Among Others, Sea Plant Lends Itself
Excellently to the Making
t! of "Hootch."
The aboriginal natives of British
Columbia and Alaska can always get
a suitable worm for distilling by pick
ing It out of .the sea. It is furnished
by the hollow stem of the giant kelp,
and serves excellently for the making
of "hootch" from a mixture of mo-'
lasses and graham (lour. The giant
kelp Is anchored to the rocky bottom
by a root-like holdfast, from which
springs a stem that Is sometimes 100
feet long. This stem Is hollow for the
upper half of its length, and termin
ates In a big bladder-like bulb from
which, ns It floats on the surface,
fronds 50 feet long branch out. The
plant grows from spores and Is an
annual. One variety Is called "sea
otter's cabbage," and Is very plentiful
In the region of Puget sound. Another,
commonly known as "sea pumpkin,"
flourishes nearly as far south as San
Diego bay. Bulbs of the giant kelp
are used In the Puget sound region as
bottles to hold fish oil and by fisher
men as baltliolders. The Eskimos
utilize the hollow stem as a siphon to
empty water out of their kayaks,
which, being decked over, are not
easily baled In the ordinary way. Also
from sections of the stern they make
wheels for toy wagons.
"The Exception Proves the Rule."
With the person who thinks about
the things he says, this much-used ex
pression must "hit a snag" every time
It Is used. Eor exception cannot prove
a rule. Indeed, every bona fide ex
ception weakens n rule.
It Is a change In the connotation
of saying, "Prove nil things." and so
responsible for its present mlsnse.
For In the early da 71 of the English
language "prove" meant "test," as
when St. Paul said, "Prove all things."
And so when It was said that the ex
ception "proves" the rule there was
nothing Illogical about It. Exceptions
do put a rule to test. Either they
soon 1tiate the rule or the rule Is
strong enough to bring them within
its mandate.
