A World Wireless Service,
Arrangements are being made for
the establishment of regular wireless
service across Behring Sea, between
the American and Russian govern
ments, which will insure Geographic
communication between America and
Asia at all times, even in the event
vice. The projected service, taken
into connection with the existing
transatlantic radio service, completes
the circuit Of the globe by this means
of communication. No new construc-
tion is required for the institution of
this service. There has been some
limited exchanges Of signals across
Behring Sea, but owing to the opera
tors limitations in the way of Ian
guage they have been unable to COM
municate intelligently, a difference
which, of course, can easily be over
come by the employment OF operators
who can speak both Russian and Eng
lish.-Maritime Register.
Locating the Gulf Stream.
How close the Gulf Stream comes
to the coast of Florida is shown in
the following information from the
office: The average po-
sition of the axis Of this stream is
46 (sea) miles from Key West 16
miles from Alligator Reef. 10 miles
from F'owey Rocks, % miles from
Jupiter Inlet, So miles from Cape
Canaveral, and "a miles from the
mouth of the st. Johns river. The
nearer border of the stream lies l.
miles southwark of Key West and
thence gradually approaches the coast
Of Florida until ii touches it at Ali
gator EkeeI ana remains very close III
as far north as the vicinity Of Jupiter
Inlet South of the mouth Of the st.
Johns river the currents close along
the coast are greatly Influenced by
the wind and sometimes there is
current counter to that of the stream,
setting close to the Florida reefs. OBJ
has indicated that there is
an alternate expansion and contrac-
ton in the width of the Gulf Stream
to the changes in the
declination OF the moon.
