STRANGE CLIMATIC DIFFERENCE
Explanation of the Causes Of Florida.4
VARYING Temperatura.


Varying Temperature.
People who visit the east coast Of
Florida, and especially the Indian river
and the Lake Worth region, often won
der why the climate OF that section 10
SO delightful at all times Of the year
and so different In almost every par
ticular from what one would expect In
those ATTITUDES. The explanation Is
simple enough. The difference be-
tween northern and semitropical Flor
ida, apart from the latitudinal dis
lance, is due to the elevation Of the
former and the distance from II of the
gulf stream. The waters Of the Gulf
Of Mexico temper the immediate coast
line. Their effect does not extend far
inland. The stream is pressed close 70
the east coast shore along Dade ooun-
ty by the Bahama banks. Atlantic
steamships southwark bound, TO avoid
the force Of the current, stand In 80
near. the shore that they can at some
points be hailed from land. The gulf
stream is an old story, but II Is a great
fact This vast, deep blue ocean river,
thousand times the volume Of the
Mississippi, is thirty miles wide, two
thousand feet deep, and has a velocity
OF five miles an hour the year round.
The temperature OF the stream is
eighty-four degrees, or nine degrees
higher than the waters OF the ocean
through which 1t flows. The trade
winds blowing nine-tenths Of the time,
winter and summer, from the eastward,
bear the stratum of warm air formed
by the gulf stream westward acrosa
the land. This Is why the east coast Is,
milder and more equable than the west
coast In the same latitude. With the
gulf stream are found three other
equalizing agencies-the trade winds,
the everglades, with a water surface,
preventing land breeze, and the zone
OF high barometrio pressure. The mid
summer heat, that might otherwise be
ninety-five degrees, Is reduced TO some
thing like lightweight degrees. The
midwinter chill, which might get down
to thirty degrees, is warmed up TO,
something like forty degrees. +

1t is usually supposed :, by the lay
reader that the greatest speeches made
in congress are the result Of long prepa-
ration and are delivered from voIumi-
nous notes. This is not always correct.
The preparation may be all right, but
in many cases notes do not exist at all.
This may be illustrated from little
conversation had with ex-Congressman
John M. Farquhar. He was booked to
speak at reunion of veterans Half an
hour before he was announced to take
the platform approached and said:
''Mr. FarQuhar, / shall be glad to get
an advance copy Of your speech. F"
"My dear sir, . he replied, s"I never
wrote a speech in my life and never
shall. never spoke from notes but once
in my life. That was when was in
congress, and my speech occupied over
four hours. My notes consisted Of five
words scribbled on a piece of paper. I
have kept that piece of paper, and when
1 have Joined the majority it may be
considered an interesting souvenir to
somebody"
