currents floating islands are the most
interesting. Many OF them have been
found yoyaging on the Atlantic. These
islands were originally parts or low
lying river banks which broke away
under stress OF storm or mood and
noated out to sea. says Theodorc
Waters In Ainslee's. 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 AMI
mails, 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.

Timber wolves are terrorizing the in

winter. For the first time in the his

distance from camp after nightfall.
Even when travelling in numbers and
armed they are afraid OF being pounced
upon by pack.
Among the many adventures with
wolves reported lately are a few of
thrilling interest. The most extraor-
dinary was that of Paul Mckay. a tie
maker. He was working on a small
contract thirty miles northwest of Du

road. One night in the latter part of
January he worked later than usual
and 1t was already dark when he start

had not thought seriously of danger
from wolves. though he knew that II
existed. He had scarcely got started
for camp before the woods resounded
with the howls Of wolves. Mckay was
instantly pahic-stricken He took to
his heels and ran for his life but he
was soon aware that the wolves had
ecented him and were after him. Nc

wolves. Their eyeballs glowed lilo
balls Of fire, and Mckay was SO scared
that he was afraid he would fall out of
the tree from sheer terror. Then
something extraordinary happened.
Two OF the wolves fell upon the third
and killed and devoured 1t. 1t was a
terrible fight for short time. Then
tne other two wolves quarreled and
fought, and finally left the tree. con-
tinuing their hostility toward each

taken from the tree almost dead from
