Picture Films to Fieht Disease.

Moving picture theaters have been en-
listed in the army of crusaders fighting
tuberculosis by selling Red Cross Christ
mas Seals, and on December 18th in all
parts of the United States film emit
tied ''The Red Cross Seals" will be ex-
hibited for the first time according to
an announcement of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.
The picture drama has been produced
by the Edison Manufacturing Company
in cooperation with the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis and the American National
Red Cross. 1t portrays an interesting
story of New York life, and is besides
filled with educational scenes that show
how tuberculosis is contracted and how
it may be prevented and cured. The
film is 200 feet long. The workers in
every state of the United States are
urging their local theaters to exhibit the
picture.
The plot of the story centers about
the winning of the prize of 500 for the
best design for the Red Cross Seal for
1910, by Ellen Williams, poor girl of
the tenements who makes her living by
decorating lampshades for very meagre
wages. She has applied to the art
school where she longs to take course
of study, but finds that the cost, $1OO,
is too much for her purse. AS she turns
to leave the school, a young man of
wealth sees her in the office and is
struck by the pathos of her beauty and
disappointment. Tired of his purpose
less life, Jordan resolves to see for him
self chow the other half lives" Ores
sed as an ordinary day laborer, therefore
he rents a room in the same tenement
with Ellen, and soon becomes greatly
attached to her. He sees her struggle
to win the 500 prize for the Red Cross
Seal design, and finally sees her win it.
Then he sees her give up all the am
billions of her life, when she turns over
the 500 to neighbor, so that her boy
might have chance to be cured at
sanatorium.
Struck by the noble sacrifice, Jordan,
unknown to Ellen, buys the tenement,
renovates the neighboring apartment,
enlists the cooperation of a district
nurse, and helps thus to restore the
consumptive to health and remove from
his family the danger of further infect
ion.
Thus, in the end, when Jordan reveals
to Ellen his identity, she finds in his
proposal that she share with him his
palatial Fifth Avenue mansion, she has
gained great love, home and the
satisfaction of her ambition, all because
of the Red Cross Seal.

AFATHER'S DREAM.
The Last Scheme Herr Bischoff
Planned For His Son.
BY HELEN COMFORT,

copyright. 1910. by American Press Asso-
ciation.J
In the center of a large tract of land
In Germany hundred years ago stood
a hunting lodge owned by Wilhelm
Bischoff. a retired merchant of Berlin.
Both Bischoff and his son Carl were
sportsmen and used to go to this
lodge in the proper season to hunt.
The wild boar was at that time still
to be found In certain parts of that
country. When food was scarce the
woods were infested with wolves.
The elder Bischoff was an optimist,
often surprising his family by some
visionary scheme. His son Carl, who
inherited the traits of his mother rath-
er than those of his father, was of a
more equitable mental organization.
On one Of Carts visits to the lodge
when his father remained at home he
stopped one dnv while hunting at an
ancient schloss occupied by one of
those impoverished German noblemen
whose ancestors were great men and
whose descendants have had to pay
for their progenitors' prominence. The
schloss had always belonged to the
Gehrensteins. whose living had been
gained by plundering. But that part
Of the country did not fill up with the
rest, and the laws gradually did away
with the employment of the robber
barons. He who occupied the schloss
at the time the incident narrated in
this story occurred had a pitiful in
come. which he supplemented by
game.
Carl Bischoff was entertained by the
baron, the only member Of whose fam
lily living was Gretchen. fair haired,
blue eyed maiden Of nineteen. Brought
up in a wild region, a certain I'M
couthness marked her movements. Yet
she had inherited the peculiar superb
ority of her ancestors. Carl followed
her with his eyes wherever she went
and saw in her the lady of the middle
ages of which he had often read. In
deed, having lived in the same schloss,
in the same wild country as they, she
could not be anything else.
Instead of hunting the wild boar
Carl Bischoff remained at the schloss
till the time had arrived for his return
to Berlin. He went away desperately
in love with Gretchen Gehrenstein,
and as he was the first young man

TN HE SargassO sea is one of the baf-
fling mysteries of nature 1t is
popularity believed that this phe-
nomenon is the graveyard of mighty
fleet Of dead ships. and fictionists have
made much of its suggestions of ro-
nance, tragedy and lost treasure
When Christopher Columbus was sail
ing toward America he encountered the
Sargasso sea. He recorded in his jour
nal that they began TO see many tufts
of grass which were very green and
appeared TO have been quite recently
torn from the land" Upon sight OF
this phenomenon his sailors exclaimed
that the very sea itself was turning
into land in order to retard his prog
resS.
This vast expanse of weedy sea is
very little less of a mystery to the pres
ent generation than it was to Columbus
As far as science is able to tell us the
SargassO sea is practically the same
today as when It was first discovered,
and is perhaps the only one of the
larger aspects of nature which has not
undergone some change since that time
Area Underlined.
Its area is still definitely underlined,
and the cause of its weedy deposit is

! 1t is situated in the north Atlantic
ocean, and is similar in shape to an
egg, the large end being toward Florida.
1t reaches from longitude 20 to longi-
tude 40, being about 500 miles south
west of the Azores. Its width lies be-
tween latitude 20 and latitude 35.
The Bermuda islands are the only

The Sargasso sea has been likened to
a basin of water with light substances
floating upon its surface. When this
basin is given a circular motion the
mass gathers in the center, where there
is the least disturbance. The SargassO
sea is the center of the body Of water
enclosed In the circle formed by the
Joining of the gulf stream current and
the equatorial current.
Covered With Seaweed.
The SargassO sea is covered with
masses Of yellow brown seaweed. Each
stalk has little air bladders which en-
able the plant to remain at the surface
of the water.
This weed usually is seen in long,
parallel rows, which stretch away in
the direction of the prevailing winds.

form island like patches. These are TO
be found mostly in the western part OF
the sea, and are seldom over 100 feet
in diameter, although fields several
acres in extent occasionally are seen.
1t is believed that near the center of
the sea these areas become larger. This
weed serves to keep the water calm,
even though heavy wind is blowing
Where this great supply Of seawecd
comes from is q mooted question. Some
believe that it grows at~the bottom of
