Customs Ideas of Ancient Nations Shown In Their Building. Almost as much can be learned about ancient tuitions from looking at what they made or built as by reading their writings and For the kind of buildings that any nation erected depended on different geog- building materials, religion and government. People in snowy Scotland, for in- stance, needed very different build- from those who lived in sunny Italy. Some countries had forests and built many wooden houses, had great quarries so made use of massive stone, and oilier countries that had stone or but had great beds of clay, like ancient Syria, built their pal- aces and temples of burned clay made into bricks. People who lived among the mountains or by the sea, as did the people of Greece and built differently from those who lived on the level plains of Asia or Africa. Some nations had many and built temples for the kind of worship that their particular re- required. Christian nations lavished their skill and money on grand cathedrals, convents and cloisters. In countries where the ruler was a despot great palaces were built by slaves, but where there was no great monarch, as in ancient Greece, there were no grand private buildings, but the finest work wan put into great public buildings for the people. Yes, if all the books and records In the world were burned we should still be able to trace the customs and ideas of ancient nations by the structures and works of art that they have Ames Mead In St. Nicholas. A Gigantic Seaweed. The of the seaweed family and the largest known species of marine algae bears the scientific name of It occasionally attains a length of feet and is kept afloat on the ocean's surface on account of being buoyed by bladder- like enlargements the stem, which arc filled with air. As the plant grows older these bladder- excrescences swell into great retort shape cylinders six to seven feet in length and between four and five feet in diameter. Where this plant grows in any considerable quantity it becomes impossible for small to pass through them on account of the density of the floating mass of vegetation. The natives of tropical islands use the bladder-like enlargements mentioned for water vessels and for storing away grain.
