A fair daughter of Texas christened with bottle of wine our first real line of battleship. the Texas, when she was launched the other day at Norfolk. The Texas is not a fighting ship of the heav- fest class, but when finished she will b,
 a match for French and English battle ships of the second class in size and armament. The Texas is battleship of 6,8OO tons displacement. She was ordered six years ago by congress. But it was not thought then that any Amer ican marine architect could plan such a vessel, and so models were advertised for abroad. One was adopted that was made by Mir. John, of the famous Bar row shipyards in England, so that our first battleship has been constructed on an English model. It is sufficient to say that we have now marine architects who can plan fighting vessel fast enough. They have learned something in the years our new navy has been uu- der construction. The Texas was or dered to be built at Norfolk. It was found, however, that no shipyard in America had plant large enough to construct such ship, and the new dry dock at Norfolk had to be built first as a cradle toreceiye the vessel. This, too, took time. But our next battleship will not be so long building; neither will it be constructed from British plans.

Lake Currents.

During he next few months great many bottles win be cast upon the shores of Lake Michigan. They are to be thrown into the water for experi- mental purposes by lake captains, who will undertake the service at the re- quest of the United States government. The experiments are to be conducted for the purpose of determining the set and drift of lake currents, and will be under the direction of the. weather bureau. The bottles are to be given out to vessel captains, who will agree to throw them overheard and enter certain data on blanks furnished for that purpose. In order to do the work systematically the great lakes have been mapped out in numbered sections, commencing at Du- luth and numbering eastward
 There are 4l0 sections in all, each one containing about 180 square miles. When the captain throws one of the bot ties in the water he will place in it be- fore so doing slip of paper, upon which the data and the position of the vessel is entered On each slip is the request that the finder send it to the chief of the weather bureau at Washington or hand 1t to the nearest government observer, lighthouse keeper or postmaster to be forwarded By noting where the bot. ties go ashore. data will be obtained from which the movement of the lake cur rents can be calculated.
