MERIDIAN OF GREENWICH.
An Eng1fsh Town which II the
Headquarters of Father Time.

An Eng1fsh Town which II the
Headquarters of Father Time.
Greenwich, as an English town, is
nothing very remarkable, but as the
headquarters Of Father Time it is the
most important spot on the earth. It's
time is in every longitude of the globe,
and every land, excepting Spain, Por-
tugal and Russia, measures the hours
from its meridian. No navigator on
duty Is without Greenwich time in
gight and every town and geographi-
cal point Is known by its distance east
og west from the Greenwich obserya-
tory.
Ask the time, and the answer fs al
ways In even hours ahead or behind
Greenwich or else the exact Green
witch time. In Great Britain, Belgium
and Holland you get the Greenwich
time. One hour before Greenwich time
rules In Germany, Austria Hungary,
Denmark, Italy. Sweden, Norway and
Switzerland.
Two hours ahead of Greenwich is
adopted in Bulgaria, Roumania and
Turkey in Europe Eight hours ahead
Of Greenwich applies in the Philip
pines. Nine hours before the Green
witch time is used In Australia.
Ten hours ahead OF Greenwich is off,
c1al in Victoria, Queensland and Tas-
mania. The United States, Canada and
Mexico have adopted the fifth, seventh
and eighth hours after.

cause of such a physical change, which
is not to be explained by the stress and
strain of daily labor, because there are
not few who, in spite Of years of steady

portant cause of this change 10 to be
found in the prevalence of ailments

parro Punching Profanity.

In his book "a Day With a Tramp
and Other Days" Walter Wyckoff tells
the following story Of profanity and
burro punching in the west:
'aThe burros plainly shared the feel
ing Of relief In reaching a more passa-
bic region, and the art of burro punch
ing began consequently to disclose its
difficulties.
ssThey were most difficult to manage
at the fords. Generally they scattered
to the four winds at the first approach
to water, and when we had corralled
them again and forced them down to
the brink they would stand calmly,
planted ankle deep In the stream. res
olutely determined not to move.
sit was then that Price gave vent to
real profanity, and l am bound to own
that it was effective. When beating
and prodding and the milder invective
failed to urge the burros forward,
Price would stand back, pale with
rage, and begin to swear, calling upon
al his gods and blasting the reputa
ton Of his beasts unto the third and
fourth generation of their ancestors.
~By some subtle perception they
seemed to understand that this meant
business, and slowly at first, but pres
emily, as though they rather enjoyed
the water, they waded through and
started down the trail beyond"

THE JAPAN CURRENT.
Kuro siwo Piles Great Loads o
nrfffxvaod nm Alaaka,a ShOren

Kur0 sfvvo Piles Great Loads of
Driftwood ON Alaska's shores.
In one sense the Kuro Siwo, or Japan
current, is the most interesting in the
world because many photographers
believe 1t was the direct means of peo-
ping America. This much at least is
certain: If a boat were to be set adrift
on parts of the Asiatic coast and sur
vived all storms, the Japan current
could be depended upon to carry it
across the Pacific and deposit it on the
American shore. Such a thing has
happened. In 1882 nine Japanese fish,
ermen were left derelict and unable to
find their way back to shore. They
went with the current, and after
they were carried to Hawaii.
Trees torn by storms from the banks
Of Asiatic rivers frequently float across
the Pacific to the American coast. Be-
tween Kakatag and Kyak Islands,
about 1000 miles northwest of Seattle,
enormous piles of this driftwoed cover
the beaches. There can be no question
Of the Asiatic origin of the timber.
They are the trunks of the camphor
tree, the mango and the mahogany.
Logs 100 feet long and eight feet in d.
ameter are frequently found. Many of
them are seen floating shoreward, with
fantastic roots standing high above the
waves. In places the logs are piled
twenty feet high. They are generally
without bark, which has been peeled
OF by the waves, and most of them
have become white and heavy from
tmpregnation with salt water. AS they
pile up the sands drift over them, and
new beaches are formed. This process
has been going on for ages, and the
shore line is being steadily extended.
Excavations along the beach show that
texture of the buried timber gets hard
or and harder the farther in you go,
until in some instances petrifaction has
taken place. Other excavations show
logs that have turned to coal.
The presence Of Siberian driftwood
on the shores Of Greenland convinced
Nansen that his idea of drifting across
the Polar sea In the Fran was logical.
Great quantities of the wood are an
nually cast on the coasts Of Spitz-
bergen and Nova Zembla, and there
are tribes of Greenland Eskimos who
depend for sledge runners and other
wooden implements on the drift from
Siberian forests. For years they de-
pended for iron implements on the
hoops Of casks which came to them
over seas.-Theodore Waters in Aims

