"THE CRISIS IN THE ENGLISH

England he found the people much sgi-
tated over the condition Of affairs In the
English church, owing to the ritualistio
party using inosnse lights and the con-
fessionai In thsir churches. rhe agita-
tion over this question finally called the
attention of the arohbishops, the heads
Of the cnurch, to this condition Of Affairs
and they met to discuss them. The result
was the Issuing OF . set Of resolutions
written By the Archbishop Of Canterbury
condsmning the use VI ineenss and lights
and other ::Komauist accessories In their
worship. In this set of resolutions the
arch bishops stated that nothing was>to
be allowed In the church excepting what
was to be found In the prayer back. The
tendency Of the church 10 to place the
power with the clergy insesad Of with
the laity. The aim Of the X nglish church

THE PORT OF ByTTLES.
Caribbean Sen.

q EeculiHrGtt sad spot In the
Caribbean Sen.
"There is a dead spot in the Caribbean
sea-" said the first officer of a Brazilian
ship, that ought to be called the port of
bottles. 1t lies very nearly midway be
tween Cartagena, in Colombia, and
Kingston, Jamaica, and at a guess !
should say IL was due east Of Cape Ora
clos a Dios. 1t is out of the steamer
tracks. and the action of the great cur.
rents going one way and another has left
a space OF stagnant water without any
real movement at all. Anything that gets
into the dead spot is apt to stay there I'm.
less driven out by some big storm and
will simply drift round and round, gath
ering sea grass and barnacies.
The last time l saN the place was In
1895, when was on board tramp from
Rio that had changed its course little
to take up some rubber at a Central
American port. While we were passing
through we noticed u floating spar. and
among lot of rubbish attached to II was
a peculiar looking round object, bright
red in color. We put off a boat to inyes-
tigate, and il proved to be a patent buoy
which had been set adrift from Florida
lighthouse station in 1893 and was part
of a systematic attempt to ascertain the
speed ord direction of currents. Inside
was an official memorandum, which was
afterward returned to the navy depart
ment with data of when and where
found But what is a good deal more in
teresting is the fact that while we were
securing the buoy we discovered three
bottles sticking in the drift, all covered
with weeds and slime. One was empty,
and TIE other two had papers inside. The
first was memoranda that the bottle
had been dropped from a yacht off the
Grand Cayman, in, / think, the year
1892. and the other Enclosure showed
that il came from a ship bound for Mon
tevideo, on what date l forget. In each
case 1t was evidently the within OF some
idle passenger, but II was a little odd
that We should find the whole collection
together.
Il noticed a lot of other driftwood in
the dead spot. and l am confident that
no end of bottles could be cuiled from the
place. Hundreds are dropped overheard
every year, but very few escape being
knocked to pieces unless they happen to
find their way to some such a still place
as / have described" - New Orleans
