Work for the Children.

Now that the season has arrived when
children delight to press ferns and
leaves, it is we'll to encourage them in so
doing by providing them with press.
Inns Is, or may be, very simple con-
trlvance, and yet effective. A perfectly
successful one is made of two strips of
thin board, each about yard long; on
one OF these boards spread several
newspapers; If flowers or the more deli
cate ferns are to be pressed, put cotton
under them and little over them; put a
paper also over them; then lay the other
board on and press tightly by means of
four clamps put on at the corners. In
thls way autumn leaves may be pressed
SO that they will keep their color, and
forms also seem to lose nothing by the
process. With little care in placing
the cotton under the leaves of the
pansy, 1t may be pressed and used in
making winter bouquets; or if the
young folk in the family are engaged in
this, let them cut some pieces of card.
board, and after the pansies are per.
fectly dry, fasten them upon the cards
with very little mucilage. These cards
may be tied together in the form of
little book, with tissue paper between
the leaves, or they may be kept in
portfolio made for this purpose. Cover
for the little books or portfolios ar,
pretty made of canvas with pastchoar,

THE GULF STREAM.
Another Theory Relative TO it's Formation
The Water in the Gulf.

Among the interesting papers read at
the meeting of the American Science
Association in Philadelphia was one by
Professor J. E. Hilgard on "The Rela-
tive Level of the Atlantic Ocean and
Gulf of Mexico, with Remarks on the
Gulf Stream and Deep Sea Tempera-
ture." The formation of the bottom of
that part of the Atlantic Ocean which is
adjacent to the United States and takes
IN the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
Sea has been for years a special study of
Professor Hilgard. No year passes with
out adding to his information and
knowledge of this subject. A fact, how
ever, which he brought to the knowledge
of the Association, and which he has not
hitherto made public, is that he has
found the difference of the ocean level
between the mouth of the Mississippi
River and Sandy Hook to be not less
than forty inches. Taking into consid-
Grafton the peculiar formation of the
sea bottom east of the Antilles, which he
illustrated with the aid of fine model,
and the difference of the sea level be-
tween the Gulf of Mexico and the Allan
tic Ocean, he did not think it improbable
that these two factors working together

the difficulty of measuring the Gulf
Stream with any degree of accuracy, and
thought that the velocity ordinarily at

eight miles an hour, was too great. The
theory that ocean currents were pro-
duced by cold polar currents moving
southwark at the bottom of the sea and
warm equatorial currents moving north
ward near the surface of the water he
declared to be unsupported by facts. He
showed, for instance, that the water at
great depths of the Gulf of Mexico was
colder by several degrees than the water
which flowed into the Gulf through sub |
marine channels, the depth of which |
was much less than that of the bottom |
of the Mexican Gulf. How to account |
for low temperature at great depths in |
the Gulf he declared to be problem yet |
remaining unsolved. In the course of |
his remarks Professor Hilgard said that
on account Of its geological formation the
whole submarine plateau adjoining the
coast line of the United States ought to
be termed the North American Gulf, for
it virtually belonged to that continent.

The Peanut Business.

One of the most important industries
Of the New Virginia is the cultivation
and preparation of peanuts. In the pop
ular mind this unpatricfan fruit is the
product of North Carolina, whose citi
zens possess not only the descriptive
name Tar heel, but answer to the eu
phonious title 'Goober-grubber." Even
in North Carolina, however, before the
late war peanuts were grown only II
small garden patches, and it was only
because the Yankee soldiers learned tc
like them and created demand when
they returned to the North that the gar
lien patches have broadened into farm
fields. North Carolina never "caught
on" however, and contributes almost
nothing to the trade yet.
The counties that lie in the Southeast
I'm Underwater" corner of Virginia, how.
yer, adopted the culture of peanuts
vigorously, and the product has multi.
plied five times during the last ten years.
Virginia now sends to market over two
millions of bushels annually, for which
he farmers receive as high as a dollar
and eighty cents a bushel in some cases.

is no waste. 1t is expected, therefore,
hat it will be tried outside of the limited
region now occupied, in Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee.
The preparation of the peanut for
market is carried on in factories, the
most Important of which are at Norfolk,
where the fruit is graded, cleaned of
lust and polished by steam machinery.
Norfolk is the largest peanut market in
