In "The Log of tho Snnrk, by Chnr

sen description:
"The sea Is not a lovable monster.
And monster it is. It is beautiful, tho
sea, always beautiful in ono way or
another, but it is cruel and unmindful
of the life that is in It and upon It. It
was cruel last evening In tho lurid
low sunset that inado it glow, dully,
to the cold, mocking, rugged moonrlse
Hint made it look like death. The
waves positively beckoned when they
rose ami pitched toward our boat la
boring in tiie trough. And all the long
night It fccmod to me that 1 heard
voices through tho planking, talking,
talking, endlessly, monotonously, quer
ulously, and I couldn't mako out
whether It was the ocean calling from
the outsldo or the ship herself mutter
ing gropingly, finding herself. If the
voices uro of tho ship they will soon
cease, for sho must (hid herself. But
If they are the voices of the sea they
must be sad sirens that cry, restless,
questioning, unsatisfied quaint home

Stnrfish will grow new arms, lobsrw
now claws and lizards new tails. A
now lizard will not indeed spring from
a new tall or a new lobster from a
discarded claw, but a new starfish will
grow from a detached arm. In tho
regotablo kingdom, as a writer in
Knowledge remarks, this phenomenon
Is still moro common and uaq been put
by man to practical use. 'Although
Idcntlcnl in principle, the growing of a
plant from a cutting may not seem
so astonishing as tho growing of u
new starfish, .but growing not ono but
many plants from a leaf seems almost
as extraordinary. Among the many
plants thnt can thus bo propagated 13
the begonia, and every housewife
knows a geranium plant can bo grown
from a leaf stalk.
