Baltimore Sun: Some valuable Information respecting ocean currents has been obtained by the Naval Hydrographlc office through floating bottles thrown overboard by steamers and recovered by passing ships, which report the exact points at which they were found. Frequently the bottles are picked up and again tossed overboard after the latitude and longitude and the number of the bottle have been noted, so that the office In Washington may know the direotlon taken by the bottle since put Into the sea or last sighted by some vessel. In this way the direction It has drafted and the strength of the current can be accurately estimated. There are some recent returns which show that bottles have floated thousands of miles, and one has a record of covering 2,400 miles In 92 days. This bottle was tossed overboard from the steamship Furst Bismarck on May 1, 1898, about 350 miles southeast of Cape Race, and re covered on August 1 In the vicinity of Gluck stadt, on the Elbe. The dis tance between the two points, follow ing the route through the English Channel, is about 2,400 miles, giving 26 miles as the lowest possible estimate of the daily average velocity with which the bottle traveled eastward. The longest distance made by any bot tle was one thrown from the steam ship Electrician, which covered 6,300 miles in a little over three years, or an average of nearly six mtle3 a day. An other bottle traveled 6,000 miles In 671 days, or an average of eight knots, while another made 6,000 miles In 327 days, or an average of 15.3 knots a day. Another good record for a bottle is 300 miles In 16 days, or an average of 18.S knots a day. In conducting its experi ments the navy department has had the co-operation of the Russian gov ernment, which on the cruises of two of Its vessels had thrown In the sea 703 bottlee, of which 30 have been re covered and reported. Taken collec tively, the paths followed by these floating bottles give a good idea of the drift currents of the North Atlantic. The motion of the waters aeems to be weeterly, as is evident by the destina tion of the numerous bottles cast adrift between Madeira and Cape San Roque, all of which ultimately found their way to the Windward Islands, the Ba hamas or to the western shores of the Gulf of Mexico.

In Glasgow a 376 householder ob tains for 31.42 per annum a continuous, never failing, unrestricted stream of the purest water In the world delivered right Into his kitchen, wash-house and bath-room. It Is calculated that 380 gallons of pure water are delivered to the citizens of Glasgow for every penny paid. And It is water of such peculiar softness that the householders of Glasgow can pay their water rate out of what they save on soap. Loch Katrine water Is not only soft—lt Is remarkably bright, clear and free from vegetable matter because of the bare and precipitous character of the hills which drain into the loch. It is uni form In color, temperature and qual ity, Is absolutely free from pollution, and must remain so because the corpo ration have now bought up the build ing rights of the whole drainage area; it needs no filtration and Is practically unafTected by the change of seasons.— Engineer Magazine. A Prince*. Dilemma. The German emperor likes to study the characters of his gyoup of small sons, and to that end has given them a room next to the one used for busi ness purposes for himself. A certain great scientific man, having on one occasion an interview with the em peror, left his hat In the adjoining vestibule. There the little brothers discovered it; aud the crown prince, explaining to the younger ones that "papa" sometimes sat on his opera hat and it came all right again, proceded to give a practical Illustration of this statement, to the ruin of the beaver. The emperor's door suddenly opened and "papa" and the professor appeared. Like a manly little fellow the crown prince owned up, apologized to the laughing professor and went oft to buy for the old gentleman a new hat with his small pocket change. A Terrible Revenge.

It Is said that the study of German is increasing in France, while the study of English is on the decline. In thei Ecole des Sciences Politiques, in Paris, where diplomats are trained, many more study German than English. Many young Frenchmen are now being sent to Germany and Austria instead I of England to get acquainted with ths language of the victors of 1870. In & Paris lycee 143 students study German to 34 English. In another school ths proportion of German to English is 500 to 188. In the Marseilles gymna sium two-thirds study German, one third English. It Is believed that this French interest in German will have a powerful influence in the commerce and politics of the world in the next generation. a Ccmgh or Cold at inj Conquers Croup without fail.
