Status of Churches in Germany.

The official order book of church mem
bership in Germany. issued by Pastor
Schneider of Elberfeld, as translated and
reviewed by the Literary Digest, shows
that the number of conversions from the
Roman Catholic church to the Protestant
Is considerably greater than those who
have gone from the Protestant ranks into
the Roman faith. According to this au-
thority, 1878 members of the Catholic
church in Germany became Protestants
between 1890 and 1894, while only 1864
went from Professionalism to Catholicism.
The order book draws attention to the
fact that not only in the empire as a
whole, but in each and every State the
Protestants have been making the greater
gains. Relatively these are much greater
in France than elsewhere.

The famous Illuminated parchment
Bible, produced by the Cluny monks in
France over 200 years ago, has just been
received by its purchaser. J. l.. Morgan
Of New York, who was required TO pay a
duty of $4,000. its value being appraised
at $4,000. Morgan's brokers protested
against the duty, saying that the book
should be admitted free, because it is
printed matter more than twenty years
old. The Bible is about 20x24 inches and
3 inches thick, the cover being of stamped

MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA.

Swedish scientists Investigate the
Phenomena of "Dead Water"
One Of the most curious marine phe-
nomena known to seamen is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors, dead water"

q vessel lose her speed and refuse to
answer her helm. The sailors only
definite knowledge Of Its origin, says
the Scotsman, Is that 1t exists solely
where there Is surface layer Of fresh
water resting upon the salt waters Of
the sea. Several explanations have
been advanced by the captains Of ships
Of the effect of dead water, the COM
monest Of which is that the two water
layers move in different directions. The
true explanation. however, was recent
ly found by Swedish Investigators. At
least so 1t would seem from what fol-
