TRACING THE TIDES.
Interesting Experiments Conducted
 by Government Officials.
Valuable Facts Revealed by the Use of Floating Bottles Set Aarift in the 0cean-Resume of the
 Work.

There are several thousand com mon beer bottles floating about in the northern Atlantic and Pacific ocean, drifting with the currents, in the interest of science. The pur- pose is to determine the drift of bodies coming under the influence of the currents of the ocean. Thousands of these bottles, containing minute descriptions printed in seven differ ent languages, are annually thrown into the sea under the supervision of the navy department, with the ex- pectation that many will be found by passing vessels, their location noted, and the fact reported to Washing ton, says recent report.
 Each bottle contains a written di- rection as to what shall be done by the skipper who finds it. He is sup posed to note the latitude and longi- tude where it was found, where it was thrown into the sea, and the probable distance travelled since it was originally thrown overheard.
 Reports received at the navy de- partment for the last fiscal year in- dicate that much valuable informa- tion is being gained by this method
 Recent reports present some re. markable drifts of bottles, several having gone as far as the distance across the ocean and one double that distance. They vary from only a few miles to over 35 day, which is al most the average of the usual dere' lict exposed to the wind and often borne along rapidly by the small DOT tion of woodwork above water serv ing as catch for the breezes. Ons bottle has the record of 4,200 miles traversed in 557 days at the average rate of seven and one-half miles { day. This bottle was thrown over

BEDBUGS SPREAD DISEASE.
Said by Medical Authority to Be as Bad as Mosquitoes in That
 Respect.

Acting Assistant Surgeon s. Hodg- son, of the marine hospital service, be- lieves he has discovered valuable remedy to be used in yellow fever cases, says special dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. Dr. Hodgson has been stationed at Progreso, Mex ico. for two years, and he has made a thorough examination of yellow fever cases there. In letter to Sur geon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service, he calls attention to the fact that while valuabl work has been done in China in demonstrating beyond question that yellow fever can be and is transmitted by the mosquito, and cert / /nly as pestiferous. which may be quite as active an agency in spreading this disease as the mos quito has been entirely overlooked, namely, the eimex. or, as it is popu- larly known, the bedbug.
 "In the tropics" Hodgson says, "thei bedbug is aL-prevailing, and his steal- thy movements are more liable to ac- complish the desired end than the buzz i zing mosquito.
 Among the remedies used in Gen. l tral and South America as an antidote for the stings of insects and bites of snakes, the zed, or bean of cedron, has been found to be specific. Atincture is made from the grated or mashed sed, which is also made into fluid extract. I made tincture from the bean and used it as an antidote for the stings of insects and the bite of a snake, and found that the action was, almost imme diate and the relief com plete. The antitoxic properties of this remedy were so great that I thought it might be of some benefit in yellow fever, and had opportunities to try it in several cases of that dis ease, and from the results concluded it is as specific for yellow fever as qui- nine is for malaria"
 Dr. Hodgson says the cases he treat ed were in Costa Rica. when he was government physician at Jiminez. and while he kept no notes of the cases, everyone treated with the tincture of cedron recovered.
 It relieved the headache, stopped the nausea, and in the cases where it was injected early in the disease there was very little congestion. He used the tineture by hypodermic injections of about 20 minims three times day.

VANDERBILT WEALTH
How It Originated Three Quarters
 of Century Ago
The Founders First Money Was Made with an Oyster Boat - His Wife's Aid In Getting
 Start.

On the high cliffs which skirt the Raritan river just below the canal out let is the famous old Bellonia hotel, where Commodore Cornelius Wander bilt made his start in life and laid the | foundation of his great fortune. The building is dilapidated, but as solid as in the ca y years of the nineteenth century.
 The hotel was built in 1903 by the New York & New Brunswick Steam boat company. With boatmen and shippers it became a favorite resort, and country residents who drove into town hardly felt satisfied till they had dined at the Bellonia. Twice day the coaches of the Trenton line pulled up before the inn.
 In 1923 the Bellonia passed into the hands of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was unknown. except that every day or so he would sail up from Perth Amboy with boat load of fish and oysters and hawk them about the town.
 How did Vanderbilt get the money from fish peddling to buy the Bellonia9 He didn't.
 Early in 1922 William Gibbons, cap italist, made night drive from New York to Perth Amboy. It was imper- ative that he should cross Arthur Kill 10 Tottenville, s. l. The night was stormy. Gibbons besought the ferry man to take him across, but be refused. He then wandered into an old ferry tavern where hardy boatmen were gathered.
 Where's the man with the nerve to TOW me across2" he called out.
 One old salt saids
 Why cap'n, you're daftI"
 Gibbons cried: Name your price; I've got to gol"
 Just then the door swung open and aCorny" Vanderbilt stalked in.
 Vanderbilt ordered drink and swal- lowed it in silence; then be responded: Well cap'n, I'm your man; let's startl"
 Buttoning up his coat, Corny got out his boat, with pair of oars, an oilskin and lantern. The capitalist climbed upon the rear seat and held the lan- tern. Perhaps an hour later the two men, after a perilous voyage, trod Staten Island, soaked to the skin.
 Vanderbilt had just been married, and Gibbons could not persuade him to remain over night on the island. The rich man handed him card, with some money, and told him to call at the steamboat company's office in Battery place when he visited New York.
 Some weeks later Vanderbilt did go and was cordially received. When he was about 10 leave Gibbons gave him . a package and told him to go to 8 wharf, where he would find an oyster smack for his own use.
 With this boat Vanderbilt began tc make money. Not many months later be had saved s2O0 and leased the Bel lonia hotel. Fortune seemed to have smiled upon him. for about the same time he was made captain of the firs' 3 steamer between New York and New Brunswick, the Bellonia, through thu r aid of Gibbons.
 Vanderbilt had plenty of competition Q Opposing lines were started and he hat x to hustle to maintain his preeminence { While he was on the water Mrs. Van ], derbilt cared for the guests who cam, 's to the Bellonia. She frequently tool }: 0 hand in caring for their horses ant sH. divided the rest of her time in look

