Atlantic ocean lying Off the American
coast about the latitude of Florida
It is composed of floating masses Of
brown senweed. characterized by
numerous small berry-like bladders
This dense gulf weed (Sargassum bac

an the American coast, Is torn away
by the waves and washed by the cur
rents round the North Atlantic ocean
into the comparatively still waters
where It floats in accumulated masses
The older masses Of weed slowly lose
their power to float and then sink and
perish. Columbus was becamed In
the Sargasso sea, and this made his
men despair Of ever reaching land
For long time this sea had an un
envlable reputation, us 1t was thought
that the slip which was forced into
It was doomed Recent scientific ex
petitions have demonstrated that
ships need have little fear of the
masses of weed.

Sharpness Of Sharks
Teeth Accounted Fo,

The proverbial sharpness of n SER
penis tooth is declared to be wrong ;
1t should have been sharks tooth.
Not only is the sharks asserted tG
be the sharpest tooth In the world,
it appears also to he both the sharp
est and the hardest Of all animal sub
stances.
One can even use the cutting sur
face of sharks tooth. says 0. w.
Barrett of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture of Porto Rico, to scratch glass
as GLACIERS scratch 1t with diamond.
Sharks teeth are now collected,
says Mr.. Barrett in describing In the
Scientific Monthly of New York city,
the growing commercial Importance of
the sharkfishing industry, and are
used for watch fobs and other jewelry,
for which purpose their extreme hard
ness is declared to make them espe
cially suitable.
This hardness is due. the Porto
Rican expert reports, to the fact that
shark teeth are unique in the world
in being composed of almost pure en-
amel, without the softer inner por-
tons, which make human teeth for
example, so subject to decay.
In many ancient rocks of the earth
biologists find millions of scattered
teeth from ancient representatives of
the shark family.
Even millions of years ago sharks
evidently had such hard and indie
structible teeth that even when all
other homes and body partly decayed
the teeth lasted and were preserved
in the rocks.

she did not notice it as their houses
are so warmly built and people are
ready for bad weather. On her
way back she met Mrs. Edge
on the train and extolled the Won
ders of Vashon so that the lady
came ON to our Island with her,
and, finding it as represented, left
her small daughter, Barbara, with
Mrs. Hudspeth to attend Colmu-
bia school.
