Swiftest Ocean Current.

Among the twenty-five known great
ocean currents, or rivers of the sea, it
appears that the swiftest in its course
is the branch of the great equatorial
current so we'll known as the Gulf
Stream, it's speed at various places
varying from four and half to five
miles an hour, with its waters at a
mean temperature of 81 degrees Fair.
After running 5000 miles towards the
north, as far as 40 degrees north lati-
itude, it still preserves, even in winter,
the heat of summer. The influence OF
this vast body of warm water upon the
seas and coasts it washes cannot be
overestimated. 1t covers the ocean
with a mantle of warmth and serves
to mitigate the rigors of our Euro
pean winter. The existence OF this
wonderful stream was first discovered
in 1872 by Ponce de Leon, Spaniard.

THROUGH DAWNS EARLY LIGHT
The House Closed the Session With
Patriotic Songs.

Washington, June 9.-The last days
of the session of congress, and the
nights as well, had witnessed scenes of
party passion and personal rancor, in
which the house was brought to the
brink of actual riot several times. In
the closing half hour, while bills were
being signed, and the last formal &C
ton was keeping engrossing clerks,
presiding officers and the president
employed, few members gathered
near the rostrum and began singing
patriotic songs. All space in the gal
leries was packed full of people. AS
the singing proceeded members Joined
the group and everybody Joined in
choruses. columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," "Auld Lang Syne, 1.-THE Red
White and Blue" and Dixie" sue
ceeded each other, with an ever in
creased volume of voices. But none Of
these could compare with the enthusi-
asm evoked when Mr.. Fitzgerald OF
Mississippi, started the national
anthem with the inspiring words,
Through dawn's early light" In an
instant all the men, women and chill
dren in the galleries were on their feet
Joining in the singing. The mighty
chorus from thousands of voices rever-
brated through the hall, making the
pulses leap and the blood Jingle. 1t
was a magnificent and soul-inspiring
spectacle spectacle. The ladies kept
time to the rhythm of the music with
their handkerchiefs and the men beat
the measures with their hands. The
speaker, pa1sing as he entered the
hall, raised his Voice also.
At 4:5O, when the speaker attempted
to call the house to order the members
were still singing. With one accord
they turned upon him and drowned the
crash of his gavel in the strains OF
For He's Jolly Good Fellow" With
this tribute to the speakers popularity
the singing ceased and Speaker Hen
derson, after closing address, an
nounced final adjournment.
