Buoy Set Adrift an British North
america Reaches Finmark.

Christiania, Norway, Jan. 9-The Meteoro-
logical Institute has received a letter from
Soeroe. Ffnmark. stating that buoy which
was driven ashore November 3 last con-
tained notice that the buoy was set adrift on
July "a. 1900. near Cape Bathurst and about
four hundred Kilometres C2S4 miles) northeast
of the Mackenzie River.
Cape Bathurst Is in British America. the
Arctic Ocean, lying IN latitude 7O:39 north,
longitude 1870 west. It is believed here that
the buoy which thus drifted more than eight
years, was carried through the polar seas be-
tween Greenland and spitzbergen- II this is SO
it would seem to support the conclusions on
which Captain Roald Amundsen has based his
future expedition on the Fran.
Captain Amundsen's expedition the Fran
will start from San Francisco early in 1910. He
plans a drifting voyage. similar to that under
taken by Nansen. He intends to fasten his ship
in the ice 10 the northwest OF Point Barrow,
Alaska, and hopes to drift near the pole.

Quaint Fijian Plant.

There is nothing under the sun quite
SO quaint, so weird and witchlike as
the pandanus prairies of Fiji The
pandanus, or screw plant, as it is
called, is most grotesque specimen
of the vegetable kingdom even at the
best and in the early stages of its
growth. In its very young days it is
of an extraordinary screwlike shape
and looks as though some unkind hand
had taken hold of it's long, swordlike
leaves and twisted them round and
round. Later on it straightens out a
bit and from it grow a number of tall
wooden stills. Its foliage is simple,
a number of dropping, ragged tufts for
all the world like mops, and very
mournful looking. Among these mops
hangs the fruit, in shape like a pine
apple, made up of hard red and yellow
kernels, woody and fibrous, and quite
uneatable from a Europeans point of
view.
