Flowers of the Sea.

Like the land, the sea has it's flow.
ers, but the most brilliant of the ma,
rine flowers bloom not upon plants but
upon animals. The living corals of
tropical seas present a display of floral
beauty that in richness and viyidness
of color and variety and grace of form
rivals the splendor of a garden of
flowers. The resemblance to blossoms
is so complete that some persons find
1t difficult to believe that the brilliant
display contains no element of plant
life, but Is wholly animal In it's or
ganization-
Among the sea animals that bloom
as II they were plants are included,
besides corals, the Sea anemOne and
the sea cucumber. 1t has been re-
marked that the birds and butterflies
OF the upper world are replaced by
fishes of curious forms and flashing
coiors which dart about among the
animal flowers.

WHEN LOOKING FOR GAS LEAK
Some Safety Rules Which May Do
Away With Necessity Of Engaging
Services of Undertaken.

Here is a set of standard instruc-
tons for persons who notice gas in
their rooms:
II the smell of gas is strong, first
ventilate the room.
Then examine the keys to the fx-
lures, stove or other appliances. One
Of them may be partly open.
If a fixture or connection is broken
be sure your windows are raised;
then go to the nearest phone and no.
tify the gas company.
After notification try to putty up
the leak or close it with any substance
that will make an effective plug.
Never look for leak with a match
or any flame, lantern or lamp.
II you find person overcome by
the gas throw up the windows, drag
the unconscious one to the open air
and then telephone q physician.
After telephoning the physician,
telephone the gas company and tell
OF the accident. Most companies now
own pulmotors. 1t is an appliance for
pumping gas out of persons lungs
and injecting pure air in its stead.
This is an invaluable aid to the
doctor.

Republican Chairman Wilcox Says
No Ground for Su0ll Action.

New York, Nov. 22.-William r.
Wilcox, chairman of the national
Republican committee, tonight issued
the following statement in reference
to Mr.. Hughes telegram to President
Wilson:
Having conferred by telephone
during the day and late this after
noon with the Republican state COM
mittee and the Republican national
committeeman in California, l am in
fromed that the official canvass OF
the vote has been so nearly complet-
ed that no change will result from
the few precincts not counted in rer
turns thus far compiled. This means
that the majority of the Wilson
electors in California ranges from
about 1900 to $500 and that this is
the final result of the canvass for
which we have been waiting. So far
as any recount is concerned, the ma
tional committee is not advised that
there are sufficient grounds to call
for such action"
