By GARRKTT I SFRVISR.
A year or so ago a proposal was seri
ously urged upon the attention of con
gress and of the American people to
change the course of the Oulf stream
by means of gi
gantic harriers to
be erected on the
banks near X,w .
fnundland.
The avowed put -pose
of this great'
engineering enter-prli-e.
conceived on
a truly Martian
s. ale of magnifi
cent defiance to
natuie. was to im
prove the climatic
conditions along
the Atlantic sea
hoard of the fnlted
States by bring
ing the wsrm waters of the (Julf stream
close inshore. The fact was not blinked
hut openly avowed that such change in
the course of the vsst "oceanic river"
would have a disastrous effect upon the
climate of the Hrltish Isles, which is
now one of the most genial and salu
brious in tl.e world, and this in spite of
the fact that those isles lie in so high a
latitude that ir they were transported
stralcl.t across the Atlantic they would
drop down In northern Labrador and
Hudson's Hhv. Hut the Inventor of the
s. heme did not trouble himself about
other people's climates he was only In
terested in Lettering our own.
Whether or no this hold Yankee pro
position was taken seriously In Kngland.
at least It seems to have been the signal
for a manifestation there of renewed In
terest In the (lulf Htreim as one of the
grandest and most mysterious of all ter
restrial phenomena, and a recent lec
tin on the subject by Commander ramp
bell llepwoith. delivered before the Koyal
Geographical society, has Just found Its
way Into Hrltish scientific Journals.
Commander Hepworth unhesitatingly
places himself In opposition to those who
hold that the supposed Influence of the
Gulf stream on the Hrltish c'lmate is a
myth. He brings a great amount of sta
tistical Information Into play to prove
that "the warm, relatively hlgh-aallnlty
water which undoubtedly exercises an
ameliorating effect upon the climate of
our islands and upon that of northwestern
Kuropn generally, Is mainly of equatorial
origin and is directly attributable to the
influence of the Gulf Stream."
But if the Gulf Stream benefits the cli
mate of Kngland, It Is eipially ministerial
In damaging ours. It In an American In
stitution, for It takes its rise in the Gulf
of Mexico; yet it appears to reserve its
beneficence lor the old country. It per
forms Its functions In somewhat the sum
pplrit in which some persona would like
to see the Panama canal perform Its
functions.
A glance at a "physi al geography''
will fhow how the t'.Ut stream, after
starting northward close along the south
ern part of the Atlantic coast, begins at
first gradually, and thun rapidly, to turn
away toward the center of the Atlantic,
while the cold labtador current, sweep
ing down from Pavls's strait, with its
burden of Icebergs, encounters the warm
stream off the Newfoundland banks, and,
by virtue of the eastward trend of the
stream at that point, is tnrown in toward
Nova Scotia and tha shores of New Kng
lnnd. It is to this that we owe our cold, late
sprlngi, while the varying stages of the
perpetual struggle between the gulf
rtream and the Labrador current are
reflected In the changeable and Insalubri
ous haracter of our weather during
many months.
There is a good deal of popular mis
apprehension concerning the flow of the
:ulf stream. It Is often spoken of as a.
river In the ocean, and to a certain extent
it d s resemble a stupendous river.
V, here is issuea from the stiait of Florida
It Is fifty miles wide, and sweeps the
rocky bottom at a depth of about ii.nou
feet. Its color is blue. In contrast with
the greenish water through which It
passes, with quite sharply defined bor
ders. The surface speed Is five miles an
hour, but diminishes rapidly to about
sixty miles a day off the Carolina coast,
forty miles off Nantucket, and less than
thirty near the Grand banks.
As it passe out Into the deep sea, after
sheering off from the American coast, It
no longer touches the bottom or comes
anywhere near It- Its depth diminishes
ss its breadth increases, until It Is prob
ably not more than 20 to 3"0 foet 6p,
flowing over a cushion of cold water be
neath. Its temperature also rapidly di
minishes with depth, most of its heat
being confined to Its surface layers.
What makes this river in the sea'.'
What keeps it flowing? Ths answer is.
"the wind." The ultimate source of the
gulf stream is the great equatorial cur
rent, which is kept In continual motion
westward by the trade winds (and the
trade winds srise from tha rotation of the
earth). F.ncounterlng tha projecting and
southward sloping shoulder of rtouth
America, the equatorial current Is turned
northwestward into the Caribbean sea
and the Gulf of Mexico. Tha latter Is a
round trap for the water driven Into it.
The water is "heaped up" in the gulf
until It attains a general level at least
three feet higher thsn that of tha Atlantic
off New York. It escapes as alresdy de
scribed, through t'ne Florida strait, and
here the true gulf stream takes Its origin.
Umg before It reaches the British Isles
It has spread out like a fan, and ceased
to resemble a river, but It still earrles a
eonslderabla quantity of tha heat de
rhd from tho equatorial son.
Oiesn currents hsve sn enormous ef
fect in governing t ie climate of manv
parts of the esrth, and who knows but
that the t;mi will come when we alisll
leally be uhh- to hai.ge their direction
i" ffi-.etitly to In.gely lunifonn tne face
of the globe'.'
