The Mud Diet of Londoners,

There Is nothing like dealing with large
figures, and no doubt the statement by
scientific person that Londoners drink in
the course CT year 1000 tons of mud
will appear to many to disclose a terrible
and most dangerous state Of things Moth
Ing could be further from the truth. A
thousand tons of mud would mean perhaps
about half pound of mud to each person.
1t will be certainly not too much to as
sume that each half pound of mud does
not contain more than two ounces Of solid
matter, probably much less.
Now, 1t is certain that In the course Of
three or four windy days In March each
person in the air all day will draw In fully
an ounce of dust, as much as he will swal-
low in water during six months A rail
way traveller who takes few hours jour
ney in dry weather has but to look at the
state Of his coat and Of the carriage seat to
form an idea of the amount Of dust that
must have entered his mouth, the most
OF which on touching the palate and tongue
is converted into mud and swallowed.
Thus, then, 1t will be seen at once how In
finitesimally small and how absolutely in
nocuous Is tho daily portion of this ,00(
tons Of mud swallowed by Londoners and
how little cause there Is for alarm in tn,
array of figures piled up by the scientific
investigator, who may frighten weak mind
ed people, but they do not in the slightes
| degree affect the ordinary man or excite IL
| him any feeling whatever. save indifrer

The Cfrcuiatory System Of Streams THIS
Flow Through the Atlantic.

Flow Through the Atlantic.
Across the Atlantic ocean from the gulf
| Of Guinea to Cape st. Rogue moves great
body of water-the main equatorial cur
I rent-which can be considered the motive
power or handspring of the whole Allan
tic current system as 1t obtains its motion
directly from the ever exaoting push of the
trade winds At Cape St Rogue this broad
current splits into two parts, one turning
north the other south. The northern part
contracts, increases it's lpeed, and passing
up the northern coast of South America as
the Guiana current, enters through the
Caribbean sea into the gulf of Mexico,
where 1t circles around to the northward
then, colored deep blue from the fine riv-
or silt Of the Mississippi and heated from
Its long surface exposure under tropical
sun to an average temperature of 80 de-
grees, 1t emerges into the Florida channel
as the gulf stream.
From here IL travels northeast, following
the trend OF the coast line until, off Cape
Hatteras, it splits into three divisions, one
OF which, the westernmost, keeps on to
lose it's warmth and life In Baffin's bay.
Another impinges on the Hebrides, and is
no more recognizable as a current, and the
third, the eastern and largest part of the
divided stream, makes wide sweep to the
east and south, inclosing the Azores and
the dead water called the Sargasso sea,
then, as the African current, runs down
the coast nntil just below the Canary isles,
1t merges into the lesser equatorial current,
which, parallel to the parent stream and
separated from 1t by narrow band Of
backwater, travels west and filters through
the West Indies, making puzzling CON-
binations with the tides, and finally bear
ing so heavily on the young gulf stream
as to give to 1t the sharp turn to the north
ward through the Florida channel
In the south Atlantic the portion of the
main equatorial current split off by Cape
st. Rogue and directed south, leaves the
coast at Cape Frio, and at the latitude OF
the river Platte assumes due easterly
direction and crosses the ocean as the
southern connecting current At the cape
of Good Hope 1t meets the cold, northeast
orly Cape Horn current, and with 1t passes
up the coast of Africa to join the equatorial
current at the starting point In the gulf of

latory system of ocean rivers, of speed

his decision In the Three Friends ct>se
upon the exceptions of the defense to
the libel of the government for violating
neutrality laws. The point was raised
by counsel for the defense that inas-

been recognized by the United States
government, they were neither people
nor body polite, as defined by section
$3.50, under which the libel was drawn.
This was sustained by Judge Locke, and

A msuting OF the members OF the N. o.
N. Club was held last night, for the pur-
pose Of settling the affairs of the Leap Year
party recently held by them. The treas
urer reported q small balance In their
favor, and after discussing for about an
hour what to do with the money, they
finally decided to buy tuti-frutti.
Governor Browns remark, as reported,
that he 'thad as good chances as the rest OF
the lot" for a cabinet position, is an ex-
cellent description of the real condition of
affairs. Being ''mentioned" as a cabinet
possibility is very different matter from
being a cabinet reality, and the Governor
seems to have played his interviewer with
that fact in mind-[W WESTERLY Sun.

some favor, but lis at present opposed on
