THE GULF STREAM.

Its Edges Se Sharply Defined That
They Are VisibIs.
That the edges Of the gulf stream
are 80 sharply defined that they are
visible has been reported on more than
one occasion. The phenomenon was re-
Gently witnessed by Captain James
Horne Of the British ship Loeb Garry
On a recent trip from Australia TO Bos-
ton. A writer In Shipping Illustrated
says: The Loeb Garry q few DAYS be-
fore arrival at Boston lay becaImed
when q ripple on the sea surface
aroused anticipation not of wind, as
was supposed but Of the close proxim-
ity Of the mighty river in the ocean
known a. the gulf stream. Spars, lum-
Der, q life buoy and other nOtsam were
borne past the ship to the eastward at
the rate Of about a couple Of miles an
hour, yet the vessel herself remained
IN the unaffected portion OF the ocean,
which served, as 1t were, as q bank for
the comparatively warm waters Of the
river In nidocean.
zone hay night during the civil war
q blockade runner left Wilmington,
N. C., intent ON gaining the open sea.
Next morning q federal paddle wheel
warship hove In sight not far distant
and at once bore down. The blockade
runner wa within an ace Of capture
when suddenly her captain noticed
and fully recognized the gulf stream
ripple. he edged her away to cross
the prOvidential ripple without awak-
ening suspicion In the minds Of the
pursuers, got into the favorable eur
rent while the paddle wheeler was
striving against the adverse current on
the other side Of the ripple and got
clear away.
"A Nantucket whaler, Captain Fol-
ger, first pointed out to Franklin that
the gulf stream was a decided factor
IN the passage making problem OF
those sailing ship days. Rhode Island
merchants had complained that the
packets were longer making the trans
atlantic passage than the ordinary car
90 carriers despite the fact that the
latter followed a more circuitous route.
Captain Folger showed that, while the
gulf stream retarded the packets along
the northern track, It helped the less
well found cargo carriers keeping well
south"

Make, Straw Hard =, Metal.

A new process Of manufacturing
Erawboard has been invented. It is
asserted that in preparing the straw
pulp the addition Of the process Will
give the strawboard sufficient hard
ness to take the place Of metal for ma

been proven by a practical test. By

nodded into any shape. The difference

The Professor,a Lot.

Only a short time ago a college
teacher spoke seriously in public Of
the banker, the lawyer and even Of the
burglar as being In touch with life In
q truer sense than is the university
professor. And the professors fire.
quent reference to the poor rewards
and all the outward hardships Of their
work indicates some little envy Of the
goods OF life which come to the mer-
chant, the lawyer and the physician.
Yet there is no lot on earth that offers
greater rewards and greater opportuni-
ties. And when an individual has
grievances the blame Is often placed
primarily on the president, since the
form Of organization encourages the
professors to place the responsibility
anywhere but on themselves. It would
be more fitting If their constitution
gave no excuse, but constantly invited
each to perceive that with himself

when we learn that pitchblende, the

Agricultural Experiment Station

BrOokings, S. d. Feb. 2, 1907.
Dear Sir
The Experiment Station has every
year in the past tested a large number
OF samples of seed corn for farmers.
We wish to make this a strong feature
of our work this year and to that end
invite your cooperation.
Never before in the history of the
state has the vitality and terminating
power of seed corn been as low as it is
this year. There is but a small per
of the corn husked this fall that
will grow at all, and the vitality in a
great deal of it that does show life is
so low that when planted it wiiinever
reach the top of the ground. ! know
that these are the actual conditions
that exist but that / may have the
data to drive the Importance of it
home to each farmer l want to test
several Thousand samples of seed corn
before spring.
To help us to get these samples,

want, as well as to help the farmer
whose seed is tested, / would ask you
to insert in your columns such local
or locals as you may see fit calling
attention in as forcible a as
you al to the general poor condition
of seed corn throughout the northwest
and stating that we will test and re-
port on the vitality Of all samples of
seed that are sent us. Two kernels
taken from each of one hundred carr
makes a good sample for such a test.
This is a part of the campaign to
secure a good crop another year, and
as such / think needs no argument to
convince you of it's value to your
locality. Yours truly,
John S. Cole,
Agronomist.

A Rag Time Social.

Beresford News: A rag time social
was held last Thursday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Severson.
The company assembled at the home
of Albert Hegnes to Elk up" their
ragged apparel. After being trim
med up they marched to the Severson
home and Mr.. and Mrs. Severson were
called to the front door by one of the
party. While conversing the whole
tribe Of intruders had taken posses
sion of the parlor, having gone in at
the back door, to the surprise Of the
occupants. To describe the different
s'make-ups" would be impossible, but
the read can judge for himself that
the company had a roaring good time.
Just like the real Weary Willies these
people refused to go away before they
had a bite and nc cold lunches we're
served on them either. Those pres
emit were: Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Heg-
ness, DR.. and Mrs. j. S. Upland, Misses
Anna Seyerson, Bertha Fundingsland,
Hannah Jacobson, Emily Anderson,
MeSsrs. Peder Hegnes, Ed Lind,
Jake jacobson and Will Johnson.

School Notes.

Through an oversight the following
were omitted from the list OF
those who have been neither tardy
nor absent for the first half year:
Victor Cloud, Nora Bradfield,
Minnie O'Neil, all of No. l, East side
and Harry Clendennen, 9th grade.
Mrs. Dunlap has been quite Ill for
several days and unable to teach.
Her place was filed by Mrs. Wood
burn all last week. Miss Isackson is
doing the work this week and Mrs.
Dunlap's friends are hoping she will
be able to go back to school herself
by next Monday.
The Parker girls want a game for
Saturday afternoon this week. Ii
this game is arranged, look out for
further announcements and attend
the game. 1t will be a good one.
Some one carried away from school
the impression that certain low
grades given the past quarter were
in part due to unsatisfactory deport-
grades were given on the basis OF
scholarship alone. If any mistake
has been made, the superintendent
or the teacher in charge, will be only
too glad to set it right. In most
cases all that is needed is more study.
The teachers of the city schools
meet next Tuesday night with Miss
Oliver for their lesson study. They
are reading "Dickens as an Educat
orr and are getting many valuable
ideas from it.
