Japan's Gulf Stream.

The sea currents "hich flow along both coasts of Japan consist of Il warmer current conlin" from the south and a colder one from the north. The former is the Kuroshio, or Black cur rent, which takes its rise near the equator, being produced by the Pacific trade wind It is so called from its color. which is deep indigo in fine weather, though ashy pale on cloudy days. The colder currents are the Oyashio and the Okhotsk, the former of which originates in the vicinity of the peninsula of Kamchatka and the latter near the mouth of the Amur river The predominance of the one or the other of these currents causes a great difference in temperature.

Minerals Sensitive to Liaht.

The element selcnium has long at tracted attention because of the pecul' far effect light exerts on it's electrical conductivity. Scientists have now dis covered that copper oxide has proper ties similar to selenium, says Popular Mechanics. Another mineral recently put in the same class is stibnite, an antimony mineral. Other materials such as sulphar, shellac, paraffin and anthracene, a coal tar product, will also exhibit odd conductivity effects under the influence of light, but to q lesser degree.

caster Cotton Mills were contemplate
ing putting in a water system at the
mill village and that it might be ad-
visable for the city to endeavor to
sell water to the mill ~as we had
plenty of water and needed the
money. On motion and after discus
sion, the mayor was authorized TO
make a proposition to the mill offer
ing to allow the mill. at it's own ex-

hshed rate of seven (7c) cents per

Dull Finished Mahouany.

The furniture that we love is the
old mahogany that our careful fore
mothers kept in such good condition
that we can enjoy it today. And fol-
lowing their example, we must still
keep it in the best of order; but the
very high gloss that was liked for
some time past on old woodwork is
not so much in favor now among peo-
pie who want enjoyment and use in
connection with their heillooms. To
live in dread of finger marks on pol
ished surface is not to be comfortable.
So instead of using much furniture
polish on old mahogany, use a very
little sweet oil. Apply it sparingly,
rub and rub it in. Another good APP
plication for unfinished mahogany is
made Of two ounces Of yellow beeswax
dissolved in the same quantity Of tur-
pentine. But whatever polish is used.
the wood must be thoroughly busted
and rubbed before the application is
made.
