The Gulf Stream.

Remarking 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 a flow of
water as the gulf stream, remarkable
body, having its headquarters in the
Gulf of Mexico, from thence flowing
northeasterly along the shores of the
United States to the banks of New
foundland. Then, rushing across the
Atlantic Ocean to 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 It's mouth. Phenom-
email, too, is the fact that, although it's
bed and banks are cold water, yet the
vast stream is very warm, and so great
is the absence of affinity or comming
ling 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 non-con-
ductors. Consequently very little heat
is lost, and the warm water is carried
thousands of miles. losing only four de
grees of heat on the journey from the
Gulf of Mexico to the British Isles.

HORTICULTURE.

Some OF the finest apples in America
have been grown upon rough hill sides,
and among rocks and stumps, but it was
when the orchardist knew his business.
He did not choose such spot in perfer-
ence to any other. Every part of the
work, from the planting TO the hauling
away of the fruit. can be done more econ
omically upon level ground.
An apple orchard should slope slightly
toward the north. 1t should be easily
tillable. Soil which is strong. and
neither sand nor clay. suits nearly all
kinds of fruit trees. The ground should
be open enough for natural drainage,
for thing will serve its purpose only un-
til they become filed with roots.
Trees may be planted closer than by
the orthodox rule, if every other tree is
a dwarf, or of some smaller than ordi-
nary growth. All trees need not be
apples in an apple orchard; plums and
cherries can be growing and bearing for
a few years, and yielding their profit.
until the growth OF the larger varieties
demands their removal.
Cherries need pruning when young,
but it is harmful to do mach cutting
about them after they have taken their
shape This tree heals slowly, and even
a bruise or hack will run for a long
ime. Thin out the branches and the
dead limbs when necessary. AS to
ounces, free annual pruning usually
means good crop.
Many an old tree is moderately fruit
full, and we cling to it for the sake of its
past; but il it has much passed its prime,
it is not profitable thing TO keep. The
fruit is no longer of the best, and a
younger tree will soon render the more
profit. Cutit down as cumberer of the
ground.

admitted, is often capricious and un-

NO ONE KNEW HIM.
r AM very sorry, George, but thi:
BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE.

r AM very sorry, George, but this
j was really what she said"
These were the words Of Florence
Larkin to her brother. George had
intrusted her with that difficult com
mission-to find out why Gertrude
was off and on with him-why she
was sometimes SO cordial and sweet
and sometimes so distant. And poor
Florence had to explain to George
that Gertrude had virtually said that
he was too common place. She could
not marry man that nobody knew
and nobody talked about. He was
good. he was successful, he was kind,
he was everything that Miss Edge
worth would require in one OF her
novels, but he did not attract peoples
attention. Nobody ever heard OF
George Larkin.
After Florence had explained this
in the minutest way possible twice,
George seemed to understand what
she was talking about.
"Does she want to see my name in
the newspapers"
II should not say that" said Flor
ence.
"Does she want me to ride down
Broadway in plate armor and nail on
the doors of Trinity notice that she
is the prettiest girl in the world?'
"She did not say So" said Flor
ence.
"Does she want to see me moreT
II should think you would do bet
ter if you went there less" said Flor
ence.
"If all she wants is to have me
talked about, she shall have her wayp
And George Larkin founced out of
the room.
Ten days after, as Gertrude Clark
came down, rather late, to her break
fast, the servant brought in a pile of
letters on the salver. Gertrude's little
sister counted them; there were %.
"What in the world has happened?
said she.
The little sister cut them open, and
Gertrude read:
7 I,fplyx Euau MP
George Larkin. VIII you have the kindness to
put his address on the note inclosed?
DEAR MISS CLARK-Do you know your friend
Mr.. Larkin we'll enough to ask him to come
round to our reception? 1t is very informal.
but we shall be so pleased to see him.
DEAR MISS Clark am so annoyed that
forget Mr.. Larkin's first name. 1 want to send
him a card for our party. May trouble you for
his address?
Twenty three notes that contained
such references to George!
Yet for these ten days past George
had not sent her-no, not carnation.
He did send her note to excuse
himself from driving with her in the
park. He was not even at her aunt's
regular family party, where he had
begged her to have him invited.
George had wholly dropped out of
her life, and Gertrude had begun TO
wish that he had not dropped out.
The reader shall know what had
happened. The reader shall know
how nice girl may be suddenly
walked up to find that her lover is not
the unimportant person which in his
humility he had made her believe.
The reader shall know how one young
man got himself named from one end
of continent to the other.
All this happened in very large
city of 100000 people, which is the
capital of very large country, which
country is next to the republic of Al
truria.

steel In this country were i'm session here
to-day. One of the members of the con-

was the intention of the manufacturers TO
complete their work as soon as possible.
and while II was impossible to say what
the terms would be, each company would
make certain percentage of the steel
for the coming year. the allotment proba-
bly, to be made on the basis OF the prod
uct of each company during last year.
The reasons given for the proposed ac-
tion are overproduction and the conse-
quent fall In prices which had made a
combination necessary. so that the manu-
facturers may continue TO run their
works at profit. IL has been reported
that the combination. which includes the
makers OF more than one-half OF the
steel product of the world. has come to
some sort of an agreement with the
makers abroad and that prices can be
easily maintained In this way. This is

that nothing is feared from foreign
makers. II is denied that there is any
