DRIFTING BOTTLES.
(live Valuable Information ns to tfie
Ocean Current
Washington Spec. Baltimore Sun:
Somo valuablo Information respecting
ocean currents has been obtained by
tho Naval Hydrographlc ofllco through
floating bottles thrown overboard by
steamers and recovered by passing
ships, which report tho exact points nt
which they wero found. Frnqucntly
tho bottles nro picked up and again
tossed overboard after tho latltudo and
longttudo and tho number of tho bottlo
havo been noted, so that tho ofllco In
Washington mny know tho dlroctlon
taken by tho bottlo since put Into the

this way tho direction It has drafted
nnd tho strength of tho current enn bo
accurately estimated. Thcro aro somo
rccnt returns which Bhow that bottles
havo floated thousands of miles, nnd
ono has a record of covorlng 2,400 mllo3
In 92 days. This bottlo was tossed
overboard front tho steamship Furst
Bismarck on May 1, 1898, about 350
miles southeast of Capo Race, and re
covered on Aucttst 1 in tho vicinity
of Gluck stndt, on the Elbe. Tho dlb
tanco botween the two points, follow
ing tbo routo through tho English
Channel, is about 2,400 miles, giving
2C miles as tho lowest posslblo estlmato
of tho daily averago velocity with
which the bottlo traveled eastward.
Tho longest dlstanco mado by any bot
tlo wns ono thrown from tho steam
ship Electrician, which covered 0,300

nvcrago of nenrly six mllc3 n day. An
other bottlo traveled 0,000 miles In 671
days, or nn averago of eight knots,
while another mado n.OOO miles In 327
days, or an averago of 15.3 knots a day.
Another good record for n bottlo Is 300
miles In 10 days, or nn avorngo of 18.S
knota a day. In conducting Its experi
ments tho navy department has had
tho co-operation of tho Russian gov
ernment, which on tho cruises of two
of its vessels had thrown In tho sea
703 bottles, of which 30 hnvo been re
covered and reported. Taken collco
tlvcly, tho paths followed by thesa
flontlng bottles glvo a good Idea of tho
drift currents of tho North Atlantic.
Tho motion of tho waters seems to bo
westerly, as Is evident by tho destina
tion of tho numerous bottles cast adrift
between Madeira and Cape San Roque,
all of which ultimately found their
way to tbo Windward Islands, the Ba

of the lloers.
Dr. W. J. Leyds, secretary of stato
for tho Trnnsvnal, Is likely to glvo
Joseph Chamberlain, colonial secretary
of England, many n troublesomo hour
before tho Boer Is anglicized. Dr.
Leyds is described as a mnn of pecu
liarly strong personal power, gifted
with a persuasive tongue, nud fully
alive to tho fact that the Boer and tho
Englishman can never agrco. Dr.
Leyds Is particularly known for his
hatred of everything English. Ho Is
tho statesman who visited Germany
and secured from Emperor William
recognition of the independence ot tho
TranBvrtnl republic. Tho emperor
promised him that ho would appoint
to tho Transvaal a German resident
instead of a consul. That Is the way
In which tho Independence ot tho
Transvaal Is acknowledged. Emperor
William likes the man, for ho decorated
him somo eighteen months ago, nnd
other honors wero shown him. Ho Is
considered one of tho very nblcst mem
bers of tho Transvaal government.
President Kruger Intrusted to him tho
negotiations with Germany which havo
been in progress for somo months past.
These negotiations nro of a naturo by
which In reality Dutch and German
interests becomo as ono In tho South
African country, and make tho task of
England In conquorlnp tho Trnnsvaal
all tho moro difficult. Tho friendship
of Emperor William for President Km-
gcr has been Inspired by Dr. Leyds.
Tho doctor Is now in Holland, whero ho
has also aroused public sentiment nnd
secured action in tho form of protests
to Queen Victoria against tho carrying
out of tho Chamberlain program In tho
Transvaal. Dr. Leyds Is of Dutch de
scent, but Is not a Boer.
LONELY ISLAND HIS HOME.

