Gulf Stream a Mighty Phenomenon

Ninety billion tons OF water are car.
ried hourly through the Straits of Flor
ida by the gulf stream. according to
Admiral John L. Pillsbury. U. S. N. in
a communication to the National Geo
graphic society at Washington, d. c.
This stream. he says. is probably the
grandest and most mighty of any ter
restrial phenomenon.
IF this one single hours flow of
water could be evaporated, the remain
ing salts would require many times
more than all the ships in the world
to carry it." says Admiral Pillsbury.
1T is difficult for the mind TO grasp
the immensely OF the great ocean
river. When one is on board a vessel,
floating upon its waters, one is not as
much impressed at the power and
grandeur of this wonder of nature as
he is when he stands before a tower
ing mountain, an immense iceberg, or
fall of water such as Niagara, but
when one remembers that the mighty
torrent, speeding on hour by hour and
day by day in a volume equal to all
the largest rivers of the world com
bined, carrying its beneficent heat to
temper the climate of continents, one
begins to realize that of all the forces
OF the physical world none can equal
this one river OF the ocean.
1T is interesting TO note in the his
tory of the gulf stream how great its
influence has been on the fortunes of
the new world. Before the discovery
Of America, strange woods and fruits
were frequently found on the shores |
Of Europe. Some of these were seen |
by Columbus and to him were con- |
yincing evidence that strange lands |
we're TO the westward. These woods |
we're carried by the gulf stream and |
~ the prevailing winds from America,

de for the discovery of the new world.
Ponce de Leon, while searching for
he fountain Of youth, discovered this
stream. He sailed southwark along
he coast of Florida, thus stemming
he current. He says they found a
urrent that, though the wind was
God. they could not stem. 1t seemed
hat their vessels were going fast

THE theories as to the cause OF
ocean currents have been many. In
recent times the course OF currents
| has been laid to rivers and the gulf
stream chiefly to the Mississippi. In
actual fact about 1000 such rivers
would be required. In tropical regions
there is a steady movement of the air
from east to west known as the trade
winds. Winds blowing over the sur
face OF the water induce a current in
the latter due to friction. At first it
is only the merest skim that moves,
but gradually the motion is communi-
Gated from layer to layer until at last,
il the wind is long continued as in the
trade wind region, the movement ex-
tends to lower depths, 300 or 400 feet,
or perhaps more. These trade wind
currents continue across the Carib-
bean sea until they reach the obstruc-
ton of the Honduras and Yucatan
coasts, from which they escape into
the Gulf of Mexico.
Another source of the gulf stream
is the wave caused by the wind. Ev
cry ripple carries a certain amount of
water in the direction toward which
it is flowing, irrespective of the cur
rent caused by it's friction, and when
the waves become large. tons of water
are hurled from the crest into the
trough every time the wave breaks.
In large area like the Caribbean,
having a comparatively constant wind
blowing over it's whole surface, this |
action is practically a simultaneous |
of the surface waters to |
the westward.
There is every evidence that the |
gulf stream is governed absolutely by |
law in all its variations: its course
through the ocean is without doubt
fixed, its fluctuations are by days,
seasons, or by years, but theyI
10 not vary materially one year from
he other. So We may conclude that

The UnWieIdIy Board of Health

operation, or a visit to some health re.

law; his decision is final IN the mat

Not so when the health of a COM
munity is at stake. In that case the
doctor is not quite competent to
decide what is good and what is bad
