FLOATING ISLAND DRIFTS
1000 MILES IN ATLANTIC

From a Geographic Society Bulletin.
Within our own times a floating
island 100 feet square, upon which
trees 80 feet high We're growing. drift
ed l 900 miles out into the Atlantic,
probably from the coast of the United
States. In July, 1892, this island, the
trees of which made it visible for
miles, was seen ESQ miles south
east from Nantucket
BY September it had drifted farther
north and east with the Gulf Stream.
Grasses and rushes begin pushing
out from shore and in time moss
grows over this decaying vegeta BILE
matter. Soon alders, sheep-laurel and
sweet gale grow with the moss, and
then cranberries and pitcher plants
push their way out in the shelf until
the mat becomes feet thick.
Then spruces and larches begin an
choring it together with their roots.
When the water rises the floating
mass rises also, but the shore can
not, and when the wrench is great
enough the mat breaks off and floats

Highest L Road in World.
II the Compressed Air Magazine

From the Compressed Air Magazine.
The highest elevated railroad is in
Peru, and extends for a distance OF
40 miles from Callao to Oroya, on
the eastern slope of the Andes. In
about 100 miles it rises from sea level
to 1866 feet. just a few hundred feet
lower than Mont Blanc, in Switzerland.
The building of the line, begun in 1870
was one of the greatest engineering
tasks the world has ever known
While the actual distance between the
terminals is only so miles, unavoidable
turnings and ZigZags called for a road
nearly double that length.
In places the line runs in galleries
which We're cut in the faces of preci-
pices by men lowered in boatswains'
chairs. The railroad emerges from
tunnels right on to bridges sustained
by piers more than 200 feet high, and
then disappears again in other tun-
nels. 1t is the only line in the world
down which train may run 100 miles
without the help of a locomotive.

the offer Of huge sum Of money to
