their honor by self obliteration, and the
advocates of suicide under such circum-
stances displayed to the world the shining
examples of Cato, Brutus and Seneca.
Modern times and modern sentiment
are not in touch with ancient views regard
ing euthanasia, and under some conditions
in certain portions of the civilized world
the person who takes his own life is not
accorded Christian burial, but is given
sepulture only in the most disgraceful
form. Despite this statistics show that
the despairing and respondent people of
today are as prone to self slaughter as the
philosophic pagans of 1000 years ago, the
only apparent difference being that they
do not announce their intention to their
friends and relatives in advance of bidding
farewell to life.
Innumerable reasons appear in post
norton accounts of these tragedies why
the principals have dared to seek the I'M
known in preference to Drawing the conse-
quences of further existence in this world.
Some die ana make no sign, however,
while others hurry hence laden down with
the terrible burden of remOrse, fear, sor-
row or utter disgust. Ciassed among

Tho Gulf Stream

A dispatch from Washington, dated
the 10th, gives the following interesting
statement in regard to the Gulf stream.
of which we have heard SO much lately:
Observation concerning the reported
change in the direction of the Gulf
stream We're made January ), 1899, by
Captain Nidulich, of the Austrian ba, k
Mattea. the results of which were re-
ceived at the Navy Department to- day
According to the extract from the log
of the vessel: january 8, noon position,
civil date, i'll longitude 74o on 3U~ west.
latitude 80 81 north, exactly noon,
crossed inner edge OF Gulf stream After
about one minute the temperature OF
the water changed from rs degrees. We
were nine and a-haif hours in crossing
the stream, making fifty nine miles
north, 150 west true. Our vessel was
carried by the current nineteen and a
half miles north, 10o east"
THE position OF the inner edge of the
Gulf stream, as given by Capt. Vidulich,n
said Capt. Henry f. Picking, hydro
grapher of the Navy Department,
agrees with that laid down by Prof.
Georgas Pouches in Experience sur les
Courants de Atlantique Nord Paris,
1889. This position is about midway
between Cape Hatteras and Cape Henry
and the observations taken show that
there has been no appreciable change in
the stream. The Gulf stream or current
of Florida has its origin in the Gulf of
Mexico, where its waters, having be-
come heated, are directed across the Ia
hama channel. Leaving this strait, they
run northward and westward along the
coast of Florida, and in latitude 81 de-
grees north take a direction nearly
northeast as far as Cape Hatteras. There
from the entering OF the coast the
western limit Of the current takes a
more northerly direction, while it's bed
continues to run toward the northeast
until it encounters Georges and Nan
tucket Banks. when it's direction be-
comes easterly. A little after, in pass
ing over the southern extremity of the
Grand Bank of Newfoundland, it takes
the direction east IL degrees north and
keeps this direction between the parai-
lels of 80 degrees and 43 degrees north
latitude until it arrives at the meridian
of 36 degrees west longitude. There it
turns to the southeast and to the south.
Turning to the westward of the Azores,
it is lost in the ocean. Its warm waters
have, however, sometimes been found
on the west coast of Europe, and from
it's origin to the west of the Azores it
extends about three thousand miles,
Phases of the NEON exert an influence
on the Gulf stream, and when the
weather is good well-defned line APP
pears to separate the principal from the
counter current, varying from q deep
blue to seagreen and milk, white as the
Florida reef is approached. Leaving
the Bahama channel, the waters of the
Gulf stream have deep indigo color,
and their line of separation from the
green waters of the Atlantic ocean is
perfectly appreciable for a space of
hundred miles.
