The Sargasso Sea
One of the Battling Myteries of Nature

the sea dirtctly beneath the area in
which it is seen. This theory has been
discredfted by scientists making sound
ings, which showed no growths what
ever at the bottom
Others believe that the plant grows
on the surface of the water, each branch
that breaks off from the parent stem
becoming an independent plant. This
theory also has been discredited. The
greater number of scientists cling to
the belief that the weed is a habitat of
the gulf of Mexico, as it has been found
attached to rocks at the bottom in most
parts of it. Their theory is that the
seeds of this plant become attached to
rocks in the manner usual to ali algae.
When the plant has obtained con-
siderable size it offers greater resist
ance to the progress OF the continual
current than the stalk will stand, and
consequently is broken off. 1t then
rises to the surface and IS swept on
ward by the stream until ii passes
through the gulf of FLORIDA The gulf
stream has a tendency to throw all
floating bodies off TO the right of its
course, and the weed is therefore grad
ually turned into the central area. One
point in substantlation of this theory
is the fact that the ends of all the
stalks are dead.

One of the most prevalent of the I'M
truthful ideas regarding this phenome-
non is that ships are unable 10 make
their way through its expanse, and
that TO attempt it will result in their
being caught and carried to the center,
from which there is no escape. Scien-
lists discredit this story absolutely, and
from Columbus's journal II is not ap-
parent that he had any difficulty in
that connection.
Various scientists have attempted to
define the exact area of the Sargasso
sea. In 1865, NJ Leps, a Frenchman,
made maps in which that region was
charted definitely, and it is claimed that
all the maps made in the last 40 years
have been based on these. As a re-
suit of his observations, Mr.. Findley.
an English writer, who is considered
an authority on the subject, claims that
il has no specific boundaries, but fluc-
tuates. He believes IL is more south
erly in winter and the reverse during
the summer months. One scientist
claims that the Sargasso sea is as large
as the Mississippi valley.

NEW IDEAS IN WALL PAPER.
Effects Which Will Add Greatly to

All the Seasons.

One Of the newest ideas in room

and then an applique of flowers is put
up Just below the cornice. This ap-
plfque is made by cutting away the
background from the pattern of can
vas or paper frieze, giving the design
the appearance Of bold openwork en-
brotdery. A very sharp pair of scis-
sors may be used. and it does not at
all matter If the frieze be. cut into
short lengths SO long as it is pasted
up carefully on the wall so that the
joins do not show.
The design should not be ''conven-
tional," but of natural looking
flowers. A very pretty effect is gained
by carrying this idea out all through
the house, choosing different flower
for each frie1e. One room might have
frieze Of pansies, another punches
and tendrils Of violets, another golden
daffodils. The flower chosen for the
frieze is repeated in the pattern on
the hanging, the chintz on the chairs
and on the toilet table.
Cream enamel or green stained

can carry out this idea in her bed

The raspberry flavor is popular and
for ices is considered among the most
delicate, more so than the strawberry.
The confectioners and some home
cooks as we'll as the cooking schools
are extending the use of both these
berries every year. They are used in
the delicate cream patties and may get
into less perishable candies, although
the majority of people reject any kind

used.
The lemon is a standby, the pineap-

the very adaptable peach. But the
cool desserts are not necessarily of
fruits. The junket, chocolate and cof-
