OCEAN TO FERTIIzE LAND.

Students of economics have repeat
eddy warned that some day the fertil-
ity of the earth will be exhausted and
the human race perish for lack of
food. Attention is being given by con-
structive thinkers, however. to the
problem Of finding somewhere an in
exhaustible store of fertilizer with
which to restore plant food to the soil.
Der Popular Mechanics Magazine, the
latest suggestion is that the Sargasso
sea. that strange marine meadow Of
interlaced sea plants covering q vast
area in mid Atlantic between the An
titles, the Azores, and Cape Verde. may
be made to renew the vitality of the
farm lands of all the world.
The algae and various other forms
of water vegetation which abound in
the Sargasso sea are rich In nitrogen.
phosphoric acid. potassium and mag
nesium sulphate, essential constituents
of plant life. Besides this the sea-
weeds contain sodium. chlorine, iodine,
and other materials beneficial to GER
tain crops. and cellulose in quantities
estimated to be greater than that OBJ
tainable from the combined forests of
Scandinavia, Russia and Canada All
these salts and substances have been
washed into the sea from the land, the

On Worthless Compliments.

On Worthless Compliments.
When Is a compliment not q com
pliment?
Did you ever ask yourself that ques-
ton?
Or do you find appreciation from
any source SO sweet a morsel that you
never stop to analyze it? There are a
great many people who are obligingly
uncritical of others opinions-that is,
when these opinions are favorable to
them. In the opposite case-well,
that's quite another matter. Then
they are sure to analyze the motives
most carefully and to find that envy
or jealousy OF a mean disposition on
the part OF the critic is at the root of
the criticism.
To return to the main road, tho true
value of appreciation is determined by
two factors: the conditions under
which 1t is given and the judgment of
the person who gives it.

lighted the other day because her

A ceremony which, through ita char
acter and rarity. brought to mind the
tragedy OF people in exile and their
love for the law in which they devoutly
believe. took place here recently, when
remains OF the scrolls. burned in the
nre which destroyed the synagogue Of
the congregation Ahav Zedek. three
weeks ago. were buried with all funeral
rites.
Early in the morning thousands Of
Hebrews living in the downtown Sec
ton Of the city began to gather near
the burned place of worship. At 10
O'Clock the burned scrolls were carried
out on a stretcher, wrapped in black
cloth, and then Rabbi Moses Rirlkind
began to chant the funeral prayer, pro-
nounced usually over the biers Of the
dead, Ell Molei Rachmin." The
crowds broke out in sobs and weepinss.
After the first prayer was pronounc-
ed the scrolls, carried on the stretcheF
and followed by the many thousands
were borne to the B'nai IRWIN Eyna-
gogue, where services were held FOR a
few minutes. From there the process

agogue. Here the formal procession
ended and the scrolls. still followed
by many, were taken to the Har Nebo
cemetery. Frankfort, where they were
buried beside the grave Of Rabbi A. H

At the cemetery the same pathetic
scenes Of tears and supplication tooa

and besmeared with the effects of the
fire. were being lowered into the grave

The ceremony is said to be the first
on record in this country. The only

comparatively recent years was the one
in Kishinef. Russia. when the scrolls
destroyed during the massacre in that
city in 1908 were buried with similar
rites.-New York dispatch to the
