Must BE Polite.

General Manager Underwood of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has is
sued the following general notice to
station agents and trainmen: Your
especial attention Is directed to the
treatment Of patrons by employees of
the company. Complaints have been
made from various sources of discour-
tesy to freight and passenger patrons
on the part Of our agents, or their
representatives, at several Of our sta
tons, and also inattention of conduct
ors and brakemen to properly care for
the comfort Of passengers. There
should be no cause for such com
plants. 1t is a part of your duty to
see that our patrons are treated at all
times with %politeness and courtesy. not
only by yourself but by employees un-
der your charge. One of the valuable
assets of a railroad company is uni
form politeness and courtesy from all
OF its employees to its patrons, and
this capital must not be encroached
upon. 1t is proper for you to Under
stand that advancement does not de-
pend wholly on your efficiency, but in
other directions also, and will be
measured in a great degree by the
treatment accorded to patrons"

Fishing with Scoop Shovc!s,

The greatest sport We have heard of
in this section recently is the catch of
fish that Hurbert Bares, Anton Fergen
and some others recently made. They
went to the Jim river, neal Victor Uh-
rich's place, and in a slough which was
formed last spring from overflow of
the Jim river they cut a hole in the
ice and with scoop shovels they took
out over 275 pounds Of fine fish. They
said that they found fish frozen fast
tn the ice, which, when held in their
hands, revived and assumed their nat
ural condition. 1t is said there are
thousands of fish in the ponds and
sloughs that were formed last spring
by the overlooked river. Most OF these
will perish in a short time after the ice
commences to freeze, fer want OF
water and air. There are, no doubt.

A Chicago Business In Which There
Are Millions.

From the New York Commercial.
Chicago, Oct. 31.-There are in Chicago
to-day more than half dozen men who
have made fortunes, one man alone being
rated a millionaire, through the selling of
old bottles. Great warehouses five and six
stories high are filled 10 the very doors
with a myriad of the glass reeeptacles.
The magnitude of this business is DEM
onstrated by the shipping each year of
three cars of bottles to an Eastern com
pany by one dealer alone. 1t is estimated
that at least ten cars are sent each year
10 this company by Chicago secondhand
bottle dealers
The majority of the bottles come from
the garbage boxes and alleys The BUSH
ness has been reduced to a science from
the art of finding the bottles TO selling
them when the glass factories are closed
during the summer months.
One dealer said yesterday he carried
stock Of old bottles that we're worth more
than 100000 and that he could sell them
at once, only ii paid to hold them for the
rise in the glass market The clubs, hotels
and saloons furnish many Of the bottles.
Wagons call TO collect the supply each
day, but this stock can be secured only by
paying the scale price.
1t is from the housewife or the alley the
harvest is reaped. Unlike the old rag and
iron man, the bottle man" does not rend
the air with his cries. As the cast-ofrs
are found they are dumped into barrels
and are then turned over to the "sorters,"
who display wonderful dexterlty IN stack
ing bottles of one size. Each floor of
warehouse is divided into districts, and
the different sizes and shapes are put away
for orders.
The ginger ale. water and beer bottIars
of Chicago are the bitter enemies Of 4 e
secondhand bottle dealer. The former have
made many attempts to stamp out tbs
trading in their packages. Each manufac-
turer has Joined the association, VIII ch
costs him 500 a year. The different mp
ty bottles are collected and taken to he d.
quarters, where each brand is sorted and
returned 10 the original owner
I'VE have caused a decided falling off
in the profits OF the secondhand bottle
dealers" said a member yesterday "but
they stln flourish and continue 10 reap
profit with them. There was a big Gema
for bottles this summer, ana as t gla
factories were closed and could not i'll

secondhand dealers.
Il bought more than fifty gross OF my
bottles from them. OF course, there is no
law that would touch them as they have
a perfect right to pick up bottles. 1t is
the saloons and private families that IRE
to blame They give them away before our
wagons can pick them up. When yol come

more than 1900 fathoms. There is an idea
popularity current among seafarers that
sunken ships in the deep sea only go down
a certain distance, no matter what theT
build or how ponderous their cargo. HaV-
ing reached a certain stratum, they then
drift about slowly disintegrating, derelicts
of the depths, swarming with strange dem
liens the shadowy fleets Of the loved and
lost and mourned. In time, of course, as
the great Solvent gets in its work they dis

keep the whole body of water in the ocean

ing submarine torrents where long pent

20 admit their saltless waters; until from
continent to continent the connection is
made, and man holds converse with man
at his ease as though distance were not.
Recent Investigations go to prove that
chief among the causes that make for de-
struction of those communicating cables
are the upheavals of lost rivers. In spite
of the protection that scientific invention
has provided for the central core of con-
Quoting wire, these irresistible outbursts
of undersea currents rend and destroy 1t,
causing endless labor of replacement by

THE OCEANS FLOOR.

Frank T. Bullen in London Spectator.
Suppose that it We're possible for some
CONFUSION of nature to lay bare let us
say, the entire bed of the North Atlantic
ocean. With one bound the fancy leaps
at the prospect of a rediscovery of the
lost continent the tabled Atlantis, whose
wonders have had so powerful an effect
upon the imaginations of mankind Should
we be able to roam through those stu
pendous halls, climb those towering tenn
pie nights reared by the giants of an elder
world, or gaze with stupefed wonder upon
the majestic ruins of cities to which Ba-
bylon or Palmyra with all their noun
famous edifices were but as a suburban
townlet? Who knows2 Yet maybe the
natural wonders apparent in the founda-
lions of such soaring masses as the
Azores, the Cape Verde Islands or the
Canaries, or, greater still, the altitude of
such remote and lonely pinnacles as those
of the st. Paurs Rocks, would strike us
as more marvellous yet. To thread the cool
ntricacies of the "stll vext Bermoothes"
at their Easements and seek out the caves
where the sea monsters dwell who never
saw the light of day, to wander a will
among the windings of that strange maze
of reefs that cramp up the outpouring of
the beuehcent Gulf Stream and make it
issue from its source with that turbulent
energy that carries 1t, laden with bless
ings to our shores-what a pilgrimage
that would be! Imagine the vision of that
great chain of islands which we call the
West Indies soaring up from the vast plain
5000 feet below. with all the diversity of

homes of the coral insects, who build
