GULF STREAM Simon New

GULF STREAM HEAr.--Simon New
combs Review of "Crolrs Climate and
Time" in the American Journal Of
Science and Arts. for April, SAYS:
''The influence of the Gulf Stream in
modifying the climate of Northeastern
Europe receives especial attention, and
his views of this influence seem quite
veil grounded. We had supposed the
view that the warm and equable climate
of that region was due to the Gulf
Stream to be one universally held, al
though no one had attempted to render
it plausible by an actual calculation of
the amount of heat conveyed by that
stream. This calculation Mr.. Croll has
made, and having reduced his own esti-
mate of the volume of the stream to
one-half, in Difference to the views Of
some of his opponents, he shows that
the amount of heat annually conveyed
away by the stream is equal to the
whole amount which belt of earth,
sixty-four miles broad. extending all
round the equator. receives from the
sun. We make the quantity a little
less, but yet equivalent to more than
the total amount of heat which falls on
a million of square miles ut the equa-
tor. Making all allowances for the un-
certainties of these data, and for the
fact that only one of the two branches
Of the Gulf Stream passes over to
Northeastern Europe. it must be ad-
mitted that the quantity of heat which
that region receives from the Gulf
Stream is not an inconsiderable fraction
Of that which it receives from the sur" I"

BOB wHTTLOW'S FIRST PATIENT.

How, as q general thing. your doctors
and lawyers get their first patients and
clients is one of the unsolvcd mysteries
/ know how it was in Bob Whitlow's
case.
Bob, after graduating with honor AT
first class medical college, went out
West and picking out popu!ous and
sickly neighborhcod, pitched his pro-
fessional tent, hung out bis shingle, and
boldly offered himself as the healer OF
the people.
His moderate patrinony was barely
sufficient TO meet the expenses of his
collegiate and medical course, having
his sole dependence for the future on
success in the walk of life which he had
chosen.
A few months convinced him that
the immediate prospect was not very
promising. DIR. Chincough had reigued
there for so many years with undiSpu.
ted sway, that the offer Of a young and
inexperienced practitioner to compete
with him was generally looked upon as
a piece Of impertinencc.
True, the heishboring graveyard dis
closed a mortality out of all proportion
to the population; but nobody attribu.

respectful called him. / have already
said it was a sickly region, and Old
Chin had happy knack, moreover
when his patients died, Of laying the
blame to Providence, and when they
didn't, of ascribing to himself the glory
AS for my friend Bob Whitlow, Old
Chin simply ignored his existence.
Things began to look blue for Bob
His board bill fell behind, his Office
rent got in arrears, and unless affairs
took speedy turn an unpleasant crisis
must be reached soon.
One day a well dressed young travele,
fell sick ut the village inn. The land.
lord, with whom Bob boarded, would
fain have gotten the latter into the
case, for the stranger had the appear.
ance Of man able to pay, and If Bot
got good fee the prospect of his board
bill being settled would be decidedly
improved.
Accordingly, when the sick man spoke

q t6e giant pcxls( m;xture.
The explosive pov1er Of giant powder
Is about the same ~ gun cotton, weight
for weight, but cube for cuba the form.
er far excels the latter, and Is more
generally used for the blasting of rock.
1t has done wonders in advancing the
excavation of tunnels and heavy rock
cuts on railways, and has economized
that class of work at least 100 per cent.
over the old style Of blasting with gun
powder. ts
The success of dynamite, or giant
powder, has caused many adventurers
to make up explosive compounds and,
to some extent, these supposed inn
provements have been more or less dis.
astrous, and destructive to life and pro-
perty. Giant powder cannot be explo.
ded by ordinary handling, and If car.
load was precipitated down . hill a
thousand feet it would not explode. If
you set fire to the carload it would burn
freely, but would not explode. If you
explode large percussion cap in the
midst of the giant powder there will be
an explosion Of the powder. The infn-
soria serves as q cushion to whatever
force may be applied to it, and thus .
sharp or close infringement Of great
power must be made, or an explosion
cannot be effected. The nitro-glycerine
does not leak or evapora.e from this 81
licious earth, and this circumstance
further adds to the safety Of the CON-
pound.
Gunpowder and gun Gotten win ex-
plode by spark, but giant powder will
not in that manner. There must be a
powerful explosive force applied to it,
and hence it is far less dangerous as an
article to handle or transport than any
other explosive. Thomassen, the au-
thor Of the Bremerhaven calamity, knew
the safety of dynamite, and hence he
had arranged his clockwork to let fall a
hammer with the force of so lbs. upon q
percussion cap in the midst Of the pow
der, to effect its explosis4pf41.fisss sss