Ferris Seaton had meant only to
lightly crack the shell, but when he
grasped the napkin to mop the sticky
yellow from his vest he realized the
fierce energy with which he had struck
the uno1ending egg.
His sister looked across the table in
surprise. What's the matter, Ferry r.
she asked is the market wrong, or Is
Audrey? 1t is Audrey" she finished
for him as she noticed the quick con-
traction Of the bushy brows. What Ii
it,"
He tossed the morning paper across
the table.
AT the head of the third column"
he said briefly as he continued the
cleaning process.
The article was lurid scare head
announcing the forthcoming marriage
of Audrey Wiley, daughter Of the null
timillionaire Thomas Wiley. to the Bar
on Won Zinghen of the German embas-
sy at Washington. At a dinner and
ball that evening the formal announce
ment Of the engagement would be
made.
In the early seventies. when Tom WI
ley and Dave Seaton worked adjoining
claims in the Sierras, they had been
fast friends. Seaton had sold his claim
to Wiley, who struck 1t rich ten
months afterward.
When Wiley came east a multimil-
lionaire, Seaton was a prosperous mer-
chant, and the old friendship was re-
newed. Ferris and Ethel were invited
to play with Audrey, and the compan-
ionship Of the fathers was repeated In
the second generation.
Then Ferris went to college, only to
be recalled during his senior year by
the failure and subsequent death Of his
father. The friendship between the
two families lapsed temporarily until
Ferris had placed the wrecked bust
ness on it's old basis. Audrey, just
back from the finishing school. was a
beautiful girl. Between her and Fer
ris it was love at first sight, but Wiley
pere had other plans for his daughter.
Il like you, my boy" he admitted to
Ferris, but, Audrey is not for you. I've
spent thousands on that girl, and she's
going to marry more money or marry
blood"
Ferris replied sharply. Mr.. Wiley
forbade him the house and imported
from California a sister to act az Au-
drey's duenna.-
This had happened six months ago.

DISTILLED WATER.
" In the Purest, Best and Only Ar
sOIuteIy Safe Water.


soIutely Safe Water.
Boil q gallon Of water until there is
but a quart left, and the quart will
contain all the impurities Of the gal
lon and be nearly four times as i'm
pure as before. Continue the boiling,
and all the impurities animal, vege-
table and mineral, except the gases
thrown off-will be reduced to one SOL
Id mass. The water which is evapo-
rated and passed off as steam is very
nearly pure. But, you will say, it kills
the dangerous germs. We will sup
pose it does, but their remains furnish
material for bacterial life to feed up
on. Do you relish the idea Of eating
In food or drinking their dead and de-
composing bodies, which poison the
water by their decomposition? The
fact is scientific investigation has PROV
ed that boiling only kills the feeblest
the least injurious, germs.
Try a simple experiment Put un-
boiled city water in one bottle and the
same that has been boiled for half an
hour or more in another, cork tightly
and keep in the sun or in warm place
for a week or longer and note the diff
ference. The unboiled water will show
a marked depreciation in looks, taste
and smell, but that which has been
boiled will be SO much worse in these
respects that no one would think of
using it. In comparison with these
you can submit properly sealed bot
tie Of pure distilled water to the same
conditions, and at the end Of year it
will be found to be as pure, sweet and
perfect as when first bottled.
The purest and best and the only alb
solutely safe water to use for drink
ing and the preparation of all foods
and artificial drinks is that produced
by distillation, but the most imperfect
one produces a water far superior in
purity and healthfulness to the very
best spring waters under their most
favorable conditions. The nearest ap-
proach to it In purity is rainwater,
which is distilled water of natures
own production, when collected on
clean surfaces, In uninhab ited sections,
where the air is pure and uncontami-
mated by smoke, dust, city and factory
gases, etc.-Sanitarian.
