ISSUES PAPER ON
SUNDAY EVENING
Munsey's Experiment in Washington
Reported to Be Success.

WASHINGTON, December 6.-Sev-
eral thousand men who had failed to
read the announcement that Frank A.
Munsey would issue a Sunday evening
edition of the Washington Times
stopped short this afternoon when they
encountered newsboys with an evening
paper for a penny Some of them
bought the paper and carefully exam
ined the date to establish the fact,
and others crept guiltily away in much
the frame of mind of the devout but
absent-minded woman who hung out
a big washing just as her neighbors
were stating for church.
Differing but little from the regular
weekday issue, the Sunday Evening
Times was able to find plenty or local
news and good telegraph service. The
latter was specially organized for the
paper. The editors report that in
| stead of having difficulty in obtaining
enough news for a Sunday evening pa
per they were obliged to throw good
stories away for lack of space
Washington advertisers who made it
necessary to print twenty-page pa
per were largely responsible for this
exclusion. At The Times Office to-
night it was stated that the paper was
a big success, that the issue was close
to 10000, overlapping the regular
/ week day issue by several thousand.

CURRENTS NEAR CHRISTMAS ISL

CURRENTS NEAR CHRISTMAS ISL
AND.
Captain Aud, of the Br. sp Ky
nance" at Vancouver, has had expe-
rience with the currents which run
strongly at Christmas Island, says the
Victoria Colonist. Last year the Ky
nance" was on passage from San
Francisco to Australia, and Captain
Aud laid his course to pass Christ
mas Island, which lays about latitude
and longitude $50, at 100 miles to
the eastward. He took his sights and
had his position clearly made out and
yet in one day current set him 60
miles on his course and he passed
| Christmas only 40 miles away. Sail
| ing ships bound for Australia get the
NE. trades right down to the equator
ial line which they cross at longitude
$50, and from that spot run into the
Sc. trades and that also is the gen
eral course for steamers bound for the
antipodes. Now, from latitude to 8,
J strong equatorial current sets east
and runs from to 3 knots an hour.
and this current and the sweep it takes
is clearly set forth in most charts. A
navigator therefore, getting into those
ATTITUDES and aiming to pass Christ
mas Island on it's eastward side GER
tain distance, will find that this east
erly current is carrying him out of po-
sition. Naturally he will attempt to
&c hi
I vessels course point or two to the
westward and under ordinary condi
lions this shoul1 correct the drift to
the east, and enable him to pass
Christmas Island at the distance ORR
ginally planned. But when he crosses
latitude 4 in one day, according to
Captain Aud, he runs out Of the cur
rent setting east and gets in the
swing of current setting west, and
with this carrying him down, together
with the fact that he has altered his
course to the west also, it is little
wonder that he finds Christmas Island
Internationally near, or, as in the case
of the Aeon" crashes on to the reefs.
The distance covered by a full power
ed steamer in one day is quite enough
to carry her from the eastward into
the westward current, and this no
doubt accounts for the accident to the
Aeon" In a asiling ship, navigators
have more time ana opportunity to
study the set of currents, and in Cap
tain Auld's opinion, as indeed in the
opinion of every master mariner who
knows those waters, there is a current
making a huge circle right round
Christmas Island. Going to Australia
from this coast vessels first strike the
northern sweep of this current, which
is setting east. After passing through
that they hit a little slack water and
then come right in the southern or
westward set The strength of the
currents vary with the strength of the
trade winds, thus the "Kynance" drift
ed 60 miles to the west in "a hours
and the Aeon" drifted 35 miles in 3
