What Causes the Gulf stream.

About the middle of the century Lieu
tenant M. Il. Maury, the American hydro
graher and meteorological advocated "A
theory Of Rravitation as the chief cause
Of ocean currents, claiming that differ
enco i'm density, due 10 difference in
temperature ard saltness, would sufii-
ctently account for the oceanic circula-
ton. This theory gained great popular
ity through the wide circulation of
Maury's Physical Geography of the Sea,
which Is said to have passed through
more editions than any other scientific
book of the period; but IL was ably and
vigorously combated by DIR. James Croll,
the Scottish gcologist, in his Climate ana
Time, and latterly the old theory that
ocean currents are due to- the trade winds
has again come into favor. indeed, very
recently model has been constructed.
with the idea of which IL Is said TO have
been demonstrated that prevailing winds
in the direction of the actual trade winds
would produce such n current as the Gulf
Stream. From Meteorological Progress

OBSERVATIONS.

The journal has for a long time carried IN
its columns the following statement:
''All anonymous communications addressed
TO the editor are consigned To the waste
basket without perusal."
This is famboyant. 1t is a good specimen
OF woriincss Moreover, aside from the
English Of II, it probably isn't wholly true

Ny other friend Nesbit, who is worth good
many thousands OF dollars already, and will
have more by Inheritance some day. hasn't a
child. But he is willing and even anxious to
harbor and undertake the culture Of three or
four. II was Nesbit who was discussing the
unfortunate coincidence of this so familiar u
situation, and he expressed the somewhat
startling opinion that some day money would
buy children, as lit can everything else. he

why shouldn't they distribute their supcrflu-
Gus children There would. of course, be no
difficulty in getting customer among people

our only recourse as IL is-and lots OF MS
take the long chances that they offer rather
than live without children ut all. IL strikes
me that it would be legitimate and perfectly
honorable for people like Fritz to let their
children 90 to perfectly reputable families
not TO say manufacture them for the purpose
of supplying hearths that would otherwise be
desolate."

Just let the subscription co.
It's only dollar or two; the publishers
don't need IL.
If asked for your subscription, work your
self into an insult and have the paper stopped
,you mover read it, anyhow.
A better way to do is just TO borrow your
neighbor's paper
When the advertising and Job man calls tell
him you don't need To advertise-eyerybody
knows you.
Economic. Use a rubber stamp and try
and get along without any printed station
cry; IL is too expensive.
Never recommend the paper TO anybody.
Never drop in To- see the editor unless you
want free complimentary notice or a
lengthy obituary for beloved relative.
When you do speak Of the paper, say, yes,
we have a little sheet but it don't amount to
much.
Keep these things in mind and don't forget

While the socialists are talking about the
more equable distribution Of wealth-how
about more equable distribution OF children ?
/ have friend who writes verse. He calls
il poetry. To prove it, here is a sample:
All me, the joy of the BARRIERS chair,
The relaxation OF body and brain.
A-well for the soul reposeful there
Under tho barber's legerdemain.
| drop my head on the padded block
And close my eyes TO sweetest rest:
My fingers across my stomach lock
And I'm costly tucked in the BARRIERS nest,
While work and the world are far away.
For ten good minutes I'll lie me there,
Snug in the SIT upholstery,
While lather and steel refresh and cheer.
And the barber he mixes the soft soap up
And rattles the brush in the little cup
And draws a razzer and gives il a slap
Across bis length of suspender strap
That hangs on the chair just under my head
(''lt's trifie warm," the barber said
And a square of paper across my breast
With "a dab Of lather is laid to rest
And the barber gives my chin jerk
To reach the spot TO begin 20 work
And begins to lather and eke TO rub
And eyes and mouth get a casual daub)
And he told me all his views ON the weather
Present and past and future and whether
This sort of thing was going 10 last.
Did the razzer pull?
Did he shave too fast
All, no? He fiattered himself he knew
Exactly the proper way 10 40.
With a face like mine and a toughish beard
The chap that shaved me before, no feared,
Had failed TO touch me up just right.
This side Of my face j. perfect sight
And showed an inexperienced hand,
As an expert could rea lily undorstand).
20 he talked and scraped, and scraped and
talked,
My face and neck with his fingers plucked,
And told me about his pedigree
And all his relatives generally;
And expounded politics pro and con,
OF election bets he had lost aad won;
or fashions in clothing, collars and hats.
of the latest things in swell cravats.
tOf yachts and horses and dogs and such,
He knew not n little and talked very muchl /;
OF men he had seen that looked like me,
Ard of men that were differe q entirely;
Now interspersed with joke or pun
And all else Imaginable under the sun.
Then washed my face and hoisted me up,
And soaked my head like Kitchen mon,
And rubbed and scrubbed and stroked me
down
And finished me up from toe TO crown,
Regardless of damage TO skin and bones
And expressed tho hope in dulcet tones
That I'd give him call another day
And his Next" could be heard three blocks
