ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland,
Aug. 19.-The myth of the Sar-
gasso sea has been exploded. That
alleged graveyard of lost ships
has been exonerated. The story
writers who have found the Sar-
gasso sea such a fruitful theme
for tales of derelicts trapped in
the Shiny, weedy stretches of a
marine desert clogged with float
ing islands of seaweeds, must
needs find a new scene for their
dramas.
For the Sargasso sea is not the
weedy waste that 1t is painted.
There are seaweeds there, of
course, but not enough to seri-
ously impede the navigation of
any ordinary vessel.
The steamer Michael Sars, of
the United States photographic
service, sent out from Plymouth
last April with a company of sci
entists aboard, has just come
into this port after a three-month
study of the Sargasso sea, with
the report that the stories about
the mass of seaweed caught in
the dead waters of the central At
lantic north of the Cape Verde
islands are greatly exaggerated.
The scientists with the expedi-
tion say that the Sargasso sea is

Instead of being tunneled or

rail an ordinary trolley wire is
used set down the middle of the

1t is estimated that a subway

SMALLER CITIES May NOW HAVE SUBWAYS

This is picture of a new sub

make them pay. For example.
the New York subway is IA feet

s250,O0o FOR WORK OF
TARIFF COMMISSION

Washington, May 1.-TWO hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for the work of a
tariff commission Is provided by sec
ton of the sundry civil appropriation bill
prepared by Representative Tawney and
presented in Congress today. The ap-
preparation is based upon the estimate
practically made by President Taft him.
self.
The provision IS prepared by Mr.. Taw-
ney gives wide opportunity for the Pres.
ident to exercise his own discretion in
the work of the tariff board and does not
limit the number of persons who may
be appointed. The President is author
lied to appoint experts to obtain accurate
information at home and abroad on the
cost Of production.
The board and all its employees will be
subject to the order Of the President
and the information obtained can be
used in recommending to Congress any
changes necessary In the tariff rates to
prevent undue discrimination in favor OF
or against any American product.
In preparing the Payne tariff bill Mr..
Tawney said the methods used were those
which had been followed in the prep
aration of all the tariff bills, because
none other was available.
For this reason added Mr.. Tawney,
"the rates Of duty in some cases may
not consequently represent the declared
principle of republican protection: that
is they may be more and they may be
less than the difference in the cost OF
production. To this fact, more than any
other, may be attributed practically all
dissatisfaction with the Payne law.

cannot make reports on all matters re-

And in spite of all this work ahead

than for what 1t did. That the effort

older men in the conference are
against the innovation Is equally ap-

SHARKS KILL BIG WHALE

Presently the spelbound spectators re-
allied two facts-frstly, that the calf
had disappeared in the melee, and Sec
ondly, that the tortured whale was I'M
doubtedly growing weaker. It was OBJ
vicus that the unequal struggle could
have only one ending. Still. however,
she fought on doggedly, winning admira-
ton and sympathy by her exhibition of
hopeful courage. Altering her tactics.
by a supreme effort she hurled her whole
great bulk clear of the water for mo-
ment, and the fascinated onlookers be-
hello the sharks hanging from various
parts of her cleaning body by their SER
rated teth. Then down she went again,
with a crash like thunder, and for an in
slant whale and sharks were buried
amid masses of foam, heavily colored
with the poor mammals life blood. Ris-
ing again, she essayed another change
of plan, making for the rocks and des-
perately striving to rub off the clinging
sharks against their edges. But the
threshers were equal to the occasion:
while those on the outside maintained
their grip the others dived under their
enemy and charged her anew, tearing at
the whales side in an ecstasy Of ferocity
that was b1oodcurdlng to witness
More and more feeble grew the whales
struggles, and at last-to the heartfelt
relief OF the spectators, for her death fight
had been terrible to behold-the great
body turned over and sank beneath the
red-tinted water. The unequal battle was
over, having lasted from 9 o'clock until
noon-as awe-inspiring a contest as man
was ever privileged to witness.
Forty-eight hours afterward the whales
body, which had In the meantime become
distended with gas, rose to the surface
and exploded with roar like a minia-
ture powder magazine, causing the
startled people to rush to the shore to dis
cover what had happened.
