THE GREAT PACIFIC.
The Advantage of Circle Sailing on an A rem
of Water So Vast.

The Advantage of Circle Sailing on an A "a.
OF Water So Vast.
The Pacific is the great ocean of onr
planet. In comparison with it the
north Atlantic is a mere strait and tha
Indian ocean nothing more than the sub
merged bench of congeries of drowned
islands. Along the line of 70 degrees
south latitude the width of the Paci fic is
1876 degrees of longitude, over one-third
of the circumference of the globe. Be.
tween it and the south polar continent
nothing intervenes. Its northern ex.
tremity was probably at one time round
ed off by the country which is now 1i-
vided between Alaska and Siberia.
When the glacial masses moved to the
pole, the polar current Glove its way
through Behring straits and interposed
Behring sea between the Pacific and
the polar ocean.
1t presents every form of ocean geop-
raphy. At the two extremities it is shall
low. There is bench running along
the Aleutian islands into the gulf of
Alaska which comes within 100 fathoms
of the surface, with occasional holes so
deep that no apparatus can find the bot
tom and be recovered without breaking
the wire, and there is corresponding
bench in the southwest portion of the
sea west of the meridian of 1870 degrees
where 100 fathoms is also the average.
Between this last bench and the latitude
of 8S degrees north there is range of
submarine rocky mountains with steep
cliffs and sharp descents. Three or four
distinct mountain ridges with from two
to three miles of water between them
have been counted between the Ha-
waiian Islands and Australia.
On the Pacific can be found every va
riety Of temperature and meteorology.
Out of Behring sea pours the icy cur
rent which cools our shore in summer;
from the equator flow summer currents
warmer than the Atlantic gulf stream,
while the current which sweeps around
the south cape of Tasmania bears on its
bosom the longest icebergs ever seen.
As its name indicates, it is pacific
ocean, swept by gentle trade winds, but
the most terrible typhoons described in
meteorological records have varied the
chronicles of its placid surface.
On sea of such extent circle sailing
must become q matter of moment. The
Canadian steamers, sailing from Yoko-
hama in IS degrees to Victoria in 40 de-
grees, cross the meridian of 100 degrees
In 80 degrees, having covered 1900
miles on the voyage, while the Pacific
Mail steamers, sailing by what appears
on the map to be the straight line, have
to cover 4, 700 miles between San Fran
cisco and Yokohama. Assuming the
vessels to be equal in speed and to steam
at the usual rate of seagoing steamers
on the Pacific, the Canadian line enjoys
an advantage of about 36 hours over
the American lines. This is reduced al
most to nothing when our ships puruse
the northern course and take the advan-
tage of circle sailing. San Francisco

The cravat is again coming strongly
into favor. Since the fancy shirtings
for business wear have taken such a
hold the cravat, which does not screen
the shirt pattern, is availed of by host
OF well dressed men. 1t may be most
aptly worn with the cutaway or sack
suiting. Particularly effective are the
cravats in washable materials for town
wear. They seem to have that urban
touch which the Windsor or the four-in-
hand summer weight does not give to
the ensemble. A man that wears big
made up bow with soft finish shirt is
as dead to the world as a waxwork.-

his addresses rejected, demanded the
return of his letters. His peremptory
command not being at once complied
