which once held a half pint OF whisky.
Subsequent to that it held paper saying
that it was dropped overheard from the
steamship Cephalonia 400 miles east Of
Boston. 1t was brought into this port
two years after it was dropped overheard
by schooner from Ambergris Key. little
island In the Bahama group.
The bottle, with its paper inside, had
proved the theory of ocean currents. II
had followed the Gulf Stream until il had
been caught by that current which sweeps
TO the south along the coasts Of eastern
Europe and northern Africa, had been car
ried thence to the westward until it en-
tered the Caribbean sea, then passed be-
tween the western end of Cuba and Cape
Gracias dos, the eastern extremity Of
Yucatan, and, having made the circuit Of
the Gulf of Mexico, was washed ashore on
the western end of Ambergris Key.
Other bottles which have been dropped
overheard by outgoing steamers have, as a
rule, been as satisfactory in the result OF
their drift as the bottle from the Cepha
lonia, but some of them have developed
marked eccentricities in their voyages
Thus one which was thrown overheard
from the steamship Aller off Cape Race
the southeastern extremity of Newfound
land, seems to have made "bee line" for
the Azores, where it was picked up on the
beach near Fayal. In its voyage it went
directly across the Gulf Stream, and fol
lowed n current never before suspected.
bottle dropped overheard by the steam
ship Sandman about 300 miles southeast
of Cape Farewell, the southern extremity
of Greenland, was picked up on the shores
of Norway, and one dropped overheard
about 200 miles off the coast Of Scotland
was found in nearly the same place. Both
of these bottles, journeying toward the
Land of the Midnight Sun, had shown a
strong current setting from the North At
lantic on the Norwegian shores.
The general result 50 far seems to be
that a strong current sets from the east
upon the shores of the British isles, and a
strong one rushes into the Caribbean sea
from the Atlantic This is fact long
maintained by writers on physical geog
raphy but never before demonstrated as it
has been by the photographic office But
the experiments of the photographic office
have also developed the fact that various
other subsidiary currents acting over a
large space, exist which were not before
suspected.-New York Tribune.

Eek = Congressman GrosVenor
Talks on tho Subject.

Thinks IT is About Time FOR Uncle Sam to
Call Halt on the Constantly Incrcas-
ing Influx of EoIeigners-English Only
Should BE the Language Spoken in Our
Schools aud Courts.
WASHINGTON, May 0 1t is expected
that some very advanced steps will be
recommended TO congress for the check
ing of immigration when the commission
of which eG-CCuglessman Grosyelnor is
chairman has made its tour of Europe
and reported upon the necessities in the
way of remodeling our immigration
laws. He said Wednesday that the in
flow of promiscuou5 foreigners must
stop, and that it was working hardships
upon our labor, since the bulk Of the inn
migrants We're laborers.
The second member of the commission
is a brother to General Master Work
man Powderly, of the knights of Labor,
who is in favor of very stringent laws
against immigration.
The third and last member, DR..
Hempster, is Germau-American from
Wisconsin. He will, probably, counsel
caution in the report, which is to EN-
body the results Of thorough investiga-
ton as to the character and volume Of
our immigration.
General GrosvenOr Talks.
In an interview Gen. Grosyenor. who
is a prominent Ohioan, said; "Never
was any country the receptacle for such
immigrants as are pouring in on u.s. All
other previous records are being eclipsed
The increase, which has become so APP
parent of late, has its origin principally
in southern Italy, and us most Of the
material now arriving is non -assimila-
tive, something must be done to de-
crease the volume. The labor organiza-
tions complain that sufficient employ
ment cannot be secured for the people
already here, and there is a very general
demand for moro rigid immigration
laws The country is rapidly becoming
too strongly tainted with foreign odors
Take Wisconsin as an instancc-a state
that is almost a European province
The people there demand the conduct of
the schools in foreign tongue, and give
other marked evidences of their alien
ism. In a little while they will insist
on having the records of their legisla-
ture kept in their non-American Ian
guage, and on top Of this will come an
endeavor to have the courts operate in
the language or languages native to
other lands than ours. This is all
wrong. We cannot afford to welcome
those who will not be Of use. 1t is time
