OCEAN CURRENTS
The Cause Of Difference In Temperature in
the Atlantic.


the Atlantic
The researches of many observers, as
upon by Dr. Buchan, show that
the ocean currents cause the tcmper.-
ture Of the west side Of the Atlantic,
at depths from 100 to 500 fathoms, TO
be nearly 10 degrees warmer than at
the same depths on the east side. At
500 fathOms, however, the tempera-
lures Of both sides are equal, while Mt
greater depths the east side IS the
warmer. North Of the Wyyil Thomp-
son ridge, which Is between Shetland
and Iceland, stationary temperature Is
reached at 700 fathoms, below which
the water remains at about 295 de-
grees. In the Gulf Of Mexico, the water
grows cold down to 700 fathoms, below
which it is always at about 25.5 de-
grees. The temperature Of the Medlt-
erranean at 200 fathoms Is about 81
degrees, and no change Is found in 90

reaches a depth OF 1900 fathoms.

How Pretty New York Girl Earns Her
Bread and Butter.
The most curious occupation I have
heard Of lately is that of a young wom-
an who earns her bread and butter by
being photographed, says writer in
the New York Advertiser. Not for her
face and not for her figure, except In SO
for as by means Of these she may the
better display pretty gown. II has
been business occupying a small num-
Der OF women in Paris regularly for
some years back to pose for sketch art
lists or before the camera for the COM
position Of the fashion plates sent out
with the more expensive French fashion
magazines. Nothing Of the sort has
been done in New York until lately,
American fashion publications either
copying their pictures from French and
English periodicals. directly or topping
out gowns with fancy headpieees-a
very barren and inane fancy commonly
or calling the first girl who came In
sight from the worlSroom TO be immor-
talized.
Latterly there has been demand for
fashion pictures which looked lifelike
and not wooden, and the utmost diff
Guilty has been experienced In getting

be appealed TO TO lend their features
and their figures for the purpose. A

charms Of new tea gown one day re-

the magazine's readers might recognize
the model. The professional fashion
model will be an institution shortly.
The young girl spoken of is already In
the field. She poses on divan as care
fully as for an academy picture to bring
out her own best points and those of an
evening gown. She plays tennis, she
poises an alpenstoclr. Just now she Is
