NO CHANGE IN GULF STREAM
Government Experts Correct an I'M
preston Which Has Become More
or Less General.

1t is hard to be steady, consistent
and answering In spite OF contrary
forces, and still to gain the reputation
Of an giraffe Wanderer. Yet this Is
lust what has happened to the gulf
stream. Indeed, its character was
getting so maligned that the United
States government itself found it nee
essary to yindicate this current OF
the ocean Much has been said OF
late years In regard to the changing
route u the stream. The government
experts declare there is no change III
the course. nor has there been for
n1any years No other physical feature
Of the ocean is subject to more per-
sistent misIntorpretation than IS the
Gulf stream. 1t is 4 pet theory Of
many that the temperature of Europe
is greatly affected by il, but this effect
is hot as extensive as Is commonly
thought. Practically starting at the
Florida straits, where its volume is
made up by the union of currents, 1t
ceases to be true current by the
time not long after it reaches the
Grand banks, where it becomes sur

WYct;FFE'S WORK ON BIBLE
Historians Uncertain as to What
Part He Actually Took in Trans
lation into English.

John Wyeliffe t1335-1384), who has
been called the Morning Star Of the
Reformation, translated-or caused
to be translated-the Bible from the
Vulgate est. Jerome's Latin version)
INFO English, with the assistance OF
Nicholas Of Hereford and John Pur-
Yey. Wycliffe and his disciples la
bored at the translation for some ten
or fifteen years. Scholars are not
agreed as to exactly what part Wy
cliffe himself took in the literary
work
ut is a known fact" says the En-
cyclopaedia Britannica, that Wycliffe
proclaimed the Bible as mans su
preme spiritual authority, and that he
sought in consequence by every means
in his power to spread the knowledge
of it among the people. It is, there
FORE in all likelihood due 10 the zeal OF
Wycliffe and his followers that we
owe the two noble Fourteenth century
TRANSACTIONS OF the Bible which tradi-
ton has always associated with his
name, and which are the earliest COM
piete renderings that we possess of
the Holy Scriptures into English. The
first of these, the so-called early YER
sion, was probably completed about
1882, at all events before 1884 the
year of Wycliffe's death. The second,
or later version, being a thorough re-
vision of the first, is ascribed to the
year 1883 by Sir Frederic Madden
and Rev. Joshua Forshall in their
edition of these two versions.-Detroit

Elephants Raid Railway Station,

We are used to stories of how an
elephant occasionally upsets a circus
but it is rare we hear of an orgy of
destruction like that which occurred
in the Malay peninsula. A herd of
wild elephants attacked a railway
station, pulling down the station
masters kitchen and bathroom. They
did the same to the clerks quarters
and then tackled the station while the
office force looked on from trees One
elephant took off an automatic weigh
ing machine as a souvenir of the raid.

NOTHING LOST BIZ COURTESY

Whether in a letter or face to face
there is nothing in the whole big wide

Experience, the Great Teacher.

Observation more than books, ex-
perience rather than persons, are the
prime educators. Books aid as one
has wit to use them to advantage,
persons most when seeming not to
serve US. Experience converts US to
ourselves when books fail US, and this
oftenest against our knowledge and
consent And it remains question
able how far our attachments further
or hinder natures intentions, the art
of education being still SO COM
plicated and incalculable matter

meled by our schools, under the more

series of tests made by the United

bow tree, because they used it for
making their finest bows. Some idea

Ant Families.

One Of the most peculiar examples
of nature protection found in the
world is that afforded by the sugar
ant of Australia The sugar ant is
one of the smaller OF the field ants OF
that country. The meat ant, on the
other hand, is very pugnaclous crea-
ture, so that there are few enemies
of its size which dare approach its
nest. The sugar ant realizes this, so
it seeks protection for its own home
bv building it at the base of the mound
of the meat ant. Then it covers the
nest entrance with leaves, so that they
are hidden from sight. The meat ant
works only during the day; as soon as
the sun sets, it goes into its nest and
is not easily disturbed, while darkness
prevails. On the other hand, the sugar
ant comes out at night and feeds upon
the honey of flowers or the sap OF
small plants In this way the two
species of ant do not come in contact
with each other and the meat ant pro
vides plenty Of protection for the sugar
ant, while the latter is having its day
time sleep AL of which reminds one
of the popular old farce Of "Box and
Cox."-Christian Science Monitor.

MAY ALLISON REPEATS THE CHEAPER TONIGHT
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

The Cheater," repeated for the last time at the Empress tonight, is a powerful play in plot and execution, a compelling drama of vivid high lights and mysterious shadows In It Miss Allison has the strongest emo- tional role of her career, adding flcsh laurels to the fame she has already gained.
 Does it pay to cheat-or does the cheater pay, in the end? Ask "The Cheater," for she played the game with a marked deck, and paid the penalty in tears. And others paid as well. And the tale of the final reck- oning forms a climax fascinating, thrilling and unexpected.
 Louis Bennison has established a reputation for western cowboy com edy, rough riding, hard fighting and sharp shooting. In his latest picture, "A Misfit EarI' he carries the atmos- phere of the west into the very stronghold of English aristocracy, and the result is broad farce comedy that will delight both young and old.
