Peculiarities Of the Gulf Stream.

Some fresh information about the
Gulf Stream is given by Boston scien-
tist. 1t isa stratum of warm blue water
not more than fifty fathoms deep and it
flows due east at rate that would take
it to England within one hundred days
of Cape Hatteras this northward flow
ing stream is in the form of fan, its
three warm bands spreading out over
the Atlantic surface to an aggregate
breadth of one hundred and sixty-seven
miles, while two cooler bands of an
aggregate breadth of fifty-two miles are
interpOsed between them. The inner
most warm band is the one that shows
the highest temperature and speed. its
velocity being greatest where it is
pressed laterally by the Arctic current,
SO that the rate Of four miles an hour is
occasionally observed. The peculiar
blue color of the water probably is be-
cause the river silt washed into the Gulf
by the Mississippi is held in suspension.

TAGGING At RUGBY.
A System OF Abuse Prscticed Upon Yonns
Scholars.

A System OF Abuse Prscticed Upon Yonns
Scholars.
A very important custom in which
newcomers have to be instructed is
that of tagging. They are purposely
allowed fortnight's grace that they
may carefully study the duties exacted
of them. 1t is with tagging as with
football and hare-and-hounds. Its
greatest days are past. Think of boy
having to warm three or four beds on
cold night by lying in them until the
heat of his body has destroyed their
chill, and then having to rise al four
o'clock in the morning to run two miles
to the Avon to attend to the fishing
lines of the sixth-form boys. and then
to be back in time for first lesson!
Fancy his being obliged to form one OF
of a team of four or twelve in harness,
to be raced around the school-yard, or
''close," by the pr@postors of the Four
finland Club. and compelled to make
flower-beds for the same mighty beings.
having half pewter spoon and a
whole fork for his only garden tools, and
the flowers to be supplied by fair
means or foul! Yet these were few
of the services expected of fags in the
days when "there were giants in the
land" as Rugby song says. Now
they are treated with much more leni-
ENJOY. Only the sixth-form boys are
allowed to have Tags. The younger
boys must wait on there at breakfast,
tea and supper, run their errands to the
nearest pastry-cook shop, clean out
their studies, attend to their wants in
the dormitories, and sometimes ''feld''
for them at cricket. As in several other
public schools, when the sixth-form
boy or prspostor wants anything, he
calls out '.F-a-a-gr' in answer to which
call all the tagging boys must run. the
last to arrive having to do the work.
1t is but for short time. fortunately.
that tagging is really serious and per-
haps tiresome duty. For the rule is
that during boys first term, he must
run at the fint call; during his second,
he need only answer the second, and so
on; so at the end of his second school
year he has comparatively little to do
as a fag.-Elizdbeth Robins Psnneu, IN

built an eight-room addition to her
house, laid the bricks, mixed, made and
applied the plaster with the skill of
mason, rooted it and driven every nail
from the foundation to the top; also
dug well thirty-five feet deep, and
fixed herself so that she will be more
comfortable hereafter. During all this
time she has lived at a cost of nine
cents a day, six cents for q quart of
milk and three cents for loaf of stale
bread. This remarkable woman, whose
name is Mcmahon, has wealthy rela-
tives in New York, and is related to
eminent people on both sides of the
house. She is educated and refined,
dresses plainly but tidily, keeps her
hands soft and white Notwithstanding

Who is afraid? Everybody! There

not more fear in the world than there

could no more do without fear than .
watch could do without its handspring.
Some good and brave boys suffer from
the fear of being afraid; others, from
the fear of being thought afraid. Hav-
ing learned to admire courage and
courageous deeds of heroes, when they
find themselves alarmed at anything,
they say to themselves: .Am l really

Navy, was :;'!''Hn s.a"' of age, the

made up his mind that when war came
he would join the army. One thought

ghost stories in his childhood. In ORDER
to cure himself of his fears, he used to

near his fathers house and walk about
until morning This he did until he
was as much ut ease in the woods at
two o'clock in the morning as he was
in his fathers garden after breakfast.
Although ut first he saw enemies and
ghosts at every step, he persevered
until even these startling experiences
ceased to alarm him. When the war
was declared in 1912. he went to the
front, took part in the battle of Blad-
ensburg, and ran array. with the rest Of
his regiment! But his running away
was glorious, too! 1--WE made a fine

