How to Make Life Long
and Happy

TN his work on Preventative
Medicine" DR.. Benjamin w.
Richardson has this to say on
the rules for preventing the undue
waste of the bodily energies:
THE rules of right living should
begin in youth. 1t should be the
habit of grown-up persons never
to subject children to mental shocks
and unnecessary griefs. When in
the surroundings of the child life
some grave calamity has occurred
it is best to make the event as light
as possible to the child, and GER
tainly to avoid thrilling it with
sights and details which stir it to
the utmost, and, in the end, only
leave upon the mind and heart in
durable wounds and expressions.
Children should not be taken to fu-
nerals, nor to sights that cause a
sense of fear and dread combined
with great grief.
ITO avoid premature old age in
mature life, the following are i'm
portant rules to remember:
Dwelling on the Inevitable past,
forming vain hypothesis as to what
might have been If this or that had
or had not been, acquiring a craze
for recounting what has occurred
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-05-04

these acts do more harm to fu-
ture health and effort than manv
things connected with real caIa mi
ty. Occupation and new pursuits
are the best preventives for mental
shock and bereavement.
Hate keeps the heart alwavs a.
full tension. 1t gives rise to on
preston of the brain and senses
1t confuses the whole man. II roha
the stomach of nervous power. and.
digestion being injured, the failure
of life begins at once.
The facial expression Of jealousy
is old age in however young
face it may be cast. jealousy prev.
upon and kills the heart. So Jealous
men are not only unhappy. bu+
broken hearted and live short lives
l have never known a man of teal
Gus nature live anything like
long life. The prevention for teal
ousy is diversion of mind toward
useful and unselfsh work.
Everything that interfereg with
chastity favors vital deteriorat ion
while the grosser departures from
chastity. leading to specific and
hereditary disease, are certain
causes of organic degeneration and
premature old age"
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-05-04
- The Mystery of the Gulf Stream =
The Atlantic Ocean Great Engine For the Conveyance Heat

great current Is set flowing in the
Atlantic from the direction of
Africa toward America. When this
current encounters South America
q large part of it is sheered off
northwestward. and entering the
Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mex
lea, is heaped up there, until it
escapes again, mainly through the
straits of Florida, thus giving birth
to the gulf stream. This stream,
flowing northeastward in the North
Atlantic, as we have already said,
gradually spreads wider and loses
its force, but not until it has
crossed the ocean. going eastward.
A large part of this water, turning
southwark again in the middle of
the Atlantic. is drawn once more
into the westward current caused
by the trade winds. 30 that the
whole ocean is kept in motion like
an enormous eddy, whose northern
edge moves eastward while the
southern edge moves westward.
But while the principal cause OF
this wonderful circulation of the
ocean waters is that which we have
described, yet minor influences also
affect 1t, the chief of these being
the winds that blow across the At
lantic in a direction which is main
ly from west toward east. These
winds aid the circulation OF the
water, and variation in their force
or direction may al times greatly
affect the speed and trend of the
currents.
Looking at all this broadly. we
see that, in the great oceanic cur
rents, nature has solved a vast
problem which has always appealed
TO the Imagination of man, but
which he is too weak in resources
to solve for himself and that is the
UTILIZATION OF THE EARTHS
ROTATION to produce mechanical
power Through the intervention
of the constant winds. arising from
the rotation, nature transforms
this force into a motion of the sea
waters, And. more than that, by
means of this motion. carrying
warm water from the equator to-
ward the poles. the climates of i'm
mense regions of the earth are
changed widely from what they
would be if the ocean were stag
nant 1t has been calculated that
if all the oceanic currents were ar
rested. the temperature of the
equator would rise So degrees. and
that of the poles would become SO
degrees lower than at present. The
British Isles and northern Europe
would become almost arctic in eli
mate. for the mean temperature In
the latitude OF London would sink
to 10 degrees. 1t has also been cal
culated that the quantity of heat
daily conveyed northward by the
gulf stream is equivalent to that
received by 100000 square miles
of the earth's surface under the
perpendicular sun of the equator.

a CCORDING to the reports of
~ many sea captains, tcebergs
have this year appeared in
the Atlantic ocean more abundant
ly and farther south than ever be-
fore Some have thought that the
Titanic disaster was the result of a
temporary change In the direction,
or force, Of the gulf stream The
captain of an Italian steamship saw
a berg 800 feet long, and rising so
feet above the sea, In latitude 80
degrees, 20 minutes. longitude 40
degrees. minutes. That point is
in the middle of the north Atlantic,
as far south as Baltimore. A few
hundred miles farther north the
berg fields of ice have recently COW
cred hundreds of square miles of
the oceans surface. Some reports
indicate that the Titanic ran at a
speed of % miles an hour, between
two spreading wings of an immense
fleet of icebergs. which were ar
