GULF STREAM MARKS.
the Course of the Flow Through
the Ocean Plainly Indicated.


the Ocean Plainly Indicated.
The color of the stream is percepti-
bly, deeper blue than that of the neigh
boring sea, this blueness forming one
of the standard references of the nau-
teal novelists. The depth of color is
due to the high percentage of salt COL
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 it's color, Thus even in
eXtratropical ATTITUDES we sometimes
observe water of a beautiful blue col
or, as for instance, in the Mediterra-
mean and in other nearly landlocked
basins, where the influx of fresher wa
ter, being more or 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 it's almost tropical
temperature, due to the fact that it's
high velocity enables it to reach the
middle ATTITUDES with very little loss
of heat Upon entering it's limits the
temperature of the sea water frequent
ly shows Il rise of ten degrees and even
fifteen degrees. 1t was this fact that
gave to the stream in the later years
of the eighteenth century and the ear
lier years of the nineteenth an impor-
lance in the minds of navigators that
it no longer possesses. In those days
the chronOmeter, invented by Harri-
son in 1865, was still an experiment.
instruments were crude and nautical
tables often at fault.
The result was that the determina-
ton of the longitude was largely a
matter of guesswork, a vessel after a
voyage from the channel to America
often being out other reckoning by de-
grees instead of by minutes. The idea,
first suggested by Benjamin Franklin,
that the master of a 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 a few miles
was hailed with delight.
The method was published in 1870
by Jonathan Williams in work
lengthily entitled "ThermometricaI
Navigation: Being a series of expert
ments and observations tending to
prove that by aScertaining the relative
heat of the sea water from time to
time the passage of a ship through the
gulf stream and from deep water into
soundings may be discovered in time
to avoid danger" In this work he
makes a patriotic comparison of the
gulf stream to streak of red, white
and blue, painted upon the surface of
the sea for the guidance of American
navigators.

The presidential Succession.

who would succeed him?
In the event of the death of Presi-
dent Roosevelt-there being no vice
president-he would be succeeded by
the secretary of state, John Hay.
In an act passed by the forty-first
congress it is provided that in the
event of the removal, death, resigna-
zion or inability of both the president
and the vice president, the secretary
of state shall act as president until
the disability of the president or vice
president is removed or a president
elected. If there be no secretary of
state, then the secretary of the treas
ury will act; the succession running
through the cabinet in this order:
secretary of war, attorney general,
postmaster general, secretary of the
navy, secretary of the interior and
secretary of agriculture-the order
being the same as that of the creation
of the departments.
Senator Frye of Maine, recently re-
ferred to himself as acting vice
president" He was mistaken He is
acting president of the senate, and
in that capacity performs duties
which would be performed by the
vice president if there were one, but
he is not vice president.

The Home of Eng1and's wealth.

The Bank OF England generally con-
tains sufficient gold in sixteen pound
bars to make 100000 sovereigns.
The bank, which stands in three par
ishes, covers three acres of ground,
and, as the current price Of land in the
vicinity works out at 100000 an
acre, it is easy to form an idea of the
money value of England's wealth. The
ratable value is about $1,000 week.
The bank employs about 1000 people,
pays quarter of million year in
wages and $4,000 year in pensions.
There are f25, 900 600 worth of notes in
circulation which have been handed
over the banks counter. - London

her fairy stories

l told her fairy stories
In the old days of long ago,
AS we used to sit at evening,
In the fire-light's ambient glow.
She was a tiny maiden,
Yet she loved me then l know,
When l told her fairy stories
In the old days-long ago
I told her fairy stories
When we had older grown;
Those tales of love and courage,
That lovers young have known;
When we used to watch the shadows
Like tides incoming flow.
And she whispered that she. loved me,
In the old days long ago.
l tell her fairy stories
Almost every evening now,
But they've lost their old time
glamour,
And we've changed about some
how,
For we have married one another,
Yet she loves me still, I know
She don't believe the stories,
AS in the old days long ago.
We should expel from our minds
the things which cannot be helped
our past misfortunes-the little occur
rences which have hurt and humil-
lated us. If we allow ourselves to
dwell on these things. it robs us of
peace and comfort. The art of for
getting useless things is one to be
acquired 1t is just as important to
learn to forget as to learn to remem-
Der. Anything that cannot help us
to get on in the world, anything that
is a stumbling block or a hindrance
many people in this world who take
"a positive delight in recalling their
past misfortunes, sufferings, aches,
failures, Sights and losses. They
dwell on their unfortunate expert
ences, and repaint the dark pictures
until their minds become sad and
melancholy. If we could only learn
to drive them out and not allow them
to return they would soon cease to
demand an entrance. Fortunate, in
say, Il can forget at will" We want
all the sunshine, encouragement and
inspiration we can get, life is too short
to dwell on the. shadows, and things
which hinder our growth If we keep
the mind filled with bright hopeful
pictures, wholesome thoughts, the
things which help us up and on in
the world, we will make infinitely
greater progress than by burying our
selves in glowing retrospection.

Gives Their Views.
TO DISCUSS STATEHOOD

cuthrie q. T. Dec 9.-Today there was
q protest raised against the idea Of hold
fnp tha statehood coneution at such
distant date. 1t is felt that the Republi-
os,s of this erriory should be ready to
cie congress its views on statehood as
soon as congress takes up the bill again
If i felt bv many that January - VIII
he the most oppcrtune time, and it is ag-
itated to hae It held earlier, that is as
soon as possible. The Republican plan
to hae the representation on basis Of
A1eCluire's jorfty. seems the most feas-
lille 1t is believed that d Republican
statehood convention can be held in two
weeks. The action Of the senate will
largely determine the date of the conven-
ton.
Justice Burford said today y am in ia
1or of holding this convention as soon as
possibe The committee or delegate
shorld be armed with the views of the
Oklahoma Republican party to fight at
Washington for immediate statehood for
Oklahoma alone. As soon as the meas
ire is taken up again,
Governor Ferguson said: 1T is my
opinion that hte statehood convention
should be called for such a time that when
the statehood measure comes up in the
senate our views on the matter may be
presented and talked of. The action of
the senate today Will largely determine
this matter"
Delegate Mcclure and other representa-
tives of the party concurred in this prop
oeition.

SNYDER ON STATEHOOD.
Sums Up His Impressions Based or
Opinion at Washington.

Opinion at Washington.
Pawnee. O. T, Dec. 9.-Warren Snyder,
who has returned from Washington. gives
to the Dispatch the statehood status in
Washington from a biased Democratic
standpoint as follows:
Il talked with many senators and con-
gressmen and was given the impression
that statehood would be given Oklahoma
and Indian Territory this winter, but
there is no hope for New Mexico and Ar
izona. They argue that il statehood is
given Oklahoma alone, a territorial form
of government will have to basgranted 10
Indian Territory, and to this they are
opposed. I can say certainly we Will
have single statehood with the Indian
Territory. or no statehood at all.
THE Republicans such men as Sena-
tors Platt of Connecticut, Flynn's best
friend: Allison, Beveridge and others of
equal prestige are averse TO giving Okla
hona statehood alone. They do not re-
gard Oklahoma with its present bound
aries as reliably Republican. and figure
that If Oklahoma and Indian Territory
are given single statehood by the Repub-
lican party the new state Will feel duly
grateful to the party which gave II ex-
istence.
New Mexico and Arizona will lose out
because the major portion of the people
Of those two territories speak only the
Spanish language"
