Plants That Protect
Coasts From the Sea

In the struggle to defend our coasts
from sea encroachments, seaside au-
thorities have no better allies than the
hardy tamarisk and shrubby sea bite.
These useful plants are as effective in
protecting the lonely stretches of our
shores as stout sea walls and far-fiung
groynes, says writer in London Tit
Bits. Take, for example, Shoreham,
on the Sussex coast. This town was
seriously affected by the incoming
tides until it was found that the loose
single that fringes the sea could be
bound into resisting mass by the ex-
tensive planting of tamarisk, a hardy
little plant whose only real enemy is
severe frost.
On the Norfolk coast the same
method is adopted, but there the shift
ing shingle is bound with shrubby sea
bite, which grows waist high and COW
ers large areas of the coast The more
this plant is ill-treated the stouter it
dourishes. Occasionally violent storm
will result in the shrubs being COM
pletely embedded in fresh single
thrown up by the waves. This, in
reality, is an advantage, as the plant
puts forth new shoots that bind the
fresh stones, still further strengthen

under Bonaparte and the Austrians

head of his grenadiers, bayoneted the
cannoneers at their guns and drove the
defeated Austrians into the mountains
of the Tyrol. AS result of this VIC
tory, Milan capitulated to BOnaparte a
few days later. This battle is frequent
