Chevalier, the well knowi artist who accompanied the late Du!o of Edinburgh on many of his travels' was once going from Dtmedlu I: Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer Anxious to catch the tinrllest glimpse of the coast he went on deck at dawn and was alarmed to see that the vessel was heading straight on to the laud. Calling the officer’s attention to the fact, he was told tbnt It was only n fog hank. The artist maintained b!.-* point, but the second officer looked and confirmed his mate. * The artist then said: “Well, gentle men, I will back my artist’s eye against your sailor’s eye. and f sav that what you mistake for a fog bani: ts a low range of hills, and tlnere Is a range of mountains appearing above them.” But he was only laughed at. until the captain coming on deck found In the growing light that the artist was right and the seamen wrong. The ves- gel was out of Its course, and there was only Just time to avert disaster. The helmsman was dismissed in dis grace and the course given to the new steersman, but the vessel’s bead wtlii pointed landward—the compass wa«*JI wrong. The canse was discovered later. A commercial traveler had brought a taox of magnets on board and deposited them In a stern etibin, causing wbat might have been a fatal deflection of the compass. To return to the question of Inter pretation. the artist was dealing with the appearances which his eye was trained to see and his mind to Inter pret. A speck on tb* horizon might have remained a mere speck to him long after the sailors bad Interpreted the speck Into a vessel of definite rig. There can be tittle doubt thqt the trained eye Is accompanied by a sort of mental seeing, an instinct outrun ning optica. DEEP SEA CURRENTS. mysteries Of The ocean that have puzzled the scientists. A Theory hs tb the btlglii and Caasg of the Galt and Other Stream*—Art) They the rrortuet Of Immense hhtl* marine GeySerM t For more than n Century (tcitmlsts' find philosophers have ttoetf v'riinly try-, Ing to discover the origin and cause of the mysterious current in'the Atlantic' Ocean bulled the gulf stream. Why so called ts not apparent, as nothing In the gulf of Mexico Is In Its composition.' There have beeu many theories, which have been abandoned, some perfectly absurd, such ait its being caused by the enrth In Its revolution on tts axis, for if It had the power to draw this stream rft the rate of five miles aii 'hour from ilte conn of Honda It would draw all tiic water frtiiw ! the rftst coasts of North fiml Kcnflr Amerlcif n't the some velocity. T he prevailing tiictfry Is' that ’ the northeast triple w'lmM drive if cur-, rent Into the b'firlbheau set* j»mf a'idVd hy the feeble equatorial strewtn. heap'’ up the water In the gnT of Mexico, thence rushing nrotiifd the south of Florida from the source of the gulf Irenut. Hdt there is no such a heap- ug of the waters 111 that gulf. The waters there are sluggish, and there Is in 1 ri'ceptlble current lending toward he .;i lf rtuiun or anywhere else. ■' bin theory tins been accepted for •nut ,.f a better, but those who favor ere not entirely satisfied with It. The ■ttilf stream Is an Independent body of water, having no connection with the water around or behind the point where It emerges, it Is warmer nnd jf a deeper blue than the surrounding ens and gushes forth from the start ing point off Cape Sable at the rate of from five to six kuots an hour, with -i temperature of aliout UO degrees, lessoning gradually ns It proceeds ou Its Journey of thousands of miles across the Atlantic ociwii. warming the west ern shores of Europe. Having seen the fallacy of the the ories concerning the gulf stream, we trill turn our atteution to the great Pa cific current, Identical In all respects will) Its sister current of the Atlautic and concerning which there are no the ories to contend with. It starts spontaneously ffotu a spot & r ew miles from the south end of the stand of Formosa, In the Banshee ‘baunel, following the coast of For mosa northeasterly, past and through the Loocboo Islands, skirting the const of Japan: thence turns eastward on Its long Journey across the wide Pacific, warming the coast of America from Puget sound to Mexico, its dnrk blue waters are In striking contrast to the surrounding sens, giving It the name of Muith Suur, or black water. It Ib nu ndependeut stream where Do eomblon- .lon of winds or currents enu possibly ■uuse the mighty rush of warm blue .vuter with a velocity of from five to lx knots an hour from the start. Iu Its characteristics of heat, color ind direction It resembles the gulf dream lu every particular, and the i'lgln of the two streams must be the nine, whatever they may be. which 1 hall endeavor to show later ou. There s another ocean current similar In nil expects to the other two. with the ex- •eptlon tint it runs In an exactly op- loslte direction. Starting from the vl- ■Inlty of the south end of the Island of Madagascar, it ruus southwesterly uround the Cape of Good Hope, where it disappears off Cnpe I.agnllns. As a current, probably part of It hi diverted into a steady set of the eastern currant, mused by the prevailing westerly winds lu thut region. No scientists, so lar as 1 am nwiire. have attempted: to account for this current. Haying now ■roved beyond refutation that all the ories advanced ns to the cause of ocean currents ore groundless. It remaius to be proved wbat tbe true cause Is. It must be admitted that the current* have a similar origin, as they are Iden tical in every respect as regards color, beat and velocity, springing forth In the same'manner spontaneously from tbe earth In sortie mysterious way. There Is tto place on tbe surface of tbe earth where the water con be heated to furnish' the beat contained in thi>se streams that gush forth from the depths of tbe sea: consequently the forces must be subterranean and can only be accounted for by large bodies of dear, blue water from the ocean forcing Its way Into fibe depths of the earth tinder Its crust, where It burrow« a channel of Its own to the surface again, having received It* wnrmfb on tbe way by aontact with the Internal' heat of tbe lower region* at the earttv, forced on by continual pressure from' behind. Thai there are orifices tn the earth’s crust cannot be denied, also what be comes of tbe vast volnme of water that cannot be computed whleb la constant ly running at tbe rate of from four t« six knots an hour from tbe Atlantic ocean, through the strait of Gibraltar Into tbe Mediterranean sea. The nu merous rivers, too. are contlnssUy flowing In. and yet the sea remains at tbe same level. Evaporation cannot account for it for what Is evaporated Is formed Into clouds and U precipitat ed again Into tbe sea by the medium of storms sad frequent rajas, _ _ - Tbe 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 tie discovered hy soundings: consequently these three mighty currents nre noth ing more or less tint a Immense geysers. —Chptalu b.

( Why Hindoos Don’t Go Mail. * Why are there so few lunatic asy lums and so small a proportion of in sane potions In India? That lo a ques tion which many a traveler has won- deringiy asked. Tbe Hindoos regulate their lives en tirely In acco4tdance with their religion— that Is, their working, eating, sleeping! as well as what we usunlly regard a* our “life” In tbe religious sense of tha Word. Everything Is arranged for them, and they follow tlx* rules now Just its they did 2,000 years ago. This constant observance of the same rules for twen ty centuries has molded the brains of thq race into one shape, ns It were, ami although their rites nre queer enough, yet there Is but an occdslounl example of that striking deviation from ibf common Wblcli la called Insanity In countries inhabited by the white race. They are fatalists too. With them It fa a case of “wbat la to be wilt be” carried to tbe extreme.. This bns in time given them tbe power to take al' tilings calmly and ao freed them from the anxiety that drives so many white men Into the lunatic asylums. Met His Match. That well known historical person-, age, Augustus the Strong, elector, ot- Saxony, has furnished tbe subject for many a tale of hit wonderful muscular power.
