A WONDERFUL SEAWEED.
Has a
Stem Sometimes Three Hnndrea
Feet Long.
One of the most extraordinary sea
weeds among the Laminariaceaj is the
Nereocystis, the stem of which occasion
ally attains a length of 300 feet, though
extremely slender, even at the top,
where it is surmounted by a huge float
ing bladder six feet or seven feet in
lccgth, that affords a favorite resting
place to the sea otter. This plant is
found on the northeast coast of
America and the opposite shores of
sia. :The filiform stem, which is
about s thick as pack-thread, sudden-
v swells above, when two feet or three
feet long, into a globose bladder, from
the top of which springs a tuft of ger
minate leaves mostly rising pn five
petioles. As the plant grows older the
stem increases enormously in length,
but only slightly in thickness. The
giobose bladder swells into a turnip-
shaped or. retort-like cyclinder, six fee.
long and four feet six Inches or more id
diameter In the widest part, the lowet
extremity gradually passing into thi
stem. The leaves, which at first were
marked with a few faint nerves, split in
the direction of the latter, cover a wide
space by their entangled mass, and at
tain a length of 30 feet or more. When
Ihe plant grows in any quantity, il
forms large floating islands, and the
surface of the sea becomes impassable
to boats. The stem, when dry. Is em
ployed by the Aleutians for fishing
lines, some of which have a length ol
40 or more fathoms. The large bladders
are used by the same people as syphons
for pumping water out of the'r boats.rr

THEIR DARING

The
Brave Crew of the Merrimack
Will be Promoted.
Washington, June 5. When the
house convenes tomorrow, a resolution
will be introduced calling on the
secretary of the navy to ascertain and
report to congress, immediately, the
names of the seven men who with
Xava! Constructor Hobson. formed the
crew of the Merrimae, just before she
was sunk in the channel at the en
trance to the harbor at Sintiago. It
is the present iiiiunton to offer a reso
lution of thank- to each one of the
eight men by name.
The fact that Cervera, under a flag of
truce, sent to Sampson his recognition
of the magnificent act of gallantry,
is an indication that in volunteering to
man the Merrimae, the eight men who
are now prisoners of war in Santiago
performed an act, the peril of which
can scarcely be appreciated at this
distance, and that there should have
been 400 eager to volunteer for duty,
demonstrates more forcibly than could
be demonserated in any other manner
that the American navy is composed
of men who can be depended on for
any sort of perilous duty on aiiy occa
sion. Every one of the Merrimac's crew is
certain to be promoted as soon as re-
eased, and it is likely that some
means will be devised whereby war
rants or commissions will be provided
for the enlisted men.
THE
REPORT
CONFIRMED.
Torpedo Boat Terror Is a Thing of
the Past.
Key West, June 6. The report that
the Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror was blown up, is confirmed.
Advices just received are convincing
ttat the Terror is a perfect wreck.
The loss of the Terror criDples the
Spani;-h fleet materially, as it was one
of the best boats of its class in the
Spanish navy. Nothing is given out

Torpedo Boat Davis Launched
at
Portland,
Portland, June 5. Exactly at the
stroke of 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the United States torpedo-boat Dav's
started down the ways at the Wolff &
Z.vickeriron works, and a few seconds
later she was floating like a swan on
the Willamette, As the last restraining
shore was knocked from beneath her
keel, the last line severed, and a quiver
of her bow told that she had cleared
for her Br&c voy-ige. Misa. Helena
Woliitiashed - a bottle ol champagne
against hr port bow, and, as the
beverage went foaming down the steel
sides the words, "I ch.ris.t8a thee the
Dayis" gave the little craft the name
to which every one hopes she will
bring additional lustre.
Fully 10,000 people, crowding the,
Madison-street bridge to the danger
point, swarming about the boat and
covering every possible point of vant
age within a radius of 1000 feet, broke
forth in a cheer as she bejan to nova,
prolonged, till loqg alter the way
gathered in the brief journey to the
river had been lost in the resisting
current.
The Davis is a torpedo-boat of the
first class. Her length is 146 feet,
with a beam or width amidships of 5
feet 2 inches. The normal draft is
five feet. Her displacement is 120
tons, and she has a coal carrying
capacity of 40 tons. The load on trial
is 20 tons. Two triple expansion en.
gines, developing 1850 horse-power,
will drive her at the rate of 22i knots
per hour, The engines are supplied
by two Tbornycroft water tube boilers
in compartments forwari and abaft of
the engine room. She has twin screws,
live feet in diameter. The shell is
built of quarter-inch steel, over a
frame of f.ngle iron ribs, about 2x2
inches. She will carry three officer?
and 18 men. Her radius of action, ie
2000 miles.
The armamen t of tne Davis will con
sist of three 1-pound rapid-fire guns,
three tubes for 18-foot torpedoes, two
modern navy rifles and 24, revolvers,
The cost of the boat was $81,546,
AN EARLY AUJOIRMENT.
Congress A boot ton-pletcd the Work of
. 'Ibis tseiisiou
Washington, June 5. It isbelieyef
by many people here that Senator
Hanna's declarati in that congress
will adjj.irn by June 23 means taht
the republicans of th seaato and
house have made a general argreement
upon the features of the war revenue
measure and that the bill's time in
conferance will coasequently be short.
Chairman Diogley, of the,. hou?e
ways and means committee, is quoted
as saying that mot.t of the provisions
of the bill inserted by tho senate
would be eliminated in the bouse
and that the bill would finally pass
substantially as it left the house in the
first place. This positive aatement
would hardly bo made by Mr. Dingley
unless be had some assurance as to
what the senate would Anally acquiesce
in when the bill is in confer- nee.
Mr. Dingley is understood, iq admit
that some of the senate amendments
will stand, but bis intimation is that
they will be of an unimportant kind.
For instance, he says Woloott's pro
vision for coinage of aeignoi-iage will
have to go, and that the house section
relative to the sale of bonds whl be
restored. It is judged that the con
cessions to the senate will lie largely
