THE JAPAN CURRENT.
Kuro siwo Piles Great Londs of
Driftwood on AInHka's shores.

In one sense the Kuro SiwO, or Japan
current, is the most interesting In the
world because many Occanographers
believe it was the direct means # peo-
pling America. This much at least Is
certain: If boat were to he set adrift
on parts Of the Asiatlc coast and sur
vived all storms, the Japan current
could be depended upon TO carry it
across the Pacific and deposit It on tie
American shore. Such thing has
happened. In 1882 nine japanese fish
ermen were left derelict AID unable to
find their way back to shore. They
went with the current. and after e
drift lasting during several months
they were carried to Hawaii.

of the Asiatic origin Of the NmnH.
They are the trunks Of the cimI.1l
tree. the mango and the mahogany.
Logs $50 feet long and eight feet in IL.
ameter are frequently found. Many Of
them are seen floating shorcward, 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
off by the waves, and most Of them
have become white and heavy from
impregnation with salt water. AS they
pile up the sands drift over them, and
gradually they sink out Of sight, 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
er 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 i'm 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

The Conversational Record.

To appreciate the value of The Con-
gressional Record one must see it used
1t is the only means by which members
themselves keep informed of the prog
ress Of legislation when scores OF
measures are often considered i'll a
day. 1t is on the desk of the president
Of the United States and is read by
every executive officer from cabinet TO

in the world envies ours the possession
Of such a publication, forming at once
an indispensable current record ana a
permanent history of events even more
valuable through the centuries.-Argo-
