Contrary to generat belief, the longest craft in the world floats not in Atlantic, hut In Pacific waters. There one may see structures which overreach the longest Atlantic liner by some fifty feet. At first glance they appear moro like whales than the work of man, or perchance like some mammoth kind of torpedo boat, which almost hides itself to escape the eyes of the enemy. Although some measure nearly four city blocks In length, they Feet of Lumber. rarely rise above the water more than ten feet, and In a storm they are swept by the waves from one end to the Containing 8,000,000 other.

One of the largest floaters that has yet traveled the Pacific 'was 750 feet long, 60 feet wide, and contained 600,000 feet of piling, which on passing through a mill would produce 8,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure. As it is almost 15,840,000 feet from New York to San Francisco, the boards obtainable from this raft, if placed end to end in a straight line, would reach more than half way across the continent. The chains which bound the logs of the raft together weighed 120 tons. The floater drew 221-feet of water. Frightful Experience of Man Followed Three Nlghte by Wolves. The once brown locks of M. A. Mahoney, of Tacoma, Wash., who carried from Fairbanks to Valdez, Alaska, the body of former Mayor Humes oC Seattle, are now white as the result of his experience with timber wolves during his trip.

As the sun was setting one evening they heard the howls of a large pack of wolves, which gradually closed In around them. Hauling the body into the timber, Mahoney built a fire. His dogs, frightened and nervous, crept between the sled and the fire. Whenever the fire got low the wolves came closer. Mahoneys fight was largely against his own sleepiness. For safety be tied a burning pine knot to his arm and when it burned dose enough to hurt he would get up and replenish the fire. He was compelled thus to torture himself three successive nights. On the last night In particular the wolves were especially ferocious, seeming to understand that by another night their prospective prey would be out of danger. The next day Mahoney reached a roadhouse and from that time had company until Valdez was reached.
