The plant for reducing kelp, erectei at San Diego, Cal., at a cost of $5,500, uuu, is to De aDanaonea oecause mi cost of harvesting and handling th< kelp is higher than the peace tim< prices obtained for the products, ac cording to Dr. W. L Noot, who has been connected with the chemical de partment of the kelp works, say* Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He says however, that the people who are burn ing kelp after drying it will continue t< produce potash, which is mixed witl mineral products from the packing v houses and-sold for fertilizer.

Among the war stories that British naval .men Teei iree to ten uuw i> uuc about a "ghost ship" whose mystery has never been solved. In 1917 a convoy of 12 ships left a British port. At dawrt on the day afte? sailing the escort commander discovered thirteen ships under his charge While the identity of the extra shir was being discussed the convoy was Suddenly attacked by German llghl - cruisers and most of the escort ?n^ nine of the merchantmen were sunk The Germ&ns then made off. * Survivors positively assert thai there were thirteen ships and that th< mysterious vessel disappeared as N strangely as she had appeared. The? are certain that the ship was not sunk t Official inquiries failed to throw anj light on the nature of the craft. 11 . *as ascertained that she could noi have been a disguised -German raid er, and her presence was "logged" bj the escort commander. Skipper Was Peeved. At a certain naval port the oi/ie: day, when a low tide and an obstinat wind made it difficult for vessels t< - tie up at the pier, a submarine wai endeavoring- to tie up. Three time ^ did the patient commander maneuve his craft in fairly close, but each tim< I the wind caught his bows and ble? the boat away. On deck stood j young sailor who had made no fewe than five attempts to heave a 1in< on to the pier, but on each occasioi v the rope fell into the watet halfwaj Once more the boat neared" the pier and the "skipper" felt sure the mai Tfould manage it thi? time;vbut. alas it hit the wall about five feet to low. V V This was too much for him, and leaning over the bridge-screen, h shouted: "Shove the bally thing ii your teeth and swim across befop you wear it otrt !w - The Reason.

West Forty-second street, New York, 2 says Scientific American. Tbe col lection comprises more than 700 spedj mens of silk manufactured by the de! scendanrs of the Huguenots who set. i tied in Spitalfields and Bethnal Green, "London. after the revocation of the . edict of Nantes in 1685. It bas lately | come into possession of the Interna! tional Buyers' club and is said to be I the most valuable of its kind in the world. * j The fabrics of the collection are as ! durable and the colors as brilliant as if - they were turned from the looms yes-} i terday. The disintegration of the silk j r fabric thaNme sometimes see? in Chi- j nese mandarin e>3ats has not taken j ! place. Induced, the old French silk t kJ workers did not develop their art from ; " the ancient Chinese, who jealously j * | guarded the secrets of their craft. | i j The silk industry was originated ih : the western world by two Persian monks who had resided in China and j j who in about 550 brought to Constan- j j tinople the eggs of the silk worm in a hollow bamboo/tube. From these; a con ten: s developed the silk industry of " Europe. \ There Is ?n elusive delicacy about' the French silks that quite defies description. Many of the French pat-; terns aro onite hd to date and are said j to be In line for any revival of styles.; This is particularly true of the tiny j ] patterns in checks, blue, red, green and ; brown in fields of white silk, all of j which are adapted to cravats. The gorgeous colors are shown in the silks - of upholsteries; the most delicate and k evanescent in those evidently intendj\ ed for women's apparel or draperies. Wonderful dyes the French weavers I used, vegetable dyes that increase in their beauty as the years go by. Gold,.. ( pure yellow, brilliant gold, is shown; t white, ivory, flesh, coral, turquoise, apr ricot, ocean preen, ashes of rose, . chartreuse, b uey n;ai?!e, geranium, J scarlet, card).. garnet and a thousand other tints that would be hard k to match today even when we have 1 . 323 shades of navy blue alone. 8 The 'strength and durability of the 1 silks in this collection, some of which are hundreds of yeajs old, suggest that with reasonable care they are proof [ against disintegration of the t ages. . There^fe not a crocked, worn or thin j sample among them. The brilliance of c j their dyes, some of whose formulas 1 i are at present lost to the world, is | j evidence tnar me worio may uever ! be forced to be completely dependent ' j upon any one nation for Its dyes and 1 that the forgotten lore in the art of i dyeing fabrics reveals the varied fu* \ ture that may be revived under the ' ; spur of necessity. . > | i One of the Last of Old-time "Reds." , i Tom-o-Wah-Teet, who remembered . the first coming of the white man to I the Klickitat valley, Washington state, has gone to the happy hunting 1 j grounds at the age of at least one j m t ! hundred and ten. He was known andj * ? liked by everyone in the region, and ~ . would tell vividly of the events' of days when white people invaded the territory of the .Yaklmas and Klicfei-? \ tats. He was present at the council I of Walla Walla plains in 1855. and t was a warrior under Kamiakin In the . Yakima Indian war that followed. He j took part in the block bouse batt^ and massacre of white settlers at the Cascades, where Lieut. Philip H. Sheridan was in command of the troops r sent from Fort Vancouver to defend e j the garrison. After the revolt was j | crushed Tom-o-Wah-Teet was always R | friendly to the whites, and his many s I services have been repaid, for since r i he became nearly blind about five e j years ago and could no longer support v j himseJf and his aged squaw by work-! a 1 ing on farms, those h^ once aided hav? P looked after his wants. i 1 ? - _ n Fewer Accidents Now, and Why. War conditions, by bringing large, j cambers of new and unsmiiea wore-; n ?rs into industry, had iij general the j ! effect of increasing considerably the j o number of industrial accidents, both: actually and relatively to the number i [ of persons engaged in certain indus- ( e tries. Information recently received j by the inspection t^iid investigation! 9 service, department of labor, Indicates, \ however, than in general the number of such accidents has now returned to approximately normal figures. In a comparatively short time before the r entrance of America into the war, the effect of workmen's compensation laws and safety work had reduced the num* j ^ ber of industrial accidents almost 50 per cent. The temporary increase due - to the influx of war workers has now vanished.?Scientific American. ^est Diamond Mine? ' A fabulous fortune awaits the man who discovers the lost diamond min? of Arkansas. There are indisputable indications that such a mine exists, according to j I a statement by Capt. Frederick C. I Packer, an English diamond mining ex- J pwt who has twice come to this countif from Kimberly, South Africa, in c search of the lost mine. Due to the peculiarity of the natural process by which diamonds were a formed in the dim ages of the past. ^ Captain Packer said, the indications ?f a diamond field mnv be found a ' V Jong distance from the field. These | 'indications have boon found in a cer- e tain section of Arkansas, but the mine jt: t* ^ has not born discovered, ir may De ; Bear the Oklahoma line, he asserts. ?
