book told Of the immense effect Of the
guli stream en the climate Of various
parts Of the world. and it led lneyit-
fably TO assertions that a mere shift
of the stream might make a summer
resort Of many places where the win
ters were long and severe. might af-
feet seriously the climate Of the Medi-
terranean countries and cause no end
Of meteorological upheaval generally.
The United States government was
working on the problem Of the gulf
stream for years before It arrived az
its present knowledge Of the phenom-
enon. It is now known pretty definite
" that the gulf stream is caused main
" by the different rates Of speed at
which the yariGus parts Of the earth
.revolve, by the difference In density
Of polar and equatorial waters, by the
winds which are caused by the revo-
luton Of the earth, by the heaping up
on the coast Of South America Of
great masses Of water, and by solar
and lunar tides.
Lieut. J. E. Pillsbury of the United
States navy made careful study Of
the gulf stream at the northern en-
trance to the Straits Of Florida, and
determined that the hourly aow there
is about 90,OO0,OOO tons of water an
hour. At three knots an hour, about
1900 OOO, 100000 tons day flow
through.
AS recently as 1897, when there was
an abnormally cold winter in Massa-
chusetts, many persons thought that
the changing of the course Of the gulf
stream was the principal meteorolog-
ical factor
In May, 1906, a steamship captain
said in New York that he found the
gulf stream near Florida running
westward at a rate Of knot and a
half an hour, instead Of northeast al
that same ratN, and the strength of
the stream all along the coast was
much more feeble than usual. In June
Of this year the captain of a Dominion
line steamer arriving at Portland
from Liverpool, reported that in west
longitude 40 degrees he found the
gulf stream running in a westerly d.
rection, instead Of the usual easterly
course.
Last July 1t was reported bv the
skipper Of Morgan liner that the
gulf stream had changed its eastward
course southwest Of the Florida penin-
suIa and was running west.
All Of those cases have been called
to the attention Of the United States
photographic Office, but the authori-
ties there laugh at the idea Of anv
but a slight and temporary aberra.
tion Of the gulf stream from its usual
channels. 1t was stated that winds
changed the currents in many places
but that the gulf stream was follow.

said also that as river in the