Scenes Of Numerous Indian Massacres-
Subterranean Lakes.
Commencing in the northern part OF
Siskiyou County and running south and
east into Modoc and Plumas counties,
is a succession of lava beds, of which
little is known except by those who
have seen them. As they are actually
beyond description. when described as
wild, desOlate and barren, it does not
give one that creeping sensation which
an actual peep at them does. To cross
one of these lava beds much caution is
necessary. The lava is an Obsidian cast,
very hard, sharp and rough. The up
heaval has been SO violent that great
caves and assures are formed. The
arches of these caves are very danger
OUT to pass over, as the displacement of
a single rock would cause the whole top
or roof to fall in. Subterranean lakes
are found. One was discovered the
past summer near Dry Lake. Modoc
County. This lake is fifty feet wide
and runs back under the cave apparently
a long distance; as the end can not bs
reached no one can tell how far it does
run back. Again, assures and crevices
reaching for miles and several hundred
feet deep will appear. South of Chalk
Mountain there is an immense ice cave,
which contains tons of Zee the year
round. This cave is surrounded with
lava of several different kinds and OF
all shades of the rainbow. Large blocks
of Obsidian or volcanic glass are mixed
in with the lava, making in all a bcauti.
full and wild scene.
Glass Mountain, a few miles to the
northeast. is indeed a great curiosity.
Imagine a terraced mountain seven
thousand feet above the level of the sea
and composed entirely of this volcanic
glass. shining and glittering in the sum
light, casting off the sun rays as if it
were diamond. Terraces, castles and
forts are faithfully represented. A
glance at this mountain by moonlight
is grand; 4 sort of soft, wicrd light is
east on. which fills one with unspeak-
able admiration.
Ice Cave No. 2 is situated from Glass
Mountain north and west twelve miles.
This cave has also an inexhaustible
supply of water and ice. Here our
party found water and plenty of food
for our exhausted animals. After
searching nearly two days for water
this cave was accidentally discovered,
and Godsend it was for both man and
beast. Our party camped here one
night recently, and were kept awake
most of the night by the screams of
several California lions, who came un-
comfortably near our beds, and would
scream and decamp; we had shut of
their water supply. The unearthly
scream of these animals and the howl
ing of several large owls, taken with
the thought of numerous Indian
massacres which had taken place in
this vicinity, caused our brave hearts
to quake.
Ten miles north of Ice Cave are Tule
Lake and Captain Jacks stronghold.
and directly across the lake is the
famous Bloody Point.
Captain Jack rifle pits are of natural
formation in the lava, being sinks and
flows probably five hundred in number.
They command all entrance to the
cave. A handful of men could hold
twenty times their number at bay here

Geology an Unreliable Guide to the Nature
Of Soil.
In choosing land for agricultural pur.
poses it is very unsafe for the farmer to
be guided by any loose notions of the
geological features of the locality. Ge-
OlOgy in this respect and for this use is
one of those things of which little
knowledge is dangerous. There are
few places where the everything soil has
been derived from the breaking down
of the underlying and outcropping
rocks. and these can only be detected
by an expert ge0logist and mineraloeist.
Generally the soil is made up of driftcd
materials. which have been brought
from distant places by the force of
great floods of water or vast bodies Of
ice. and have been spread over The sur
face and moved back and forth in much
the same manner, but to much smaller
extent, as We see them now. 1t IS only
where the rocks lie near the surface
and in the NEST ancient geological
formations, as in Northern Michigan,
Eastern Canada, and all along the Arle.

Diseases in Canada.

Blindness in Canada is commonly
caused by smallpox, cataract, or in
jury. Contagious diseases-such as
smallpox, measles, and whooping-
cough-are more common than in
Europe. especially in winter, when fuel
is saved at the expense of ventilation.
In the whole of Cansda the proportion
of the insane is one to seven hundred
and twenty. Or. Kingston states in =

Canada that the mortality commonly
diminishes with the temperature, and
that the colder parts of the country are
in reality the more wholesome.-N y

EXCITING ELECTIONS.

How Mexican Partisans Fight Parliamsn-
tsry Election Battles.
Parliamentary elections must be rath-
or exciting in Mexico. judging from the
liveliness which accompanies municipal
contests in that delightful country.
Even when local feeling runs high 1t is
rare that these latter struggles give rise
in the United States to anything worse
than strong language. In Mexico, on
the contrary, deeds are considered far
more effective than words, especially
bowie knife. Thus, we read without
surprise that at Buztamente the other
day the two factions turned out heavily
armed, and fought in the streets for
several hours. After a time. too, they
appear to have fired and stabbed quite
promiscuously, without caring whethE
they killed friend or foe. The fighting,
We are told, "was of q perfectly indis-
criminate character. When hostilities
were at last suspended by nightfall the
state of the battlefield demonstrated the
prowess of the combatants. Six dead,
fifteen mortally wounded and a large
number of less damaged Mexicsns were
included in the list of casualties. The
result was not considered satisfactory,
however, from an electioneering point
of view, and the leaders consequently
agreed to renew the struggle on the fol-
lowing morning. We are not aware
how often municipal contests take place
at Buztamente, but If they are of fire.

be in fair way to reach its vanishing
