Gtean Currents.

The ship ':Mauritus," coming srom
Appia, the. Samoan Islands, to San
Franeifeo, last July, picked UP in
mid.ocean . large log of teak wood.
The captain Of the ship was familiar
With the methods Of cutting this wood
in India, and saw by tho marks upon
the log that it had drifted from some
coast Of che Indian Ocean at least
half way around the world, before be.
ing taken out of the water. ...
1t might bo supposed by the care.
less. thinker that the. log drifted aim.
iessly. 1t had. no radder, no sail was
erected upon it, no human being
guided it. - it lay in the water it
simply bobbed up and down, but
kept steadily moving. 1t saw the
sunshine on thousands Of miles of
water. and it passed through scores of
| s!orme.
II it had not been picked up by tho
s:aamer it would have landed, iu the
course OF few months, at point
somewhere. between Coos Bay, Ore
gon, and the southern limits of Alas.
ka.
How do we know this?
The log was presented to the United
States Hydrographio Bureau, aud il
has prepared an interesting statement
CT ths lsws which brought it to the
point in the Pacific Ocean where it
was picked up. The Bureau has even
/ prepared o map showing almost the ex-
act route taken. by the log from the
time it left its starting point to the
end Of it's journey, and also an add;-
tional map showing where it would
have landed il it had been left to
itself, .'s :.... ..... HI

BUILDING wATERwoRks SYSTEM
Horse Creek Will Soon Have Adequate Water Supply.

Jasper, November 19.-(Special )-Work is going steadily on at Horse Creek where the town Is installing a system of water works which. when completed will fur nish the town with facilities for fighting fire as well as water for drinking pur- poses. The system will cost in the neigh borhood of s5O0O, and will be the property of the town. Most of the money comes from the profits of the dispensary which Is doing a thriving business. The work Is in charge of c. H. Ohme of Birmingham. A twenty thousand gallon reservoir has been constructed on top of hill hundreds of feet above the business houses and the pressure will be ample for all purposes
 Work In the mines at Horse Creek has been a little dull for the past few days owing to a scarcity of cars.
