ANOTHER WITNESS IU OVK LUbO.
In ante-bellum days it wit a matter of f
every day occurrence to tee the start and
tripes Moating in everr harbor of any
prominence in the civilized world. F.ng
ltnd began to dread that tier supremacy ou
the high teas was forever gone, and the
facts of the limes pointed to America as the
great maritime nation of the globe. Things
have slightly changed since theu. Our
smart American legislators, who were
wined and dined by the ship-builders and
manufacturing monopolists on Ihij side of
the waters, finally passed in their behalf
tho navigation act. and by its terms unhss
vesM'ls were built hero lln-y could
not sail under the American
ting. It was useless to insist
that our enterprising seamen und shippers
could buy vessels lar cheaper in Europe,
and yet continue to build up the American
maritimo interests by carrying the Ameri
can dag and pocketing .the profits of the
trade. The act was passed, and for the
sake ol a few American ship-builders the
merchant murine of the United .Slates was
swept from the high-sens almost absolutely
in live or teu years thereafter. It has been
a source of regret and humiliation to those.
A merlcnii9Wbo'ant to see the U nited Sluti t

but such it is, and all we can do
now is to right tho wrong at

South American republics exhibited uny
commercial activity or manifested any de
airo to open up commercial relations with
us. Tlio extension of our railroad system
into Mexico, thus bringing tho Central
American states nnd the western coast of
South America closer than ever before to
us, has been turning tho attention of our
southern neighbors as well as ourselves to
this trado between tho two countries and
its mutual advantages, Dut when tho
moans for transacting this business, for di
rectly carrying on tho intercourse, are
looked for, they nr not at hand.
Tho merchant marina of America has
vanished, und strangers must lie culled

Considerable dill'crenco of opinion ns to
the color of perfectly pure water has hith
erto prevailed, and the investigations of
.nr. ictor .Meyer, a tieriuun ixperimenter,
may I hen-fore not bo uninteresting. In
the course ot his experiments he found that
ihe color of perfectly pure water is neither
blue nor green, hut a shade between the
two. In order to ihnionstrale this, he took
live glass i ubes, about. Ill im-h in diameter
and about 3 leel in length, which he eon
neutfd by means of rubber tubbing,
thus tunning a I uhe about 2,'i feet long.
Hot" ends of this tube, Were closed wllh
glass phiies titled in mental sockets, the
latter lii-i-ig furnished with briiss iiomhs
'or tilling the tube with water. The luhe
iii-elf was placed in an exactly horizontal

I ' pan looking through the tube the field of
vision a npeureii pir'ivtly colorless, the
cloth nnd the metal sot-kola preventing tho
color of the glass from exerting nnv influ
ence. I'pon Idling tho tube with distilled
water, however, an intense bluish-green
was observed, which he considered tube
the color ol perfectly pure Wuti-r.
