Floats AcrOss the B0y--TO Wh0"'
Does the Island Be
Duluth Mimi Tribune.

Duluth Mimi Tribune.
The large island near the Northern Pa
cific docks, which for years has dehed
the winds to move it materially, was
driven across the bay last Tuesday alter
noon, and now reposes in the nelghbor-
hood of the others, short distance be ow
Mr.. Hughes mill. 1t was dislodged,
not so much by the wind-as a very
moderate one was blowing at the time
as by the almost unparalleled high stage
of water that for the past few weeks has
prevailed at the head of the lake, and
consequently in the bay. 1t was lifted
out or place, as it were, and then the ac-
ton of the current and a very moderate
mind sufficed to drive it across the bay.
Incredible as it may seem to those who
have never seen the floating islands,
this last one EN- braces somewhere near
two acres; 1t is covered with a heavy
growth of tamarack, cedar, etc, some OF
the trees being eight or ten inch in di-
ameter, and from twenty-five to thirty
feet high, and, as will be seen by con-
sulting one of the city maps, was laid
out into city lots. Query: To whom
do the lots on this island now belong
The same one that owned them hereto
fore, or to the man on Minnesota point,
who owns the lots to which they are now
Joined and attached?

GERMINITION FRON SEED THO
THOUSAND YEARS OLD.


A most interesting observation, refer
ring to the power of termination in seed
when it is hundreds and even thousands
OF years old, is said to have been made by
Prof. Hendreich in Greece. In the silver
mines of Laurium, only the slags left by
the ancient Greeks are at present worked
Oh, in order to gain, after an improved
modern method, silver still left in that
