THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

There NAV be good and sufficient
reason for the failure to transfer pas
eneer at the Mckenzie washout, u
there seems to be little excuse for
failure to transfer the United States
mails. Here is what is known locally
as the Mckenzie slough. 1t now con-
tains an unprecedented amount OF wa
ter. The railroad track is submerged
to a depth of from three to seven rect
for a distance of a couple OF miles.
That has been the situation since last
Tuesday. Could not the mail nave
been transferred by boat, by raft, by
e around the north end OF the
slough-or some way? 1t does seem
as if there has been unnecessary delay
and exercise of bad judgment in this
matter.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, March 29.-Wheat
opened a shade under Thursdays
closing, but as general news was
scarce and it being a half holiday,
business was confined to a few minor
trades. Shorts early showed a dispo-
sition to cover which rallied the mar
ket sharply to 70 cents for the May,
but the trade. in absence of cables
and more authentic news from the
southwest, will not make any new
commitments until Monday.
Receipts here were quite heavy,
which proved quite a menace to the
bulls on the decline. Reports from
the southwest continue coming in very
confusing, some extremely favorable,
while Others are right the reverse
The longer the professionals r able
to keep the May under 20 cents, the
more trying it will prove to the longs,
who are gradually getting OUT and the
investment class are in consequence
accommodating. On fractional dips we
would much prefer the long side to the
short on bulges, unless they were OF
considerable importance.
Corn is also suffering similar condi-
tions as wheat. Trade is unusually
light even for Saturday. st. Louis

SOME WRITERS.

Locke is said to have spent over six
years in the preparation of his essay,
"On the Human understanding"
Lamartinc, the great French poet
was happily married and received
great aid from his wife in all his un-
dertakings.
The great Dante was married to a
notorious scold. and when he was in
exile he had no desire to see her, al
though she was the mother of his six
children.
Wolfe is said to have written "The
Burial of Sir John Moore in one even
ing directly after news had been
brought of the defeat at Coruna and
the death of the gallant British officer.
4 friend of the late Walter Besant
relates that the novelist always kept
ON his desk before him Il list of the
characters of the novel he happened to
be at work on, their relationship and
appearance.
Hans Christian Andersen formed his
style by narrating his stories to vari-
Gus groups of children before he wrote
them down. His one thought was to
become famous, and he was very care
full not to make any enemies.
Dickens says in the Introduction to
"David Copperfield' that he spent two
years in the composition of that novel.
He did not usually require so long a
time, many of his novels being finish
ed in less than a year and most of his
shorter stories in a few days.

TIE JAPAN CURRENT.
Kuro Siwo Piles Great Loads of
Driftwood on AIasla's Shores.


In one sense the kuro Siwo or Japan
current. is the most interesting in the
world because many oceanographers
believe it was the direct means of peo-
ping America. This much at least is
certain: If boat were to be set adrift
on parts of the Asiatic coast and sur
yived all storms, the Japan current
could be depended upon TO carry it
across the Pacific and deposit it on the
American shore. Such a thing has
happened. In 1882 nine Japanese fish
ermen We're left derelict and unable to
find their way back to shore. They
went with the current, and 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 drftwood cover
the beaches. There can be no question
of the Asiatic origin of the timber.
They are the trunks of the camphor
tree, the mango and the mahogany.
Logs $50 feet long and eight feet in di-
ameter 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 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
or 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 in the Fran was logical.
Great quantities of the wood are an
nually east 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

TnnI. the Hint.

A story is told of a certain English
bishop well known for his verbosity
who rose to address the house of lords
on very important occasion. Il will
divide my speech under twelve heads, y
he said, to the discomfort of his audi
ence
The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with little
anecdote. "A friend of mine was re-
turning home late one night" he said,
when opposite st. Paul's he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain the
time on the big clock there. Just then
it began to strike and slowly tolled out
u. The man listened, looked hard at
the clock and said: 'Confound you, why
couldn't you have said that all at
once?'"

laughter which followed and took the
hint contained in the story.

