HOW OCEAN CURRENTS RUN
GOVERNMENT USED BOTTLES,
AND LONG TRIPS WE'RE
MADE BY MESSAGES.

An interesting lot of information
compiled by the United States Hy-
geographic Department relative to
the movement of ocean currents is
shown in the December issue of the
pilot chart of the North Atlantic
ocean.
The knowledge of the currents was
obtained by enclosing memorandum
IN bottles, which were thrown over
board and afterward recovered at dis
tant points, giving correct data of
the speed and the direction of the
rivers of the ocean.
Altogether there were ITO bottles
thrown overheard from ships of diff
ferent nationalities, many of which
were recovered which gave sufficient
knowledge for determining the time,
drift per day, and the direction of the
currents, with the exception that no
allowance is made for the time, prob
ably often considerable, during which
the bottle lay undiscovered upon the
beach
Taken collectively, the report
states the paths folloy ed by these
floating bottles furnish fair concep-
ton of the drift currents of the
North Atlantic. Bottles cast adrift
in the equatorial regions, throughout
which the trade winds prevail, went
easterly in every instance, finding
their way to the windward islands,
the Bahamas or the shores of the
Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico; north
of the 40th parallel the direction
was easterly or east northeast
The recovery of such bottles is,
however, rare, as records of the Hy-
geographic office furnish but ten
since 1883. In one instance a bottle
sent adrift to the southwark of Nova
Scotia (Jan. %, 1900, from the
steamship Degama) was recovered
1,6OA days later at Bermuda, having
apparently travelled ABOUT $3.50
miles at the rate of 81 miles per
the westward of england was driven
into the trade zone, where it followed
the drift along the European and
African coasts and was picked up in
the West Indies after a quick drift
of 5,100 miles in 597 days. Two
bottles sent adrift June 80, 1907,
and jan %, 1904, to the southwark
of Cape Verde Islands took opposite
courses, one drifting to the cost of
Africa and the other drifting to the
shore of the Island of st. Thomas,
West Indies.
The chart shows the track taken
by each bottle from when it was sent
adrift until it was recovered, and
the department has been enabled to
collect considerable data which will
prove invaluable to all navigators of
the deep.

SAMPLES OF. COLD WEATHER
Which Ought to Make Content With the Bamy
Climate of Southwest Georgia.

There is abundant evidence that
the earth is becoming warmer rather
than colder. In addition to the
stricly scientific proof in support of
that view the record of severe cold
winters in the past centuries COM
pared with the present also lends
support to that contention. The rec
ord discloses some curious freaks on
the part of old Boreas, beginning
with the fifth century of the Chris
tian era and extending down to the
present day.
The Black sea was completely COW
cred with ice for a period of 20 days
in 401.
The Danube river was frozen over
so that an army crossed it on the
ice in the year 1852.
The Danube, the Elbe and the
Seine were frozen hard enough to
bear up a heavy wagon traffic over
them for a month in the winter of
S22.
The Adriatic sea was frozen in $50.
There was a snowstorm in Europe
in S74 which lasted from the begin
ming of November to the end of
March.
Nearly all the vines in Europe
were killed by frost in 891 and 1913.
On midsummer day, in 1893, in
England, there was a frost severe
that it destroyed fruits.
The river Pc, in Italy, was frozen
from Cremona to the sea in 1888.
Wine casks were burst and trees
split by the action of the frost.
Loaded wagons crossed the Adrl-
attic sea on the ice from the main
land to Venice in 1884.
The Danube river was frozen to
the bottom in 1886 and remained so
frozen for a long time.
The Rhine was frozen over and
loaded wagons crossed it on the ice
in 1892. Travellers also crossed from
Norway to Jutland on the ice

Coming down to later years the
winter of 1858, while mild in the
United States, was of frightful Sc

in the 18th century the river Pc was
frozen over at Ferrara, permitting
for long time the constant passage
of man and beast. At Constantinople
snow fell constantly for Is days.
The snow extended to Smyrna, the
adjacent districts of Asia Minor, and

Verkoyansk, Siberia, 9O.4 degrees be-

temperature for January is nearly
ga degrees below zero This town
is $50 feet above the level of the sea,
and during the entire winter the
weather is calm and clear.
The year 1916 has remarkable
cold weather record, and is known as
1.-The year without a summer" In
that year there was sharp frost in
every month, and the people all over
the world began to believe that some
great and definite change in the
earth was taking place. The farm

ice and snow were common in June
Almost every green thing was killed
and the fruit was nearly all de-

Painter insisted that the case was
