England always prided herself upon
her intimate relations with the Gulf
stream. 1t was thought that the cur
rent left the sunny shores of distant
lands to wrap the British Isles In
warm embrace, bringing with it not
only a warmer atmosphere, but tro-
phies in the form of shells from the
tropics to ornament the beaches of
Britain. The faith of the British in
this direction is being shaken. Wealth
er prophets who have been unable to
account for the uncertain atmospheric
conditions have been looking for a
scapegoat for some months, and at
last have pitched upon the Gulf stream
as the delinquent. 1t is reported that
ships have failed to find it in the
ocean, and the west wind is no longer
influenced by it. If the old and
trusty friend, the Gulf stream, is going
to join the strikers, then England in
deed will feel this the unkindest cut
of all.
