FINDING TIE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.
A Russian naval officer has invented a
very ingenious apparatus for ascertain
ing the depth of the sea without the use
of costly and heavy line. Indeed, no
line at all is used. SIhe instrument con-
sists of a piece Of lead, small wheel
with continuance tor registering the
number OF revolutions, and a float
While the apparatus sinks the wheel re-
wolves, and the registered revolution in
dictates the depth. When the bottom is
reached the lead becomes detached, the
hcat begins to act, and the machine
shoots up to the surface, where it can
easily be hshed up by net and the reg.

ABOUT TEA-TASTING.

The tea-brokerage business was begun
In small way forty years ago, and hns
been constantly increasing until it has
become al immense speciality. The
commission is half cent pound, and
the smallest amount that broker will
sell is five packages. He obtains sam
pies from the importer aud gives his
customers an opportunity of carefully
testing the article. Hence in tea
brokers' Office the kettle is always boil.
ing, and the comfortable has It's extended
array OF teacups. The drawing is care
fully weighed, and for one must turn
silver half dime, this being the usual
weight. Generally Al score Of samples
are tested at the same time, IN order 10
make comparison. The ten traders first
try the aroma and then sip it in order to
get the flavor. What nicely of taste
must be required to iix values in this
rapid manner An expert tea taster,
however, will not only designate the
price, but often specify the part OF China
in which the crop was grown. Tea
tasting is said to be gift, and some can
never succeed while others all at once
display skill. A good faster must be OF
rather nervous temperament, because
tea appeals to the nervous system, and
the business is, therefore, one in which
the latter is severely tried and sometimes
is shattered.
Tea brokers' arc sometimes obliged TO
taste 800 samples in day, and during
the business season 200 is al average.
One reason for this excess is found III
the fact that broker may be employed
to buy the entire stock for some impor-
tant house Hence he must exercise
great care; but, while no makes great
profits, his health suffers to u CORE
spending degree. The constant effect
Of such u stimulnnt indeed cannot be
escaped. Tea enters tlie system by in
hahng, and also through the mucous
membrane, and lastly by the stomach.
The result, as has been stated, is dis
tressing to the nervous system, the con.
sequences being varied according to
personal idiosyncrasies. They are, how.
ever, of sufficient Importance to have q
place in the medical record. The tea
broker must also resign the social nature
Of tea drinking, and when he comes
home at night with mouth irritated
with professional tasting how annoying
must be the announcement that tsa is
ready" The leading tea brokers are
rich men, but, as in many other special
ties, they have to pay for their success

Alice Stone Blackwell, who writes
in the Boston HcrdM that the services
commonly rendered by wives are con-
sidered worth much more than board
and lodging, when they have to DO
performed by hired servant, further
remarks: "ln 1880 there were in the
United States, according to the census,
9,945, 9l6 families, and only LOIS, 655
domestic servants. Thus only about
one family in nine keep servant, even
if no family kept more than one. The
great majority Of wives do their own
work."
