The United States steamer Blake,
Can't. PiIlsbuTy, arrived IN Charleston
from q successful and satisfactory voy.
are a. submarine explorations covering
several months. The Blake flrst pro-
ceeded TO the northwest Prudence Chan
mel. TO take deep-sea HroundinW, but
soon afterward left there and anchored
IA the Gulf Stream between the F0wey
Rocks and the Bahama Banks, 200 miles
east Of the deepest part q the Atlantic,

Capt Pllsbury two years ago. he
Blake anchored IN 1AS fathoms, andsuc-
ceeded In dredging up large quantity
Of specimens Of animal and vegetable
life. These are under charge Of DR..
Rush, United States Navy, but they
have not Jet been tabulated. Capt
PiIlsbuEy's current motor measured the
spread and velocity Of the currents n
81, Is, 80, SIS, and $50 fakhoms.
Although Capt Pillsbury has not yet
completed the calculation bearing upon
the velocity Of deep sea currents from
data on his charts he says he ID con-
WINGED that IN the lower depths the
change Of the velocity il not 30 great -
toward the surface. The surface cur
rents are stronger with the detection q
the moon, and, % this detection in this
latitude was always greatest at this time
of the year toward the full moon, it fol-
lows that these surface currents are nov
&c their strongest II isplain from hia
observations during the past three
months that the strength Of the current
Of the Gulf Stream IL invariably on The
Florida instead Of the Bahama side d
the stream. He has found the tempera-
ture Of the stream to range from AZ dc.
grees to 81 degrees. The greatest veloc-
ity Of THE stream at the surface Is about
four and one-hah knots, but the duCtua'
tions are frequent and great Capt
Pillsbury says that when his observa'
tions shall have been properly tabulated
and his calculations deducted, he viii b