DISTILLED WATER.
It Is the Purest, Best and Only ABB
soIutely Safe Water.

Boil a gallon of water until there is
but a quart left, and the quart will
contain all the impurities of the gal
lon and be nearly four times as i'm
pure as before. Continue the boiling,
and all the mpurities-animal, vege-
table and mineral, except the gases
thrown off-will be reduced to one sol
id mass. The water which is evapo-
rated and passed off as steam is very
nearly pure. But, you will say, it kills
the dangerous germs. We will sup
pose it does. but their remains furnish
material for bacterial life to feed up
on DO you relish the idea of eating
in food or drinking their dead and de-
composing bodies. which poison the
water by their decomposition The
fact is scientific investigation has prov
ed that boiling only kills the feeblest,
the least injurious germs.
Try Il simple experiment. Put I'M
boiled city water in one bottle and the
same that has been boiled for half an
hour or more in another, cork tightly
and keep in the sun or in warm place
for week or longer and note the diff
ference. The unboiled water will show
n marked depreciation In looks, taste
and smell, but that which has been
boiled will be so much worse in these
respects that no one would think of
using it, In comparison with these
you can submit properly sealed bot
tie of pure distilled water to the same
conditions, and ut the end of year it
will be found TO be as pure. sweet and
perfect as when first bottled.
The purest and best and the only alb
solutely safe water to use for drink
ing and the preparation of all foods
and artificial drinks is that produced
by distilation, but the most imperfect
one produces water far superior in
purity and healthfuncss to the very
best spring waters under their most
favorable conditions. The nearest APP
proach to ii in purity is rainwater,
which is distilled water of natures
own production, when collected on
clean surfaces, in uninhabited sections,
where the air is pure and uncontami-
mated by smoke. dust, city and factory
gases. etc-Sanitarian.

A HUMAN FOREST.
How Indian Tribesmen Succeed In
Escaping the Police.

Some of the Indian tribes over which
we rule give us a great deal of trouble,
notably the Mahsuds. The Mahsuds,
however are not by any means the
worst of the Indian robber tribes, the
unenviable distinction probably falling
to the Bills, who are the cleverest
scoundrels in the world, both in their
methods of acquiring other peoples
property and in eyading pursuit.
They are very proud of their skill in
pilferiag and openly boast of it. One
of them once told British officer that
he could steal the blanket from under
him and was promptly challenged to
show his ability. That night when the
officer was fast asleep the Bill robber
cut a hole in his tent, crept noiselessly
in and gently tickled the hands and
feet of the sleeping man. The officer
stirred uneasily and turned over. In
this way the Bhi was able to pull the
blanket out little way. BY repeating
his performance he finally succeeded
in Cooking" the blanket completely
from under the sleeper.
When engaged in his nefarious little
games, the Bhil wears hardly any
clothing, and his 1.-the body is rubbed
with oil to facilitate escape from any
would be captors. When hotly pursued
by the British troops, the robbers make
use of a very clever device. They con-
ceal their scant clothing under their
small round shields and scatter them
about to resemble stones or powders;
then, picking up a few twigs-if there
are any to be had-they assume all
sorts of grotesque attitudes, their al
most feshless limbs silhouetted against
the dark night sky closely resembling
the charrcd limbs of tree. Absolute.
~ motionlesS, they hold their positions
till the enemy has passed them.
In this way n British subaltern in
charge of party sent to capture some
Bills was considerably startled one
evening. The pursuit had completely
lost sight of the robbers, and finally
the party drew rein by clump of
gnarlcd and bent tree trunks tired and
hot from their hard eXertions. The of
ficcr in charge took off his hat and
placed it on the end of Il broken limb,
when instantly there was wild scream
of laughter, and the tree trunks sud
denly came to life and vanished in the
darkness.-London Express.
