WHEN THE ICE

GREAT BRlTAiN'S MILD CLIMATE
DUE TO THE GULF
STREAM.

A tourist recently returned from an
Alaskan tour is showing some views
acquired while on the trip. One of his
guests picks up one of the photographs
and says: Here is one which must
have got in the bundle by mistake
for it looks more like Florida pic.
.ture than anything else. Surely il
was not taken in the arctic regions?'
The picture was that of a beautiful
winding footpath leading through dense
foliage. The tree boughs are festoon
ed with fernlike vines reflected on the
surface of limpid stream, giving the
appearance much like the wood scenes
of Florida.
NO." replied the tourist, that shows
little road leading out of Sitka, the
capital of Alaska, and is but sample
of the condition of verdancy to be
seen in the vicinity of that town. The
hundreds of little islands in the bay
of Sitka are covered thickly with fol-
iage which is most beautiful green

Kept Alive by Gulf Stream.
The people of England are SO de-
pendent on the gulf stream that they
are constantly confronted with the
fear that it will some time go out OF
business or play some trick on them
which will result in dire disaster to
the little island. The statement has
been made that without the gulf stream
England would be frozen up tight. A
few weeks ago CONSERVATION was Gre
ated by the report that the gulf stream
was being reversed; that it was flow
ing backward. 1t was not so, how.
ever, but the fact that the long con-
tinued north winds retarded it's flow
and even turned back surface skim

a precarious hold of his usually gen

OF course. the main factor on which
the temperature of a place depends
is its distance from the equator. How.
then, does it happen that England is so
favored by nature? There are several
reasons. Warm ocean currents flow
toward its western shores, coming up
from the southwest. If England were

The Dull Boy.

If the list of college graduates who
carry off the "honors" fixed the status
of the dull boys for life the outlook
would be rather depressing. Statistics
show that the men who are distin-
guished in their college careers, as
rule, reach distinction and leader
ship in some form in the world, but
the number Of graduates standing dan
gerously near the foot of the class
who have achieved notable success in
the professions and other pursuits is
encouragingly large. The slow boy
in school often gives an excellent &C.
count of himself in the fierce competi-
tions of after life. Some youths de-
velop very slowly, and do not imme-
diately find their vocation. The hon
or men at the university must pos
sess adapta oliity for the mastery of
all or nearly all the studies in the
curriculum. Deficiency in mathemat-
les may reduce the rank of the stu
dent who is an adept in the langu-
ages. Greek may be a stumbling
bloc kto the youth who may be a
mathematical genius. Outside the col.
lege walls tho graduate can develop
along chosen lines and find his
sphere. The electric courses are oft
en- found of great value in directing
the student IN intellectual paths to
which his capacity and inclination nat
urally lead him.--Philadelphia Led

The other controlling idea seems
to have been to get men on the In

the community. and whose conscience
enables them to distinguish between
square dealing and common theft
Altogether the personnel of the cam

select candidates against the Peabody

be desired by those who advocate hon
esty and economy in life insurance
management. These men inspire con-
tidence. These gentlemen have rails
