The submarine seaweed forests which grow around the Falkland Islands havea multitude of grace- ful patterns delicately tinted in shades of pink and red. The larg- est of these plants is Leesonla. named for the botanist. lesson. Many of these sea plants are 10 to 15 feet high with a trunk as thick as a. man's body. 1 Cali- fornia. water giant Kclps r ach the amazing height of 150 feet, their slender stems are supported by large air bladders.

A nautical bird rarely seen by seamen ,ls called St. Mother Carey's Chicken. It is oceanic in its habits, and when it seeks the shelter of sea locks the weather in the Atlantic is usually stormy.

The belief is still widely held that life comes with the flood-tide, which reminds us that life is not alone in its tides. Throughout nature we find ebb and flow. The moon and the wind and the tides are closely linked. There's an old saying that when the new moon falls on a Saturday night, it will go mad seven times. The infer- ence, of course, is that a period of bad storms will follow it.

The period immediately after a

full moon is known as "the breaking of the light", and old timers say that a change of

weather will come with the first ebbing of the moonlight. They also tell us that the proper time to plant is when the moon is wax- ing. Corn planted at the waning of the heavenly body will have

to be done at that time. Now- adays farmers pay little heed to such warnings, yet there may be an ounce of logic in these old

I sayings.

waves possessed occult powers, that sickness could not travel out to sea farther than the ninth wave. It was an old custom that all ob- jects floating on the surface of the sea. beyond the ninth wave was the property of the finder.

You may not believe it, but the tides of oceans are not all alike. There are the greater tides--the springsAw'hlch come and go every 14 days. and there are those that come at the full moon and at the new moon. The highest of the spring tides is usually the night after the new, or full moon. And lstrange but true. these are suc- Iceeded by an equal period of low ytides-the neaps-when the ocean is calmer and the ebb and flow are less lmpetunus and strong. u I

How do the. birds hnd their way from the balmy South to the North when Spring opens her doors? These feathered travellers have no compass, yet they man- age this a.ma7.ing flight unerring- iya borne upon an invisible aerial Ii 2. More secret than the voyaging birds are the migration of the hnny tribes. Perhaps the most remarkable of these secret journ- eys is that of our common fresh- water ecl. Without light or com- pass, the eel will leave the place of its birth to begin its long journey to mid-Atlantic where it lays in eggs. We know that they are carried along on the tides and currents of the ocean, but there our knowledge ends. Nothing more amazing can be imagined.

Church Union Negotiations Are Discussed

HAMILTON, Sept. 26 - (OP) -- Reoommendations made in a N- port of negotla" United church of Oausda and the Church of England in Canada were adopted Friday by the gen- eral council.

The report was presented by Rev. Gordon A. 'sisco, secretary- general of the United Church and a. leader in the movement for organic union of the two church- I

The recommendations were:

1. To continue to welcome An- (Means to communion in the Unit- ed Church.

2. To exchange pulplts between ministers of the two communlone.

3. To confer and co-operate with the Anglican Church in lo- cating and establishing churches in new housing areas and new in- dustrlal and mining communities. They would also co-operate in establishing community churches, possibly on the basis of double af- fliiation.

4. To hold discussions at the local level among both clergymen and laity on co-operation and on the question of union.

Rev. J. S. Leith of Regina said the recommendations are "all very well down on paper" but that he invited an Anglican clergyman to preach at his church and the An- glican told him "he'd, be delighted but of course you realize I can't invite you back."

Dr. Siscoe said there are 28 An- glican dioceses throughout Canada and that each diocese has its own set. of canon laws. He said the general council was going on re- cord as willing to participate in this co-operation between the two odies.

mighty strap-shaped leaves.

Today's housewives, especially those who live in cities, are tor- mented with cockroaches and bed bugs, but when amphibians were the lords of creation, giant cock- roaches abounded and a dragonfly had a. wing span of 30 inches.

Once upon 9. time flowers were dependent upon the wind for their poiination. By the middle of the chalk age, however, real bees were flitting from flower to flow- er attracted by the perfume. Cer- tain species of flowers developed longer floral tubes and strange and beautiful shapes. As the floral tubes outstripped the bees, moths and butterflies took over the job of pollination, believe it or not!

