The dumage done to seaweed and other forms of marine vegetation is about the!last, thing that would occur to anybody who had not made a study of the subject as & possible result of u volcanie eruption. Kelp i8 one of the most useful forms uf. seaweed. It used to be found in abundance off various -parts of the coast of Alaska, but for several years pust the crop has been practically de- stroyed by -volcanic eruptions which huve occutred in that viclnity. This has 'been a source of great. loss to the natives of Alaska, who .have made use of kelp in a variety of ways As it grows only in shallow water, it bus proved a valuable aid to naviga- tion in waters where there are prac: - tically no alds except such as pature has provided. Then, too, the natives used it to fertilize thelr gardens. There are various theories as to just how the action of volcanoes interrupts or entirely stops the growth of kelp. One is that the hot blasts and poison: ous gases which pour out of the craters during eruptions are fatal to plant life, Another more probable explanation of the damage done to kelp is that it is due to the enormous masses of pum- ice from the volcanoes. This pumice, it is thought, covers the rocks so that the kelp and other ma. rine plants find it impdssible to cling to them, or it may be that it is the. grinding effect produced on .this great mass of rough stone by the constant movement of the tides and waves which crushes out the water's vege- table life.—New York American. BRAZIL NUT TREES. They Do Not Bear Fruit Until They Are Fifty Years Old. In this country Brazil nuts are al- most as well known as walnuts, yet few know the manner of their growth and the steps taken in their collection and marketing. The tree itself 18 the most majestic in the valley of the Ama- zon, where it attains a height ranging from fifty to a hundred feet. Gener- ally several hundred trees are found in a group, The control of the best pro- ducing districts long ago passed to pri vate individuals; hence the natives are not free to pick and sell the nuts at will. P The Brazil nut tree does not begin to bear fruit until it attains the age of fifty years or thereabouts and contin ues to produce crops intermittently al most forever. At least trees known to be hundreds of years old have pro duced crops. The pods in which the nuts are contained drop in November and December. These pods are very hard and weigh several pounds, consequently the trees are studiously avolded during the pe riod in which the pods are dropping since it would be extremely hazardous for the gatherers to expose themselves to the danger of having the pods fall on them from such a great height EHach pod is at least seven inches in diameter and is full of nuts. The pod 18 usually opened with a machete.—Ar- gonaut, . = e . Ruskin's Roast Beef. During a visit to Matlock in 1871 Ruskin was selzed with an attack of internal inflammation, which nearly carried him off. Mrs, Arthur Severn. who nursed him, records that at the crisis of this illness “he hungered, to our horror, for a slice of cold roast beef. It was late at night, there was none in the hotel, and Albert Goodwin went off to get some anywhere he could. " At last at an eating house in the town he discovered some and came back trinumphant with it wrapped in paper. Mr. Ruskin enjoyed his late supper thoroughly. Though we anx lously waited till morning for a result, it bad done no harm, and to every- body’s surprise he recovered.”—London Spectator. An Observant Boy. “1 wish you boys would be more ob servant,” sald a young schoolmaster. “When | was a boy I was always on the lookout, and what 1 did not see was not worth seeing. 1 was famous for that. 1 remember once 1 was told by a man I met that I was all eyes. What do you suppose he meaat by that?" “Probably he was referring to your conversation,” replied one boy, and the other boys looked out of the window as they tried to keep their faces sober. This shows that ordinary boys have eyes and ears both.—Philippine Educa- tlon. . His Counterthrust. The Other Side’s Counsel (flercely)—1 suppose you were brought up to tell the truth?

