FORTUNES MADE IN SEAWEED

Many Other Articles.

Seaweed is rapidly establishing .
claim as the greatest friend OF man.
and many new uses are being discov-
cred for it in foreign countries.
If the experience Of the Japanese
and the dwellers on the western shores
of Norway, Scotland and Ireland Is to
be accepted, there are huge fortunes
to be made from seaweed. The jap

ploy some SOC, 600 persons IN the sea-
weed Industries. These are mainly
engaged in preparing edible products.
China alone consumes $1,000 worth
OF the gelatinous articles every year.
The edible seaweeds Of Great Brit
ain and Ireland are advancing in pop
ularity even among London epicures.
Served with roast meats they are
SAID to De extremely palatable.
The London industry which employs
Devonshire and Japanese seaweed in
the manufacture of such diverse OBJ
1ects as cloth, stout shoes, golf balls.
policemen's boots, picture frames,
marbled floors and electric switch
boards, by no means monopolizes its
uses. In Cornwall seaweed Is used as
fertilizer for the land. in France 1t
nnds utility as a stiffener for mat
tresses and a size for straw hats. The
native fishermen of South Australia
make ropes and fishing nets from local
varieties.
Iodine, chemical of great medicinal
value, claims seaweed as its principal
source. The production of "kelp," or
burned seaweed, which is the first
stage in its preparation, is an industry
that Is rapidly developing in north
western Europe. The hardy kelp
burners of the Hebrides and Irish
coast have now strong rivals in Scandi-

already exceeds that derived from fish

In America it has been found to be
q valuable source Of potash, greatly
needed as fertilizer.

BY II the Architect Won His Sons Life
From Louis XIV.
The great hall Of the Hotel de Vile
of Aries. designed by Mansard. is the
wonder and admiration Of every one
who has seen it on account Of the
groined roof.
In regard to this a neighhoring cafe
tier tells q somewhat grim story. King
Louis XIV. happened to be passing
through the city Just at the time Man
sard was experimenting the compile
ton OF his creation. The roof was sup
ported by powerful pillar. The mon
arch admired the work and coneratu-
lated the architect on his design. At
that moment the architect was passing
through great domestic tribulation. He
had a son under sentence Of death, so
he thought it would be a good oppor-
tunity to intercede on behalf of the
lad.
Mansam threw himself at the feet of
the king and said: Your majesty sees
in the center that massive column? If
you will spare the life Of my son l
will remove the unsightly pillar, and
the roof shall stand without support"
"Mansard." replied the king. III you
accomplish that miracle l will pardon
your son, but II you fail l will hang
you with him"
The architect removed the pillar
without great difficulty and with the
result desired. The cafetier is q phi
losopher. and he concludes his story
with the reflection that had not Man.
sard's son been a scamp the hall at
Aries would be just like any other hall.

Some Of the main points Of the

was subject to wide criticism. Roose-
welt now advocates its extension to
apply to federal as well as state
courts. He favors the establishment
of machinery to make easier of amend

business in which they are employed.
The government system should be
shaped SO that "the public servant,
when he cannot conscientiously car
ry out the wishes of the people, shall
at their desire leave his influences
and not misrepresent them in office"
Colonel Roosevelt did not suggest
the method by which he would bring
this about, and there was much speCu-
lation as to whether he had in mind

it was interpreted as declaration in
