Seaweed Is Used as Food
Also for Healing Wounds

Many of the edible Seaweeds con.
tain valuable properties such as TO-
dine, iron and other useful, curative
marine salts. From the time OF
Pliny EDWARDS they have been ex-
tolled for their nourishing and heal
ing powers, according to an author
ity in London Answers Magazine.
On the west coast of Ireland a
Seaweed called dillisk, after being
chopped up fine, forms the basis of
a stew made with shellfsh, milk,
potatoes and oatmeal.
Lord Bacon remarked of the roots
of the sea holly that if added to
Malmsey wine in which the yolks of
eggs had been beaten, "such drinke
will strengthen the back" Candy
was also made from this plant in
the Seventeenth century by Robert
Burton, an apothecary of Colches-
ter.
Stoke IS a popular seaweed in
South Wales, large quantities being
consumed in the form of laverbread.
1t also possesses remarkable heal
ing powers when applied over an
open sore or cut.
Holiday-makers on most of our
coasts are familiar with bladder
wrack, the coarse seaweed which
filters the beaches after a heavy
gale. The bladders with which the
plant is studded are full of a glu-
tinous substance much used as an
external embrocation after being
STEPPED in spirit.

Rock of Gibraltar Has
Covering of Shrubberv

The Rock of Gibraltar is nearly
three miles long, mile wide and
1,400 feet high. A narrow isthmus
connects it with the Spanish main
land. On top of the height of Gil
braltar stands a tower, called
O'Hara Folly, because of the belief
OF the Irish officer who built it that
from the top he could look far over
the horizon and observe the Spanish
fleet in the harbor of Cadiz.
Though Cadiz is too far away to
see, the views from O'Hara's tower
are among the grandest in the
world, overlooking Europe and AZ
RIGA, and embracing two seas dot
ted with ships from every nation on
the earth.
The general idea Of Gibraltar is
that it stands at the line where the
Mediterranean sea meets the Allan
tic ocean. Instead it is 20 miles
: or more inland from the Atlantic,
being well inside the strait.
Gibraltar gets it's name from "Gi-
BEL" rock, and "Taric," the first
Moorish conqueror, who took pos.
session in I'll. It had an adventur.
Gus career of sieges for about zoe
years, and then was regained by
Spain in 1862.
Some years later the Moors
gained temporary possession, but
Queen Isabella, who reigned at the
time, would not admit defeat and
took her seat outside the fortress,
vowing she would not leave until
the Spanish flag again should float
over the citadel. AS she persisted
in remaining at her post, and as
the Moorish general was a gallant
gentleman, he ordered the Spanish
flag raised for a short time, thus
releasing the queen from her pledge.
Later, however, the Spaniards re-
gained possession.
Sir George Brooke, English ad.
miral, won Gibraltar from Spain in
17O4, taking in three days what
Spain had fought three centuries to
gain.
Although from a distance the
Rock stands out grim and bare, a
closer approach shows it to be COW
cred with luxuriant vines and shrub
berry, as though nature tried to be-
lie the Rocks warlike reputation.

The Moons CraterS

Copernicus crater is Sc miles
across. Since Calico Galilei turned
the first telescope on the moon in
1910, astronomers have counted
$4,000 such craters. Some believe
them extinct volcanoes. Others
think they are the result of meteors
striking the moon. The moon ro-
tates, but as the same side is al
ways toward the earth, about two
fifths of the moons surface has new
er been seen by earthly astrono-
mers. The visible part shows no life.
