Sea Moss.

This term is popularity applied to
any of the Polyzoa, which are COM
pound marine animals, several of
which share common horny skelc-
ton, or polyzoary, which is plant-like in
form. According to the bureau of
fisheries, several hundred thousand
pounds of these skeletons have been
imported annually from Europe, chief.
ly from France and Germany, for dec
orative and millinery purposes, and
the supply has now been practically
cut OF by the war. 1t therefore seems
opportune to develop a domestic in.
dustry, as sea mosses. probably equal
in quality to those heretofore import.
ed, are said to, be abundant on our
coasts, especially in New England.
Those with large bushy fronds are the
most valuable.

Soldier Safe in Air.

An officer of the Royal Flying corps
of the English forces recently applied
to be allowed to rejoin his regiment in
his former capacity.
When asked why he wished to leave
the very important work of driving an
aeroplane through the clouds in search
of information of the enemy's move
ments he replied that he could not
bear to see his brother officers run
ming all the risks in the trenches while
he was flying in safety above them.
His fellow officers in the flying corps
agreed with him that their work was
less hazardous than that of the fight
ing man on the ground. They also
showed by figures that smaller per
centage of casualties had occurred in
their branch than in any other of the
fighting forces.

FAVOR UMBRELLAS IN INDIA
Natives Seek Protection From Not
Only Rain, But Heat of sun-use
Constantly Extending.

Umbrellas constitute one Of the
most important articles of import into
India, as they are used by Europeans
and natives, writes Consul Baker.
While their use is largest during the
monsoon periods, yet they are also
employed to great extent, especially
in southern India, for protection
against the tropical sun. Among we'll
to-do natives, like those belonging to
the Parsee community in Bombay, for
whom custom and race traditions pre-
scribe a style of headgear that does
not give adequate protection against
the sun, as do the topees or sun hats
worn by Europeans, umbrellas are
commonly carried in fair as well as
rainy weather.
During the year ended March 81,
1914, India imported umbrellas and
umbrella fittings to the value of ap-
proximately $1,77O,O00, the larger part
of this being $1,055,0OO worth of fit
tings for the local manufacture of UNI
brellas. The total number of complete
umbrellas, including parasols and sun
shades, imported during the fiscal year
1914 was 1,967,560 of which 1851,
262 came from the United Kingdom
and 406.29S from other countries
There was a considerable increase in
imports over the preceding year, when
the total number imported was 1856,
49O. Undoubtedly the use of umbrellas
in India is constantly extending, as
the native classes, wherever they can
afford it, are quite ready to initiate
Europeans in the use of such articles
Few articles of import so readily ap
peal to the native as umbrellas.

GULL IN STRANGE MisHAP
Birds Life Endangered When lts
ssak Was Caught Between the
sheils Of Clam.

At first thought it is hard to imagine
how a clam could endanger the life OF
a bird. That such a strange circum-
stance is not impossible is shown by
the following incident.
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning to his
home by way Of beach Of hard sand,
when he beheld an unusually large
flock OF seagulls gathered in a
compact mass and beating with their
beaks and wings upon the sand. Evi-
IDENTIFY they were attacking some en-
emy. Overhead dozens of gulls
wheeled and screamed in evident ex-
citement.
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and few. chattering, toward the
clouds. One, however, lay tapping
upon the ground, and the man saw
that a monster clam held the gulrs
beak in a viselike grip. 1t was toe
heavy for the bird to fly away with
and for all the gull's frantic strug
giles, 1t could not loosen the CLAIMS
tenacious grip.
With his hurting knife the mai
pried open the shells and freed th'
captive. The gull was exhausted from
its desperate efforts, and at first coulC
only stagger like a drunken sailo
toward the water. Finally, however

RabY's Bedroom.

The room in which a baby sleeps
should contain no upholstered furni'
ture or heavy curtains on which dirt
and germs can find a lodging and
breeding place. The walls, if possible,
should be so finished as to allow fre.
quent wiping with damp cloth. The
temperature of the baby's room should
be kept not higher than 68 or 70 de.
grees in winter and in summer should
be kept as cool as possible with avn

should be kept open day and night in
summer and in winter the room should
be aired two or three times day.

EPIDEMIC OF SPOTTED FEVER
Now Raging in Eastern War Area
Disease Known In the Western
Countries as Typhus.

News that lady we'll known In So
cial circles here and in England has
been the victim Of spotted fever
brings that disease prominently before
the public. There seems to be an i'm
preston that this is a very severe form
OF infection epidemic in the eastern
portion of Europe and Asia, but quite
unknown in the western world. What
is called spotted fever, however, is
the familiar typhus fever Of the west
ern countries.
The other names for the affection
hospital fever, Jail fever, camp fever.
ship fever and sometimes famine fever
show the conditions under which 1t
develops. When people are crowded
together in unclean conditions, with
low nutrition from insufficient food
and contact with those already suffer
ing from the disease, this form of
fever becomes intensely virulent and
widely epidemic.
Typhus used to come to New York
rather often only little more than
fifty years ago in the crowded immi'
grant ships, and then made very seri
GUS ravages. If we had similar health
conditions it would still be a great
source of danger. Certain cases Of II
have been discovered in this city ever
during the last ten years, but so mild
was it in our better sanitary conditions
that 1t seemed quite a different all
ment and was for while called BrillE
disease. There is, as the Herald
prophesied as almost sure to take
place, a great epidemic of it now rag
ing in the eastern war area that will
undoubtedly in the sad state of health
matters there, cause a great deal O.
suffering and many deaths.-New Yorl

