The urst American production,
really the genesis Of the cradle, was
never patented. though 1t was used
extensively in some portions of the
country. This was the sugar trough,

with roughly fashioned rockers, and
then the trough was relegated to Its
former service Of holding the sweet
sap from the sugar tree. At this

The wonderful Gulf Stream.

People who visit the east coast or
Florida. and especially the Indian
River and the Lake Worth region,
often wonder why the climate OF that
section is so delightful at all times
of the year and so different IN al
most every particular from what one
would expect In those ATTITUDES. Inc
explanation is simple enough. The
difference between northern and
semitropical Flo ida. apart from the
| latitudinal distance, Is due to the
elevation of the former and the dis
tance from it of the Gulf stream.
The waters of the Gulf OF Mexico
temper The immediate coast line.
| Their effect does not extend far In,
land. The stream Is pressed close TO
! the east coast shore along Dade Coun-
ty by the Bahama banks Atlantic

In so near the shore that they can at
some points be hailed from land.
The Gulf stream is an old story, but
it is a great fact. This vast, deep
blue ocean river, thousand times
the volume of the Mississippi, Is
thirty miles wide, 1000 feet deep,
and has velocity of five miles an
hour the year round. The tenpera-
ture of the stream is eighty-four de-
grees, or nine degrees higher than
the waters of the ocean through
which 1t flows. The trade winds
blowing nine-tenths Of the time, win
ter and summer from the eastward
bear the stratum Of warm air formed
by the Gulf stream westward across
the land. This is why the east coas
is milder and more equable than tn
west coast in the same latitude
With the Gulf stream are found thre'
n other equalizing agencies-the trad
winds, the Everglades, with waite

wholesome Socratic passage:

As a usual thing when inventors
find a clear field they tax their TWEEN

important feature. The walker
should have been adjustable for the
use of the father until the baby was

no patent nurse, even II 1t may have
