The Sargasso Sea.
From the Kansas City Times.


The Sargasso Sea is a large, loosely
defined area in the Atlantic Ocean be-
tween the West Indian Islands and
the Western Coast of Africa. 1t lies
to the south of the transatlantic
passenger lanes of travel and is a
place little visited. 1t is presumed TO
be region of comparative calm, the
surface of which is covered with sea-
weed and debris of wrecks. The
wheeling Gulf stream along its west
ern and northern edge and the
equatorial current along the south
eastern border are responsible for the
formation of this curious place of
calm. Many fantastic stories cling to
the Sargasso Sea; il has long been
believed that derelicts drifting into
its clutches are never released; that
ships from the time of the ancient
Phoenicians may be found even to-
day held fast in the seaweed. But
these are idle tales. Scientists have
long neglected the Sargasso Sea, but
such neglect is to be made up for in
the scientific expedition which the
naturalist and explorer William
Beebe Will direct this summer in in
vestigation of this region of the At
lantic.

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Wheat prices

ton of exports from south of the

any improvement since the recent

setback to below yesterdays finish,
but then by upturns higher than be
fore, May touching 1.48h and July

Corn and oats rose with wheat, and
as result of announcement that the
Argentine corn crop was officially eS-
timated at 80 per cent less than last
years total. After opening unchang-
ed to 212 higher, May 104 to 104A
the corn market reacted sharply and
