studri,r The Currents Of the Ocean.

Prince Albert Of Monaco has recently
reported the results of his experiments
TO ascertain the ocean circulation in the
North Atlantic. -Four years ago he
set adrift several hundred floats, many
of which have besn picked up. Some
Of these were hollow copper balls,
,ome oak barrels and some ordinary
bottles.
In 1885 he cast overheard on the
e a northwest Of the Azores 1863 floats.
Fourteen of this number have been re-
covered, giving clear indications Of .
southeasterly current curving around
the Western Islands at 9 daily mean
rate of 3.s3 miles. Of $40 floats which
the prince launched in 1885 nearer the
French coast nine have been picked
up, showing the movement Of 9 cur
rent in q similar direction with q mean
velocity Of about six miles q day.

now conducting similar experiments
on the Atlantic currents with improved
floats, each marked by q white painted
pine staff. 1t is to be hoped in the in
terests of navigation that all who find
them will comply with the printed in

THE TOWERS OF SILENCE
A visit to the Burial Places OF the
Parsees--The Vultures.

"a hundred yards distant through the
trees intervening n ns Of the gloomy
Towers of Silence, fully inkeeplng with
its gloomy name. AS visitors are not
permitted to approach nearer than 100
feet. we are directed to q small working
model under a lilac just off the garden,
Here, with the aid of a reference card.
we examine the eternal arrangements of
the tower.
1t is a roofiess, circular building OF
stone and painted white, 300 feet in cir
cumference and about sixty in height:
thirty feet from the base on the side
facing the garden Is Q small entrance,
Just large enough to admit the bearers
and body, closed by double iron doors.
These doors open on the main platform,
which is paved with large slabs of stone
and divided into three rows Of shallow
open rceptacles, into which are placed
the naked corpses to await the coming
of the vultures. The first, or outer row,
is for males tadult), the second for fe-
males and the third, or inner row for
children. These three rows correspond
with three moral precepts of the Zorro
astrian religion-good deeds, good
words, good thoughts. Between the
rows are foot paths for the bearers to
move about. In the center Of the tower
is a great well $50 feet in circumference
and forty to fifty feet in depth, into
which the dry bones are thrown after
being denuded Of flesh. From this
great well toward the cardinal points of
the compass diverge four underground
drains each of which has its terminus,
about thirty feet away, a small well.
The bottom of each of these small wells
is covered with a thick layer Of sand.
Pieces Of charcoal and sandstone are
also placed at the end of each drain.
Thus the rain water coming from the
great well and bringing with it the de-
composed osseous matter passes through
two sets of filters for publication before
entering the ground, thereby observing
a tenet of the Zoroastrian rellgion-tha'
smother earth shall not be defled."
A corpse is carried into the tower by
two bearers, called Nassaslars, who
alone are privileged to enter; the clothes
are then removed, the body placed in
one of the receptacles and the bea rsr
withdraw. Now is the opportunity for
the vultures to fulfill the duties of their
office. Upon the approach Of the pro-
cession hundreds Of them arise from the
tops of the palms, which have become
withered and dead from contact with the
carniverous bodies, and hover in a circle
above until the bearers have gone.
Then like darts they descend-a boiling
seething mass of carrion, each particle
of which, intent only upon precedence,
is quarre1ing and fighting withthe other
in its horrible work. In an hour or two
the corpse is entirely stripped of its
flesh; the bones are then left until per-
fectly dried by the heat Of the tropical
sun, then thrown into the well, where,
in course of time, they crumble to dust.
According to the teachings of ZOrOaster,
earth, fire and water are sacred, and in
order to avoid their pollution it 10
strictly enjoined that the dead bodies
shall not be buried In the ground or
thrown into the sea.

No one doubts that DR..

no one doubts that Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DR.. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If SO, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist so cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
