A Scientific Test.

A native ofTe Kao, North Cape, New
Zealand, on May found bottle strand
ed on the beach, 1t contained paper,
and the following is a translation of the
German words written thereon: This
bottle was put overheard at II o'clock
noon on February Is, 1886, in latitude
40 degrees and II minutes south, long
itude Ill degrees, Sc minutes and so sec
onds east, from Greenwich. Ascher, on
board the ship Bismarck, on voyage
to Sydney This bottle was weighted
with sand. Whoever finds this paper
is requested to send it to the imperial
admiralty at Berlin" 1t is also re-
quested that the finder should add some
particulars as TO the time and place at
which the bottle was found. The exis-
tence of an ocean current setting in
from the Indian Ocean toward the
southern end of New Zealand is fact
well known for many years. 1t strikes
the southern end about the Bluff, and
chiefly passes to the eastward, but APP
parently New Zealand to some extent
divides it, and, though the bulk passes
to the eastward,a small stream comes
up to the westward of New Zealand, and
naturally impinges against the western
side OF the northern part of the Auck-
land provincial district.

immigration Statistics.
From the Philadelphia Call.


An interesting study is furnished by
the report of Chief Switzler. of the Bu
reau of immigration, for the month of
july and it is of special interest and
value just now, In view OF the fact that
the immigration question is engaging
the attention of Congress. During the
period mentioned there came to the six
ports of entry in the United States,
namely: Baltimore, Boston and
Charlestown, Mass; New Orleans,
New York, Philadelphia. and
San Francisco, 40,9l7 immigrants, as
against $1,000 for the same period in
1887, the number reaching, for the seven
months ending July 81, 357 ,l25, as
against 325, 53l for the same period in
1887. Of the number that came in July.
New York, of course. had the greatest
percentage, the immigrants that arrived
Philadelphia coming second with 3,0Sl,
and New Orleans the lowest, with only
lS9-in Jluy, 1887, the number entering
the latter port being but ..
OF the countries represented for the
seven months ending July 81, Great
Britain sent the greatest umber, the
total reaching the enormous figure of
lis, 8S9, as against 81 1872 sent by Ger
many. Of the totality sent by England,
Ireland furnished 5I,87l, England, and
Wales sending 46, l31, and Scotland, 49,,
S97. Asagainst Ireland's report already
cited, Germany sent 1882; France,
1929, Austria Hungary. which includes
Bohemia and Hungary and other Aus
tria. 29,76S: Russia, 25,75S; Poland
whether Russian, Austrian or Prus>ian
not stately, 4,180; Sweden and Norway,
40, POI; Denmark, 6,243; Netherlands,
1857; It ly, 3S,740; Switzerland, 5,139,
and all other countries S,l79, making
total of 357 ,l25. In 1887, for the same
period, that is for the seven months
ending July 81, the country exporting
the most of its population was Ger
many, the figures reaching SO, 495, while
Ireland was second with 50,5l6. and q
comparison of the figures cited shows
an increase of the he-ira from the EN-
erald Isle, with disproportionate fall
ing off on the part of the Kaiser's sub
iects. France has the smallest showing
for year ago the number being 1887,
this being due, probably to the Bou-
LANCER movement. But of them all
Italy offers curious study; in 1887 the
number being 34,S0S, as against SO, 740,
an increase of {, 932.

From Scribner's Magazine.


Although the retreat OF the fall is
slow, it Will in very brief time, in the
geological sense Of that word, lead to
certain momentous consequences.
When the hard layer of Niagara lime
stone passes below the bed of the river,
the stream will then cut upon rocks of
another constitution, making for time
certain small falls at higher geological
level; but in the course of ages, much
less long than those which have elapsed
since the birth OF this waterfall, the
gorge of the river will extend up into
the BASH of Lake Erie, draining away
considerable portion of that fresh
water sea. We shall then, if the CONT
nent retains its present height aoove
the level of the sea, have another
system of cataracts, in the passage be-
tween Lake Erie and Lake Huron, which
will also in time be worn away. Other
cataracts will then form at the exit of
Lake Michigan; and thus the lower
lakes of our gre at American system
would be diminished in area, or per-
haps even disappear. At later stage,
we may look for diminution in the size
OF Lake Superior, though that basin,
owing to the strong wall which sepa-
rates it from the lower lakes, is destined
to endure long after the last-named
basins have been diminished Or entire
Nv drained away.

Talking about advertising schemes"
said well-known boot and shoe mer-
chant in the heart of the city; 81 have
more of them submitted to me in a day
than | can considerably weigh IN six
months. But say, the latest thing out
for adoption was sprung on me the
other day, and no doubt some venture
some chap will adopt it some time.
When he does ihere'll be howl. A man
walked in here not long ago and intro
duced himself as so-and-so, accompany
ing his card with the assurance that he
had Just the thing [ was in search ola
novel advertising device. He wanted
to sell me the exclusive use of it in
stanter. And truly it was great A
verilable automatic printing press con-
cealed in the sole of boot! 1t consisted
of pair of men's size foot gear with a
wooden sole OF light construction. De-
scribing the sole of the foot, where the
stitches usually appear on an ordinary
boot, was a line of bristles about the
width of thread seam, or a little
wider These were fastened to a
small tube inlaid into the sole.
The tube came out of the
back and ran up the leg to small res
ervoir attached to circle of metal at
the top. The reservoir was to be filed
with ink or q colored fluid of some sort,
and was intended to supply the small
tube and eventually fill the bristle or
brush lines.
S.The scheme was, as he represented
it, to put on the boots after he had in
scribed an 'ad' for my house in bristles
inside of the lines describing the sole,
and then walk down Michigan Boule
ward and other aristocratic avenues
having stone sidewalks. Don't you see,
every step taken would leave an inn
print on the flags and lasting adver-
tisement remained to confront the
populace. His idea was to do the
walking at night, when his tracks would
not be noticed until daylight revealed
them. The only reason did net go in
to the scheme with him was that [

A Shark Killed by Tobacco.
From the Forest and Stream.


