GULF STREAMS VAGARIES.
with Causing EurOpe's Cold
Spells.

A very startling piece of intelligence
has just been announced by the me-
teorological Office. From our youth
up we have all been taught that the
climate of the British isles would be
almost arctic in its severity were 1t
not for the perpetual washing of our
shores by the warm water of the gulf
stream, whose genial influence softens
our atmosphere and insures tempera-
lures far above those of Sewfonnd-
land and Labrador, on the opposite
side of the Atlantic. Scientific men.
however, can never leave well alone,
and they delight in bowling over one
by one all the beautiful ideas cher
ished by the multitude, says a writer
in the Pail Mall Gazette. 1t has come
to be the turn of the gulf stream at
last, the great ocean river which gem
erations of geographers ana others
have traced, apparently in imagina-
tion, from the banks of Newfoundland
across to our coasts and away up
northeastward across the arctic circle
! TO Franz Josef Land and Nova Zembia.
| In the North Atlantic and Mediter-
|
May, issued by the meteorological
council, there is abundance of infor-
nation for sailors on several subjects,
and in the remarks relating to cur
rents it is stated that the results,
shown by means of numberless blue
arrows, extending from 1880 to 1895.
Here, indeed, is authority much more
convincing than that of the armchair
philosopher who, unprovided with pre-
else and numerous observations, con-
tents himself with laying down the
law as to what ought to exist in per-
feet world of his own creation.
Based on the investigation of the
immense quantity of data referred to,
1t is now stated that to the westward
of the British isles. between the tif-
tieth and siXtieth parallels, the cur
rent drift in the month Of May is large
ly to the west and southwest, there be-
ing no evidence of the northeastward |
extension of the gulf stream beyond |
about II degrees north 27 degrees
west. Between the thirtieth and fif- |
tieth parallels, westward to the thir-
tieth meridian, nearly the whole of the |
surface water has south-going move
ment. These features are probably re.
lated TO the prevalence of polar winds
of the coasts of northwestern Europe
at this season, the gulf stream itself
weakening greatly on passing the
newfoundland banks and being driven
off, first to the southeast, then to the
south, and SO finally down to the trop-
les again. Our coasts are thus exposed
to arctic rather than to tropical infu-
ences, and it is appropriate, therefore,
that advantage should be taken Of the
occasion to devote a chapter to the
northerly type of the cold spell'
which aiiiicts MS nnd&urope generally
almost as regularly as clockwork
every May.

local tobacco man lately to a New
Orleans Times-Democrat man, "and

instances where men have askedtheir

RAILROAD QUIZ CLASSES.
. Newly Introduced system for
Thoroughly Instructing Em-
pIoyes In Their Duties,

~Quiz classes on the various big rail
soads," said veteran railroad man
reports the New York Sun, "are a new
idea. Accidents are mostly caused b,
Il want of knowledge of railroad rules
and for this reason various quiz mas
ters have been put at work.
"a quiz master generally has an en-
/ tire car to himself in which he travels
over the lines. He has the employees
| of each section ON his list, and they are
notified when and where to appear for
quiz class on the rules.
When this idea was first introduced
the men did not take to IL kindly
They are generally exceedingly well.
informed men, but there are always
some things that need explanation.
For instance, quiz master will take
whole train crew at one time and put
them through preliminary examina-
ton that will very soon develop points
that they know very little about
Rules are all right, but frequently
there are things that need explana-
ton and calculation, things that the
rules do not exactly cover. After a
train hand has passed the ordeal of an
impartial quiz he is doubly competent
to do his duty.
The employees are being graded by
the quiz master. After he finds that
u trainman is not only thoroughly in.
formed as to the rules but as to any
situation that may arise in his work
he gives him certificate. 1t is sort
Of diploma that will entitle him to the
best consideration of any employing
railroad official. The train hands who
do not first pass the final examina.
tions have other chances. If they are
likely men and take an interest in
things they are patiently instructed
and examined again.
Every company has it's book of rules
for all classes of railroad labor. These
rules are the basis of the knowledp,
of the men. 1t is deemed best that the
men shall know these rules by heart
Then comes in the work of tie quiz
master He must see that they know
exactly what each rule means, and il
ever there is an exception to IA rule,
when and where il must be exercised
VI course, all this means that in tn.
near future no train man can secur,
employment unless he has IA certiK-

the community in which they live.
thousands and thousands of dol |
lars are now being saved 10 rolling
stock and equipment. simply because
employees are being drilled into
thorough knowledge of taking care
OF cars and trackage. This new ed.
