seas. like Tahiti or Jamaica, have great
uniformity of temperature. but they melt
| in excessive heat. Others in cooler lat
itudes. like the Bermudas, while pleas
ant In the summer, are visited by occa-
sional frosts in the winter. But Hawaii
knows not the torrid heats of the West
indies or the South Seas. nor the broil-
| ing days and melting nights OF an Amer
| lean summer. To what is this exemption
due?
Islands in general owe their uniformity
of climate to the tempering power of the
wide ocean spaces upon the atmosphere.
The air currents that reach Hawaii must
pass over thousands of miles of sea of
uniform temperature for several days
The ocean gives protection from arctic
blasts. and equally from torrid siroccos
The same condition of a protecting ocean
expanse occurs in the South Pacific. The
trade winds reach Tahiti and Samoa only
after traversing an enormous breadth of
ocean-frorn 5000 to GOO miles But with
in $500 miles are the ice hotillas OF the
Antarctic. chilling the sea, and bringing
the air to so or 60 degrees F., and the air
but little warmer, with no continental
desert near, as in Australia, to mass the
heat. and no Arctic spaces to mass the
eold-no cause exists for destructive tenn
pests.
But why is the ocean temperature,
from latitude 10 TO % degrees north, at
so low an average as 20 degrees F., and
why, in the same ATTITUDES, is it so much
higher elsewhere? This is due in some
measure to a strong surface current from |
he northeast, which brings uprooted |
rees and saw-logs from the Columbia |
liver, and is probably d return current |
rom the Kuro-siwo, or Gulf Stream of |
he Pacific. But this is not sufficient |
explanation, else we should find a similar |
,oolness in the eastern part Of every |
ocean within the tropics; on the ,
outheast coasts of Africa and Austria
ia, where the return currents come d. |
ectly from the Antarctic ice-waIl and its |

surface. What does this mean? That
two vast cold currents from the poles
are meeting below and forcing each 9TH
er up to the surface.
What, now, will be the effect of these
currents on the clusters of islands in lat
Itudes like those of Cuba and Tahiti? a
vast set of water flowing from the equa-
tor. carries to them the tropic heats. The
atmosphere of these regions will be sur
charged with moisture, and we shall
have the hot, damp climate of the West
Indies and the South Sea Islands. which
also have warm current from the equa-
tor
But why is 1t not the same with Ha-
wall? A single difference in the physical
condition produces a very different re-
sult-namely, the closure of the Pacific
Ocean on the north, at Behring Strait.
This appears in the following diagram,
where at d a partition cuts off the ice

What are the causes of this exceptional
eyenness of temperature in the Hawaiian
group? The answer appears to be dedu-
chile from the data of DR.. Wyville
Thompson's deep-sea soundings made in
the Challenger" expedition. From these
DIR. Carpenter deduced his theory of the
movements OF the cold and warm waters
of the ocean; and this theory has been
applied by Serene Bishop to explain the
Hawaiian ocean and air currents. The
substance of MIR. Bishops valuable mon
ograph, with slight modifica tions. is as
follows:
Visitors to Hawaii remark, in the ISL
and climate, two things that are new TO
their experience. The first is the extreme
uniformity OF air temperatures. While in
all parts of the United States east of the
Rocky Mountains cold and hot waves
rapidly succeed one another. and the
thermometer viii one day be in the nine
ties, and the next, perhaps, in the thir-
ties. in Hawaii the breezes. day by day
and month by month are tempered with
almost the same warmth: one day is lit
tie hotter or colder than another. The
other popularity is the very moderate
warmth of this island climate. Full
trop-c heat is almost unknown. The

water at and c sinks; the warm water
at b flows along the surface to a and G.
to take its place; and this movement
pushes the cold water along the bottom,
from and from toward B. There the
two bottom currents meet, and push each
other upward. AT the surface the cold
water meets the hot pipes becomes heat
ed, and returns along the surface to the
extremities. Thus is established a con-
t-nuous circulation in two circuits-of
warm water from the center, on the sur
face, to each end, and of cold water
along the bottom, from each end to the
center.
The deep-sea soundings of the "Chal-
lenger" appear to show that the great
mass movements of the Atlantic Ocean
precisely correspond to this. In every
part of the ocean below 1900 fathoms the
water is about 50 degrees F. Above that
depth the temperature slowly rises. Now.
when we find ice water under the tropics,
we conclude that it came from the polar
seas, for the earth-depths are hot. and
the sea-depths should be warm, unless
from polar flow. This seems to be
proved by this fact: the temperature of
80 degrees F., to find which everywhere
else outside of the polar circles you must
descend 1900 fathoms is found near the
equator at only 500 fathoms below the

tlOn to another nuisance which IL even

contributes more to confusion and con.

other that I know of. This Is the fact
that the North Side cable cars run on
the wrong side of the street after
emerging from the tunnel on La Sale
street. AS long as the West Side cable
cars used the track on the other side
of La Sale street, making the loop by
way Of that thOroughfare and Ran

for this. but now that these tracks are
no longer used fail to see why the
North Side cars cannot run on the right
side Of the street going south. 1t should
not prove very great Inconvenience
to the company to make this change.
