Atlantic Currents.

1t is an interesting fact in the records
of scientific progress that the United
States navy has for long time past
been dropping bottles overheard in the
Atlantic ocean at the Azores, in deep
water along the coast of Spain and from
the Madeira and the Canaries south
ward along the coast of Africa. The
fact that all these bottles that have
been recovered have been found ON the
coast Of South America, on the Antil-
les, and some Of them as far west as
the mouth of the Rio Grande, suggests
the inference that every buoyant object
which has been dropped into the ocean
during the present geological epoch by
prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por
tuguese or Africans has found it's way
to America and been stranded some
where between the tenth parallel south
and the thirtieth parallel north. In the
northern part of the Atlantic ocean the
currents run the other way, and the
mails have been delivered from Ameri-
ca to Europe. In the Pacific ocean the
daily mails delivered on the west coast
Of America from Mount St. Elias south
ward have proceeded from about the
twentieth parallel north, in the vicini-
ty Of the Malay peninsula and archipel-
ago, thence have travelled through the
China sea and the Japanese sea to pick
up matters designed for the western
hemisphere.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
