According to the Boston Commercial
Bulletin, scallops are very scarce in
Rhode Island this year. The law went
off i'll that state the first of this month,
but up to this time the catch has been
very small. The beds planted last fall
have not 3anned out as we'll as was ex-
Dectcd. One reason for this is that the
seed planted last year is said to have
been stolen. Prices range high and there
is no prospect Of better catches. In for
mer years the fishermen had to take their
catch to Providence to sell them, while
this year the buyers have sent agents to
the fishermen to get all they can. These
agents are offering $2.25 per gallon at
wholesale and will take all that is Of
fered At this price only favored few
will be able to have them. The law in
Massachusetts goes off the first of Octo-
Der, but unless the catch is an unusually
large one no lower prices can be expected.
ScalloDs will be found in only the first
class hotels this season.

New System of Electric Heating.

heater and blower. The motor is Of the
standard fan type and is secured to con-

clay tubes wound with fine German silver
wire and covered with an insulating coat
of enamel. The tubes are arranged rad

closed in by metallic casing The heat

these heaters will, it is said, heat 40

DEEP SEA SOUNDING.

DR.. Mill described the Professionalism
sen insulating water bottle. He said
that Prof. Peterson had, in conjunction
with Prof. Nansen, completed a molifca-
ton of his Well-known apparatus for OBJ
tanning samples of sea water without
change Of temperature. The purpose Of
the apparatus was to inclOse a quantity
of sea water at any desired depth, to hold
1T securely. and to bring it to the surface
without any change of temperature ex-
ceeding 1-lOOth of degree centigrade.
The insulation, which was the essentia,
feature of the water bottle, was secured
by series of c0ncentric chambers of
non conducting material, which were ST.
mu!taneously filled with water and so
protected the portion, measuring about
two llters, which occupied the large CEN
tral tube. During last August the water
bottle had been tested by Prof. Nansen
on board the Michael Sars in the sea be-
tween Iceland and Sptzbergen, and at
the greatest depth met with, 5000 metres.
or 1910 fathoms, the insulation was per-

from 5000 meters, and when it came mp
the thermometer read 1885 degrees C.
After five minutes it read 1888, after
nine minutes 1870 and after eleven min
utes 1910. Prof. Nansen had also ex-
perimcntcd with water bottle in which
the insulating material consisted, in adj
dition to the concentric water tubes, of a
ring Of eighty exhausted glass tubes SINH
