OCEAN DRIFT.
Like Smaller Bodies of Water 1t IL
Uncertain and Moves Here
and There,

Siberian rivers wash down the. tim
Der which floods have uprooted from
their banks. Carried out into the At
lantic ocean, this timber Is drifted
southwark along the east coast of
Greenland. AS it approaches Cape
Farewell it is caught why u branch of
the Gulf stream flowing northwest and
stranded on the west coast of that
ice-bound region. It is treasure trove
to the Eskimo, for it is the only wood
to be found in his treeless land. Thus
the Eskimo sends no fleet of steamers
to fetch his timber from afar: the
ocean lands it on his shoresand charges
him no freight. BY Il united system Of
river and ocean currents he obtains
the growth of temperate lands. And
the ocean does yet more for the Green
lander. The seal is to the Greenland
er what the reindeer is to the Laplander
or the palm tree to the inhabitants Of
the tropics. And 1T is on the drifting
Ice foes that the seal comes to his
shores and supplies him with most of
the necessarics of life. So also the
kindly ocean lends a rich load of drift
wood .on the bleak shores of Nova
Zembla, says Gentlemam's Magazine.
In certain parts of Spitzbergen,
again, the beach is covered with cnor-
nous masses of driftwood Searching
among these, one of the explorers in
Nordenskiold's party found n we'll
preserved seed of a; West Indian plant
(Entada gigalobium). Seams of coal
and impressions of leaves have also
been found in the same locality. In the
far future these masses of driftwood
may also become coal.

DREYFUS IS GUILTY.
Ten Years Imprisonment---The
Judges Stood S to =.

A special from Rennes, dated at $50
p. m, Sept. 8, says: The court was out
nearly two hours and brought in a yer.
dict of guilty. The crowd inside the
court room was kept quiet, but outside
the building the verdict was received
with cheers for the army.
Extraordinary precautions have beer
taken to prevent disturbance when
the judges announced their verdict
Everyone entering the court room was
examined for concealed weapons, and
many were excluded altogether.
1t is quite possible that Dreyfus will
not have to serve long term in prison
as the French law provides that a per
son who has been deported serves each
year sentence equivalent to two years
of ordinary confinement. Dreyfus hav
ing served almost five years on Devils
island will therefore actually count al
most ten years of Imprisonment and he
will probably be liberated in a few
months.
Dreyfus will appeal to higher mill
tary court, and if not successful, ther
again to the court of cessation.

SHINES HIS SHOES soLEs.
The Peculiar Notion of n Bootblack's
Customer and the Theory
of 1t.

'There goes man that got his mon
ey's WORTH" exclaimed the tar>faced
bootblack as he bit his nickel before
putting it in his pocket, according to
tho Kansas City Star. you needn't
tell me that man amt vain, either,
cause I'll have to pass it back to you.
Funny thing about him!"
The bootblack folded up his rags and
seated himself on his stand. The nran
he spoke of was one OF those individuals
with iron-gray hair and black, we'll
brushed clothing-an eccentric-appear-
ing man, and eccentric, indeed, If the
bootblaclS's story is true.
THAT man gets his shoes shined on
the bottom" said young ebony, sadly.
what do you think of that? He ain't
satisfied to see hisself in the tops of
his shoes, but he wants the bottoms the
same way. Course, we can do it all
right, specially under the instcps, but
it goes kind O. funny"
What do you suppose he does it
for?" asked a man on the next box.
"'Cause he's proud" came the an
swer, "and cause he's lazy and don't
do nothing but sit around all day with
his feet in q window. He's IL boa1der in
a hotel, and he amt got no business
that can tell. All the timehe's sitting
in q chair with his feet on window sill,
and of course everybody that goes by
sees his feet. I s'pose it's just a habit,
sitting with his feet up, and in order
to be on the square he has just the bot
toms ,shined SOS the people that sees
the shoes instead of his collar will know
he's neat.
"Any how" he added, after pause
Il guess we can't kick on d little extru
| work on him. He has his shoes shined
twice and three times day, when they
don't need it only on the bottom, so
| guess we get even."
