Ocean Currents.
Washington Spec. 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.
MRS. PINKHAM says that irritability indicates disease.
Women who are nervous and snappish are to be
pitied. Their homes are uncomfortable; their dis
positions grow constantly worse. Such women need the coun
sel and treatment of a woman who understands the peculiar
troubles of her sex.

Cheap Water In Glasgow.
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.—

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.

service between Baltimore and Pitts

struggle has been to arrive at a com
promise between the article that would
appear advantageously on the street
and yet mark a decided departnrefrom
the hard qnill and crown band habit
of last season. A single plume from
the old gray goose's tail, stuck inde
pendently through the crown of a
slouch felt, is not the approved idea
now. A green, or gray, or brown felt
with a bent-edge brim and a stiff
"bowler" crown seems to be the tri
umphant one of many shapes and as
might be expected it has been desig
nated patriotically by the name of Ad
miral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia.
There is nothing nautical about the
"Olympia." It iB wound about the
base of its brim with a scarf of dark
liberty silk and this comes to a loose
knot in front, in the folds of which the
quill ends of two long, soft composite
plumes are made fast. Of well-dyed
barnyard fowl feathers these plumes
are made, mottled white down the cen
ter, and <fchey are so arranged as to
droop softly to one side. Into the lib
erty silk knot a fancy strass pin is in
troduced, and this is a happy contrast
to the unbecoming cowboyish headgear
that all womenkind that adopted it
during the summer should remember
with a blush. A great many patronesses
of the Olympia wear the easy-fitting
hat on hair dressed low at the
back of the head and a strap of elastio,
not skewer pins, is used to keep the
felt in its place.
The Evary-Day Gown.
The shops are filled with the new
dress goods, and what to buy and how
to have it made is the absorbing topio
with the sunbrown shoppers.
For the every-day gown which must
stand hard wear, such as is illustrated
in the large engraving, the reversible
Harris tweeds are highly recommend
ed. The best quality comes fifty-six
inohes wide and costs 32.75 a yard.
It is sold in all the new attractive
shades, with a real Scottish clan plaid
for the reverse side of the oloth. When
these double-faced tweeds are used
fcr a skirt and coat costume, no lining
i is reqnired and the lapels, caffs and
collar of the coat are made of the plaid.
Camel's hair cheviot is extremely
fashionable this year. It can be found
in dashing plaids, and in indistinct
plaids of mingled dull artistic colors.
Then there are attraotive half-inoh
oheck cheviots and these crossed with
narrow stripes. Oraphite gray and
the browns and blues are usually the
foundation shades of these cheviots
and the lines whioh run through them
are generally automobile red, vivid
green, orange yellow and beige.
The Long Ulster.
A little later on and we will be criti
cising the usefulness and beauty of
the long-skirted ulster that fits the
body olose and has a trifle of fnllness
in the rear, where a strap spanß the
base of the spine and is glorified by a
large silver buckle. Long cloth ulsters
in the colder weather will be used with
capelets of bear's fur that are short on
the shoulders, high in the collar, but
almost reaching the feet in front in
two stole ends. The opera mantles,
so far as they have allowed their
charms to be viewed, are buautifnl in
the extreme. They are lonp, of coarse,

THE WORLD'S COLDEST PLACE.
Kuatao Ifamlet un Vau River Hold!
That Distinction.
From the Philadelphia Press: Ver
cbolausk Is considered to be the cold
sat place in the world. It is a small
collection ot native log houses, plant
ed near to, but not on, the Yana river.
The street, It so it may be called, ex
tends on either side of a narrow sheet
ot water, a kind ot creek formed by the
autumn overflow of the Yana, and
which in winter forms a froxen prom
enade or driving place for sleds. It is
a dreary place enough. The summer
lasts only four months, and during the I
other eight of the year it is bitterly
cold, the thermometer sometimes indi
cating 86 degrees below zero, and it sel
dom goes above 60 degrees until April
30. Corn will not grow in this desolate
region. Barley and oats have been
sown, but have always succumbed to
the early frosts. Of vegetables, there
are only the radish and the turnip,
with, perhaps an occasional and very
precarious crop of potatoes. Cabbages
all run to leaf. The ground rarely
thaws, even during the hot season, be
yond twelve or eighteen inches deep
and in places much exposed to the heal
never beyond a yard. Most of the
dwellings are Rakut huts, built of tlx
trees against a square framework and
covered thickly with mud to keep oul
the cold.
Margherlta'fl Fondness for White.
Queen Margherlta is passionately
fond of white, and wears it more than
anything else. One day she asked the
king if he thought she was glowing
too old to wear white dresses. The
king replied that he would like to
think the matter over. In the course
of a week the queen received a note
from her royal husband, saying that
his answer would be found In the ac
companying box. The box contained
three beautiful white dresses.

French Studying German.
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
