Japanese Admiral Had
to Pass.

in every way to be fearless, calm, and
.1reless fighter, says Success. .
In his youth, he and his FELLOWSHIP
dents at the Japanese naval academy
were accustomed to attend an annual
banquet. They sat at circular table
around a slowly revolving cannon loaded
with ball and trained to the level of
their heads. The trigger was so ar
ranged that it could be touched from

that it might carry OF the head of. some

ST. PATRICK At ARMAGH.
Legend Of the. First Church Site Re-

A pretty legend is told in the Book

St. Patrick-the site of the present
Protestant cathedral of St. Patrick,

GOODNESS OF CALIFORNIA.
Produced by Strong Current from
Antarctic Ocean and Not
from Japan.

A great scientific mystery of the Pa
theoretically. The experimental verb
flcatiOn will come later, or, perhaps the
new theory will be accepted or rejected
without other test than that of thor
ough discussion of the facts on which
it rests, says Garrett P. Serviss, In Sue
cess.
The mystery in question relates to the
origin Of the immense current Of cool
water which sweeps southwark along
our Pacific coast from Alaska to south
ern California, the antithesis in relative
temperature and in direction to the
gulf stream of the Atlantic coast, but
mightier than the latter in volume, and
modifying the land climates all along
It's course to a greater extent, possibly,
than any other known ocean current. In
short, this current is one of the great
est agents employed by nature in pro-
ducing the famous climate of the Pacific
coast. The magnificent forests of Wash
ington and Oregon and the rich orchards
and vineyards of California owe their
existence largely to the influence of this
vast river in the sea, which flows swift
ly by the shore, tempering with its cool
ness the arid heats of summer, rolling in
vast nantes Of fog which distribute
moisture like the gentlest rain, and
mitigating the severity of the winter
months with it's equalizing influence, be-
cause. while the average temperature of
the water is much below that of the ad-
joining land in the summer, it is consid-
erably above it in winter.
Nor is this all. Turning westward,
after skirting the shores of California.
the great current spreads out over the
center Of the Pacific. touching the Ha-
waiian islands, where again it's genial
influence is benefcently felt, with the
result that those islands enjoy a more
uniformly agreeable and salubrious
climate than any other land lying in q
similar latitude.
I Now, In a general way, and without
much critical examination, geographers
and oceanographers have hitherto as
sumed that this Pacific current was an
offsaoot of, or complement to, the
| orthward-hOwing gulf stream of
Japan, the Kuro Siwo. This Rev. S. e.
Bishop, widely known for his researches
on similar subjects, disputes; and he
sets forth the very interesting and sur
prising proposition that the great cur
rent begins near tho south pole, from
which it follows that all the favored re-
gions mentioned above owe their felici-
toua climesv to the transmitted GOODNESS
OF the illimitable ice fields which border
the antarctic continent, that GOODNESS
having been brought 10000 miles under
the sea in order to reach their shores.
