Tliroo Iltiiolreil I'eel I.oiiir.
The largest murine plant and proba?
bly one of the highest plants known on
Ciis globe is a gigantic seaweed, the
f?frOocystiS, the stem of which has
been found (o grow as much ns 3UO
feet long. H was (irst discovered not
far from the Alaskan coast, but has
since been found dealing In various
parts of the Paclllc ocean along the
American and Asiatic shores. This
seaweed grows in a very curious man?
ner. Large quantities of It nre found
nl a little distance from shore ami at
depths not exceeding 300 feet. On
loamy bottoms large thickets of this
plant take root; and u stem of the
thickness of ordinary cord grows up?
ward. At its top there is a pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stein,
nnd when it reaches the surface of the
valor it often mensures six feet and
more in length, with a diameter of four
feet six Inches. Tills balloon has, of
course, an upward-tendency and keeps
the stein growing until it tloats on tho
Kin-face of the water. Prom the top of
this balloon a large tuft, of strong,
lltlck, spadeliko leaves grow out, which
originally are not more than two feet
long and which grow nnd split until
from the balloon a roselike growth of
from fifty to sixty-live feel, in dlainb*
ter covers the water. This gigantic
wood grows In such quantities that
near tho shore largo meadowllkc is?
lands are formed, which Impede navi?
gation. The natives of the Aleutian
Islands make manifold usage of this
plant, From their strong dried steins
they make ropes 2"><) feet and moro
long, while balloons of this weed fur?
nish them with large vessels after they
nre dried, the smaller ones being used
In their boats to ball out water. Tito
long lenves, after being dried, are cut
Into narrow strips nnd used for wicker
work, the making of baskets nnd simi?
lar furniture.
