l‘acts About the Sargasso Sea.
‘ W
In the center or an encircling
stream or the Atlantic Ocean is a
relatively quiet oval area. a. thou-
sand miles in diameter. situated part
way between the Bermuda. Islands
and Porto Rico. Here vast quanti-
tics of floating seaweed hnie come
to rest. accumulating through growth
and renewal iron: cddying currents
as the ages passed by.
This is the Sargasso Sea. The me-
dievel mariner peopled it with
strange monsters and related tales
of immense octopi that rose out of
its uncanny depths to drag down
with their huge tentacles unfortu-
nate vessels entangled in the weed.
Columbus was the first to cell
through this weird tract. Much to
the dismay of liis, crew. the discov-
erer’s caravels Were held there {or
about. two weeks. Sailor-3' yarns have
since transformed it into the final
resting place or derelict vessels sup-
posed to, have drifted into its mys-
terious embrace together with the
seaweed. .
The name of the sea is derived
from the so-called Sargassum. or
gult'weed, that forms the bulk of its
accumulations. Scientists call it
Sargusum baccltcrum. the “berry-
bearlng Sargnssum." It is a. beauti-
tul alga with brown stem and finely
divided branchleis covered with
slender pointed leaves varying from
olive yellow to a delicate green. and
adorned with quantifies or small.
round. hollow .berries about the size
of peas. These are filled with air
and act as floats. enabling the weed
to drift on the ocean surface, where
in the presence or sunlight in may
feed. grow. and propagate as do oth-
er plants. In its native haunts along
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean Sea it is anchored by
"holdfasta” but when tprn loose by
the waves its hollow floats keep it
at the surface and it continues to
grow luxuriantly. In the Sargasso
' See. it spreads out in such masses
that it impedes the progress or sail-
ing vessels which are so unfortunate
as ‘ to‘ become entangled there.
' Though some of the legends have
been ‘refuted by scientific investi-
gators. tho facts about this extraor-
diuary region are more wonderful
than fictionFt-om “Wit In the Sn:-

Equipment Trust
By GEORGE '1‘. HUGHES

In :1 recent article I culled atten-
tion to testimonv of slrrngth of
cquipnicut trust notes shown by the
l’aul receivership. Interest. on
these ccrtiiicutcs is being paid by
order of the court notwithstanding
the bankruptcy of the road. As a
matter of fact there have been but
two defaults 111111.111; railroad equip-
ments for many years and these UVO
defaults by roads extremely 11 9:11;.
so much so that for :1 long time

kind of financing is considered these

States Government and of gilt cdgo

so grcztt securityaus in railway
equipments. As might to expected
from their high quality the return
obtainable on these obligations is
comparatively small ranging around
5 per cent zit present. They also

the equipment trust must come due
before the equipment of which it is
secured has outlived its usefulness
otherwise the safely of the invest.-
ment would be in pcrll.
Equipment trusts are not listed

I can 't help admiring him. He says
most of the nonsense in the United
