In reports Just made to the German
government and in circular now be
ing sent around in that country, the
bad practices prevalent in the man
agement of American railroads under
private ownership are condemned, and
the effect is to enhance an existing
lack OF confidence abroad IN American
railroad securities. Since the Govern
ment took control of the railroads in
the old. conservative monarchy of
Austria the benefits to the people have
been general. Rates Of fare have been
reduced! one half: the business of the
roads has been nearly if not quite
douDlei: life and limb have been safer
by reason of the great improvement III
the system Of operation. The Govern
ment has also been directly benefited

who 90 down to the sea ia ships he

saiu at all times. So when Oh Mon
day morning he noticed bottle on
the beach at Bolivar, about thirty
miles northeast from Galveston. he
took It III his u.t, iguratively speak.

bottle, the same as many Others
which have done duty a. holders of
whisky, but this bottle held no whis.
Ky, uor did the corks show h. marks
OF teeth--a sailor always uncorks a
bottle with his teeth.
The bottle was covered with
barnscles aud contained a circular
printed in German. which stated
that two bottles were sat ailoat from
the 7. aud y. steamer Petropolis Of
Hamburg, Captain Tn. Albert, a, u
o'clock u, IN. on th. 18th Of May,
1891, in south latitude two dcgr-es
forty six minutes. The Petropolis
was then en- route from Lisbon to
Bahia The finder Of the bottle was
requested Ia forward tho circular tn
tn. German photographic Bureau,
at Hamburg, or the nearest German
Consul, together with the time Of
its fnding, and whether the bottle
contained any sand.
The point at which the bottle was
cast into the sea is about 1900 miles
east Of Para and about $40 miles
northeast 81 Bahia. Here the equa.
torial current sweeps along, follow

And along with il went the bottle,
nouted aud jeered at by google

Bolivar beach. The waif had been
313 days on the trip, provided il had
just landed when Mr.. Altman found
il. As the distance travelled is some
thing over 5000 miles aud as the
bottle was picked up 379 days after
il was set ailoat il must have loafed
along the way somewhat These
tramp bottles might tell some inter.
esting tales Of travel could they
speak.
