And among the scores who halted to

garments patched and threadbare. She
stopped in front Of the hawker and
looked ut the early summer flowers with
more hunger in her eyes than as If she

She was jostled right and left by the
hurrying throng, but she minded moth
ing but the bright, sweet-smelling flow

man, whose purse could not have been as
large as his heart, saw the longing in her

WANDERING BOTTLES ON THE
SEA
Experiments which Have Proved Dea
About Ocean Currsnfs.


Experiments Which Have Proved Deal
About Ocean Currents.
OF all the wonders that those who 60
down 10 the sea I'm ships are brought In
contact with, none Is so unfathomable
or incomprehensibe as those mighty
rivers that flow tn -ough the ocean and
are known as streams where they are
we'll defined. and as currents where they
are not The United States Hydro
graphic ONCE has been making, In the
last few years, series of experiments
calculated to test fully the theory OF
streams and currents In the North At
lantie. Lieutenant Nazro has among
his treasures In the branch photographic
Office in tn city a little bottle which
once held half-plnt OF whisky. Sub
sequeDt TO that IL held a paper saying
that IL was dropped overheard from the
steamship Cephalonia, 400 miles east OF
Boston. IL was brought into this port
two years after IL was dropped over
board by a schooner from Ambergis
Key, q little island In the bahama
group.
This bottle, with its paper inside, had
proved the theory of ocean currents. 1t
had followed the Gulf stream until 1t
had been caught by that current which
sweeps to the south along the coast OF
Eastern Europe and Northern Africa,
| had been carried thence TO the westward
until IL entered the Caribbean Sea, then
| passed between the we stern end OF Cuba
| aud Cape Gracias Dios, the eastern ex-
| tremity OF Yucatan, and, having made
the circuit of the Gulf of Mexico, was
washed ashore on the western end OF
| Ambcrgris 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
Cephalonia, but some Of them have de-
veloped marked eccentricities In their
voyages. Thus one which was thrown
overheard from the steamship Aller off
Cape Race, the southern extremity OF
| Newfoundland, seems TO have made a
"bee-line" for the Azores, where IL was
picked up on the beach near FayaL In
| its voyage IL went directly across the
Gulf stream, and followed current
never before suspected. A bottle dropped
overheard by the steamship Sandman
about 800 miles southeast of Cape Fare
well, the southern extremity Of Green
land. was picked up on the shores OF
Norway, and one dropped overheard
about 200 miles off the cast OF Scotland,
was found In nearly the same place.
Both of these bottles, journeying toward
the land OF the mdniR hit sun. had shown
strong current setting from the North
Atlantic on the Norwegian shores.
The general result, so far, seems to be
that a strong current sets from the ca I
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 writer's on physics a.
geography, but never before demon
strated as ii has been by the Hydro
graphic Office But the experiments OF
the photographic Office have also de-
veloped the fact that various other sub
sidiary currents, acting over large
space, exist which were not before sus
pected.

How It Exists Among the Chinese
on the Pacific Coast.


Chinese slavery exists in California and
thousands of celestials are in bondage.
This rather startling statement is
vouched for by ii. Jay Hanchett, OF Los
Angeles, member of the executive COM
mittee of the orange carnival and an old
resident OF the Pacific coast.
''The slave-owners are the six Chinese
secret societies which carry on their OPP
erations both in California and China, !"
said Mr.. Hanchett, while smoking an
after breakfast cigar in the Leland
Hotel. 1.-The modus operandi is holding
up to the coolies in China fowery de-
scriptions of life in the new world. The
ease with which affiuence is acquired is
painted in glowing colors and the glory
OF being able to return to China after q
brief sojourn in California with enough
money to spend the rest of
their days is told in honeyed words.
The Chinaman, being human, is
tempted. He would go to the new
world. But how can he get therel 1t
costs money. Nothing easier, says the
agent of the societies. Il will pay your
way, and you sign contract TO work
for me when you get there. will find
work for you, will give you clothes and
food and collect the money you earn.
When you have earned enough to pay
me back what have paid for your pas
sage and other expenses you will be
free
WELL" Mr.. Hanchett continued,
"the Chinaman agrees. lie is brought
TO Lower California or Mexico or Canada,
i ,..-....,.l..1 the lx-1a- 1Nhss
smuggling is done by experts who
charge 500 head for it, 1t is easily
done. The border is too long to patrol
and once a Chinaman is in the China
town of any city it is impossible to de-
tect him from an old conner. And we
cau-U Keep count OF them. San Fran
cisco has Over 80, 900 Cinnamon and Los
Angeles has between 5000 and 10, 900.
The number of Cinnamon struggled you
may estimate when tell you that de-
spite the monthly return to China OF
from 900 to 900 Cinnamon who have
been in this country long enough to
make sufficient money TO keep them in
comfort Mt home, there is scarcely any
decrease in the number of Cinnamon in
the state.
when the new Chinaman is safely
struggled into the country he remains
where he is taken until the company to
which he belongs has orders for some
men. II | want Cinnamon to work in
my orchard 90 to one of the six COM
panies and contract for as many as want

Cinnamon to me, and they work for me
as long as / want them. l pay their
boss, who is the company's agent, and
they get nothing but UUout 10 oents
worth of rice a day.
at takes them two or three years to
work themselves free, during all of
which time they must do whatever the
company desires and without receiving
save little rice and clothes. Ostensibly,
of course, the companies are doing a
Legitimate business, but in reality it is
nothing but slavery. Besides the men,
the companies smuggle in lot of girls
who are sold to whoever will buy them
from $500 to $500. You cannot buy one
until you become acquainted with an
agent of one of the companies. Then.
