A bottle dispatched from the steam
ship Guildhall ON May 81, 1894, when
in 46 degrees north, 81 degrees west,
almost midway between Brest and New
foundland, was picked up on Feb. 18,
1896, at Antigua, after drift of about
4, 800 miles. It had evidently passed
close to the Azores, the Canary islands
and the Cape Verdes on the way. An
other, thrown overheard from the sloop
Sapolio on July 20. 1892, travelled east
ward toward the Azores, and thence, as
in the previous instance, until it was re-
covered near Turks island, north of
Haiti, on Feb. s, 1896, after drift of
nearly G, 600 miles.
A bottle message from the sailing
ship St. Enoch is probably the most in
teresting of the 50 drifts shown on the
United States chart. 1t was sent off
when some roo miles west of Sierra
Leone, under the influence of the we'll
known Guinea current, setting eastward
on to the African land. The master of
this vessel noted on the message that
she had experienced an easterly current
of 36 miles during the previous day.
Hence there is reason to suppose that
this messenger was swept eastward I'M
til some incident occurred to transfer it
to current setting in a westerly direc-
ton. Once on the latter route, however,
it passed leisurely along through the
passages of the Windward isles, escap-
ing contact with any land, followed the
trend of the Atlantic coast of North
America till clear of Newfoundland,
and thence onward to Totabrough Walls,
Shetland islands, where it was found
on March 20, 1895, after having accom-
plished record drift Of nearly 5000
miles in less than 1000 days.-Cham-

E. L. Godkin in The Atlantic claims
that the advertiser rather than the sub
scriber is now the newspaper bogy
He is the person before whom the pub
Usher covers and tries to please, and
the advertiser is very Indifferent about
the opinions of newspaper. What in
terests him is the amount or quality of
its circulation. What he wants to know
is how many people see it, not how
many people agree with it, The conse-
quence is that the newspapers of largest
circulation, published in the great cen
tiers of population where most votes are
cast, are less and less organs of opinion,
especially in America. In fact, in some
cases the advertisers use their influence,
which is great and which the increas-
ing competition between newspapers
makes all the greater, to prevent the ex-
preston in newspapers of what is prob
ably the prevailing local view of men or
events. There are not many newspapers
which can afford to defy large adyer-
tiser.

made bold to say to DIR. Nansen that
thousands upon thousands of men who
were not specially interested in arctic
work had read his book with delight,
and that to me the marvel was not that
he could do what he did in the field,
but that he could write such book
about his experiences.
"The best thing in it, to my notion, /"
I said, is your description of your
dramatic meeting with jackson on
Franz-J osef Land, and the best part of
that was your reference to the manner
in which the wild mans sharpened
senses discovered the fragment Of the
soap which the civilized European has
used in his morning ablutions.
at is really true, replied DIR. Nan
sen, "that could smell that soap as
plainly as if it had been strong per-
fume Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for several
days our sense of smell was wonderful
ly acute. AS I approached Jackson IS
hut thought could smell everything
it contained and give sort of inventory
of its stores without entering. In day
or two this acuteness wore off, and we
became quite normal in that as well as
in other respects. But ! wonder if a
man were to live wild for few years
if his sense of smell would not become
quite as keen as that Of an animal?'-
