1t may be interesting to the general reader to
know that large raft OF logs or lumber. pro-
PEELED by it's own weight and the current, will out.
run the current. 1t is curious fact that is well
understood among river men. The philosophical
principle which explains it is that the law OF
CURRENT and that to the force Of gravity is added
the power OF the moving current.