We had not fshed very long be ore
large shark put in an appearance and
stopped our sport. We first knew of
his presence by his greedily swapping
off the fish from one of my neighbours
lines, having followed up from the bot
tom. He executed this performance
several times, and then the snappers
stopped biting entirely. Not even a
nibble could we get. SO we hauled in
our lines and commenced to pay our
attention to the shark. He was mon
strous fellow, about fifteen feet long.
and he kept swimming round and
round the vessel, sometimes on top of
the water and sometimes away down
deep below us. but always at respect
fal distance. His reddish brown body
could be plainly seen through the clear,
transparent green water, and you may
he sure he was the cynosure of all eyes.
While we were talking | noticed the
native pilot every now and then throw
mo overheard one of the snappers We
had SO recently CAUGHT, and as the cur
rent carried it little distance clear of
the vessel the shark would gobble 1t
down, and in fact the intervals were SO
regular that Mr.. Shark seemed Impa-
tient when the regularity was broken

by little delay. We saw that our pilot
had some ultimate object in view, and
it drew our attention to him. AS be was
born and raised on this coast. and had
probably serv, his pilots apprentice
ship as fisherma", ne knew how TO
deal with his inveterate Toe, the shark.
Anyhow, We all thought SO, and gave
him Gre dit for it, and although he did
not say much, he went about it
in a very earnest manner. After hav-
ing thrown over ten small fish, he
selected another a little larger than he
others, and with stick of wood
rammed a roll of chewing tobacco,
nearly as large as a mans hand, down
into it's belly, and pressed it's throat to-
gether again. He held it ready to
to throw, and as the shark came up,
anxiously looking for his fish, he tossed
it to him, and as it barely touched the
water the shark turned over on its back
and sucked it in. The shark then
swan off as usual to the side of the YES
sci. and then below us, and was APP
parently rising again in expectation of
another fish, when the nicotine COM
menced its work. His struggles and
contortions were terrible to behold, as
he darted here and there in blind
rage and vomiting blood, but as he
swan or was carried by the current
away from us, his struggles grew gradu-
ally less, until it ceased altogether.
The tobacco had killed him.

Alcott Once Ate Meat.
From the Bost n Transcript.

A. Bronson Alcott was known to be ut
terlv opposed to The eAti of meat-a
strict vegetarian. Some twelve to fifteen
years ago he WAS a welco ne visitor in
many OF the cities of the West His
coming was hailed with delight. Dur
Ing one of these visits he was unusually
pale and weary He was connoisseur
IN the cooking Of oatmeal, of which he
always partook in the morning. At this
time his hostess, feeling sure that his
health was impaired, sent for pound
beef, had it slightly looked, the juice
extracted, and well stirred into a dish
of oatmeal. Mr.. Alcott ate with unus-
al relish, and disroursed eloquently
upon tile virtue of gram that waved in
the sun and air. The next morning the
same dish was repeated, and through
out his stay he partook of the pudding
and beef juice.
1t was noticeable that he gained rap
idly in health and flesh. Before he left
he remarked:
"Your oatmeal has been very
strengthening. You must tell me just
how it is made, aud [ must take away
package of the meal"
"Mr. Alcott," was the reply, "there is
genius in good cooking. and it is hard
TO lmpart it. Only come again, and you
shall find the d sh equally palatable."

A Relic Of the Blizzard.

A relic Of the blizzard was discovered
in West Twenty Third Street, New
York, last week, it having for nearly six
months defed the blighting effects of
the sun. In front of the American Art
School there stood large showcase
with an iron base. Last week the base
was moved. The task was accomplished
with difficulty, as the iron, having cor
roded, adhered to the stone pavement.
But when it was pried loose, under it
was found large bucketful of snow, as
fresh-looking as when it made its ap-
pearance on that memorable March
day. The supposition is that the snow
was forced under the case by the wind,
and the corroding of the iron base shut
out the air and prevented any interior
ence with the deposit by the warm
breezes of the summer.

English Cotton Spinning.
From the Dry Goods Chronicle.

Owing to the perfection of her spin
hing machinery and the large amount
of capital invested in the business, En-
gland spins more wooden and cotton
yarn than all the other countries com
bined, and yarns are among the most
important of her exports. The quality
o. cotton yarn in England is expressed
by counts or numbers denoting the
number of hanks in pound, signifying
coarseness or fneness. This rule OF
numbering is very simple, being the
number of hanks. each $40 yards long,
requisite to form one pound in weight.
Thus No. 40 denotes. yarns of which
orty hanks weigh one pound.
