MARINE CURRENTS.
New Instruments Showing How They Be
gin and Are Maintained.

The marine globe, an apparatus to
produce currents similar to sea cur
rents, consists of a glass globe. under
the interior wall of which are con-
struCtcd the massive outline of conti-
nents and the hollows of sea basins
The bottom of the sea consists of an
interior sphere, concentric with the
one of glass, moving on a vertical axis
and worked by gearing The sea
basins are filed with water, contain
ing particles of sterine in suspension,
which render all its movements visible.
The exterior of the apparatus does not
differ much from that of geographi-
cal globe
When the nova BILE globe turns upon
itself. says the Cosmopolitan, the
water Is seen to start From both
extra-tropical regions it ad dvances
along the sea bottom, toward the
equator. there the two currents from
the north and from the south. meet.
and together rise to the plane of the
great circle; reaching the surface in a
stream that occupies the equatorial
belt of the oceans, the waters pour
southwark and northward of their line
of emergence; then. almost Immediate
ly borne toward the west, they produce
in their course all the secondary cur
rents which are formed by the outlines
of the shores and the shapes of the sea
bottoms.
Through the transparent glass one
can follow the movements of the liquid
mass and get a better idea of sea cur
rents than from the finest map. For

This apparatus is both a useful play

schools would delight to follow with

The marine globe would facilitate
the teaching of geography, SO far as
the sea currents are concerned and the

navigation, and furnish photography
with valuable data for the coordinat-

EARNED HIS LIBERTY.
Tactics of a Snake Whose Rest Had Been
Disturbed


The first law of animated nature is
self-preservation. The means employed
to attain this end are varied and inter
esting- Some animals depend upon
strength. some upon swiftness, some
upon coats of mail. others upon poison
glands; but with many the main reli-
ance seems to toe hypocrisy or simula-
ton. y correspondent of the Popular
Science News gives an interesting ac-
count of the performance of snake
when it found itself suddenly in
danger.
while searching for snails | turned
over an old log and disturbed a snake,
called by our negroes 'sPreadln ar
row. The tactics pursued by this
snake We're curious

seemed no thicker than cardboard,

he took care not to be seen edgewise.

the heart of his disturber, as for mo-

however, and began to poke the ser

'bluster' of no avail, he sought safety
in flight.
Repeated headings Off showed him
how futile were his efforts in that line,
and he altered his tactics again. He
turned on his back and remained mo-
tionless. / threw him up six feet from
the ground, and so quickly did he turn
over that he seemed to strike on his
back.
Once on his back. nothing could in

Wanted Water.

Florida reptiles often are Obliged to re-
sort to unique methods for obtaining
fresh water. One need not be sur
prised while pumping water TO see lit
tie brown frogs issue from the pump,
and one man was rather startled while
pumping to see a snake two feet long
issue from the spout, and, upon strik-
ing the ground, quickly crawl under
a house The reptiles crawl into the
pump to enjoy the water held up by
the valves 1t would be impossible
for them to come up from below, as the
well consists merely of a small pipe,
driven deep into the ground, having a

Driving WindmiIIs by Electricity.

A novel departure has been taken by
the owner of windmill at Bremen.
Germany. Hitherto it has been the
custom to use windmills in conjunction
with dynamos for the generation of
electricity, more especially for lighting
purposes, in places remote from a recu-
lar supply of current. and some most
successful installations of this kind
have been made. The owner of the
herman windmill proposes to reverse
this process, and instead of making his
windmill drive dynamo he will use
an electric motor, connected with the
town electric mains, for driving his
machinery when a calm prevails

from the east gets stranded in San

your tale of woe. and who pulls out his
roll and says to you:

1t is remarkable fact that the deep
est parts of the sea are in all cases very
near the land. The deepest sounding
known, 4,665 fathoms, or 27,93O feet,
was obtained 40 miles from the Kurile
islands; the next deepest, I SOL fathoms,
was found seventy miles north of Porto
Rico. With few exceptions like these
the depth of the oceans, so far as now
known, does not reach 1000 fathoms,
or four sea miles The north Pacific
has mean depth of $500 fathoms, the
south Pacific of 2,4OO, the Indian
ocean of 1000, and the Atlantic, by far
the best investigated ocean, has a mean
depth of 2,2OO fathoms.

REGARDING RAILROADS.

THE first railroad. three miles long,

he had the great faculty of knowing
