USEFUL ALGAE — CHASE 451 



Ever drifting, drifting, drifting. 



On the shifting 

 Currents of the restless main. 

 Till in sheltered caves and reaches 



of sandy beaches, 

 All have found repose again. 



Indeed the seaweeds are not finding repose in this generation, for 

 day by day the scientists and industrial workers are developing new 

 uses for them in every walk of life.
