GOODNESS OF THE PACIFIC COAST.
Produced by Current From Antartic
Ocean and Not by the Japan Current.

Jarrett r. Serv1ss in Success.
A great scientific mystery of the Pacific
ocean has just been solved, at least theo-
retically. The experimental verification will
come later. or perhaps the new theory will
be accepted or rejected without other test
than that of thorough discussion of the
facts on which it rests.
The mystery in question relates to the
OIL igin of the immense current of cool water
which sweeps southwark along our Pacific
coast from Alaska to Southern California
the antithesis in relative temperature and in
erection CT the gulf stream of the Atlantic
coast, but mightier than the latter in vol
| ume, and modifying the land climates all
aiong Its course to greater extent, pos
slply, than any other known ocean current
agents employed by nature in producing the
famous climate of the Pacific coast The
! magnificent forests of Washington and Ore
gon and the rich orchards and vineyards of
California owe their existence largely to the
influence of this vast river in the sea-
| which flows swiftly by the shore, tempering
| with its GOODNESS the arid heats of summer
| rolling in vast mantles of fog which dis
| tribute moisture like the gentlest rain and
| mitigating the severity of the winter
months with its equalizing influence, be-
cause, while the average temperature of the
| water is much below that of the adjoining
| land in the summer 1t is considerably above
| it in winter.
| Nor is this all. Turning westward, after
| ShlTtilS the SHORES Oh California, the great
| current spreads out over the center of the
| Pacific, touching the Hawaiian Islands,
| where again its genial influence is beneh-
| Gently felt, with the result that those is
| lands enjoy a more uniformly agreeable and
salubrious climate than any other land Iy-
/ ing In a similar latitude.
| Now, in general way, and without much
! critical examination, Biographies and
| oceanographerS have hitherto assumed that
| this Pacific current was offshoot of, or
compliment to, the northward flowing
gulf stream of Japan, the kurO SlHo. This
Rev. S. e. Bishop. widely known for his
| researches on similar subjects, disputes;
and he sets forth the very interesting and
| surprising proposition that the great cur
rent begins near the South Pole. from which
| 1t follows that all the favored regions men,
| toned above owe their felicitous chimes to
| the transmitted GOODNESS of the illimitable
| ice fields which border the Antarctic con-
| tinent that GOODNESS having been brought
| ten thousand miles under the sea in order
| to reach their shores.

THE ROAD TO POWER.
Nothing Can Annihilate Character or
Stop Its Onward March.

0rison SWEET, in Success
If every politician and every other man
were to say, with Channing,,f'My road must
be through character to power; I will try
no other course" our country would not
be disgraced by disclosures like those re-
Gently made, showing how corruption Is
hourishing everywhere, how interruptions
financiers are fattening on dividends wrung
from poverty's hard earnings, millionaires
are buying privileges from senators and
statesmen, who. in their turn, are pur-
chasing their path to power not by serving
in the best of their ability the people whom
they were elected to represent but by be-
traying them and debauching others
through their necessities by buying the
votes that elect them to Office. This is the
spectacle that is being held up to us by
magazines and newspapers all over the
country.
What pitiable picture it is to see a man
who has been long in public life and who
has the divine gift of eloquence, the power
to stir and sway people. but who has SO
forfeited his right to public confidence by
debauching his word, and by breaking his
promises, that he carries no weight what
ever People may still listen to him and
applaud, but they do not trust him, for they
feel that when a man has bartered for
patronage, or for business, the best that is
In him, he is like a noble building that has
been burned out. His heart and his char
acter are gone He Is simply an empty
shell.
What is a man good for when you cannot
tell where he stands, or what he stands
for, or whether he stands for anything or
not? OF what use can a man be when he
has betrayed his dearest friends. when he
has sold out his party, when he has for
feited the approval of his own conscience,
and when he is known to stoop to anything
which will give him seeming personal ad-
vantage? Would any one trust a Judas
who has betrayed his Master?-a Benedict
Arnold who has old his country?
People do not put. their confidence In
property, or in position they put 1t in the
man. That man only is rich who has the
confidence of his fellow men, who has never
betrayed his trust, who has never gone
back on his word, or smirched his honor,
and who can look his conscience sQuarely
in the face without fiinching.
There Is only one thing that persists
through all history, and through all
changes, which not only Is not tarnlshed
or dimmed by time. but Will grow brighter
through all eternity. and that is character.
Nothing can annihilate It: nothing can stop
its onward march and its increasing power.
1t is a living principle, as indestructibIe as
the laws Of mathematics.

