DEEP SEAl CURRENTS. MYSTERIES O7 THE OCEAN THAT HAVE PUZZLED THE SCIENTISTS. A Theary nn le the Origin and Cause of the Gulil ud Other Strea;ns-Arc They the, Product of I .zen:<e Sub marine Geysers i For more than a century scientists and philosophers have been vainly try Ing to discover the origin and cause of the mysterious current in the Atlantic ocean called the gulf stream. Why so called is not apparent, as nothing in the gulf of Mexico is in its composition. There have been many theories. which have been abaoned, somuie lp.lefectly absurd, such as its belug caused by the earth in its revolutica: on its axis, for if it had the powcr to draw this stream at the rate of live miles au Iaour from the coast of Florida it would draw all the water from the (ast coasts of North and South Amaerica at the same velocity. The prevailing theory is that the northeast trade winds drive a cur rent into the Caribbeau sea and. aided by the feeble equatorial stream. heap up the water in the gulf of 'Mexico. thence rushing around the south of Florida from the souree of the gulf stream. But there is no such a heap ing of the waters in that gulf. The waters there are sluggish, and there is no perceptible current leading toward the gulf stream or anywhere else. This theory has been accepted for want of a better, but those who favor It are not entirely satiited with it. The gulf stream is an independent body of water, haviag no connection with the water around or behind the point where it emerges. It is warmer and of a deeper blue than the surrounding seas and gushes forth from the start ing point off Cape Sable at the rate of from five to six knots an hour, with a temperature of about 00 degrees, lessening gradually as It proceeds on its journey of thousands of miles across the Atlantic ocean, warming the west ern shores of Europe. Having seen the fallacy ef the the ories concerning the gulf stream, we will turn our attention to the great Pa cific current. identical in all respects with itssister current of the Atlantic and concerning which there are no the ories to contend with. It starts spontaneously from a spot a few miles from the south end of the island of Formosa. in the Banshee channel, following the coast of For mosa northeasterly, past and through the Loochoo islands, skirting the coast of Japan: thence turns eastward on its long journey across the wide Pacific, warming the coast of America from Puget sound to Mexico. Its dark blue waters are in striking contrast to the surrounding seas, giving it the name of Murra Suar, or black water. It is an independent stream where no combina tion of winds or currents can possibly cause the mighty rush of warm blue water with a velocity of from five to six knots an hour froui the start. In its characteristics of heat, color and direction it' resembles the gulf stream in every particular, and the origin of the two streams must be the same, whatever they may be, which I shall endeavor to show later on. There is another ocean current similar in all respects to the ether two, with the ex eption that it runs in an exactly op-. posite direction. Starting from the vi cinity of the south end of the island of adagascar, it runs southwesterly around the Cape of Good H ope, where it disappears off Cape Lagullas. As a current, probably part of it is diverted into a steady set of the eastern current, caused by the prevailing westerly winds in that region. No scientists, so far as I am aware, have attempted to count for this current. Having now proved beyond refutation that all the ories advanced as to the cause of ocean currents are groundless. It remains to be proved what the true cause ic-. It must be admitted that the currents have a similar origin, as they are Iden tical in every respect as regards coler, heat and velocity, springing forth r the same manner spontaneously fr the earth In some mysterious we . There is no place on the surface of the earth where the water can be hented to furnish the heat contained In these streams that gush forth from the depths of the sea; consequently the forces ust be subterranean and can only be acemuntcd for by large bodies of elear. bine' water from the ocean forig 1:- ::y itnto the depths of the earth : ": its; ernst, where it burrows a chan :wi its own to the surface again, hlv'~ received its warmth on the way by contact with the Internal heat of the low-er regions of the earth, forced on by continual pressure from behind. That there are oritices in the earth's crust cannot be denied, also what be comes of the vast volume of water that cannot be computed which is constant ly running at the rate of from four to six knots an hour from the Atlantic ocean, through the strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean sea. The nu merous rivers, too, are continually lowing In. and yet the sea remains at the same level. Evaporation efinnot account for it, for what Is evaporated is formed Into clouds and is precipitat ed again into the sea by the medium of storms and frequent rains. The water must enter the earth from the ocean through these apertures on an incline as it gushes forth in these three mighty currents and cannot be discovered by soundings; consequently these three mighty currents are noth .ng more or less than immense geysers. -Captain B.