Never betray any irritation or disappoint- ment or any other weakness. Never slop over, never give yourself away, never make yourself ridiculous—what American would not admit that these are foremost among the rules by which he would like to regulate his conduct? It can be hardly denied that this ha- bitual ‘self mastery, this habitual con- trol over one's emotions, is one of the chief reasons why so much of Amerl- can life 18 8o uninteresting and monot- onous. It reduces the number of op- portunities' for intellectual friction; it suppresses the manifestation of strong individuality; often it impoverishes the inner life itself. But, on the other hand, it has given to the American that sureness of motive, that healthi- ness of appetite, that boyish frolic- someness, that purity of sex instincts, the quickness and litheness of man- ners, which distinguish him from most Buropeans.””'It has given to him all those qualities which insure success and make their possessor a welcome member of any kind of soclety.—At- Importance cannot be reduced to a matter of size. The success of a plece of work may depend on a tiny detail. Such is the case in regard to that mar- vel of construction, the violin. Rev. H. R. Hawels in his My Musical Life” tells of the care and labor expended on two little pieces of wood which go to make up the perfect whole. The sound bar is a strip of pine wood running obliquely under the left foot of the bridge. A slight mistake in its posi- tion, looseness or inequality or rough- ness of finish will produce that hollow, teeth on edge growl called “wolf.” It takes great cunning and a life of prac- 1 tical study to know how long and how thick the sound bar must be and exact- Iy where to place it in each instrument. The sound post is a little pine prop, like a short bit of cedar pencil. It is the soul of the violin, and through it pour all vibrations. Days and weeks are spent in adjusting the tiny sound post. Its position exhausts the patience of the maker and makes the joy or the misery of the player. WOMEN’S PEACE CONGRESS CONVENES (Continuea irom Page 1.) is running so high, it might result in unseemly discussion. But we believe that by taking this precautionary measure friction will be avoided.” A statement issued by the British committee, which has already ap- proved in principle the program out- lined by the women of Holland, al- though advocating some changes in minor points, says: More Difficult for Men. “We women cannot disregard the appeal so often expressed in letters from French, German and English soldiers who from the battlefield have called upon us to save ecivilization; but more mdving and more terrible is the silent’appeal from the daily growing ceiiéteries, trom the devast- ed villages and ruined homes, the or- phans, the oiitraged and the starv- ing. “It is much more difficult for men to meet in conference; they are in the silent armies. But women, as non-combatants, have this right, and as guardians’ of the race they have the duty. Experience has shown that women of enemy nations can meet in council and discuss matters in a reasonable and helpful way. A preliminary meeting of British, Ger- man, Belgian and Dutch women has already been:.held. The time seemed ripe for this international meeting. It can hardly fail to soften animosi- ties and allay the hatred which is a growing evil and menace for the fn- ture. “Women whose hearts have been drawn together by earnest considera- tion of common problems and com- mon suffering will return to their countries to influence public opinion to a gentler attitude. By thus meet- ing together on neutral ground and, for the moment, removed from nation- al passions, a fairer view of current events becomes possible, and women of_all nationalities can join in pre- paring the way for a better under- standing and .a permanent peace. Moreover, it women's voice is to be heard in the treaty of peace, the way must be prepared now.” Mrs. Fawcett Absent. Not all the women prominent In the British feminist movement have lent their support to the congress. Among those absent today is Mrs. Millicent C. Fawcett, leader of the constitutional suffragists, who not only refused to become a delegate, 'but issued a vigorous protest; on pat- riotic grounds, against the partici- pation of other English women. The militant suffragists, however, are represented by Mrs. Pethick Law- rence and Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, while among the other English dele- gates are: Miss Violet Vanbrugh, the actress; Miss Olive Schreiner, the author; Miss Margaret Ashton, sis- ter of Viscount Bryce, former Brit- ish ambassador to the United States; Mrs. George Cadbury, the Hon. Mrs. of Hageby. 2 The suggested resolutions contain the following demands: % That the belligerent countries pub- licly define the terms upon which they are willing to make peace, and for ‘this purpose immediately call a truce. (The British delegates ob- Ject to the word “immediately.”) That all futuré international dis- putes shall be referred to arbitration or conciliation, and that the Powers agree to bring pressure upon any country resorting to arms without ‘| woen be' represénted equally with having thus referred its case. That foreign politics shall be sub- Ject to demoeratic control, and that men in such.control, by being given the parliamentary franchise in all countries. i i The resolutions also urge the nec- essity of “‘so directing the education of children that their thoughts and desires may be turned toward the maintenance of peace and that they be given a normal education so as to enable them in any eventuality | to act upon this conviction.” . The British delegation has offered the following additional resolution: “The International Congress of ‘Women urges the governments of all the Powers to take the manufacture and control of armaments entirely out of private hands as a step toward complete and final disarmament.” KR KKK AR KIK KKK KKK KKK KKK ¥ Do you favof the appropriating of '$250 for ffirthering t.he canse and work of the Northern Minnesota Development Associa- tion for 1915, by Beltrami County?