The pink is poliinated wholly by butterflies attracted by its bril- liant hue and delicious perfume, to sip the nectar hidden in the depths of the deep tubular calyx. The incidental transfer of pollen from one blossom to another en- sures the setting seed. Red clover is pollinated by bees and sets seed freely when they are abund- ant. Field mice play havoc with becs' nests and if it were not for cats and owls, few good crops of clover could be raised.

The ancient Egyptians are cred- ited with inventing and develop- ing the art of embalming to a highly advanced degree. Believing that the soul would return to the -body. it was thus imperative that the body be preserved if the own- or were to live forever with the gods.

"But strychnine's quicker and more certain. It's only draw- back is that it's the most bitter substance known: one part in 30.- 000 parts of water can. be tested." 1-le frowned over this statement, as if he himself found it doubtful. Jim was only halt-listening. His muscles had tensed! The line of his law. if Hamilton had bothered to notice it, was dangerous. Few of his friends would have recog- nized the good-humoured, young accountant who xnokecl pipe and played a tolerable of golf . . . ' Jim was telling himself that he was fed up. The big man was deliberately playing cat and mouse with them, indulging in sadistic lust. It was extremely odd behav- iour, on the part of a detective. He knew that a policeman's train- ing was all against talkativeness . . . But he was thinking about other things, still stronger. Whitcombe. for example. In the office that afternoon, when Jim had. asked Whitcombe about the Dormer case. he had shown an astonishing knowledge .of it. The Dormer case was three years old, yet Whitcombe had seemed to have all the facts at his fingertips. He even claimed to know someone who'd been mixed up in it'- a man called corder. And Whitcombe had apparently known all about alrychnlne. He'd described -what it looked like. How many people, Jim wondered, apart from doctors and chemists, know that? it was curious knowledge for a middle-aged chartered ac-

"I don't think he can myself," replied Farmer Brown's Boy, "but if he tries to do that he will prove that he knows how it can be done,

he will be meeting the test."

Mother Brown looked out the window over to the old wall. "He has found those peanuts on the stonewall," said she. "He is eating one of them this' minute."

"Then we won't have to wait long to see how well he will meet the test. Here comes the rascal this very minute," said Farmer Brown's Boy. -

over there in the comer. Why! "Because I'm handling this my own way." Hamilton growled. His big, scarred face looked ugly. "I've got you, and. your pretty little lady prisoner here, Just where I want you, and you know it." He began to edge towards Jim, Flex- ing the muscles of his gorilla-like arms. His voice was s. snarl of menace, and there were little flecks of hate in the gray eyes. "So you don't think I'm a detec-

tive, eh?" "You're right." Jim was com- posed. His eyes never left the

It worked. The man stared at him, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Then with a hoarse bellow. he rushed forward.

"Why. you - "

Jim was waiting for the blow. He sidestepped. Then he hit Ham- ilton on the jaw - hard. The man staggered. Jim followed him and hit him twice more. J-lamilton went down with a thud. And stay- ed down.

"Jim!" Mary's voice was horri- fied. "You shouldn't have done that. It -it's no good." Her voice shook. "We've got to face it soon-

er or later -" "They'll have to catch. us first, though." Jim was examining the

ly stirring in Jim's mind. Smith. the little man who was now dead.l had mentioned "a visitor" beingl present at the cottage on the: night Mary's aunt died -a man.1 That was the first time such a' visitor had been mentioned. Frank hadn't spoken of a man other than Smith, being at the cottage. Neither had Whitcombe. who read all the reports of the case. For that matter, neither had Mary.' In Jim's mind, a cloudy picture had begun to form: the outline, without features as yet. of a fig- ure who had not yet appeared openly in the drama .. the real murderer. ,

Desperately he wanted time to think this all out. But they were- n't going to be given any time. Hamilton would no doubt see to that; Hamilton, who had found the poison bottle hidden in the room, or who claimed to have found it. He could, of course, have whipped it out of his own pocket when he was bent over the radio. Hamilton was now regarding them with an open, triumphant sneer.

"book here," said Jim suddenly. "Isn't it about time you showed us your credentials?"

Hamilton was still holding the little bottle. fascinated by its dead- ly contents. Jim's tone wrenched him from his fantasy. The look of surprise on his face was almost cornlcal.

"My what?"

Jim planted his foot lirmly on the carpet and put his hands in his pockets.
