THE GULF STREAM.
No Material Change In Its Course In
Modern Times.

No Material Change In Its Course In
Modern Times.
Much has been said in recent years
in regard to the changing route OF the
gulf stream. Indeed the character Of
this steady. consistent and answering
body was getting 50 maligned that the
government looked into the matter
with the result that this mysterious
current of the ocean was entirely vim
dicated. Experts declare that there is
no change in the course nor has there
been for many years.
No other physical feature Of the
ocean Is subject to more persistent
misinterpretation than is the gulf
stream. All vagaries Of climate are
laid to its charge. 1t is pet theory
of many that the temperature of Eu
rope Is greatly affected by 1t. but this
idea Is held by high authorities to be
erroneous. 1t Is not as extensive as is
commonly thought. Practically start
ing at the Florida strait. where its
volume Is made up by the union Of
currents. 1t ceases to be a true cur
rent by the time 1t reaches the south
ern limit of the Grand banks, where 1t
becomes surface drift. governed by the
winds.
The government experts aver that
there has been absolutely no material
change In the gulf streams course In
modern times.-New York Press.

PRIDE ON BOTH SIDES.
A Story Of the Duke Of Somerset and
tho Artist Seymour.

e"c SoyVSNss
We have all heard of the proud"
Duke of Somerset. but we do not all
know Of the occasion on which his
pride had u fall The story is told In
"The Glrnbervie Journals"
1t seems that the duchess had sent
for Seymour. Il celebrated painter Of
horses. to make the portrait Of a race
horse ut Petworth. Seymour during
his stay used TO dine In the stewards
room. but one day the duke was so
pleased with the picture as 1t ad-
vanced that he desired that he would
dine nt his table.
AT dinner Seymour. who probably
had not been expected to mix in the
conversation. took occasion to say that
he believed he had the honor to be re-
lated to his grace. This gave such Of
fense that he was either sent away or
put so much out Of humOr as to 20
away from Petworth without finish
Ing the picture.
Afterward the dukes pride gave way
to the desire he had of possessing
good portrait Of his favorite horse.
and he ordered his steward to write to
Seymour and engage him TO return to
finish his work at Petworth.
Seymour directed his reply to the
duke himself In these words: Your

purchase provisions. He went into a
saloon ON the way. and the adroit in
mates contrived to rob him of all his
money. The captain of the boai. Il de-
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope Of persuading them to refund.
but they declined.
Without further ceremony the cap
tain. assisted by his crew and pasSen-
gers. some 300 or 400 in number. made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been
committed. Then he allowed fifteen
minutes for the money to be forth
coming. vowing that if it were not
produced within that time he would
put steam to his boat and drag the
house into the river.
The thieves knew that he would
keep his word. and the money was
promptly produced.

In III the rock was taken by the Arab

treSs on the promontory. Part Of these
ruins are still extant. In 1909 it was
taken by the Castiians. only to be re
captured by the Moors in 1888. 1t was
held by them until l462. Following the
taking and sacking Of Gibraltar in
works were built there by order of
Charles V.
In l7O4 the promontory was cap
tured by combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt. fighting for the Archduke
Charles Of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw of the alliance with the Aus

the works.
British possession since that time
has been unbroken. although 1t was

years and eight months. beginning in
