OCEAN'S GRAVEYARD.
E WONDERFUL SARGASSO SEA OF THE GREAT ATLANTIC.
I'lu
Enormom Floating Semi-island Toward Which Nenrly EreryUiIni on the Might}* Seep Drifts und Is Held as Prisoner—Its Inhabitants,
For several years past the hydrographic bureau at Washington has been trying to acquire a more intimate knowledge of the movements of the wateri of the ocean, and a great number of botlles, containing messages and securely corked, have been dropped overboard by vessels. Many of these have floated thousands of miles before they were picked np, and while some were wnshed upon native and foreign shores others have found their way into the great Sartfiisso sea.
From the courses taken by these different bottles it has been found that the ocean currents move around in a vast circle. Those which were dropped overboard 011 the American coast took a northerly course, while those 011 the European side floated toward the south. Bottles dropped overboard in the North Atlantic started toward the northeast, and those from the African or Spanish roast floated almost directly west until they reached the West India islands. The general directions of the currents were thus ascertained, showing that the waters acted upon by winds and currents circulated round and round like a pool.
In all pools floating objects are quickly cast outside of the revolving currents, or they are carried with them in their circular route for some time until they are washed nearer the center or side of the pool. The bottles that were forced outside of the currents of the ocean were cast upon the shores of some country, but those which were worked toward the center eventually found their way in the calm waters of the Sargasso sea. Here they remain peacefully until picked up by some vessel, or until some storm casts them back into the great pool.
Vessels very rarely visit the great sea in the middle of the ocean, but occasionally they are driven there by storms or adverse winds. Strange sights meet the gaze of the sailors at such times. Wonderful stories—partly true and partly false—have been told by sailors returning from a forced trip to the Sargasso sea. The surface of the sea is covered with floating wrecks, spars, sea weed, boxes,, fruits and a thousand other innumerable articles. It is the great re pository or storehouse of the ocean, and all things which do not sink to the bot torn or are not washed upon the shores are carried to this center of the sea. When one considers the vast number of wrecks on the ocean and the quantity of floating material that Is thrown overboard, a faint idea of the wreckage in the Sargasso sea
.cry. -.y
be conceived.
Derelicts or abandoned vessels fre quently disappear in mysterious ways, and no accounts are given of them for years by passing vessels. Then suddenly, years later, they appear again in some well traveled route to the astonishment of all. The wrecks are covered with mould and green slime, showing the long, lonesome voyage which they have passed through. It is generally supposed that such derelicts have been swept into the center of the pool and remained in the Sargasso sea until finally cast out by some unusually violent storm.
The life in this sea is interesting. Solitary and alone the acres of waters, covered with the debris, stretch out as the vast graveyard of the ocean, seldom being visited by vessels or human beings. Far from all trading routes of vessels, the sight of a sail or steamship is something unusual. The fishes of the sea form the chief life of those watery solitudes. Attracted by the vast quantities of wreckage floating in the sea, and also by the gulfweed on which many of them live, they swarm around in great numbers. The smaller fishes live in the intricate avenues formed by the seaweed, and the more ferocious denizens of the deep come hither to feed upon the quantities of small fish. In this way the submarine life of the Sargasso sea is made interesting and lively.
The only life overhead is that made by a few sea birds, which occasionally reach the solitudes of this midocean cemetery. A few of the long flyers of the air penetrate to the very middle of the ocean, but it is very rarely that this occurs. Some have been known to follow vessels across the ocean, keeping at a respectful distance from the stern. Other birds have been swept out to sea by storms, and have finally sought refuge in the Sargasso sea. Still others, taking refuge on some derelict, have been gradually carried to the same midocean scene.
There is sufficient food floating on the surface or to be obtained from the fishes which live among the forests of seaweed to support a large colony of birds. It is surmised that many of those found in the sea have inhabited those regions for years, partly from choice and partly from necessity. Birds swept out there by storms would not care to venture the long return trip to land, and finding an abundance of food and wrecks on which to rest and rear their young they might easily become contented with their strange lot. Just how far the strong winged sea birds can fly without resting is all conjectural, but it is doubtful if many of tlif.ui would undertake such a long journey seaward with no better prospects ahead than dreary wastes of water.—Detroit Free Press.
