The large area of comparatively still
water which lies in the interior of the
several currents Of the North Atlantic
ocean is called the ',Sargasso sea" on &C
count of the quantity of seaweed that
floats or floated On its surface.
The boundaries Of this area, which is
of an irregular elliptical shape and
nearly equals that Of continental Europe.

as being between the parallels OF 20 and
81 degrees north and between the meri-
dams of 30 and so degrees west. Into it
is collected large proportion of the
drift wreckage which floats about tie