"There nro some queer freaks In tho

recently, relates the Mexico Two Ro
publics, "and ono of thorn lives on tho
west coaat of Mexico. Ho 1b nn Amerl
can, according to all reports, but so
far no ono has succeeded In penetrat
ing' tho mystery that surrounds him.
Down toward tho Isthmus, not far
from tho mainland, la a small Island,
and It Is on this that tho American
lives. Very few pcoplo know how long
ho has been there. Tho Indians nil
know him, but none of them enn tell
anything about his first coming. Ho
has resldod on tho Island for so many
years that ho has becomo as much of a
flxturo as tho rugged rocks that stand
out on tho coast. I snw him onco on
the mainland, as ho camo to a little
vlllngo to procuro supplies. About
four times a year ho make3 a trip to
somo vlllngo on tho mainland to buy
such things as ho needs. Ho never has
anything to sell and alwuys pnys in
gold-dust, the origin of which lu as
much of n mystery as tho man himself.
His nppearanco Is patriarchal now, Ills
long gray beard, whlto hulr nnd wild
look mako him nn object of great curi
osity to a stranger. Ho speaks Span
ish brokenly, but with an accent thnt
docs not betray his nationally. His
complexion Is dark, probnbly duo to
tho rays of tho sun, but ho has a cer
tain air about him that Indicates ho Is
not a Mexican. Thero has often boon
much speculation as to whero his gold
camo from. Many think ho hnB a se
cret rnlno on the Islaud which ho
works from tlmo to time. Explorers
who have visited tho Island, however,
report that it is barren, and gives no
Indication of mineral deposits. It Is
(aid that the old man lives In a cave
In tho rocks, and that his food Is birds
nnd fish. Ho Is well armed nnd always
buys considerable ammunition on his
trips to tho mnlnland. A number of
tines peoplo havo tried to draw him
out, but ho refuses to talk ot his past
or present mode of life, nnd such at
tempts aro leldom made now. Ha la
entirely alono on tho Island nuA seems
to love his solitude. Ills trips to nnd
from tho island aro mado in an old
hip's boat, which ho has had ever
slnco tho prceent generation has
known him. His expert handling ot
tho sails and oars lends somo to bellevo
tnat at ono tlmo he was n sailor.
Many think that ho Is the solo sur
vivor of n shipwreck that occurred on
the coast about forty years ago. Among
tho legends ot the coast Indlnns Is ono
which tells of tho wreck of n big ocean
vessel one stormy night and ot tho loss
of every soul on board. Thcro Is n
superstition that at times this vessel
sails along tho cotmt nt night and
flnnlly strikes a rock and goes down,
just no It did so many years ago. It is
eald that tho moans and cries of tho
passengers and crew can bo heard at
these times. Thcro nro other pcoplo
who say that tho old man's Bolf-ban-lshment

sure, aud probably never will bo.
Meantime tho old man continues to

DO NOT SUFFER FROM HEAT.
Heerorn Cilu Slnud the Run' ltajri, but
Knjny Cooling Their licit.
From tho Florida Times-Union: It
tins often been said thut tho capacity
of tbo negro race for enduring heat has
never been fully tested. An Incident
related by a dairyman living In tho
outskirts of tho city ticcms to bear out
this assertion. Ho has u young negro
boy who looks after tho cattlo and
docs tho chores around tho place. Tho
only effect that tho heat produces In
his caso Is n desire to slumbor. Tho
dairyman had a young calf In tho
I barnyard and as tho sun wns pouring
In on tho poor animal his wlfo Bont
"Carllnu" out to turn tho calf looso,
so thnt he could seek a shady spot. Aft
er waiting nn hour .for his roturn tho
housowlfo went to tho barnyard to in
vestigate. Thoro sho found both boy
and calf curled up in the stifling barn
yard. Tho calf was dead from tho ef
fects of tho sun, but tho boy was slum
bering peacefully by its side. Whllo a
negro can stand any amount of heat
on his head, ho loves to cool his heels.
It Is a common sight In tho winter to
see a negro boy on n frosty morning
with his head bundled up to keep out
the cold and at tho same tlmo walking
unconcernedly along tho frosty ground
In his bnro feot. Ono ot tho hottest
places in tho city on n hot day Is at

sun; at tho samo tlmo they get tholr
feet under tho uhadow.of some friend

A l'rlni'D'n Dilemma.
Tho German emperor likes to study
tho characters of his group of small
sons, and to that end has given them
a room next to tho ono used for busi
ness purposes for himself. A certain
great scientific mnn, having on ono
occasion nn lntcrvlow with tho em
peror, left hlo hat In tho adjoining
vestibule. Thoro tho llttlo brothers
discovered It; and tho crown prlnco,
explaining to tho younger ones that
"papa" sometimes sat on his opera hat
nnd it camo nil right again, proceded
to glvo n practical Illustration of this
stntoment, to tho ruin of tho beaver.
Tho omperor'fl door suddenly opened
nnd "papa" nnd tho professor appeared.
Llko n manly llttlo fellow tho crown
prlnco owned up, apologized to tho

for tho old gentleman a now hat with
