year. Mother only half-fancied the expedi-
tion. She had many thoughts and fears as to
the provisioning of such a large family, but
she was outvoted by the young folk, and as
nothing pleased her so much as to see them
all happy, she at length assented to the ar
rangement.
''You know, mother" said Charlie, "that
as we are to have boat on the loch, of
course we will be able to supply you with any
quantity Of trout"
"And, besides" added Tom, "there must
of course be some kind of shop, or else how
could the natives live?"
"And who cares for beef and mutton in the
sweet Highland gens?" cried Lucy; "for
my part, If | get some milk, and a little honey
to my bread, l care for nothing else ;and we
are sure of honey, mother dear, beside the
heather"
Mother listened, smiled, and said nothing;
but while she quickly knitted away at her
woodwork, she thought to herself-"Mrs Nc
Fhcrson, / believe, keeps poultry, so / sup
pose we may count upon eggs, and n fowl
now and then; but Charles and Tom dear
boys, are growing fast eggs are all very well
at breakfast, but at dinner" However
here they were; and oh! how lovely every
thing was; their. cottage nesting in nook
OF the heather hill, while the deep, silent
ioch, lay far beneath, shimmering in the
bright August sun.
1t was early in the day when they arrived
and mother at once proposed a second break
fast, which was eagerly seconded by one and
all, Mrs. Mcpherson coming in, all smiles,
with some fine trout caught in the lake that
very morning.
The boys were in transports of delight, and
could scarcely finish their meal, so anxious
were they to use the pretty boat which lay
moored to a jetty, down below. The younger
children ran off by themselves, while Lucy,
tying OF her hat, was preparing to follow her
brothers, when she heard her mothers voice.
Lucy dear, stay moment. I've been talk
ing to Mrs. Mcpherson about dinner and she
tells me that cart passes twice week with
days yet. Now, dear, am sorry to keep you
from the boat; but would you mind going to

The question now to consider is, why are

gull is the great receptacle for the currents

Then the great equatorial current, which
sweeps from the shores of Africa across the

over during its course by the warm southeast
trade winds, which also evaporates large
quantities of water, while leaving behind its
salts.
So these great currents pile up their very