"Uncle Ton'sn Camin" nind tine South Possibly the 1o:st geiieral conception of the old life .t the south held by the rest of the country is that drawn from "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a work which, whatever its truth in dectail- and there was doubtless much truth-yet by rea son of its omissions and its grotping contained even more untruth as a cor rect picture of a civilization, says Thomas Nelson Page in The Aflautic. As an argument against the evils in herent in slavery it was unanswerable' as a presentation of the life it under took to mirror it was rather a piece emotional fiction. infused with the sp It of an able and sincere but only is tially informed partisan. than a corrt reflection. It served a purpose far 1 yoDd the dream and possiboly even the intention of its author. It did ninch to hasten the overthrow of siazvry. it did no less to stain the reputation of the south and obscure what was worthy and tine in its life. From that time the people of the south were re. garded, outside its own border, much as, shall we say, China is regarded to day-as one of the effete peoples, as an obstacle in the path of advance and possibly among many as an object of righteous spoil. A Formidable Meal. Sometimes the names given to dif ferent varieties of plants and vegeta bles are confusing, not to say startling. It sounds as if one had indulged in a most esthetic meal to say, "I have just eaten an ear*ly rose." Put when one remembers that Early Rlo:.se is the name of a popular variety of potato the xs theticism vanishes. Potatoes seem to be especially liable to have names be stowed on them which have a most "unedible" sound. Two women out on a bicycle tour be came hungry, and there was no inn in sight, but there was a farmhouse near by, and an old man was pottering about In the adjacent potato patch. To him they appealed for food. He promised to do what he could, saying that, at any rate, he could assure them of good potatoes. as he bad every variety in his garden. The women enjoyed the meal and especially commended the pota toes. "Yes." said the farmer, "you have not done so badly. You have eaten two Schoolmasters, two Blacksmiths, four Kidneys and a couple of White Ele phants." Three Ways. An Englishman. an Irishman and a Scotchman. making a tour aroand the city a short time since, were observed looking through a confectioner's win dow at a beautiful.young woman serv ing in the shop. "Oh," exclaimed Mr. Patrick, "do let us be after spending half a crown with the dear craytur, that we may look, at her convaniently and have a bit of chat wid her." "You extravagant dog," said Mr. Bull. "I'm sure one-half of tVge money will be suficient. But let us go in, by all means. She's a charming girl." "Ab, wait a wee," interposed Mr. McAndrew. "Dinna ye ken At'll serve our purpose equally weel just to ask the bonnie lassIe to gie us twa six pences for a shilling and inquire where's Mr. Toompson's house and sic like. We're no hungry and may as weel save the siller." - Birmingham Mercury. A Lake's Jawbreaking TNme. The town of Webster. Mass., has al ways been proud of the beautiful little lake within Its limits, but never boast ed of the jawbreaking name by which it is known. The lake has the longest and most unpronounceable name of any in the world, and residents and visitors who pass the summer on its shores and islands are quietly suggest Ing a substitute for the unwieldy In dian term~ which for many years has been -applie'd to this body of water. The full name of the lake is Chargog gagoggmachogagoggagungamaug, but the residents have contracted it to Chubunaagungamaug.-Engineer. irIgin of Ice Cream Soda. ording to a Wisconsin legend, ice c.,AL soda had its origin in Milwau kee, the town that made lager beer fa mous.

He was a typical York shirean, and he dearly loved a joke. But jokes seemed a long way off just then, and the old man was thinking deeply when he was accosted by a tramp, who made the usual request for a night's lodigings and something to eat, as he explained he had had noth ing for two whole days. The effect upon the farmer when he said this was magical. "Why, man," he said, "I've been look ing for you all day." And then without more ado he knocketd himt down and walked on him from ene end to the other. The tramp got up. looking very staggered, and asked him why he had done that. "Well," said he.

