ner as the previous ones, with brilliant lmeght views
thrown from a stereopticOn upon screen
The speaker began by saying that the subject OF
the lecture might seem out OF place In a
course upon the Arctic region Yet he had come to the
United States 10 organize expedition for Arctic
poraOn and that expedition would carry on the work
begun by the Challenger in dredging the Arctic seas for
ocean wonders and in determining the course OF the
Arctic currents The lecturer then pointed out upon
chart the Of and he described the pecuarues
of the ocean The equatorial current he said,
sweeping along the eastern coast of south America at
rate Of forty miles day, increased In velocity, until
after receiving the waters of the Amazon 1t attained
rate of 100 miles day From this current branched OF
the Gulf stream which, having traverscd the coast Of
Great Britain returned to the south along the bottom Of
the sea Another branch, turning OF to the coast OF
Greenland warmed its waters and made the voyage 10
the north more practicable for ships The currents OF
air are about the in direction an the ocean currents
and vapor from the water OF the south Is carried
north where congeas aud forms the glaciers OF Green
land which in turn arc melted OIL as icebeegs ana return
toward the south again, cooling the water
The lecturer then described the Voyages OF the
Porcupne and Challenger, and their equipments
for dredging, and catching fish, and the various
animalcu OF the views OF the various forms OF
animal life, the Of many OF which caused the

pupy and soft hardened by being placed In sOn-
ton Of chronic acid The larger animals were kept In
tin cylinders
the OF the lecture, Commander Cheyne spoke
Of the unseaworthyness OF tho steamships plying be
tween New York and Great Britain From balloon the
ships ut the Liverpool docks looked like comets. Their
fault Is lack OF beam IN proportion TO their length The
ships were too long and sailors all knew It, He also
spoke strongly In favor OF the use OF larger number OF
life boats steamships especially In the summer when
the nassenRer traffic IL 30 great.
