Knitting yarn with quarter of an ounce Of blue will
be required for one pair.
With medium-sized hook make chain with the
blue of 20 stitches abOut 8 inches long and unite
into ring. This is for the ankle. Raise the first
II loops with tricoter hook and work backward
and forward on these II stitches for 8
rows. In working back on the second row make

the square and down eside then into each OF the

the right-hand side of the square to the point you
started FROM In each of the corners ut this end of

For tie leg take the white wool and work round
of DC on the blue foundation chain and along the
upper end of the blue square. Work two more
rounds of DC in white, decreasing in each round
by missing stitch at each of the square.
Now work two rounds in treble, still in white,

THE GULF STREAM AND CLIMATE.

DR.. 5. IIaughton has pointed out some of the
effects of the Gulf Stream and It's counter cur
rent, the Labrador Current, upon climate.
The northern hemisphere was warmer than the
southern from latitude % to latitude 3O', and
it was colder than the southern from latitude
400 to Coz The higher temperature OF the
southern hemisphere in the temperate Attitudes
was explained 10y the existence OF three
gulf streams in that hemisphere, while there
was only OF e in the North Atlantic, and par
tial one through Behring's Straits in the
northern hemisphere. The general climatic
effect of the Gulf Stream was therefore to make
the annual range of temperature less but 1t had
no effect whatever upon summer neat, or upon
the lruitng of plants, and trees that required
given July temperature for reproductions The
January temperatures in the North Atlantic at
100 were raised 10y the Gulf Stream, while the
July temperatures remain unaffected. Inc
effect of the cold currents, which were IN
directly caused by the warm currents to pre-
serve the proper condition of equilibrium, was
nothing at all upon the January temperatures,
blit they lowered the july temperatures. Inc
