The Llanelly choir of Wales will
give recital at the First Methodist
church Wednesday evening. January
twelfth. The following from the Will
Transport Gazette and Bulletin, is of
interest:
The First Presbyterian church was
filled to OVERLOOKING last night to hear
the Welsh singers Not only was
every seat in the building occupied,
but every inch of standing room was
crowded, the vestibules were damned
and even the steps leading to the
building were full. The sidewalk
under the big windows was packed so
that pedestrians We're compelled to go
into the street or cross over to the
opposite side. The crowd was so great
that Police Sergean. Thomas Cochran
and Patrolman Elmer w. Smith were
sent to take charge Of the situation.
At least 1000 people succeeded in
getting inside. There was big rush
when the doors were opened, and it is
figured that 200 people succeeded in
getting inside of the doors in five min
utes. Conservative estimates place the
number of people in the church and
those who failed to get in the building
at $500.

Facfs Apout SeaWeeti.

Seaweed Ia not much to look at.
but seaweed does not depend 30 much
upon beauty as upon more substan-
tial merit to make itself worthy OF at
tention.
Various species of 1t are used In
manufactures, and several varieties
are edible, the most important Of
the latter being Irish or carrageen
moss. used In the preparation Of
jeliies-blancmange. for instance;
dulse, or dillesk, very highly thought
OF in Scotland. particularly whom
roasted by wrapping about hot tongs,
and kelp, or tangle.
Irish moss and some other species.
particularly eelgrass and fiat-stalk
rock weed, have been found valuable
az cattle food. especially when boil
ed to destroy the rank taste and
mixed with meal. The eelgrass and
rockweed compare fayorabiy with
hay as regards the most important
constituent--protetn, containing sos
and 6.2l per cent. respectively. They
are deficient in fat. but contain a
large amount Of ash.
The great bulk OF the seaweed
gathered. however. IL used as fer
ti1fzer, and the average seaweed con-
Iains large quantities of all the essen
tial fertilizing elements.
