Siberian Mining Claims.

The expense Of Locating ant
patenting claims in the Oral and
Siberia ia very little. The size of
the claim being optional with the
locator, up to $50 acres, he rarely
tlods it of advantage to include
more than 200 acres within his
lines. The average cost of locat-
ing and patenting such claim,
including all field and camp ex-
pepses, will not exceed Sl25.
Particularly noteworthy through
out the mining code is the effort
to give peri ct title and to prevent
litigation. All locations must be
patented within two years, and no
titla or assessment work is re-
quired. All OF the court decisions
under the mining code show the
precedent that failure to comply
with the unimportant purely
formal technicalities nf the law
does not intefere with a mans
title. To those who have mined
in other parts of the world, per.
haps The most striking feature is
the large amount of land that
can be located in a single claim.
This liberality has, as a matter of
fact, been the cheif obst' Gle
to the progress of Russian
mining, as it enables the un-
progressive men to Lold large
tracts OF valuable mineral land
without being obliged to do as
sessment work thereon. w.

THE AUTHOR FOUND WONDER OF THE SEA
ISLANDS THAT FLOAT MANY
MILES
Longest Voyage Was Fully 1000 Miles
and the Island Finally disappeared Off
South America.

OF the passengers carried by ocean
currents uoauug islands are the most
interesting Many of them have been
found voyaging on the Atlantic. These
Islands were originally parts Of low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress of storm or flood and
ioated out to sea. The OrinoCo the
Amazon, the La Plata and other tropi-
cal rivers often send forth such pieces
of their shores. Some of the bits of
land are of large size and carry animals
insects and vegetation, even at times
including trees the roots of which serve
to hold the land intact while their
branches and leaves serve as sails for
the wind. Generally the waves break
up these islands shortly after they put
to sea. but sometimes under favorable
conditions they travel long distances.
The longest voyage of "A floating ISL
and, according to government records,
took place i'm 1898. This island was
first seen off Florida, and apparently 1T
! had an area of two acres. 1t bore no
/ trees, but IL was thiCkly covered with
| bushes. and i'm one place it was thir,y
] feet high above the sea level. If was i'm
/ the Gulf stream, travelling slowly, ana
/ with occasional undulatons TO show
where the ground swell was working
/ beneath it, Probably it got away from
! it's river anchorage i'm the spring of
/ the year, for toward the latter part OF
| July it had reached the latitude of Will
/ mington, Del. No large animal life ha,
| been seen on it, though there must have
! been myriads of the small creeping
! things which abound in the tropics. BY
! the end of August it had passed Cape
/ Cod and was veering toward the Grand
| Banks. 1t followed the steamer lane
routes quite accurately, and several re.
! ported it. One month later It was in
| midocean, northwest of the Azores, anC
/ its voyage evidently was beginning to
| tell on it. 1t was much smaller and
less compact 1t was not seen again
and probably 1t met destruction i'm the
October gales But it had travelled al
least 1 600 miles. and if as was thought
it came from the Orinoco. it must have
covered twice that distance. II is quite
possible that floating islands larger

POsTPRANDIAL NAP.

Those who indulge in a nap after a
meal argue that it is a natural in
stinct.' and point to animals to prove
their point. A German physician now
calls this belief in question according
to Health, which says:
Or. Schulz is the daring savant who
has hurled this bomb into the camp OF
the postprandial sleepers. He does not
indulge in unreasOning condemnation
of the practise, but as the result of a
number of experiments he announces
that sleep after meals has the effect of
decreasing the mobility of the stomach,
and inducing a condition of hypera-
Cidity On the other hand, he admits
that the recumbent position after a
meal is favorable rather than otherwise
but the tendency to sleep should be re-
sisted, for that way danger lies. The
doctor bases his conclusions upon the
analysis of the contents of several nor
NAL stOmachs few hours after eating.
In some of the cases the meal had been
followed by sleep in others not. While
this assertion deals a crushing blow at
the after-dinner nap, it need not be
accepted as conclusive. as there may
have been conditions present in the
cases reported of which the analyst was
not COgnizant."

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

The Agricultural Seminar, held a
meeting at DR.. Shorey's office in the
Board of Health rooms last Saturday
evening DR.. Shorey presented some
interesting facts on the results of an
analysis to determine the food value of
taro, raw and cooked, and poi. John
Austin gave the results of some of
his experiments on fruit trees and told
what might be done to improve the
fruits of the Islands. In the ShOrey
discussion it was shown that poi con-
tains more fatty matter than the taro
from which it is made a fact which in
dicates that the perspiration which
runs into the poi while it is being
kneaded, adds an appreciable quantity
of human solids to the food