Welcome Rain.
The author of "Round the Compass in Australia" had put up for the night with the manager of a stock farm. It was a time of drought, and the evening passed amid stories of frightful suffering and Vsses. The manager thought it would be hardly possible to hold out a week longer. "Shady Jack's well is done," he said, "and the Frenchman's tank is empty.'' His wife tried to encourage him. "Hope for the best," she said. "My oath!" answered the manager, "but the best things never come off "Yes, Dick," responded his wife, "but the worst things never come off."
Night after night this man had walked the room, alternating between prayers and curses, as each dy's record was another thousand sheep uead, another empty well, until at last he had come to this grim courage of despair. "I shouldn't care so much," he said to the traveler, "but then my,.wife, my girls in there!"
He drew his sleeves across his eyes and bowed •his head on the table. For ten minutes he sat there
4'
Then the
visitor saw him raise his head, start, spring to his feet and listen with strained attention. What was that? Something pinged on the corrugated roof overhead. "Rain, rain, rain!" he shouted as ho rushed outside and fell 011 his knees with his hands stretched out toward the clouded sky. "Thank God! Thank God! Wife! Girls! Mary! liain!"
Even so. The flood gates of the sky were opened, and before morning the visitor was helping to put up a dyke on one side of the house. The march of destruction was staid.
Hunting Zebras.
After crossing the usual heated yellow plains, looking for all the world like an expanse of overparched hayfields and dotted here and there with droves of springbok, we outspanned two and so rode back again across the hot, weary plain for camp. We had not long quitted the forest before we sighted a good troop of Burcliell's zebra, feeding quietly. We spread out in line and rode up to them.
The troop, which consisted mostly of mares witi a yearling foal or two, was guarded by an old stallion, who stood sentinel nearest to us with his head up. Presently, turning half round, he gave some sort of signal and the rest of the band galloped briskly off, curveting and capering as they ran. After moving a few hundred yards the troop suddenly wheeled round in line to have a good look at us again.
These tactics Of the zebras were displayed in a retreat of some miles, the old stallion always covering the rear, until the troop, outflanked by Dove, shot off to the right and my chance came. I galloped hard to intercept them, and as they stood for a minute on seeing me in the line of flight, got a steady shot at 200 yards. The bullet clapped as if on a barn door, and as the troop continued their flight I saw one zebra turn away alone. Presently she stood again, was soon within sixty yards, and with another bullet finished her. She proved to be a fine mare in beautiful coat, and her head and skin now decorate a room at home.—Longman's Magazine.
A Story of Millionaire tick.
James Lick, of San Francisco, was a"h unlovable millionaire, of whom a curious story is told. When a poor youth in Pennsylvania he was rejected by Jrhe daughter of a wealthy miller on account of his poverty. He vowed at that time that he would some day build a mill that would far surpass that of his sweetheart's father. Many years later he kept his vow and constructed at San Jose a mill of highly polished California wood valued at $200,000. During his lifetime Mr. Lick had few friends and apparently cared for none. He lived plainly aud was seen very little in pu1^lic. The larger part of his fortune was left to charities and public institutions, one notable bequest being the sum of $G0,000 for the erection of a statue to Key, the author of the "Star Spangled Banner."
While many institutions profited by Mr. Lick's posthumous gifts, his most famous achievement was the establish ment of the Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton, under the management of the University of California. Mr. Lick's body was placed in 1887 under the base of the pier sustaining the great telescope —New York World.
The Value of Thought.
It is hardly necessary to say that all men need to "swing" the moral compass from time to time and to take their bearings in the sea of life. The advice is as true as it is conventional. Upon the use of thinking for such purposes we shall not, then, dwell. Wemay, however, point out, as a means of strength ening and invigorating the mind in a secular and worldly sense, the habit of thinking is of the greatest possible value.
The minds of those who dread thinking, as if it were a penance, become like the bodies of those fed solely 011 spoon meat—soft and unable to stand the slightest strain. Reading, as one ordinarily reads, is like swallowing pap thinking, like eating solid food. The man who trains his mental powers by meditation and by following outlines of thought obtains an intellectual instruI ment a hundred times more powerful than he who i® content never to think I seriously and co.isecutivcly.—London
