GULF STREAM AND THE MOON.
Experts Explain Variations in Speed
which Occur Daily and Monthly.

Experts Explain Variations in Speed
Which Occur Daily and Monthly.
Experts on the Gulf Stream know of
no cauSes-such as filling in shallow
places along the Florida East Coast rail-
way, as is now being done and has been
done since the beginning Of construction
Whereby the Cult Stream could in any
way be affected. But they do give from
acsual observations reports of changes
due 10 the effect of the moan.
DeicctionS of the Gulf Stream are
caused, according to these authorities,
BY the nearnesS of the MOON, which when
close to the equator increases the speed
Of the current. Changes II the velocity
of the stream following the declinatlon
of the moon nave been proved by experts
between the coast of 1ucatan and points
along the straits Of Florida and ohserva-
lions have been made 10 this effect.
Monthly changes are said 10 take
place i'm the Gulf Stream due entirely to
the moon and i'll addition thereto an
oscillation which is also governed by the
moon. This is Il regular daily variation
in velocity which amounts in some IN
stances to nearly two and one-half knots,
There are numerous openings along
the line Of the Florida East Coast rail-
way from Key West to the mainland OF
Florida. The greater portion Is buiit
over solid land or islands. Most OF the
rest. with the exception I'll StNtidi mtitS,
is constructed over shallow banks full OF
mud. and il is not probable that such
limited construction could in my way AT
all affect such a volume of water, which
| experts say amOunt TO 90,0eO.OOO tons
an hOur.
When heavy winds or gales have oc-
Cured the water sometimes has riser
| and carried away these low fills. To
avoid this piers have been erected to re
place the mud banks. There are nu'
| merous places along the line of the rail
road where the water flows through an'
returns daily.
Experts who have devoted much tins

action of the moon the changes which
have been noted as far back as 1856 II
