FLOATING ISLANDS.
on. Island, Covering Two Acres.
Seen In the Gulf Stream.

Seen In the GuIt StFeA".
OF all passengers carried by ocean
currents floating islands are the most
interesting. Many of them have been
found yoyaging on the Atlantic. These
islands we're originally parts of low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress of storm or flood ant:
Aoated out to sea. The Orinoco. the
Amazon, the La Plata and other trop-
ical rivers often send forth such pieces
OF their shores. Some of the bits OF
land are of large size and carry ami
mails, insects and vegetation, even ut
times including trees. the roots OF
which serve 10 hold the land intarL.
while their branches and leaves serve
as sails for the wind. Generally me
waves break up these islands shortly
after they put to sea, but sometimes.
under favorable conditions, they travel
long distances.
The longest voyage of floating IS
land, according 10 government records,
took place in 1888. This island was
first seen off FIorida, and apparently Il
had al area of two acres. 1t bore no
trees, but it w:ls thici;Iy covered with
bushes, and in one place it was thirty
feet high above the sea level. 1t was
/, in the gulf stream, travelling slowly
and with occasional undulauons to
J show where the ground swell was
/ working beneath it. Probably 1t got
away from its river anchorage in the
spring of the year. for toward the lat
ter part of July it had reached the lat
itudc of Wilmington, Del.
No large animal life had been seen
on it, though there must have been
nIyriads of the small creeping things
which abound in the tropics. BY the
end Of Angus, II had passed Cape Cod
ana was vccring toward the Grand
banks. 1t followed the steamer lane
routes quite accurately, and several
vessels reported it. One month later
il WAS in midocean northwest of the
Azores and its voyage Vicinity was
beginning 10 tell on it. II was much
smaller and less compact. 1t was not
seen again. and probably it met de
struction In the October gales. But 1t

If. as wNs thought. it came from the
Orinoco. 1t must have covered twice
that distance.
7 1t is quite possible that floating Is
lands larger than this one. under more
favoring circumstances, might during
past ages have made the complete jour-
ney from America to Europe or Africa
and so brought about distribution OF
animal species. or course it is not alb
solutcly certain that this island went
to pieces In October. 1t might. though
this is not probable, have tioated down
into the region of Gains and seaweed.