A Lost Secret,
00oC kCOICC.
From the FortnightIy Review

Inc beauty of earth except for Soma
spots that our sordid Industries have
raVaged. has altered but little since the
Gays OF Augustus and Pericles. The sea is
INFINITE still, still inviolate. The forest. the
plain, the harvest, the villages, rivers and
streams, the mountains, the dawn and the
evening stars and the sky-vary as these
all may according to climate and latitude
oHer us stlll the same spectacles of gran
deur and tenderness, the same soft, pro-
found harmonies the same fairy-like scenes
of changing complexity, that they showed
to the Athenian citizens and the people of
Rome. Nature remains more or less as it
was; and besides. We have grown more
sensitive, and today can admire more free
ly. But when we turn to the beauty special
to man. the beauty that is his own imme-
date aim, We find that, owing perhaps to
our too great wealth or excessive applica-
ton, to the scattering of our efforts, lack
or concentration, or to the want of a GER
tain goal and an incontestable starting point
we appear to have lost almost all that the
anclentS had been able to establish and
make their own. In all that regards purely
human esthetfcs, in what concerns our
body, our gestures, our clothes. the objects
we live with. our houses and gardens our
monuments, even our landscapes, we are
cropping so timidly, we display such con-
fusion and inexperience, that one might
truly believe our occupation of this planet
to date but from yesterday, and that we
are still at the very beginning of the period
of adaptation. For the work of our hands
there exists no longer a common measure,
an accepted rule or conviction. Our paint
ers. our architects, our sculptors our men
of letterS-and we in our homes, our cities
seek in a thousand different contradictory
directions for the sure, the undeniable
beauty that the ancients possessed 80 fully.
Should one of US by any chance create join
%La,, n faxr L,r-
mOny of form or color, that should incon-
testably prove that the mysterious, decisive
point had been attained, it would be re-
garded as the merest hazard, as an isolated
and precious phenomenon. and neither the
author nor any one else would be able to
repeat it.

Humans Who Live in Nests.
From the Chicago Journal.

Travellers who have returned from the
heart of Africa and the Australian CONT
nent tell wonderful stories OF nest-building
people who inhabit the wilds Of those coun-
tries. The bushmen of Australia are per-
haps the lowest order of men known. They
are SO primitive that they do not know
enough to build even the simplest form Of
hut for shelter. The nearest they can ap-
proach 1t is to gather a lot of twigs and
grass and taking them into a thicket or
jungle, build a nest for home. The nest
Is usually built large enough for the family,
and IL the latter be very numerous then the
nests are Of large size. Sometimes the
foliage above will form a natural covering.
but there is never any attempt at construct
Ing protection from storms.

Presidential years are always credited
with being the causes OF dull business
times through the country and times may
be said to be not exactly easy now. caus-
ing a certain falling off in the sale of
certain luxurles and a cutting Off OF some
necessities.
Under which OF these heads marriage

but it is certain, according 10 the nsures
at the city hall that this June. the month
OF deddings." In the first leap year there
has been i'm eight years. there were 43
less marriages than during the corre-
spending month last year.
Then 2s9 couples stepped on and were
made one. but this year only 2S6 pairs
we're ready 10 take this step. The only
reason for n Is the hard times.
Ths statistics o fthe office show that
November and June are the Two most
popular months for weddings, the former
being the favorite with the classes In
rnoderafe circumstances and the latter
the fashionable month. When times are
good tho number of the people IN moder-
ate circumstances that want styIsh
wedding Is greater. so that lately June
has been the most popular.
How far as this Is from being true

Chatham, Mass, July LA large bark
entine, apparently light, struck on Chat
ham bar early today in dense fog and
during the forenoon she heeled over
shoreward as the tide continued to ebb.
The vessel was sighted just after
o'clock by the keepers OF the Chatham
and the Chatham old Harbor life saving
stations.
AS the crews at the stations are not on
duty during the summer months, the
KEEPERS were obliged TO await the arrival
OF men from Chatham before boats could
go to the stranded craft. The barkentlne
flew distress signals from her mizzen
mast head and the station keepers SET
colors from their house staffs for as
sistance. Men from Chatham put of in
four boats.
The sea was smooth and apparently no
damage had been sustained by the yes

that she struck at about high water
about daylight. She went on close 70 the
inner bay and when the tide fell'htue
water was left about her.
The identity of the barkentine was not
established until the Chatham men board
ed her.
The vessel proved 10 be the British
harkentine Albertina OF Windsor, n. 3,
bound from New York 10 Yarmouth, n.

The Albertina is commanded by Captain
Chritsianson. While running over the
shoals last night the barkentine struck
an unknown derelict in mid channel be-
tween Pollock Rip and Shovelful Shoal.
Her head gear was carried away and
hole was torn in the port bow. she was
otherwise damaged. but no one was hurt.
Captain Christianson did not know that
a hole had been torn in the bow until
sometime after the accident when he
found that water was making rapidly In

the south. BY o'clock, however, the
wind had eased up and the surface of
the river was smoother than earlier in
the morning.
FOUR-OARED RACE.
The four-oared race was started at $40
and Harvard won by something over
length, after a race unique in the history
OF this course. Yale practically led
throughout the race, only TO go to pieces
In the last half-mile, while Harvard, in
a grand squirt. crossed the line.
The event was rowed in a deplorable
confusion OF official arrangements. With
out warning this race Was allowed to
precede the big event of the day, contrary
to all arrangements. There were almost
no spectators. There were no observa-
ton trains. Dozens of newspaper men
were stranded in the city and did not
witness the race. Official boats scurried
about the river madly and without warn
ing the two crews were ordered TO their
positions at the start at the navy yard
for the two-mile row upstream.
YALE IN THE LEAD.
The conditions were good. The pistol
was fired at $40 and Harvard jumped to