Italians From Tuscany Icel the World In Their Production-The Demand For These Casts That Cowes From Our Schools. While it is not difficult to secure good American workmen for carrying out schemes of interior decorations, it is impossible yet to get native born men capable of modeling statuettes and busts such as are sold on the street corners and in many of the art shops. All the workmen employed in factories that produce these are Italians, chiefly from Tuscany. This Is equally true of those who follow this trade in Ger many and France. The Tuscans ap pear to have a natural ability for that sort of work that has given them the monopoly of it. The great majority of these busts and statuettes are copied directly from the originals wherever they happen to be, and then the molds are made from that copy and sent to all parts of the world, the statues being cast in the place where they are to be sold. In the lar ger shops in New York city, however, a certain amount of original work is done in order to keep. pace with the popular demand for representations of the hero of the hour. A great many of our most distinguished poets, authors and statesmen whose busts are exposed for sale on the street corners never sat for these portraits. Some workman modeled the head after a photograph and occasionally has produced such good work that it is almost a pity the sculptor's name should remain un known. The chief purchasers of these casts from the larger makers are the high schools all over the country. Tfiey de mand, of course, not only classical sub jects and copies of ancient bas-reliefs and architectural details, but also busts of famous men and women from every period of the world's history. Such a wide range of subjects Is covered by this demand that seven and eight thou sand titles are included in some of the catalogues Issued. The factories where these figures are turned out exhibit in their showrooms an assortment and confusion of time, place and nature be wildering to look at. The process of casting these statu ettes is a comparatively simple one when the mold is once completed. The material used, plaster of paris, is cheap, and a very excellent quality is produced in this country. When the statuette comes out, it is pure white and covergd with ridges made by the different sections of the mold. These ridges are carefully removed, and then the cast is placed in an oven heated at about 180 degrees. After it has been baked for a certin length of time it Is plunged Into a solution o!' stearic acid and kept there until thor:oughly satu rated. Then, when it has dried, the yellow color is gained by applying to the surface a solution of beeswax, tur pentine and coloring matter.. This color will not wash off, and, of course, any shade can be produced at will. "The demand for nude statues in the art schools is growing less every year," said one of the largest makers of these asts. "That Is because people are realizing more and more that artists must draw from the human figure it self If they wish to understand the human form. We get more orders now for draped figures in the art schools and for busts in the high schools. Un til very recently the busts of most of the eel ebrated Americans which t'e sel had been made in Italy from pho tographs sent over from this copntry, and many mistakes occurred In mat ters of detail, like the cut of the coats and collars. We are trying to do these now in a more modern and characteris tic way and occasionally have been furnishaed with photographs by their familes." The statuettes which are carried about the streets wrapped in harmoni ous yellow tissue paper or are display ed on the sidewalks or on the steps of unoccupied houses are made by quite a different set of manufacturers. The larger dealers do not sell to these street peddlers at all. The peddlers have their wn little workrooms, which furnish them with their stock at a much lower rate than the regular dealers charge. No originals are made In thdse ateliers, anl most of the molds are gained by taiag~ them from a cast bought from some other firm. The. stearic acid bath is left out of the process, and conse uently the color of these cheaper works washes off. The peddlers of these statuettes stand in about the same relation to sculptors and sculpture that the hand organ play ers do to music and musicians. They reflect fairly accur'ately the popular taste, and, according to their testi mony, it is the Tanagra figurines that in the long run sell the best of all their stock. From time to time there is a market for the bust of some particular man, and those sales are always tem porary. Grotesque figures are always in demand and copies of the various models of Venus with which the public are familiar. Rows of Cupids and of monks' heads, winged Victories and busts of Wagner come and go as pop ular favorites, but the Tanagra figur ines have a steady sale that insures their presence in the stock of nearly every street peddler.-New York Post. A Tarantula's Jump. "There are strange sights in Porto Rico," said a returned traveler. "Ta rantulas are one of them," he contin ued, "and you should see a tarantula jmp! One of themi went through a marvelous performance, with myself and a dog for spectators. The dog's barking awolle me early one morning, and I slipped into my shoes and ran out. Spot-that's the dog's name-was making frantic plunges at an enormous tarantula, as big as my palm and its legs covering as much ground as a soup plate. Its wicked black eyes made me creep. "All of a sudden the thing shrank up like a sponge and jumped for the dog. I give you my word, it jumped fifteen feet if it was an fuch. Twice the dog ran under the spider's jump-fact. Oth ers were watching by this time, and they all saw it. Usually, though, he just side stepped a bit. ' "I broke up little pieces of a branch of a tree and hurled them at the taran tula. My aim was just good enough to stir him up. At first he kept jumping away from us, but Spot always herded him back again. Then he jumped straight for us. At last a lucky shot keeled him over, and a few strokes with a convenient club finished him." New York Times.. Sin Promoters.

