Gulf of Mexico Is Deep,

An elaborate report has been received
at the Navy Department from Lieut..
Solely, U. S. N, on the gulf stream.
Lieut.. Solely has charge of the hydro
graphic Office at New Orleans and he
shows conclusively in his report that
the gulf stream has an existence in the
Cuff of Mexico, fact which has hith-
erto been in dispute.
According to Lieut.. Solely the stream
flows in the Gulf of Yucutan channel,
where the water is deep. 1900 fathoms
In the center, and flows out through
the Straits of Florida, where the depth
Is less. The center Of the gulf Is a
deep hole of large area, more than 1000
fathoms deep. and the water here Is
very cold. The main current of the
gulf Is a distinct part of the gulf
stream.
1t comes from the equatorial current,
flowing westward through the Carib-
bean sea, which Is warm, with a tenn
perature of 80 degrees, until 1t flows
into the cooler waters of the gulf by
the Yucatan channel. The stream fol-
lows the general line of the coast until
it passes out by Florida. There are
some counter currents In the gulf. A
notable fact Is that the currents of all
the rivers emptying into the Gulf Of
Mexico turn to the right-to tho west
at Mobile and the delta of the Missis-
sippi, and to the south along the Mex
lean coast.

the white muslin curtain, and the
roses on their tall bushes nodded across
the window stills at the caller. The
caller smiled back at them and drew a
long breath of the delicately perfumed
air.
He was a young man who liked roses
and green fields and the charm of the
countryside. And he liked the restful
quiet Of the little sitting room.
He arose quickly as a lady entered
the room.

When the children sit the old stone wall
Cracking and eating the sweet new nuts,
And throwing the shells in the roadside ruu
The autumn days are the days for me-
They may be short, but they're full Of gleeI
And short days bring Us the evenings long
For reading and study, or mirth and song.
Delightful gifts have the autumn hours
The brilliant vines and the snowy flowers.
The moonbeams witchng, the noontbdes kind
The woodland treasures that ramblers find.
Something for cleaners in every field!
And see what the vineyards and orchards yieldi

She read about it in the back OF
magazine. The advertisement said that
it was tasteless, that it could be ad-
ministered in the breakfast coffee, and
that it would cure the most confirmed
smoker OF the tobacco habit without
his knowledge.
To be sure, Elmer smoked only three
or four cigars day. Still, why should
he smoke at all? She didn't.
So she wrote for the cure, and in due
time it arrived, in plain, sealed pack
age, with full instructions inside.
Unfortunately it arrived before she
was up. Elmer opened it, smiled 10
himself, sealed it up again and said
