THE JAPAN CURRENT.
NuTO SiwO PILES Great Loads Of
DFtftNvOOd ON A'aAhn's shores

DriHwood on A'aAkns shores.
III one sense the kuro Siwo. or ,Iapan
current, is the most interesting In. the
world because many occan0graphers
believe it was the direct means of peo.
plng America This much at least 10
certain; If boat were to be set adrift
on parts Of the Asiatic coast and sur.
vived all storms, the JapArmA irrent
could be depended upon to carry 1t
across the Paciiic and deposit il on tho
American shore. Such Il thing has
happened. In 1899 nine Japanese fish
erlncn were left derclict and unable to
lind their way back to shore. They
went with the current, ana after
drift lasting during several months
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 200 miles northwest OF Seattle,
enormous piles OF this driftwood cover
the beaches. There can he no question
of the Asiatic origin of the timber.
They are the trunks Of the camphor
tree. the mango and the mahogany.
Logs 40 feet long and eight feet In dl-
nmcter 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 nre generally
without bark, which has been peeled
off by the waves, and most Of them
have become white and heavy from
impregn0tion 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 30,
until in some instances petrlfaction has
taken place. Other excavations show
logs that have turned 10 coal.
The presence of Siberian driftwood
on the shores OF Greenland convinced
Nnnsen 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 slcdge 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 10 them
over seas.-Theodore Waters in Aims.

0AA Ctuh Names.

There are "A number OF societies In
the world that bear strange names,
but probably one Of the most curious
was q club founded In 1875 by an Eng
lish actor. 1t was called the Sublime
Society OF Beefsteaks and had among
Its members the Prince OF Wales and
other royal personhges. They met In
the painting room of the Covent Gar
den tbeater and dined upon beefsteaks.
The club was in existence for more
than hundred years and became
quite noted because of its odd Gus
toms. Another strange name was that
Of the Scriblerus club. which Swift
founded In l7i4 and to which Pope.

Electric Street Railway
Councilman Anderson Talks

The announcement may occasion no
Httle surprise. but nevertheless it Is
safe one TO make at this time.
Tucson Is to have new electric street
railway.
Inc promoters OF this enterprise are
row In the city. Some Of them are
local men and some are outsiders.
! This railroad Is not to be built on
paper or constructed on air. 1t has
capital behind it. and can be depended
on as a certainty. The company de-
sires to run main line down Congress
street, and to- construct a belt line to
the suburbs. They also contemplate
extending the system to outlying points
OF interest. The engineers have been
examining the country about Fort
Lowell, with view to running the line
to that point The San Xavier Mis-
sion and the race track are also on the
list for branch.
Gardens could be laid out at the
above points. and amusements and
other attractions furnished to the pub
lie. There Is nothing strikes a vis-
itor to these parts more forcibly than
the absence Of place to go, and the
lack of any public place OF amusement.
Should the company carry out their
present plans, great many more tour
lists. no doubt, will be drawn TO
Tucson.
There Is one great obstacle in the
way of this great Improvement, and
that Is the width of Congress street
below Church street Councilman
Anderson pointed at the series of
wedges on lower Congress street and
said vehemently: There is the one
stumbling block to Tueson's advance
ment, AS long as their barriers to
traffic are In existence. We can expect
Iothing in the way OF material pro-
gSess. Those unslghtly blocks and
marrow streets take from the beauty
of the city. They destroy it's business
like appearance. They discourage the
investment of capital In short we
are kept at a standstill by them
why don't the Chamber of Com
merce bestIr itself? hy don't they
take hold OF this matter and see that
1t is done with dispatch? These are
questions frequently asked
"Cne small committee appointed by
the Chamber OF Commerce can dispose
of this wedge question in an incred-
IDLY short time" coptinu"d Mr.. Ander-
son. The city council is hampered
by Law In dealing With this matter.
We have to resort to the legal process
OF condemning the property for public
purposes. Then we have TO appraise

get options on every piece Of property
In this wedge district. These options
could be turned over to the city. and
the whole question could bs disposed
OF on short notice. This. 1t seems te
me. In the business OF the Chamber o.
Commerce, and why they do not take
a hand in II do not understand.
1T is a sure thing that the further
we go toward Main street, the less
trouble we will have The citizens In
that section are ready and willing to
erase this blot from the public view
any day. sincerely hope that the
business men viii, take hand in this
matter, and not leave 1t to the endless
fight which the city council has tc
