"a BLOT" UPON ENGLAND.
Archbishop Canterbury Denounces the
Opium Trade With China.

The Archbishop OF Canterbury has Sc
vereIy criticised the relation OF the
British government to the opium trade
sentation Of an Illuminated address on
behalf Of the Society for the Suppression
Of tie Opium Trade 20 the Ven. Arthur
E. Noule. B D., previous to his return
to mid-China as archdescon after an alb
sencS through Illness Of eight years.
It was undeniable. said the primate,
that England had interfered with the
government Of China, and interfered by
force, ana We had taken on ourselves a
responsibility which we might have
avoided altogether. It had been said
that il We did not supply the Chinese
with opium they would supply them
selves, and IL some one was to supply
them England should have the profit.
1t seemed 10 him simply monstrous that
great nation should use such an ar
gument as that. To cause very serious
mischief 70 another nation, and then TO
say we were only doing what they would
do II We left them alone, he could not
understand II was impossible to re-
conciIe that with the principles OF
Christian behavior
The most powerful argument that had
been used in defense of the trade was the
ar kument that If we did not raise
money by this profit upon the trade In
opium We should have to tax the inhab-
itants Of India in order to supply the
deficiency Of the revenue 1t was not
any justification to say that we could
tighten :he burden upon the Indians by
entering into e trade which did harm
to their neighboTs. We had no right 10
deal with the Chinese in such q manner
at all T. the Chinese had been willing
there might have been something to be
said for II, but how It could be recon
clled with eny principle OF justice to In
terfere with the Chinese government and
say, Your subjects shall not be pre-.
vented by you from obtaining from w
what IN your judgment very much inter-
feres with their character and lowers
them IN their own eyes and in the eyes
OF the nations OF the world" he could
not understand,
The engagement of any nation In a
trade was always a dangerous thing. and
did not add to the dignity OF the nation,
and should not be tolerated by the ma
ton Itself unless for some very strong
reason such as had never been offered IN
this case. At present It was blot upon
the nation, and one which II was as
tonishing the English should have al
lowed to rest on the name OF England
for so many years. He held 1t 10 be
q grave duty TO persist in their en-
beavers to get Tighted what seemed 10
him an injustice to the Chinese. an in
justice to the English. and an injustice

ADRIFT IN THE ATLANTIC.
An Upright Tree Ahoat on the Waters
for Years.

A tree adrfft in the middle OF the At
Iantic Ocean is the rare sight reported
by Captain Freeman, Of the British
steamer SIdra. which recently arrived
in port with a csrgo OF pig iron from
Penlsaf, in the Mediterranean. It was
early morning, when In 1913 degrees
north and 1922 degrees west. that an
unusual looking object was seen floating
ahead OF the steamer. Those on the
ships bridge made out the trunk and
limbs OF a tree about twenty feet long.
canted on one side and the roots stick
ing cut OF the water
The body Of the tree had been bleach
ed white by the sun, and it was covered
with barnacles. It evidently reached
the sea by being wash=d down from
,, g me Atlantic coast river in a freshet.
Many months ago tree green with
foliage. standing upright. was seen OF
Cape Henry
The tree seen from the Sidra is in the
same position as a bell buoy. seen two
months ago by the British steamer
| Thirdly. For this tree to reach its pres
ent position 1t must have been drifting
about the ocean for nearly two years
When this odd dereIict went adrift II
must have been picked up by the Gull
Stream and carried up the coast OF
| Newfoundland
Then ii was swept 1000 miles across
the Atlantic 10 the vicinity OF the En-
| glish Channel. Next the Calf Stream
| carried it south past the coasts Of
| France and Spain and the northwest
| coast of Africa. journey of 5000 miles
Here Il drifted out of the Gulf Stream
and went into the very center OF the So
called SaTgasso Sea. in the middle At
lantic Ocean, the scene of legends of the
/ sea. where derelicts are supposed to
| finally come to rest in a tabled sea OF
grass.
The tree seen by the officer of the ST
ora will doubtless be picked I'D by the
Gulf Stream again and be carried across
the southern edge of the North Atlantic
Ocean, through the West Indies and 10
me Atlantic coast again. It Is following
the track Of the famous dereIict Fannie
S. Wolston, which was adrift nearly
four years and wandered e.1i5 miles.
She was nearly LOO days crossing and
recrossing her tracks. and Travelled
around in circles. She was sighted for
ty-one times, and crossed her own track
twelve times
That this was the tree. green with 70
liage and standing upright, reported
adrift at sea not far from the mouth OF
the Chesapeake Bay about a year ago,
there can be little doubt.-Baltimore

FIFTY BELOW ZERO.
Mrs. Mullen Didn't Find This Tempera-
ture Especially Uncomfortable.

Mrs. P NJ. Mullen, whose Omaha
home is at 1914 Grace Street. returned
for a visit Friday. from her present
home IN Alaska. bearing with her a
trunkful Of trophies and curios Of the
land OF the Arctic circle. Mrs Mullen
accompanied her husband to Alaska q
year ago last July, where he went as
register Of the land Office at Rampant
Last June Mr.. Mullen was transferred
to the once Of receiver at Juneau, where
he is now stationed
Mrs Mullen, who was placed In the

many friends who crowded her home
Sunday afternoon. expressed herself as
having been very agreeabIy surprised
with Alaska.
7 don't know what expected TO find. -
she remarked, but I confess that It
wasn't my idea that there would be
much of civilization or refinement or
culture. and I had been taught te be-
lieve that 50 to go below zero was IN
bearably cold. I went there prepared
TO be q martyr and a frontier woman and
ready 10 rough it. and come home
thinking it's the finest country In the
world
The climate at Rampant, which is a
city in the interior, is far superior to
Juneau, on the coast. where we are now,
There Is no wind at Rampant, and 40 to
50 below zero is really not at all IN
comfortable At that place, of course.
We could not get all the comforts we
have on the coast, and for two months
each fall while the river is freezing and
two months IL the spring while the
stream is breaking up, We had to do
without mail. But the miners are well
educated. refined people. and the society
Is very agreeable. The prices in the in
terror are extremely high 4 dozen
eggs, when we could get eggs at all
cost $50; FIVE pounds OF sugar. 81. and
butter was rs cents & pound The only
difference between living at Juneau and
in this country Is the climate, and / be-
lieve I prefer that Of Juneau"
Mrs. Mullen brought with her a COL
lection OF gold nuggets, also large col
lection Of Alaskan Indian work. which
far surpasses any basket or beadwork Of
the Indians OF this country.-Omaha
