Lake Currents.

During the next few months great
many bottles will be cast upon the
shores of Lake Michigan. They are
to be thrown into the water for ex-
perimental purposes by lake captains,
who will undertake the service at the
request of the United States Govern.
ment.
The experiments are to be conduct
ed 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
and enter certain data on blanks fur
nished for that purpose.
In order to do the work systemat-
ically, the great lakes have been
mapped out in numbered sections,
commencing at Duluth and number
| ing eastward. There are 410 sections
in all, each one containing so square
miles. When the captain throws one
of the bottles in the water he will
place in it, before so doing, a slip Of
paper, upon which the data and posi-
tion of the vessel is entered.
: On each slip is the request that the
finder send it TO the Chief of Weather
Bureau at Washington or hand IL to
the nearest Government Observatory,
lighthouse keeper or postmaster,
to ee forwarded. BY noting where
the bottles go ashore, data will be
obtained from which the movement
of the lake currents can be calculated.
