The Architecture of the Sea
Neither the tongue nor the hand has the
power to picture it fully. '
Aristotle said: "The boldest mariners of
antiquity, startled at its appearance, durst not
cross its boundary."
Life seems to pervade it from its surface to
its farthest depths.
Portions of its"waves are covered with
forests of floating seaweed, while its depths are
often webbed, as in Florida, with sponges.
The discoverer of America said that his
ship was "seriously impeded by swimming
fucus," which exists between the Azores,
Canary and Cape Verde Islands.
Under the waters of the West Coast of
Florida the bottoms are paved with a soft coral, '
in some places rose color, in others white,
orange, old gold color, or green, and beds of
black, where at times the fish sleep; all too
fragile to be workable.
The Mediterranean still furnishes the long
rose corals that used to be so fashionable for
ladies' necklaces and cameo breastpins. There
are reefs of coral to be seen in the Red Sea.
The existence of .coral has been attributed
to volcanic1 action which the polypi build upon.
The world is very beautiful as a "great
whole," but only a few realize the great future
Florida has before it in many directions.

Of these there are hundreds, consisting of pieces for all rooms, the matching
