Gulf Stream No Nautical Degenerate Or
Wandering Sea Willie, Says Pillsbury

New York. Sept. 22.-According to
Capt. John E. Pillsbury, chief of staff
of Rear Admiral Evans fleet, who
ought to know, the gulf stream is not
a nautical degenerate and it has been
wandering around to the peril of the
moral standing of the average marin
err, as has been reported of late.
Capt. Pillsbury spent five long years
anchored or otherwise in the gulf
stream. He has written a score of
books on the subject and he is con-
sidered the best posted man in the
American navy in that line.
In the chart room of the flagship
Maine, Capt Pillsbury said that the
gulf stream is all right and that mas
ter mariners and other shellbacks who
have been coming to port with pic
turesque yarns about the supposed
misbehaviOr of the most important
current in the world are all wrong.
The latest story as to the erratic
conduct of the gulf stream came from
Boston the other day, to the effect that
the stream had worked in to within
twenty-five miles of Cape Ann.
Another seafarer, who arrived at
New England port, brought the inter-
esting tidings that he found the gulf
stream running west instead OF east.
About six months ago two steamers
arrived her many hours before they
"'ere expected from West Indian ports.
Their captains explained that the YES
sells had Travelled faster than their
engines and propellers warranted, and
they reported to the Maritime Ex-
change that in their opinion something
had disturbed the gulf stream, giving
it greater speed, which resulted in the
arrival OF the ships ahead of time.
These mariners said that they
thought a submarine earthquake had
accelerated the flow Of the stream, and
they didn't smile when they said it.
All Of these alleged eccentricities
were brought to the attention Of Capt.
Pillsbury, and this is what he said:
"Ail nonsense. The impression that
the gulf stream changes its course
materially or that 1t cuts up peculiar
capers is due to one of two things.
Either the mariners do not know what
course they are steering or they do
not understand their ships.
1T takes some time for any man to
discover the countless peculiarities Of
the average ocean going vessel.
Il venture the prediction that the
gulf stream Is not within 300 miles Of
Cape Ann and not less than $50 miles
near Cape Cod. In the command of
the surveying steamer Blake l spent

Polyanth,,s Narcins,,n.
Closely following the hyacinth and

grown in shallow pans and dishes,
the bulbs placed close together in
a bed of pure white sand. Each dish
confined from six to ten fine bulbs
of the same variety and of uniform
size. which insured their coming into
bloom at the same time. thus making
a splendid display such as could not
be produced by potting singly.
Growing In sand or Water.
1t will be necessary even when
grown in this way. TO give the bulbs
an opportunity TO make root growth
in cool dark place. With the sacred
lily it is not considered absolutely
necessary, however. better results are
ever obtained by so doing. Since
the roots of the hyacinth and daffodils
are sent out from the base of the bulb,
only the base should be kept under
water. When growing in sand, keep
the water ever just below the surface,
never over the surface, and when
growing in water. never allow the
bulb to be covered above the point of
their greatest width. During the
period of root formation it will be
necessary to place something of con-
siderable weight over the bulbs to
prevent the strong firm roots from
growing straight down, thus making
the plants look as if on stills, as one
often sees them. and which complete

ROBBING THE CHURCHES IN
FRANCE.
Tremendous Increase of This Form of
Burglary-A Hundred Thousand
Dollar Crown of a Saint
Among the Loot.

Among the Loot.
Paris, Sept 22-An unlooked-for
result Of the present conflict between
the civil and ecclesiastic authorities
in France is the enormous increase
of thefts of church property. In the
last three weeks eighty-fve COM
plants of robbery from churches of
jewels, pictures, statues and other OBJ
Jects of art have been received at the
Offices of Paris, Lyons, Marseilles,
Nancy, Chartres and Rennes. So far,
none of the persons who committed
these thefts have been detected.
Among the objects stolen are dozen
gold altar cups, seventy silver candle
sticks, eleven crucifixes in ivory or
ebony mounted in silver, antique
bronze, silver ornaments, eighteenth
century chandeliers, paintings execu-
ted by seventeenth century artists,
relics and objects that can never be
replaced. The violent discussions in
the daily newspapers concerning the
treasures contained in. the churches
and the fantastic tales about the value
of objects included in the inventories
required by the separation law seem
to have excited the cupidity Of pro-
fessional thieves. Moreover, theft
from church under the old regime
was crime of sacrilege punishable
with death, and the criminal classes
have, as a rule, been imbued, until
recently with sort of holy terror in
regard to stealing from churches.
With the new law, however, this un-
written code seems to have vanished.
1t Is a great pity, because small OBJ
jects of art in French churches are
becoming exceedingly rare
Louis XIV, in order to raise funds
sent out only large part of his royal
plate to the mint to be coined, but
also urged the bishops and nobility to
follow his example. Gold and silver
chalices, communion plates and other
articles were ruthlessly transferred
from the churches to the mint. Dur
ing the revolution almost every
precious object not previously con-
cealed by the curates was stolen or
destroyed. With the first empire
came the reaction, and works of ar,
that remained in the cathedrals and
churches, or that had been returned
to them, were most jealousy guarded

MILITARY PREPARATIONS
AGAINST CHINA.

In its determination to hold the
troops in the Philippines in readiness
for immediate mobilization the admin
istration Is evidently going on the
sound theory Il o. should developments
in China require showing of force,
promptness in getting into action will
be a CHEF. Whatever may come of
the present crisis-and it is undoubted
" serious military men do not con-
ceal their belief that an armed expedi-
ton into china at no distant day is not
improbable. Army officers at Manila
are reported as considering the ms5lves
practically under orders for emergency
service and Secretary Taft himself
admits that the recent additions to the
fol &c in the PHILIPPINES have been made
with the possibility, of Chinese ex-
petition in view.
According to the latest Official bu llet
in there are now i'll the Philippines
twelve regiments and part of one 9TH
er regiment of irfanry, four regiments
of cavalry and five batteries of field
artillery, and 60 this force may be add
ed 5000 nativePhilippi1e scouts, made
up of so companies OF 100 men each,
Four regiments of cavalry and seven
batteries of artillery are soon to be
sent to the islands. Taking into ac-
count the total availale troops and the
reenforcements on the way, it is pro-
bable that force of between 35, 900
and 100000 will be gathered in the
Philippines within the next two or
three months. ........ ..-..
Only part of the Philippine force,
however, could be made available for
service in China, late reports as to the
temper of the native population in
parts of the archipelago indicating that
it would be unsafe to reduce the fight
ing strength there to any considerable
extent. Presumably the contemplated
invasion would involve the use of only
such regiments as might be necessary
to protect legations, merchants and
missionaries. Protection must be
supplied, of course, if it is needed, but
the possible consequences of landing
comparatively small force in china at
the present time are hardly to be con.
templated without mlsgiving. china of
