The Gulf Stream.

This is a new question which | think
j. pregnant with strange and far reach
ing possibilities, which opens up new
field for study and Investigation, The
Gulf Stream starts on the equator ON
the nortbeast coast of South America.
flowing northwest through the Chrri-
bean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. 1t flows
into the Atlantic Ocean between the
island of Cuba and the strait of Florida,
Il vast river of warm water Here 1t
changes its course to northeast fiowing
parallel with and about one hundred
miles from the Atlantic and New Eng
land States, and in fact keeps about this
distance from the coast until ii reaches
\eA foundland. The remarkable feat
ure of these Atlantic Ocean currents
is that inside OF the Gulf Stream close TO
the coast of the United States flows
cold polar current in an opposite direc-
ton. This cold current is responsible
for the severity of our New England
climate, our long cold winters and cold
northeast wind, because it neutralizcs
any advantage that we might receive
from the Gulf Stream, if this polar cur
rent was not there. Now the question
may be asked, where does this current
come from, how does il happen to he
there: Can it be prevented from being
there: If we foil Nv this POLAR current
up we shall find that it flows out of the
Gulf of st. Lawrence.
If we 90 farther north we shall find
flowing down the west coast of Green
land, through Balin's Bay and Davis
Strait, and along the northeast coast of
Labrador until it reaches Belle Isle
Strait w.her it enters the Gulf of st.
! Lawrence. Now the question for our
modern engineers to answer is, can this
! cold polar current of water be prevented
/ from entering the Gulf of st. Lawrence
| through Belle Isle Strait, Remember
that we live in an age that is remarkable
| for siupendous engineering aud meclian
! ical achievements, that the age in which
we live is accomplishing more in one
wear than could be accomplished in five
! hundred years with all of the knowledge,
tools, implements and machines that
| the artisan could control two hundred
years ago. The map shows that the
| Belle Isle Strait is about as wide IA HE
| River st. Lawrence IA little below Que
bee. consequently the job that is called
| for here Is small when compared with
! the Suez canal and yet OBJ that couli
prevent this cold polar current OF water
from flowing through Belle Isle Strait
would benefit vastly more people than
the canal, as it would benefit not only
the British Provinces and Canada but
the Atlantic coast from Maine to
Florida. and | believe that it would
take away from our New England eli
| mate that death dealing weapon which
the consumptive stands so much in fear
of.

Variations of a Jest

That there is very little that is new
under the sun is shown perhaps more
frequently in the Jokes that are told
than in anything else. \ story has been
going the rounds OF late concerning the
trepidaton of a small boy, who upon
being asked rather gruilly by his school
teacher who discovered America, began
to whimper and instinctiyely blurtcd
out,
''Pplease. sir. it wasn't me :"
This has its counterpart in an amusing
school-boy tale tol many years ago by
an English teacher who believed in the
powers of the birch to restore fading
memory. Having asked one of hi,
scholars the question, "Who made thi,
glorious universe: the boy replied. 81
don't kLow, sir
Come" said the teacher, taking NJ
his switch, YOU must know. Tell me
or shall whip you
The boy looked at the whip "A moment,
and then with characteristic snive
confessed,

In the municipal court of Pllinield,
y. j.. recently, were two offenders both
charged with being drunk and disorder
ly. Both were adudged guilty and one
was sent to Jail. The other pleaded with
the Judge for clemency, saying that he
had a wife and family dependent upon
him for support, and that if he was
locked up he did not know what they
would do. He offered to sign the pledge
if the Judge would let him off. A pledge
was prepared and he signed it, agreeing
to abstain from into xicating beverages
for one year. The Judge suspended SEN
tence and on his good behavior. This is
a good precedent for other judges to fol-
low. In many cases it would doubtless
help the victims of abnormal appetite to
control and restrain the cravings for
strong drink.
