MORE THAN 800 BRANDS
OF MINERAL WATER SOLD.
Total Of $54, 1853, ,466 Gallons Bottled
and Marketed Last Year---Value
$4,892. 1928.

There are more than eight hundred
different kinds of mineral waters on
the market, and 54.35S, ,466 gallons, val
ued at $4,S92, 1928, were bottled and sold
in the United States last year, accord
ing to the annual report just made pub
lie by the United States geological sur
vey few days ago.
Against this the total import of min
eral waters during 1914 amounted to
& 2,726,142 gallons. valued at 1857 ,707, a
decrease of IL per aent.in quantity and
10 per cent. in value from the preced-
ing year. The domestic mineral wa
and table use. and ranged in compost
tion from the purest of table beverages
to the strongest mineralized waters in
the country. In addition to this guam
tity, 6,261.7 .743 gallons of mineral water
was consumed in the manufacture Of
"soft drinks .
The latter quantity does not begin to
represent the entire production of soft
drinks, but only that part made from
mineral waters. by far the greater part
of the favored drinks being compound
ed with municipal or private supplies
not classified as mineral waters. One
change that has been taking place
since 1906 is the drop in the price per
gallon from II cents in 1906 to cents
in 1914. This has been due, partly, to
decrease of price of individual waters,
bue mostly to increased sales of low
priced table waters, and decreased sale
of high-priced mineral waters reputed
toh ave peculiar medical properties.
The value of table waters sold in 1914
was $3,593,S sci, while that Of medicinal
waters was $1,29S,437
The State of New York leads in the
number of commercial springs, in the
quantity and total value of water sold
and in value of table waters, though il
is far behind in the value of medicinal
waters,in the sale of which California
takes first rank Indiana and Virginia
are also notable porducers of medici-
nal waters. In value of table waters,
Wisconsin is second only to New York.
and is followed by California. Maine
and Pennsylvania. Sales were reported
from every state in the Union except
Arizona and Idaho
Though the importation of mineral
water has decreased annually since
1911, the drop in 1914 was more than
might be attributed to decreased de-
mand for foreign waters, any of which
may be duplicated in their essential
characteristics in this country. AS in
previous years, more than two-thirds
of the imported water came from
France, Germany and Austria Hungary
The trade withFrance increased about
10 per cent. and that with Germany de-
creased about 40 per cent from that
in 1913. In spite of war conditions,
the rate of importation was greater
between July and December than be-
tween January and June.
Mineral water is one natural product
for which the United States is not nee
essarily dependent on Europe.

''CR|BBING' INQUIRY IS
PRACTICALLY COMPLETE
Naval Court Expected to Finish
Taking Testimony Today.
In DEFENSE OF NELSON.
Several Witnesses Examined This Morn
ing Concerning Character Of
First Classman.

The court of inquiry into the goug-
ing scandal at the Naval Academy will
practically draw to a close this after
non, as far as the taking of testimony
is concerned, and from all indications
the arguments will be made on Mon
day and Tuesday.
The courts time this morning was
devoted entirely TO further defense OF
Midshipman Ralph Nelson. member OF
the class recently graduated, and who
Is cne OF the original seven defendants
recommended for dismissal In this
connection Graduate Midshipmen Kiely
and Farnsworth, classmates of Nelson,
testified as to Nelson's standing both
from the standpoint of mentality and
honor and integrity.
Farnsworth, among other things,
affirmed previous witnesses that Nell
son was among the brightest men I'm
the class, and, in his opinion, should
have been the leading scholar, and
also spoke of his willingness TO aid
members of the lower classes. AS to
Nelson's moral character. both wit
nesses said it was very good.
Graduate Midshipman Adams ,presi-
dent of his class, was recalled before
the court and testified that he had new
er conversed with Midshipman Nelson
on the point that he asked Nelson to
resign. This is a matter that was re-
ferred to by a graduate midshipman.
who was a witness some days ago.
To satisfy themselves of the circum
stances of alleged illegal entry of the
Department of Modern Languages, and
the supposed theft of the examination
papers that brought about all of the
trouble. the members of the court,
just before the usual recess today,
journeyed over to Maury Hall, where
the rooms of the department are loca-
ted, and made a complete inspection
of all surroundings. The investiga-
tors paid particular attention to the
desks and the character of their locks
some of which, it is said, furnished
evidence that they had been tampered
with on one or more occasions, to-
gether with the several drawers, the
one in particular in which the sets OF
papers were deposited.
There is evidence in the record be-
fore the court that this drawer was
gotten into in some way, as a result of
which the party or parties, pilfered
the papers that later got into the
hands OF the midshipmen, or, as the
evidence shows. were sent through the
mail to Midshipman Moss.
