PIONEER ATLANTIC LINERs-W. j. H,
City. The praclicabilty of navigating the
ocean by steam was proved in 1919 by the
American ship Savannah, which crossed
from New York to LIVERPOOL in twenty-six
DAYS en- route TO ST. Petersburg, Russia, and
arrived at Liverpool on June Goth. She
was commanded by Captain Moses Rogers
Of New London, Conn, who had also COM
manded the Fulton, the first steamship on
the Hudson and the first steam craft to make
the voyage from Charleston to Savannah. !
The ocean pioneer was full rugged ship |
with her paddle-wheels SO arranged that they !
could be shipped on deck IN thirty minutes. |
She carried seventy-fve tons of coal and |
twenty five cords OF wood. Tie wheels were |
frequently taken on deck during bad weather |
in fact she used steam on eighteen only Of |
she twenty-six days The Savannahs log |
is in the Smithsonian Institution in Washing |
ton, and the London Times of June 30, |
1919 had this notice OF her: THE Savan- |
nah, steam vessel, recently arrived at Liver
pool from America, the first vessel Of the |
kind that ever crossed the Atlantic, was |
chased 4 whole day of the coast of Ireland |
by the Kite, a reYenue-cutter on the Cork |
station, which mistook her for a ship on
fire." In 1928 the steamship Curacao |
was built for the Dutch trade between |
Amsterdam ana the West Indies, but |
she was Withdrawn after making sew
eral voyages and the Savannah |
was likewise after her first, because Of the
small gain in speed over the faster sailing
vessels. and also because Of the expense.
wood having been used on the Savannah /
aud soft coal in the Curacao. The cost Of |
fuel prevented further progress until 1888,
when the Great Western Railway Company |
OF England built tie Great Western and the
British and American Steam Navigation |
Company chartered the Sirius, which had |
been running between London and Cork.
Both vessels arrived in New 1ork on April !
25, 1888, the Sirius a few hours in advance |
and nineteen days from Cork and the Great |
Western from Bristol in fifteen days. This |
gave an impetus to tue building Of ocean
steamers
OCEANIC CLIMATEs-F. A, City. The
climates of the sea have been Systematically |
determined, and the extraordinary fact has |
been brought to light that the great mass of |
tile ocean water is cold, or below 40' |
Fahrenheit Even in the equatorial parts Of |
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, though the |
upper LAYERS of water partake IN the heat |
OF the iltertr0pcal latitudes, temperature |
OF 4O' is found within 800 fathoms of the |
surface, while at the bottom, at depths of |
257O or 5000 fathoms, the temperature go |
to 35o FahTenheiO is very little above that |
of the freezing point of fresh water. II has |
been proved that the bottom OF every ocean |
in free communication with the poles has |
temperature LITTLE different from that of the |
in LAT
polar water creeping slowly toward the |
equator under ths upper lighter water which |
moves away toward the poles.

Cherokee, Cal: Analytical geometry is, so |
TO speak, higher part or method of the |
science of geometry employed in the dem

which were already known to be true. In |
