Cheap Water In Glasgow.

peculiar softness that the householders

Katrine water is not only soft-it is
remarkably bright. clear and free from
vegetable matter because of the bare

The German emperor likes to study
the characters of his group of small
sons, and to that end has given them
room next to the one used for busi-
ness purposes for himself. A certain
great scientific man, having on one
occasion an interview with the en-
peror, left his hat in the adjoining
vestibule. There the little brothers
discovered 1t: and the crown prince,
explaining to the younger ones that
papa" sometimes sat on his opera hat
and 1t came all right again, proceeded
to give a practical illustration of this
statement, to the ruin of the beaver.
The emperor's door suddenly opened
and papa" and the professor appeared.
Like a manly little fellow the crown
prince owned up. apologized to the
laughing professor and went off to buy
for the old gentleman a new hat with
his small pocket change.

DRIFTING BOTTLES.
Give Valuable Information as to the
Ocean Currents.


Washington Spec. Baltimore Sun:
Some ~aluable information respecting
ocean currents has been obtained by
the Naval photographic office through
floating bottles thrown overheard by
steamers and recovered by passing
shlps, which report the exact points at
which they were found. Frequently
the bottles are picked up and again
tossed overheard after the latitude and
longitude and the number of the bottle
have been noted, so that the office in
washington may know the direction
taken by the bottle since put into the
sea or last sighted by some vessel. In
thls way the direction it has drafted
and the strength of the current can be
accurately estimated. There are some
recent returns which show that bottles
have fioated thousands Of miles, and
one has record Of covering 2,40O miles
IN 92 days. This bottle was tossed
overheard from the steamship Furst
Bismarck on May 1, 1898, about $50
miles southeast of Cape Race, and re-
covered on August l in the vicinity
OF Gluck stadt, on the Elbe. The dis
tance between the two points, follow
Ing the route through the English
Channel, is about 2,4OO miles. giving
26 miles as the lowest possible estimate
OF the daily average velocity with
which the bottle travelled eastward.
The longest distance made by any bot
tie was one thrown from the steam
ship Electrician, which covered $500
miles in little over three years, or an
average of nearly six miles day. An
other bottle travelled 5000 miles in s74
days, or an average of eight knots,
while another made 5000 miles in 327
days, or an average of 1873 knots day.
Another good record for bottle is 300
miles in 16 days, or an average Of 1873
Knots day. In conducting its expert
ments the navy department has had
the cooperation of the Russian gov
ernment, which on the cruises of two
of its vessels had thrown in the sea
703 bottles, of which 30 have been re-
covered and reported. Taken collec-
lively, the paths followed by these
floating bottles give a good idea of the
drift currents of the North Atlantic.
The motion Of the waters seems to be
westerly, as is evident by the destina-
ton of the numerous bottles cast adrift
between Madeira and Cape San Rogue,
all of which ultimately found their
way to the Windward Islands. the Ba-
hamas or to the western shores Of the
Gulf Of Mexico.

UP to the year 1924 the modern
roads of Great Britain were inferior
to those the Romans built prior to the
fifth century. The complete system
included six main roads from London,
with their branches, and perfect
network of cross roads, measuring all
ttld some 6000 miles, and connecting
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath, Bristol,
Newcastle, Dover and othe, points
still unoccupied by thriving towns.
The Roman roads wero marrow, but
built to last for all time. The usual
width was about fifteen feet, the
depth three feet. The bottom was
dug out and well rammeG, a founda-
ton of larger stones was laid in ce-
ment and layers OF smaller stones tap
cred off toward the top, which was
laid crowning in the middle to shed
rain. Such cement as Romans used
made these roads practically solid
blocks OF stone.

THE WORLDS COOLEST PLACE.
Russian Hamlet Yana River Holds
That Distinction.


From the Philadelphia Press: Ver-
choiausk is considered to be the cold
est place in the world. 1t is a small
collection of native log houses, plant
ed near to, but not on, the Yana river.
The street, if SO it may be called, ex-
tends on either side of a narrow sheet
of water, kind of creek formed by the
autumn overflow of the Yana, and
which in winter forms a frozen prom
enade or driving place for sleds. 1t is
a dreary place enough. The summer
lasts only four months, and during the
other eight Of the year it is bitterly
cold, the thermometer sometimes indi-
eating sc degrees below zero, and it sell
dom goes above so degrees until April
30. Corn will not grow in this desolate
region. Barley and oats have been
the early frosts. OF vegetables, there
are only the radish and the turnip,
with, perhaps an occasional and very
precarious crop of potatoes. Cabbages
all run to leaf. The ground rarely
thaws, even during the hot season, be-
yond twelve or eighteen inches deep
and in places much exposed to the heat
never beyond a yard. Most of the
dwellings are Rakut huts, built of fiji
trees against a square framework and
covered thickly with mud to keep out
the cold.

