Manama. the principal port Of the
Bahrein islands, the center of the
pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water
from the ocean. Visitors often note
boats anchored a few hundred yards
from the shore, the boatmen engaged
In drawing fresh water from springs
at the bottom of the sea- These springs
well up strongly at considerable
depth. and the entire water supply
of the town is obtained from them.
The fresh water is procured in two
ways-either in a goatskin water bag,
which diver takes down with him
and carefully closes before bringing it
to the surface. or by letting down long
hollow pipes of bamboo, weighted at
the lower end, through which the
water rises up uncontaminated to the
surface-Argonaut.

Paraguay's Sweet Plant.

A herb called by the natives caa
che. but botanically Eupatorium re-
baudianum, grows wild in Paraguay.
1t is remarkable for it's sweetness. In
deed, the native name means the
sugar plant" 1t grows along the Dor
ders of the river Amambahi and at
tains height Of only about five inches.
The smallest bit of this plant when
placed upon the tongue produces a
surprisingly sweet flavor, which. it is
said. lasts for hours. The saccharine
power is much greater than that OF
sugar.-Youth's Companion.
