MARK TWAIN AND
FULL SPEED AHEAD.


Mississippi steamboat.
And when he heard the man with
the sounding line sing out mark
twain" he knew those two words
meant that the water was two faith
oms deep, navigation was good and
the steamer might 60 ahead at full
speed.
So really "mark twain" was
synonymous with go ahead"
And 20 ahead Mark Twain did.
Thus full speed ahead soon
took him off the Mississippi and
started him on the stream of litera-
ture.
And it wasn't long before he ran
across a machine that he thought
would give him greater speed.
And he courageously purchased it.
1t was a Model 1 Remington
Typewriter.
However, it wasn't all smooth
sailing in those early days of 1875.
For, although he found he could
run the machine with greater facility
than the pen, nevertheless he quit its
use for while for reasons best ex-
planned by himself.
Under date of March 1o, 1875, he
wrote to the makers;
Please do not use my name in
any way. Please do not even di-
vulge the fact that I own a ma
chine. l have entirely stopped
using the Typewriter for the rea-
son that | never could write let
ter with it to any body without
receiving a request by return mail
that | would not only describe the
machine, but state what progress
| had made in the use of it, etc,
etc. l don't like to write letters
and so l don't want people to
know that l own this curiosity
breeding little joker"
That was queer testimonial,
wasn't it?
But don't you see how eager other
people were to go " full speed ahead, I"
and how anxious they were to get
information about anything in the
way of machine that would keep
pace with their thoughts?
! Why, the entire world was on
tiptoe looking for the Remington
Typewriter. When the lineman at
the bow of the good ship Busi-
ness " discovered the Remington
machine, he shouted mark twain"
and for thirty odd years business has
been going full speed ahead"
| But Mark Twain of literary fame
did not long fear to use his Rem
ington. The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer" enjoys the distinction of
having been the first book ever SUBJ
mitted to a publisher in typewriter
manuscript.
And then see how persistently the
genial Clemens wrote after that,
Look at the list Of books he issued /;
twenty-five volumes, an amazing lot
Of stories for a man who did so many
other things.
He used the Remington and went
full speed ahead " throughout all
the last thirty-hve years of his life.
And full speed ahead is still
the record of the demand for the
Remington Typewriter.
Think of that advertisement which
| saw only few weeks ago-the
advertisement with the caption,
"a MACHINE A MINUTE"
1t certainly does look as if gen.
eral business is going full speed
ahead" when such demand is made
on the makers of the Remington
Typewriter.

WASHING AWAY THE LAND.
Erosion of the Drainage Basins Of the
United States

United States.
Investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosion Of
numerous drainage basins of the Unit
ed States show that the surface of the
country is being removed at the aver
age rate Of about an inch in 760 years
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface of the
country. it becomes stupendous when
considered as a total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The MISSISSIPPI
pi river. for instance, carries annually
to the sea 136. 100000 tons of dissolved
matter and $40, 900 tons of sus-
pended matter. and of this total the
Ohio river carries S3.350.000 tons and
the Missouri river contributes more
than twice as much The Colorado
river, which has built up for itself a
vast delta. brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in the
United States. delivering annually 3S7
tons for each square mile of its drain
age basin or a total of 100 100000
tons
The rivers of the United States car
~ to tidewater every year 270000 600
/ tons of dissolved matter and 513,000.-
900 tons of suspended matter This
total of 7s3.000.OOO tons represents
more than 350OOO,OO0 cubic yards of
rock or 61O,OOO.O0O cubic yards of sur
face soil. If this erosiye action had
been concentrated on the isthmus of

eupation it would have excavated the

Nov. 15.-The rafting season on the
Mississippi is ended, and footing up
the great traffic on the great river is
in order. The raft steamers have de-
livered about 400,O00,00O feet of lum-
Der to yards, and 4SO,OOO,O0O feet of
logs to mills along the Mississippi
from the St Croix, Chippewa, Black
and Unconstitutional comparatively
small amounts from the latter. Dur
ing the summer, when the rafting
season should have been the most &C
tive, 1t was the dullest. The upper
Mississippi. during the two middle
summer months and the first autumn
month, was as low as it had been at
any former period since the close of
the war. The result was that 75
steamers out of the 100 in operation
were forced to go. to the bank and
remain fully six weeks in idleness. At
the same time 1000 raftsmen were
forced out of work. About the same
time the now noted drouth in the pin
cries came on. The picture was a
serious one, with the great lumber riv-
ers dried up, the raft boats at the
bank, a shortage in stock at river
points and the season not half over
A crisis was not impossible. The
LIST of September, however, brought
the looked for autumn rains and re-
lieved the impending famine. Logs
were run freely out of the lumber
rivers and pushed on the way to the
Mississippi river markets, but so
many mills were ready to shut down,
a dozen having done so. And SO il
transpired that the September and Oc-
tober supplies by rafting nearly made
up for the shortage in midsummer