A Gun to Shoot citizen les.

The Royal gun factories at Wool
wich, England, hNye, - is stated, just
turned out gun With range so much
in excess of any previous ordnance
that the Government range at Shoe
buryness has been found insufficient
for ascertaining its maximum range.
When fired for the first time, the shot
went cut to sea miles beyond the tar
gets. Though the range of the new
weapon has not been actually measured
or calculated, artillerists estimate it at
fifteen miles, or about ten miles more
than that of the latest rifle small arms.

Making Love in Peru.

The social restrictions OF ancient
times are growing lax in Peru, as in
other Latin-American countries, be-
cause of contact with foreigners at
home and abroad, although the young
women are not yet allowed so much
freedom as their sisters in United
States and England. 1t is still q
breach of decorum for q lady to re-
ceive q gentleman alone until after
her marriage. A young man may call
upon a young lady, but he must ask
for her mother or her father. If they
are at home it is proper for him to
ask also for the daughter, and he is
allowed also to tell her of his love,
but their interview must be in the
presence of her mother, aud when she
has consented to accept his hand his
father and her father make it up be-
tween them and the match Is ar
ranged; but no contract is required,
as in France, and money marriages
are infrequent, although of course
prudent parents look out for the well
fare of their daug ghters with quite as
much solicitude as in the United
States.

WINDMILL INSTEAD OF SAILS.
Inventive Waterman Has Devised a New
Motive Power For Yachts.

Motive Power For Yachts.
Windmills can be put to other uses
than that OF drawing water on stock
raisers' farms throughout Illinois for
the cattle to drink. This has been
demonstrated by an ingenious boat
man on the lake front, who has at
tached mill to his toy yacht. The
fans of the mill revolve fastest when
the wind is high, and the craft is one
of the swiftest between Michigan
City and Waukegan. The owner of
boat accepted a wager that he could
not constructed q boat which would
be able to make progress in the teeth
of the wind. The bet was made early
in the spring. The boatman began
to think all day long. Last Sunday
he announced that he had constructed
boat according to specifications and
was ready to try it in order that his
point might be proved aud his money
won.
The craft when in the water proved
to be skiff-like boat, three feet long.
Directly under the bow was deep
keel. From the stern rose long vane,
like those seen on country barns, to
show the direction of the wind. Right
above the bow there was shaft with
a windmill ten inches in diameter on
the end. The shaft inclined aft and
ran through what would have been
the sternpost until it struck below the
water line. A five-inch propeller was
attached to this end of it. 1t was such
an absurd looking craft that everybody
laughed when its builder put the un-
wieldly thing into the water.
A strong west wind was blowing
The queer boat quavored for second
as it struck the water, then slow) but
steadily came to the wind. The md
mill caught the force of the gale and
began to revolve. Little by little the
boat forged ahead The harder the
wind blew the more rapidly it gained
headway. The forward keel and the
after weather vane kept it dead in the
wind. The absurd little vessel stood
out from the dock until its owner had
to get in q rowboat to capture it.
Everybody cheered and the wager was
declared won. 1t Is quite probable
that the inventor will build boat on
the same principal big enough to carry
him and friend or two. The little
model has created no end Of talk along
the lake shore

An Interesting Samoan Ceremony.

TIE drinking of kava forms one of
the most interesting ceremonies among
the natives OF Samoa. They are gem
orally distinguished by the utmost for
mality, especially if chief is present.
"In such an event the kava is brewed
in the presence of the gathering by a
comely Samoan girl, picturesquely
garbed in bright-colored lava-lava,
garlands of flowers and headdress of
brilliant feathers. The liquor is then
emptied into large bowl supported
by three legs, from which it is dished
up in cocoanut shells. The first to be
served is the chief, who, however,
haughtily rejects the beverage five
times before deigning to partake of it.
After the chief has been waited upon
the liquor is passed around to the re-
mainder of the company, according to
their rank or years, and as each one
is about to receive his portion he claps
his hands, which act is equivalent to
q toast"

1t is said that the study of German
is increasing in France, while the study
of English is on the decline. In the
Ecole des Sciences Politiques, in Paris,
where diplomats are trained, many
more study German than English.
Many young Frenchmen are now being
sent to Germany and Austria instead
of England to get acquainted with the
language of the victors of 1870. In
Paris lycee 143 students study German
to "a English. In another school the
proportion of German to English Is
500 to 1888, In the Marseilles gymna-
