SEA AS A NUTRIENT FLUID
English Naturalist Convinced That
Value Of Oceans Water Has
Not Been Understood.

DR.. w. ]. Dakin brought forward az
the British association some interest.
ing corroborations Of Putter's theory
that sea or fresh water Is more or less
u nutrient fluid. there being more or
ganio carbon present In solution In
the water than there is in the multitu'
dinous plankton that swarms there,
DR.. DRkIn has tried to estimate the
amount Of carbon and oxygen re-
quired by certain aquatic animals per
day to cover the loss due to metabo-
lism. On the basis of this estimate,
which ia probably very approximate,
a sponge 60 grammes In weight would
require to filter several thousand
times its own volume of water per
hour in order to obtain sufficient food
IAN altogether unthinkable piece Of
work" A big jelly fish would require
over seven millions of nauplius larvae
per day. 1T is quite impossible for
such large quantities to be caught,
and equally strange that remains of
the creatures are so raraly found II
they have been captured as food"
Another striking fact, or result Of cal
culations at all events. is that the
producers" (the plant-plankton) are
insufficient for the Consumer" (the
animal plankton). High alpine lakes,
for instance, in which there is an out
standing production of animal plank
ton, are almost deserts as far as plant
plankton Is concerned. What do these
alpine crustaceans and dotifers feed
on7 Putter's theory is the only solu.
ton of the riddle, We come to the
idea that the water in lake and sea
is food as well as drink. There is
bread in the Understanding to the
ingenious showing Of DR.. Dakin

WANTS DOCUMENTS SAVED
GOVERNOR BROWN AND HARDY
ULM ARE ON THE JOB.
Papers and Relics That Have Been
Neglected for Years Are in
Bad Condition.

ATLANTA, Ga.--For unnumbered
years the valuable pubic documents
and records of the executive depart
ment have lain in the department.
unprotected, and with practically lit
tie system obtaining for filing and
caring for important documents
there.
Governor Brown has realized the
lack of system and the danger to pub
lie papers and records since his IN
cumbency of office, but the exact
method of remedying conditions was
not clear.
After due consideration, however,
he has determined to take the bull
by the horns, so to speak, and ne
has authorized Secretary Hardy Ulm
to go forward with the necessary
work to place the executive records
and papers in first-class shape,
Mr.. Ulm will devote the next two
or three months to this important
work. He will have cabinets and
glass cases made to keep priceless
records and documents under cover
Many old state records in bound vol
umes are fairly falling to pieces from
exposure and rough handling. These
will be rebound and put in first-class
shape.
Mr.. Ulm will make 1t his work to
systematic the filing of papers and
records so that any can be found at
once, and all will be adequately pro-
tected. Now and then governors
have been embarrassed because pa
pers wanted could not be found. 1t
is known that they are in the Office,
but the lack of system makes it the
work of weeks or months to locate
any particular paper
Special study has been given to
the matter BY Mr.. Ulm and he viii
work his plans out. He is satisfied
that future officials will have no
trouble in laying their hands on any
papers wanted at a moments notice.
1t will cost about $4,000 to place the
system in shape.

MOST MEMBERS FROM NORTH
Are More Northern Democrats Than
Southern in Congress for First
Time in History, 1t Is Figured.

WASHINGTON, D. CT has just
been discovered by statisticians of the
house that for the first time in the
history of the lower branch OF con-
gress the democrats of the North Will
outnumber their party colleagues OF
the South. Never before has democ-
racy drawn its main strength from
north of the Mason and Dixon line
but as the investigators figure it the
party will have in the coming house
1872 northern democrats and only l4o
from the south. In party caucus IN
case of a split on sectional lines, THIS
would give the northerners a major
fly of twelve. BY reason OF longer
service the southerners will control
virtually all of the important com
mittees and thus practically will be
able to direct the business Of the
house.
