For forty days it will remain;

The myth has been traced to the
twelfth century but it may be even
older. Such notions have an smazing
antiquity, marvellous capacity Tor
survival. Common sense contradicts
them. logic laughs at them, but they
persist. What can be the explanation
of vitality so impressive?
Ethnographists and folk lorists say
that primitive man was guided by the
conviction that inanimate objects actu-
ally were alive and that phenomena OF
nature had a causative explanation in
nate in themselves. They refer to these
doctrines under the collective term
"animism, and the worship or ador-
alton of sticks and stones to which they
gave rise as "fetichism." For the res
ervation of things from ordinary use
they employ the South Seas word
taboo" All weather myths are sub
ject to analysis from these different
angles. Some are animistic in cfarac-
ter, some have significance as fetiches,
and some represent prohibitive taboos.
But all are fruits of ignorance and
superstition; none can stand the test
of applied common sense.
Nevertheless, they retain their hold
upon the popular imagination. Thou
sands of people accept them, treasure
them. st. Svithun has been dead al

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Walking down q suburban street.
lined with majestic oaks, In which
thrushes sang, one suddenly had the
feeling that these birds belonged to
one, were singing for ones sole benefit.
1t was curious impression to re-
ceive. and lasted only few steps, until
the mind could repudiate such owner
ship, and carefully point out that the
birds sang principally for themselves
and afterwards for all who would
listen.
Yet the feeling Of personal owner
ship persisted, in some measure: per-

but at times had been shared by all
persons interested in such things.
Every bird that sang from bough-
he felt that it sang for him. and for
him alone, such was his impression.

Is not art for those who receive 1t?
The bird song-who owns 1t except
the appreciative listener?
Good writing-for whom is It, except
for those who appreciate good writing?
In very definite sense, therefore,
he who loves the songs of the birds
may say to himself that they sing
for him.
If at times he has an inner feeling
that they sing to him alone, and that
in some mysterious manner he owns
them, he may be forgiven his temerity.

This ownership, brought about by
appreciation of the beautiful. the in

Gulf Stream Coming Closer

From the St. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat
If the skipper Of the steamship San
Bias is right in his report that the Gulf
Stream has moved 100 or so miles
nearer the New England Coast and the
school of thought that accredits sharp
climatic changes to this ribbon Of
warm water is not wrong the north
eastern part of the United States and
even the maritime provinces of Canada
are in for an unusually warm Summer
this year.
The San Bias commander. Capt.
George H. Grant. made his report when
his ship arrived at Boston from Puerto
Barrios. Guatemala And he said that
the stream that comes up the Atlantic
Coast from the Gulf and the Caribbean
has not only abandoned its seward
trend north Of Cape Hatteras, NJ c..
bat that it is speeding up its delivery
of the sulntouched waters from three to
five knots an hour, bring the San Bias
and its cargo OF bananas to its home
port many hours ahead of its schedule.
He found the stream running about 80
miles OFF Nantucket Lighcship, guarding
the coast of Massa chusetts, whereas the
normal course of the stream carried it
past that part of the coast nearly 200
miles east of the liglltship.
1t is interesting to speculate on what
this hugging of the coast north of Cape
Hatteras might mean if the great
stream should find a new path and dis
sipate its congenial breath of southern
climes before it reached Northeastern
Europe to warm and to cheer our cross
seas neighbors. Such a stoppage would
prove beyond controversy whether the
winds or the ocean currents are respon-
sible for climatic favors bestowed upon
countries not especially favored by rela-
tive latitudinal placement. For many
scientists Of France and England con-
tend that they owe nothing to the Gulf
Stream for the temperate climate that
touches their shores. And the intricate
relationship of winds to ocean cur
rents makes it hard for one school to
prove that the other is wrong. There
can be no doubt that currents are
driven by winds and that winds are
strongly Influenced by currents and
that hot or cold water are effective In
helping to build up low-pressure and
high-pressure conditions of the atmos-
phere and the equalizing winds that
