The Gulf Stream.

Remarklng upon some of the geo.
graphical charts now available TO the
student of physical science, it is pointed
out by writer that elsewhere in the
world there is not SO majestic flow Of
water as the gulf stream, remarkable
body having its headquarters in the
gulf Of Mexico, from thence flowing
uortheasterly along the shores of the
United States to the banks of New
foundland. Then, rushing across the
Atlantic ocean 10 the British isles, it is
divided into two currents, one flowing
northward TO the Atlantic ocean, the
other southwark TO the Azores. and the
velocity of this immense flow being also
more rapid than that of the Mississippi
at New Orleans or even of the Amazon
at 100 miles above its mouth. Phenom-
email, too, is the fact that, although its
bed and banks are cold water, yet the
vast stream is very warm, and so great
is the absence of affinity or commin-
Cling between these waters that their line
Of junction is distinctly visible TO the
eye. Further, the waters of this won
derful stream do not in any part of their
course touch the bottom of the sea- They
are defended at the bottom and sides by
what has been termed trough of cold
water, one of the best nonconductors.
Consequently very little heat is lost,
and the warm water is carried thou
sands of miles, losing only four degrees
Of heat on the journey from the gulf Of
Mexico to the British isles.

THE TRACER.

on the InstalIment Plan

One of the most important men in the
employ OF firm that makes a specially

Is the tracer. His duty, as his name
signifies, is 10 find out the whereabouts
OF delinquent customers, who think to
get out Of the trouble Of future nav
ments by quietly moving away and neg.
Iectlng TO leave their new address.
Nothing could be more foolish than
such course, for this is feature of
the business that the installment houses
have reduced 10 science. II is obvious
that in this city the great majority of
those who purchase goods on weekly
payments live in flats. This makes it a
comparatively easy matter for the deal
ers to keep them under surveillance, for
one OF the first things the collector does
is to see the janitor and inform him
which families in the house have bought
goods on the installment plan. IL pays
to fee the janitor for this service, for he
is in a position to know when any NOV
ing is about to take place, and the in
formation he gives the collector has
been the means of nipping in the bud
many well laid scheme to get ont of
paying a furniture bill.
Sometimes, Of course, it happens that
a dishonest family will move away in
such hurry that the janitor is unable
TO inform the firm in time. In such an
event the tracer is put on the case.
He sets about his work with the method
OF the trained detective He is familiar
with the name and address of every fur
niture mover in the city, and his ac-
quaintance among the helpers is so ex-
tensive that il is more than likely he
has a personal friend among the men
who moved the family he is seeking.
With such advantages his task is not
nearly so hard as the uninitiated would
imagine, and there would be fewer at
