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

A great scientific mystery OF the Pa
ciiic ocean has just been solved, at least
theoretically. The experimental veri-
ication 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
II rests. says Garrett p. Serviss, In Sue
cess.
The mystery IA 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 antithesls In relative
temperature and In direction to the
gulf stream of the Atlantic coast but
mlghtier than the latter IN volume, and

existence largely to the influence OF this

the great current spreads out over the
center of the Pacific, touching the Ha-

influence IL benefcently felt. with the
result that those islands enjoy a mUre
uniformly agreeable and salubrious
climate than any other land lying in
similar latitude
Now, in a general way, and without
much critical examination, geographers
and oceanographers have hitherto as
sumed that this Pacific current was an
offshoot or or a complement to- the

4 MODEL OF PATRIOTISM.
Gen. william Mouitrie's atanoh Ad-
hsrence to the Cause Of
Independence.


/ In the year 1850 the city Of CharlestoE
had been attacked by a British forcS
which had completely overwhelmed the
revolutionary forces which had been un.
der the command of Gen. William
Moultrie. William Moultrie had In the
same year defended the fortress at Sui
livan's island so bravely and so ably that
the name OF the fort had been changed
to Fort Moultrie, relates the Chicago
Journal. But the attack on Charleston
by superior force both by land and by
sea was impossible TO withstand. The
city was taken and MouitrIe taken prls-
oner by the British soldiers.
While he was held on board a British
man-of-war the officers, knowing that
he was by birth an Engllshman. and
thinking TO induce him TO leave the
cause OF the revolutionists. offered him
every inducement which they thought
would tempt the American soldier. Pc
euniary compensation and the command
of a regiment in the Island of Jamaica
were promised him IL he would but leave
the service In which he was enlisted
But the only answer he would give them
was: "Not the fee-slmple OF all jamaica
would induce me to part with my integ-
rity."
Although the release Of Gen Moultrie
from his captivity came too late TO al

In the war of the revolution, his exam