The wonderful physical endurance of Gen. Fukushima, who is in command of the Japanese troops in China, was thus explained to Frederick Palmer the other day by an officer who is over six feet tall and rather thin: "No wonder Fukushima does not get tired; his heart has to pump blood only about half as far as mine. It is the difference between supplying water to two and four story building"

ties which drifted entirely across the ocean from west to east unite in giv-. ing an average somewhat higher than usual, the last two having travelled IA miles and 9.9 miles per day, re-. spectively. For those thrown over board in the north equatorial drift the average was 1o.s miles day. while those travelling along the north coast of South America averaged q miles a day. A chart of the North Atlantic shows hundreds of bottles drifting about the ocean, which may some time be reported by ships crossing the seas.

TURF sWINDLERs.
Pans Police Have Unearthed Law
 less Gang In France.

Paris, July 3o.-The police here have un- earthed gang of turf swindlers and card sharpers whose operations were charac- terized by extraordinary audacity The first discovery was made at the end of May when horse named Colimacon CThe SnaiD and known as a worthless platter won race at Colombes easily, with the betting 12 to 1 against him.. A week later Colimacon engaged in similar perform ance at Maisens-Laffitte The Jockey Club Investigated the running of Colmacon and found that first-class English race horse had been substituted for the original Colimacon by Belgian named Here boudt, who had previously been warned off the French race courses. The police then took the matter up and discovered that the Belgian was the head of per- feet organization of crooks working in France and Belgium. A majority of the members of the gang had assumed high sounding titles and frequented fast cir cles and clubs. One member brother of well-known Abyssinian explorer, who styled himself Count" was arrested. Two others were self-styled barons and one had given himself the title of Prince" They occupied sumptuous apartments in the Champs Elysee and Madelane Lane quarters to which they inveigled gilded youths and swindled them at baccarat The losses of Prince Kara geogovitch and four other young men of good families who complained to the po- lice alone amounted to s7.OO0 francs. The swindiers owned a yacht called the wes- termin, n board of which their dupes were invited and were subsequently, plucked. The police also traced to the gang the promotion of a number of fictitious min ing and coal companies. The investiga- tions of the police led to the flight of the swindlers. Several of them have gone to Abyssinia. Hereboudt sailed for Holland on board the Westermin. The revelations have caused a sensation in clubland and sporting circles.

Balls and Strikes.

Outfielder Leidy, who has been here nursing broken wrist for several weeks, left yesterday in search of a new pitcher. The management has one. in sight who is said to be a wonder. If he and Leidy can make proper connections they will be back here fin few days and the new twirler will be hurried to join the team. While Leidy is away he will keep his eyes skinned for crack third baseman. One of the directors of the Birmingham club said yesterday that every offort possible would be used to secure more men, espe- cially pitcher or two, and that within week the team would be as strong as any club in the league.
 The batting averages of the league show Birmingham to be right up at the top. The fielding average shows Birmingham to be above par. Then what Is the mat teri" asks a prominent rooter. The only answer can be weakness in the box and hard luck. The latter cannot last always, and with stimulant to the pitching force the boilermakers will yet make some of them wonder how it happened.

8; Birming-
Errors Lost the Game.

Shreveport, La, July 30.-(Special.)- Keefe and Sample engaged in a pitchers battle this afternoon before large crowd. The local cast-off twirled an exceptionally good game. and had not Kalkhoof and Martin made costly errors Shreveport would not have scored in the nine innings.
 Sample received fine support. The two errors cost nothing, while the errors of Kalkhoff and Martin cost three runs, the total number secured by the home team.
 Birmingham had chance to score in the first, with first and third occupied and one man out, but the best La Rocque and Kalkhoff could do was to hit pop-ups to the infield. After that not a Birming ham man got further than second base.
 Shreveport secured two runs in the fifth. Weikart hit for two bags. Spencer hit to Keefe, and the pitcher threw the ball to Kalkhoff to head weikart at third. Kalk- hoff dropped the ball and Weikart was safe, Spencer going to first. Had Kalk hoff held the sphere Weikart would have been an easy out. O'Rourke sacrificed and Weikart scored. Mcclure singled to left and Spencer crossed the rubber
 In the sixth Montgomery hit for three bags, after two men were out, and scored on Hulseman's long fly to Martin, which the left-ielder dropped. The errors o; Kalkhoff and Martin were inexcusable and In all probabilities cost Birmingham the game.
 Two fast double plays by the home team and one by the visitors and the work ot the two pitchers were the features

 missed at Their Request.

Parkersburg. W. Va, July 30.-The FL lis Glenn case was brought to close here this afternoon by Judge Stapleton, who dismissed the jury upon their own re- quest and upon their statement to the court that they could not reach yer dict. Their last ballot resulted in seven for conviction and five for acquittal, and shows that their deliberations since last Saturday resulted only in the winning of one juror to the side of acquittal.
 The case was one of the most sensation al in the criminal history of West Vir- ginia and cost the state thousands of dol lars. The entire case hinged upon the Identification of Ellis Glenn as being the same as one Bert Glenn, formerly of Williamson, w. Va. While Ell.s Glenn appeared in court attired as woman, the prosecution sought to identify her as Bert Glenn, a male.
