1t was unofficially stated that the
members of the National Pigeon and
Poultry Association are very much dis
turbed over the decision of the board
of control to add a poultry show to the
fair as one of its features. and some of
the more ardent fanciers of the feath-
cry tribe openly declare that such ac-
tion Will be an intrusion on their privi-
leges Despite this the Masons are
obdurate and a nightly feature will be
the work of an ambitious incubator
which will hatch out numerous chick
ems and ducks. OF course. the proceeds
Will be disposed of like everything else
at the fair, except the MasOns and their
loyal lady assistants, and ducks viii

OCEANIC CLIMATE.
Effect of the Ocean and the Gulf Stream

One of the experts of the Weather
Bureau when asked in Washington the
other day about the effect of the Gulf
Stream on climate said: "When you con-
slider the fact that our prevailing winds are
from the west aud southwest you will per-
ceiye that we cannot receive much mols-
ture or temperature from the ocean or the
Calf Stream on our eastern side. The in
vestigations of the Coast and Geodetlc
Survey and of the photographic Office
have shown that when the westerly winds
blow strongest they push the surface wa
tiers, and, therefore, the Gulf Stream fur
ther eastward; therefore it is not the
change in the Gulf Stream that affects our
weather on the coast, but it is the wind
that affect both our weather and the
Cuff Stream. On the Florida coast,
where easterly winds prevail, the Gulf
Stream has but little influence, because its
temperature is not so very different from
that of the surrounding waters.
con The coast of Great Britain and
Europe the prevailing southwest winds
bring 50 much moisture from the ocean,
no matter what the temperature of the
water is, that the influence of the Gulf
Stream, as such, is also inappreciable. II
YOU define the Gulf Stream as q region
whose surface water temperature is above
that of the waters on the east or west OF 1t,
then the charts of ocean temperatures will
show that the warmth of the Gulf Stream
becomes inapprecable after it passes the
meridian of Cape Race, so that i'll all the
northeastern part of the Atlantic we are
dealing with general ocean temperature
quite distinct from that Of the Gulf Stream.
The oscillations of the Gulf Stream have
also been studied by the Commission OF
Fish and Fisheries, and it has been shown
that when the west winds push the warm
surface water eastward to an unusual de-
gree the lower cold water is at the same
time pulled up, as one might say, but
really pushed up from the ocean depths
toward the shore line from Cape Hatteras
to Cape Cod, and the fish that feed near
the bottom, at specific depths, being
caught in this cold water are sometimes
killed in great quantities.
