DRIFTED MONTHS AT SEA.
Caroline Islanders Show How the Pacific
Isles Were Peopled

4 few natives Of the Caroline islands
have again answered the old conundrum
how the widespread islands of the Pa
citic came by the people who We're found
on them. The Caroline islanders are
born seamen, and no mariner who
knows their skill and daring will be sur
prised TO hear that in March last year
six of them confidently put to sea to
visit Japan, over 1900 miles away.
They were out less than Il week when
the terrible typhoon that in four days
brought complete destruction To some of
the islands wrecked the little vessel.
She still tloated. but had no rudder,
mast, sails or oars The men aboard her
were helplessly adrift.
For two months they saw nothing but
the heavens and the sea, till one night
a light shone out, but the castawAys
feared unfriendly natives and did not
try to reach the light, though that very
day their last bit of food had been eaten.
They caught fish and turned their pro-
vision boxes into trewood to cook them.
They partly assuaged thirst by spread
ing their garments to catch the rain. So
on they drifted, half dead. and no one
knows exactly how long, for the time
was not recorded, when they were pulled
ont of their boat on the shore of North
FormoSa. All but one were senseless;
two died in few hours and the others
recovered The distance between their
starting and landing points is 100 miles.
Some years ago all the records Of
drifts or long sea journeys of Pacific
islanders We're collected, and this mass
of evidence left practically no doubt
that the myriad islands were populated
by such voluntary or involuntary wan
dpringS-\eW York Sun.

Speaking of the charge by the NIer-

thousands Of dollars every year by thcfts
of goods in course of transfer from ships
to the importing houses, George w.
Wanmaker, appraiser of the port of New
York. said that the mysterious robberieS
have amounted to 10000 annually The
thieves, in police parlance pinch off,

do not attempt to steal in bulk. AS a
case III point the appraiser showed case
of women's hosiery in the public stores
building filled with small boxes, which
showed that some sharp instrument had
been inserted into the case and the small
boxes cut in an endcavor to extract some
of them from the large case. This
stealing said Mr.. Wanmaker, lis done
on the piers, | believe, before the goods
reach the appraisers. The cases are
pried apart. evidently with freight hooks,
and rs much of the contents taken as
possible When goods are unloaded

A Novel Substitute

An electrical substitute for the pneu
matte tube is on trial by the Berlin
suits. 1t consists of miniature electric
trains running automatically in a tunnel.
Each train consists of a locomotive and
three cars, and the double track tunnel
in which it runs is six feet wide by Two
and one-half high. with a trench between
the two tracks deep enough for man to
walk in. The current is taken from
conductor running along the tunnel roof,
and the trains run quite automatically,
stopping by means Of electric brakes on
reaching their destinations. \ block sys-
tenn prevents collisions. This system has
been actually in use on an experimental
section of track, for some time, and if it
is successful, as it seems now likely to
be, it will probably be introduced into
other E,uropean cities

A $4,000 Return on 10 Cents.

John Roberts of Watkins, Schuyler
county, a well driller last week pur-
chased of Angelo Duprcc, junk dealer,
on old pump for 10 cents. 1t was appar-
emily Of no value, but he thought there
might he some parts that be could use
in his business. When Mr.. Roberts and
his assistant took the pump to one of
the wells they were drilling and started
breaking it up they were greatly sur
prised TO see gold coins drop out of the
holes they made. They at once finished
the lob and found $1,000, nearly all in
$40 gold pieces. Who the pump belonged
to at the time the money. was hifdrn or
how long it had been there is m%s-

coins was 1883. Mr. Roberts at once
deposited his find in the Farmers and
Merchants bank at Watkins. He is
willing to surrender the find to anyone
who can prove ownership. but no claim
ant has yet appeared. The junk man
will make a memorandum to examine
the inside of every old pump before dis
posing of it at any price,-Utca Press.
