BOTTLE PAPERS" AND OCEAN
CURRENTS.

In order to add to the exact knowl-
edge of ocean currents, thera are forms
which are called "bottle papers" On
these little papers. an invitation, in
six languages, is extended to the mas
ters of vessels, to enter occasionally
upon the proper lines Of the form the
name Of the vessel and her captain, the
date and ,the ships position; and then
to seal the paper in a bottle and cast
ii into the sea. In other lines Of this
form, request is made, in the same
six languages, that the finder will write
clearly the exact place where, and date
when, any bottle was picked up, and by
whom, and then forward 1t to the hy-
geographic Office at Washington, or to
any Of our consulates abroad. These
bottles, Of course, drift in the ocean
currents. Some are picked up soon
after they are thrown overheard, others
drift for over year before being re-
covered They furnish valuable. rec
ords for more correctly fixing the cur
rents already known.
Day after day these reports are re-
ceived by the meteorological Office;
each one is acknowledged promptly,
and then given to the staff Of workers
known as nautical experts.
The result Of their labor is that on
the last day of every month is issued a
chart on which appears all the informa-
ton received during the month that
has gone. The chart. then, contains
review Of the past month, and a fore
cast for the month that is to follow.
The prevailing winds to be expected,
and their strength, as foretold by men
Of many years experience, are given
for the month to come. The various
sailing routes best adapted for that
month are mapped out, as well as the
steamship routes adopted by the prin-
cipal transatlantic steamship compan-
les. Every floating wreck, with It's
position when last reported; each Ice
berg as met with in its place during
the preceding month, and the fog banks
determined In the same way, are fixed
end shown By marks. Besides all this,
the latest charts that have been is-
sued by the Office and the last NO
tices to Mariners. are mentioned. In
the upper left-hand corner is either a
little chart prepared in addition, on
come subject OF timely interest. or
some further remark about things on
the great chart Itself. --Lieutenant-co Com

But Indignant Citizens Made Him Dis
gorge in a Hurry.


Boise, Idaho, Sept 29.-News comes
from Mountain Home that few days
ago a Chinaman was held up by two
men and robbed of 5000. The highway

Of the robbery. The citizens then took
hold of the matter. They took Shirley
out and suspended him from tree.
After being well choked he was let
down. He then disclosed where half
the money was. After being suspended
again he said that Of the other half he
paid lawyer fifty to defend him, and

Iron Mountain, Mich, Sept. 29.-It
was reported this morning that the
Mansfield mine. few miles from Crys-
tai Falls, caved in last night, killing
40 miners. The miners are buried un-
der heavy mass, and there is no pos
sible chance of escaping alive. Rescu-
ing parties are hard ct work. Unless
the imprisoned men can be reached in
a short time they will all be lost, as the
water is rising fast, and will soon
reach them even if they are not already
dead. The main shaft of the mine ex-
tends under the Michiganne river Ind.
The subsiding of the ground turned the
stream into the mine, flooding it al
most instantly. There were sixty men
in the mine, but fifteen escaped.
Later-There are now said ~ have
been only three men who escaped. Shey
were in the shaft at the time of the
accident, and were literally blown out
by the rush of water and air. Thirty
seven are actually known to be dead.
The mine is flooded to the level Of the
river bed, and it is impossible for any
enc of the missing to be alive.
Tony Bulletto, skip tender, was
standing with Frank Rocko, the night
boss, at the shaft on The fourth level.
They heard the crash and realized
what was coming: Rocko went into
the drift to inform his men of the dan
ger, and did not return. Bulletto came
to the surface in the skip alone. An
drew Sullivan, another night boss, was
en- the sixth level at the time of the
accident. He. called his men to follow
quickly All but four on this level
reached the ladder in safety. AS they
ascended, however they were nearly
suffocated, so great was the air pres
sure caused by the water pouring
down the shaft. They were able to
breath only at each landing place and
came to the surface more dead than
6 live Mine Inspector Roberts says his
deputy has been employed in the mine
and has given the work his daily at
tention. He also says he visited the
mine personally at required intervals,
"lt is clearly demonstrated" said he,
''that the ring system of mining cannot
be employed in that sort of ground.
The company has taken all necessary
in the conduct of the
work."