A COLUMBUS STATUE. The story of a Brass Founder's Transformation of Gambrinus. A story is tcid of a brass founder who was one day visited by a friend aeting as agent for one of the cities of Central America. The a:gent sked what it would cost to east a statue of Christopher Columbus for the public square of the city. The amount was far in excess of the sum which the man had at his disposal. Ie was about leaving in despair of being able to se cure the statue when the brass founder said: "Come back in the junk yard and let us see what can be found there." Ile went back, and the brass founder showed him a colossal statue of Cam brinus. recently removed from the front of a large brewing establishment. Under his feet rested a beer keg, in his hand was a !arge and overtlowing schooner, his beard was long and shag gy, and about-his brows was wreathed a garland of barley and hops. "Why, this will never do," said the commission merchant. "I want a stat ue of Columbus." "Wait until I have touched this one up. Come back in about a week and see what you think of It. If it suits you, you can have It for the amount you have at your disposal." As soon as the visitor had gone the brass founder set two men at work on the figure of Gambrinus. They re moved the beer keg from under his right foot and placed there an anchor and a coil of rope, from his hand they removed the goblet and substituted a globe, with the continents traced on it; from his brow they took the wreath of barley and hops and substituted a wreath of laurel and then proceeded to trim up his whiskers. The finishing touch consisted In putting at the base of the statue "Cristoforo Colombo." When the commission merchant came, he was delighted with the figure and, purchasing it, shipped It to the Central American city, where it adorns the public square and is looked upon with veneration by the citizens of that town. -New York Times. FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS. Particularly Guarded Against by Firms That Handle Cotton. "Speaking of insurance matters," said a listener, "I suppose the plain, old fashioned nail has caused more fires In the, big establishments where machinery is used In many and com plicated ways than any other little thing In existence. The only thing needed is for it to come in contact with some other hard material with suffi cient force to cause a spark and heat generation. Nails have really produced a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of the country. During recent years, on account of steps taken by the owners and conductors of the larger cotton and byproduct plants at the instance of in surance men, the nail has not been such a prolific producer of fires. "A way has been found, for instance, in cotton gins, cotton mills and In plants where cottopseed are put through manufacturiig processes, of extracting nails and other weighty and flinty substances that may find lodg ment in these inflammable products. Gravity is the natural force used. Nails and rocks and materials of this kind are heavier than cotton and Its by products, and they have a tendency to orce their way to the bottom of the heap. By allowing these products to pass over a 'rolling belt arrangement these heavier materials filter toward the bottom and are finally extracted, so that when the cotton or the cotton seed passes through the grind in the various manufacturing processes there Is but little danger from fire so far as these things are concerned."-New Or leans Times-Democrat.

The earliest known lens is one maade of rock crystal unearthed by Layard at Nineveh. This lens, the age of which is to be measured by thousands of years, now lies in the British museum with its surface as bright as when it left the maker's hands. By the side of it are very recent specimens of lens which have been ruined by exposure to London's fogs and smoke. His Preference. "Would you rather have something else than a piece of pie?" asked the kind neighbor of little Freddie, who had run an errand for her. "Yes, ma'am," said Freddie prompt ly. "I wu'd ruther have two pieces." Ohio State Journal. His Prize. An amusing story, which may per haps he entirely true, is told of a short sighted but energetic member of the Russian secret police. He was walking through a little fre quented street of St. Petersburg one night when he spied high up on a lamp post a placard. "Aha!" he said to himself, scenting mischief on the instant and alert for action. "That's one of those Incendiary notices about his majesty the czar! It must come down at once!" With some difficulty, being of a stout build, he succeeded In climbing the post and dislodging the placard. He bore it to the ground, and there, peering at It by the light of the lamp, he read two Russian words, the English equivalent for which is the well known legend "Wet Paint."-Youth's Companion.