silver white, and the trees beyond
projected fantastic shadows out upon
its soft and wondrous beauty.
1t was like prayer of quiet praise
to the God of The Man. and of the
world in which he lives. Gradually it
touched the consciousness of The Man
himself sitting alone on the porch
scheming how he might become the
possessor of wealth.
1t invaded his soul, and The Man
was not pleased at the invasion. He
wanted to think and scheme, and here,
where he had thought to, be able to
best concentrate his thoughts, he
found them driven from his mind by a
silly thing like moonlight which
wrapped the little valley in its mystic
light.
It so impressed itself upon The Man
that he forgot that for which he had
asked to be left undisturbed. Gradual
ly it was borne in upon him that it
was something more than moonlight
this thing which chung in such won
drous beauty to the little valley-and
he was quickened in his spiritual be-
ing into the rebirth without which we
cannot enter the kingdom of God.
THE kingdom of God is here and
now, and the how every man must
work out in his own SOUL" he said, re-
iterating the words of the clear-eyed
friend which had sounded like so much
nonsense to him the day before.
He was suddenly filled with a sense
Of strength; a sense of the love of his
wife and children of which he had
hitherto taken so little time to think
sense of personal possession in all
there is of beauty in the whole wide
world; the peace and holiness of the
moonlight by night; the radiance OF
the sunlight by day; the blue of the
skies; the refreshment of rain; the
loveliness and fragrance of flowers;
the possession of everything there is
In the world worth a single human
thought-his without price and price.
| less.
Prayer-the first word of gratitude
that had ever gone from him to his
God--went out from the heart of The
Man and mingled with the Spirit in
the moonlight, and as it went, all
there was Of greed, of envy, Of hatred,
and of bitterness slipped away from
him Ike weighted mantle, and peace
as infinite as that which held the val
ley in its thrall entered his soul for
all time
And when those who had known
him heretofore could not, upon occa.
sion, suppress all they felt Of wonder
concerning his Transformation, The
Man explained with some such phrase
as miracle of moonlight" which Of
course they did not understand in the
least

It was evening. The Man was so
restless that he could not stay indoors.
All day he had been evolving schemes
in his mind for making money. Tell
ing his wife that he wanted to think
out some business matters in quiet
and did not want to be disturbed. he
pulled a comfortable chair to the far
end of the large porch which sur
rounded three sides of his suburban
home: the end which commanded
view of the little valley which lay
between the house and the woods be-
yond. Not that The Man cared about
the view. He had no time for views.
He propped his feet comfortably on
the railing which runs around the
edge Of the. porch, and sat for an hour
thinking OF his scheme. The moon
ueeped up over the edge Of the distant
trees, but The Man did not notice.

One day clear-eyed friend who saw
the way The Man was going pointed
out to him that he was making fool
Of himself.
"You are SO obsessed with the idea
of wealth that you are blind to your
blessings, man." said the friend.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness" quoted the
friend.
The Man looked at him in disgust.
"The kingdom of Cod" he sniffed.
''Bah!"
But when he was alone the memory
of the words haunted him. He had
heard them in his childhood days, but
they had been tucked away In some
remote corner of his brain for 10, these
many years. And now one of the few
friends who seemed to- understand
him, in these, his money-mad days
threw them into his teeth.
The next day he wheeled suddenly
around in front of his friend.

eyed friend. "As to the how, every

MIRACLE OF MOONLIGHT

From his youth up greed had been
an inherent quality of The Man. The
son of parents in moderate circum-
stances, he made up his mind early IN
life that the only thing worth while
was money, and occupied his thoughts
with the time when he should become
a man and begin acquiring it.
When he began his adult life the de-
termination to attain great wealth had
become so strong that 1t dominated
The Mans life. He was energetic
and honest, and life returned him a
just reward, but he was neither salts
fed nor happy.
When he had begun his business life
he took certain very rich man for
his standard, and made up his mind
that life should yield him just as
handsome returns, so that the COM
fort which his hard work had earned
for him and for his family seemed o.
such small consequence that 1t never
occurred to him as being worth a
word of thanks to the God who had
given him health of body and mind to
make his own way with comparative
ease in the world.
AS the years went on, and he was
still very far from being a man Of
wealth, he looked upon the rich as liv'
ing in a charmed circle, and there
came to accompany the envy and greed
which had always lived in his heart
a feeling also of bitterness.
He declared that everything worth
having could be obtained only with
money, and so completely did he ig
more the returns which accrued to him
from his own hard work that 1t came
about that he considered them no re-
turns at all, and greater bitterness
vet took possession of him.
