HOME BANK OF BARNWELL Harry D. Calhoun, Pres. Norman B. Gamble, Active Vice-Pres. William McNab, Cashier. John B. McNab, Asst. Cashier £ Warm Current Exists, • No Matter How Called It was with soiiip consternation that me read In the newspapers tha*, the fculf stream had been proved a myth. If one of the sacred scientific trinity had died, what was to become of the others-—the nebular hypothesis and the law of gravitation? A closer reading, however, was reas suring. remarks the New York Evening Mail. It appears that M. I.e Panola, a French savant, asserts that there la no such thing as a gulf stream. What Is called by that name Is a combina tion of ocean tides. There are, he says, two kinds of water lii the North Atlantic,.warm and cold. The warm moves In a north ward current to some undetermined point and turns backward again. The fluctuations, however, are tidal. One' has a vague memory of reading something very like that In the physi cal geography hook'ahout twenty years ago. Apparently the phenomena exist, whether one explains them by the term gulf stream or as ocean tides. That which we call a gulf stream by another name will smell as sweet to migratory herring and sardine and, happily, one can still paraphrase “Romeo and ‘ .Tullet*’ regardless of * whether Raton or Shakespeare wrote R. And the warm Atlantic current still saves Europe from a return to the glacial period regardless of whether one accept the nomenclature of Franklin or that of M. Le DaUois. f Early United States Official Given Honor The senjes of $10 gold certifi cates hears the Ifljeuess of Michael Hll- legas. the first treasurer of the t inted Stall's.
