|f Fafhom fV!©fer\ f J I New Device to Tell the Depth of X 4 > Water. ♦ To tell the exact depth of water be neath a vessel at any given time at a moment's notice is the object of an in strument recently perfected, known as the fathom meter, says the New York Herald. The fathom meter is circular in form, and in the center is a suspended circle, which is set in gimbals, after the fash ion of an ordinary sea compass. This circle has a frame of glass nud Is grad uated into half degrees and fathoms, which are pointed out by an indicator. In the center and running clear across is a small magnet. Connected with the instrument is a primary cell, from which a sufficient current can be ob tained when it Is desired to energize the magnet. The earth being also a magnet, Its magnetism t or zero, is ob tained, and when the Instrument is properly adjusted and the circuit Is closed an observation taken from it on board of a moving ship Bhows imme diately the difference of the earth's magnetism at that point. The principle upon which the invent or worked was that, as the earth is a magnet, with another smaller magnet in the Instrument, the indicator would | FATHOM METER. point out and register on the dial the exact distance which there may be at that moment between the greater and the lesser magnet, evidently the exact depth of water under the vessel. As soon as his model was ready the Inventor of the fathom meter prepared to test It and for that purpose went on a steamer from New York to Newport News and back again. He placed the fathom meter in the captain's room, and there he was shut in with it: At intervals during the trip the captain in structed an officer to throw the lead and take the depth of water, and as soon as the officer made the report the captain went to the inventor and ask ed him, "Well, what depth are we in now?" The answer on each occasion was prompt and correct, the indicator pointing unerringly to the number of fathoms beneath the vessel. Any one who knows how the depth of water is at present taken on board ship will see that an instrument like this, if further tests bear out the claims of the inventor, is bound to prove useful. With the lead it is nest to impossible to obtain absolutely cor rect measurements, for the reason that while the measurements are being taken the vessel Is moving, and the lead is consequently inclined. Before the lead is thrown the vessel slackens up a little, but it still keeps moving onward. Now by means of the fathom meter the exact depth can be ascer tained, no matter at what speed the vessel is running, and hence it will be seen that a great deal of time can be saved, and no allowance need be made for the inclination of the lead. The entire apparatus does not occu py more space than an ordinary type writer. In regard to submerged wrecks and similar dangers the inventor claims that his Instrument, by indicat ing the depth of water at a moment's notice, will give timely warnings of such dangers and will enable captains to avoid them. Tunneling the Bosporus. One of the most impracticable engi neering schemes apparently is that of tunneling the Bosporus. There is an enormous traffic between the two sides of the Bosporus, and the delays-caused by the opening and shutting of the bridge for boats, which forms now the only means of communication, is a great drawback. A railroad company Is now constructing Its lines on both sides, but this is of little avail until the'llnes can be connected. Tunneling by the ordinary way Is hindered by the fact that the water Is extremely deep, with 20 Or 30 feet of mud at the bot tom. In order to solve the problem, it is proposed to suspend or float a tun nel about 35 feet below the surface of the water, allowing uninterrupted pas sage to vessels of the largest tonnage. The Golden Horn has no tide. The tunnel is to be a wrought iron tube about 10 feet in diameter and 1,200 feet ! long, and the gradient at each end Would be 50. It would weigh about 600 tons; maximum weight of any train, 400 tons; concrete and lining, to over- | come buoyancy of the tube, 1,700 tons; water displacement, 2,700 tons.—New York Sun. Microbes In Wine. Professor Wortmann of Vienna ar gues that the changes that occur in bottled wines in the course of time are due largely to the presence in them of living organisms. He opened several well corked bottles recently that had been lying undisturbed for 25 years. On examination he found the wine to contain many microbes and bacteria, some dead, but most of them alive and able to sit up and look cheerful. Ho says that different kinds of microbes have different effects on the wine, and it depends upon the nature of the mi nute organisms that are bottled up with it whether the effect is good or bad.—Practical! Druggist.

Just at present a lot of imported fuelling cac i tl are creating something of a sensa tion. Regarding them Professor Smith makes the following satement in the Ban Francisco Chronicle: Several years ago while traveling in southern Europe and northern Africa my attention was attracted by the very large and delicious cactus fruits which abounded on the fruit stands and were peddled on the streets of the town®. Conceiving that this might prove a PEAR CACTUS. valuable addition to California's al ready, long list of fruits, 1 collected seven of the best varieties obtainable. These were forwarded to the gardens of Timothy Hopkins at Menlo Park, where they, were caredi for until ready for setting out. The plants have grown equally well in the several parts of the state to which they were sent. Last year they fruited lightly, but the present season some of. them have borne such Im mense crops that the branches have been broken under the weight The fruits vary in color from bright car mine to yellowish orange. They are pear shaped, oblong or pearly.' round, according to variety. Some of them measure five Inches in length and eight inches in circumference and weigh full eight ounces. They should always be allowed to ripen thoroughly, picked in the early morning and kept In the shade, as they are slightly in sipid when warm. The fruits of the red varieties are most gorgeously col ored when peeled. The Spaniard, Sicilian or Arab who, from necessity or taste, makes a habit of dining o/x cactus fruit carries a small piece of leather with a strap over the back, under which his fingers can be slipped. With this leather he grasps the fruit. The ends are slashed off with a sharp knife, and a pronged stick or fork is securely stuck Jnto the side. The fruit is now held erect and a lengthwise cut made in the skin, which is turned back both ways, ex posing the ruby or golden heart, as the case may be. In a twinkling this dis appears down his throat in much the same fashion as a raw oyster Is ewal towed. This deft operation is repeated eight or ten times, when the curbstone diner saunters offi with a Chesterfield ian air, "Nothing can harm me now," and all for 2 cents. An ardent devotee of the new fruit has improved on the Spanish method. He jabs a pointed stick firmly into the blossom end of the fruit, slices the peel from the stem in four sections and turns these back in orange fash ion. The trick of it all is to prevent getting any of the little, irritating, fuz zy spines which cluster on the peel in your fingers or mouth. The spines are not nearly so numerous as they are on the common prickly pear and for the most part can be easily removed by gently brushing the fruit before or aft er It Is picked. In addition to being flelicloug eating, a palatable drink, ex cellent jelly and Other delicacies are motto.from the pulp. The • juice, which Is of a brilliant hue, is sometimes used as a water color and as a harmless col oring for desserts, candies, etc. There are about 150 species of the Opuntia, or prickly pear, all natives of fche&jmeriean continent, scattered from New Sort State to Peru. Many, oi these bear edible fruits, but ,verg few are of a size and flavor to make them useful as food. The original stock of opuntia, Or no palea, as the section in question Is now called, was probably carried from Mex ico or. the West Indies to southern Eu rope by the Spaniards in early days for 'the dual purpose •of furnishing fruit and host plants for cochineal insects. In Algeria many useful and orna mental articles are made from the old iwood. The nopalea plants at Palo Alto are five feet In height, and the flat, jointed branches are of a deep green color, smooth and practically devoid of Bplnes. Q?he inconspicuous flowers ap pear In early summer, and the fruit ripens from September to December, ffhe plants come Into bearing the third year from planting. When there is a tendency to overproduce, the fruit Should be thinned. This improves the size and flavor. An acre of plants In full bearing would probably yield from eight to ten tons of fruit. Firefly Light. The light of the firefly is estimated to be 100 per cent light. But so far the secret of its light has not been found.
