GULF STREAM MARKS.


thr ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color OF the stream Is percCpti
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring soa this hlueness forming one
of the standard references OF the nau-
teal novclists The depth of color is
due to the high percentages of salt con
tanned as compared with the cold green
water of higher attitudes, observation
having shown that the more salt held
In solution by sea water the more In
tensely blue is its color. Thus even In
eXtratropical attitudes we sometimes
observe water of a beautiful blue col
or as for instance, 81 the Mediterra-
mean and In other nearly landloCked
basins, where the influx of frcsher wa
ter. being mere OF less impeded, the
percentage OF salt contained is raised
by evaporation above the average, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another Important fact in connection
With the stream is its almost tropical
temperature. due To the fact that Its
high velocity enables 1t to reach the
middle attitudes with very little loss
of heat. Upon entering its limits the
temperature Of the sea water frequent
ly shows rise of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees. 1t was this fact that
gave TO the stream In the later years

The result was that the detcrmlna-
ton Of the longitude was largely n
matter of gucsswork, a vessel after n
voyage from the channel to America
often being out of her reckoning by de-
grees instead Of by minutes. The Idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of vessel by observ-
Ing the temperature of the surface wa
ter, could tell the moment of his entry
into the gulf stream and could hence
fix his position To within few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published In 1890
by Jonathan Williams in work
lengthlly entitled "Thermometrical
Navigatlon Being series of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by ascertaining the relative
heat of the sen water from time to
time the passage of II ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered In time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes II patriotic comparison of the

There Is n Difference Between In

There Is n Difference Between In
formation and Knowledge.
A great many people mistake infor-
nation for knowledge What a man
most needs is not that he may be pos
sessed of an accumulation of facts, but
that he may know where to look for
the facts when he wants them. We all
know the unpleasant individual who is
continually seeking information. You
show him about your city and he asks:
"Iow many miles of street railway
have you in your city," "What is the
price of Ice here this summer" "How
many churches are there here" Glow
long has that building been standing?"
etc. nd nauseam. You don't know and
wonder why he wants to. You know
where you can find out, and that Is
enough for you.
And then there is that equally dis
agreeable person who actually seems
TO be tank of facts. lie has more In
formation than anything else and de.
lights In asking you most extraordinary
questions. When you confess your ig-
norance, he will look upon you with
pity and exclaim,' "What, don't you
know" ana then tell you when you
don't want to know at all. For exam
pie, he is much surprised because you
don't know how long the Amazon river
Is. He permits you-nay, he insists
that you should guess, only that he
may the better humillate you. His
brain Is so incumbtred with facts that
IL Is almost useless. Life is too short

YOUNG RAVENS.
Queer story of the Changing Color
of the Newborn birds.


l have not learning enough to know
whether i'll the earliest times ravens
were accounted "unlucky." IL SO, why
We're they chosen from among all the
birds of the air for the merciful er-
rand of carrying bread 10 Elijah in the
wilderness? Did they steal it? They
are given to theft! Also in the written
word we are assured that God hear
eth the young ravens when they cry
out unto him" And nothing of this
Is said of doves or of any other white
or heavenly kind of bird. An cxpla-
nation is given in the Egyptian COM
mentary on St Luke In the Coptic
script by Eplphanlus, \. u. 36S-401.
The passage Is certainly very curious,
and | am permitted to transcribe It
here: why. then, did the evangelist
mention no name among the birds ex-
cept ravens only2 Because the hen
raven, having laid her eggs and
Matched her young, Is wont To fly
away and leave them on account of
the hue of their color, for when
Matched they are red In appearance
Then the Nourisher OF all creation
sends 10 them n little swarm of In

thus the little ravens are fed until
the color of their body is, MS Il were.
dyed and becomes black. But after
seven days the old ravens return, and,
seeing that the bodies of their young
have become perfectly like their own,
henceforward they take to them and
bring them food of their own ac-
cord"
1t is for naturalists to ascertain
whether or no this strange account
of the young ravens holds good in our
day.--Cornhill Magazine.
