Borne ' have thought that the Ti tanic dlaaater waa th result of a tem porary chant In th Gun ttream. Th captain of an Italian ateamahlp aaw a berg three hundred feet lone and rlalnf fifty .feet above the above the sea, la latitude S decree, 31 nilntea; longi tude o) degree. minute. That point la In th middle of the north Atlantic, aa far aouth aa Baltimore. A few hundred mile farther north th berg field of tee have recently covered hundred! of squar mile of the ocean' surface. Some report! Indicate that the Titanic ran at a apeed of twenty-flv miles an hour, be tween two apraadlng wing of an Im menee fleet of Iceberg, which wer ar rayed In th form b great V. with fh opening toward th eaat and that th fatal encounter occurtd when tho chip had reached th Inner nd of the V. where only the mot careful navigation could have fund af passage. If that I true, th hug ship with It cargo of more than t,0u0 Uvea, dti regarding all the warning received from other vie sets, waa almply ruahlng upon almost certain destruction, like a crulaar apeed Ing recklessly into a sunning trap laid for It by a aquaIron of battleships. Th suggestion that there may have been a temporary change In th direc tion of th ocean currents la not. In It elt altogether Improbable. Then are two great current which are primarily concerned with the circulation of the North Atlantic ocean. Thee are the Gulf stream and th Labrador current, th first composed of warm, th second of cold water. They encounter .each ether east, or southeast, of Newfound land. Tha Gulf stream, after rushing out of the narrow strait of Florida, turns gradually away from tho American coast and spreada mora and more broadly, until It finally divided Into vast branches, one of which trends eouthward between the A sores and tha coast of Spain, whll an other toe on and warm th air around th British Idea. Th cold La bad or current, bearing the Iceberg from Greenland, huga th Ameri can coast, and I probably mainly re sponsible for tha cool spring weather which we sometimes enjoy, and some time denounce, when Its changeable mood become too eccentric. If you will look at a chart of th North Atlantic, showing th ocean current, you will perceive how th great Labrador stream, with Its cold, heavy. Ice-burdened water, terns to shoulder the genial current of th O; eam away from th atra eho of America, forcing It farther out la th ocean. It la evldenj. at a glance, that either aa Increase in the force of the cold stream from th north, or a decrease in that of the warm one from th south, would tend to widen th area covered by the Icebergs, and end lhatn farther than usual aero the land of the transatlantio liners. If och a change ha occurred. It must be due to Mm alteration In th fore ' and direction of th prevailing winds, for th ocean currents mainly arts from th general circulation ef the air. and that la turn depend upon the rotation of th earth on Ms axis. Th warm air In th region of tha equator rise and flow off northward at a high elevation, and th cold air from th north move southward, near th surface, to tsk lu place. But this surface air. coming from a part of th earth where th eastward motion due to the rotation ef th earth Is lea rapid rpeed of rotation h) greater than lu own. than It I toward th equator, finds Itself -moving over parts of th earth whoa Th consequence Is that a wind arise blowing westward over th surface. r'fiECiS.O.i IN LANGUAGE A man who I constantly traveling ever ine same railroad nas become well ac aualnted wtih th porters of th ieeping cars. On a recent trip ha hailed bis porter ex uberantly. nd aald: -Hello, Matthew! I have some good news for you. We've had a birth In- our family since I aaw you twins." Matthew grinned. "Well, rah," he said. l wouldn't call est no birth, saah. Iat am a aectam.. sao." Vauli a Com- P. SERVISS. You can see how this I If you tak a school glob and set It spinning on It axis. Than you will perceive that a point near either pole move only an Inch or less In the same time that a point near the equator move a foot or mora. In fact, this motion of translation Increases from nothing exactly at th pol to l,0ft miles an hour at the equator. Now, Imagine yourself to be moved suddenly from th pole to th equator. You would appear to be spinning through space tufts) miles an hour. In a direction opposite to that of th earth's rotation. The air from th Arctic region ex perience no such sudden Increase of motion because It requires a long tiro to make the journey over the earth's surface. Dut all the while It I moving toward th equator It Is continually find ing the surface beneath it moving faster eastward than It waa farther north, and, consequently, because II cannot Instantly tak up this Increase of eastward motion Itself, it allow th aurtac to turn beneath It; thus, with regard to that surface. It becomes a westerly wind. Love Labor THE BEE: I eiQ-.
