THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
A Can Where It Wti More Reliable
Than a Sailor's Optic.
Mr. N. Chevalier, the well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
of Edinburgh on many of his travels,
was once going from Dunedin to
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer.
Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse
of the coast he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the vessel
was heading straight on to the land.
Calling the officer’s attention to the
fact, he was told that it was only a
fog bank. The artist maintained Ills
point, but the second officer looked
aud confirmed bis mate.
The artist then said: “Well, gentle
men. 1 will back my artist’s eye
against your sailor’s eye, and I say
that what you mistake for a fog bank
Is a low range of bills, and there Is a
range of mountains appearing above
tbem.”
But be was only laughed at. until
the captain com tag on deck found tu
the growing light that the nrtlst was
right and the seamen wrong. The ves
sel was out of Its course, and tbere
was only Just time to nvert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed In dis
grace aud the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessel’s head still
pointed landward—the compass was-all
wrong.
The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveler bad brought n box
of magnets on board and deposited
tbem In a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal deflection of
tbe compass.
To return to tbe question of Inter
pretation, the artist was dealing with
tbe appearances which bis eye was
trained to Bee and bis mind to Inter
pret. A speck on tbe borison might
have remained a mere speck to blm
long after tbe sailors had Interpreted
the speck Into • vessel of definite rig.
Tbere can be little doubt that tbe
trained eye is accompanied by a sort
of mental seeing, an instinct outrun-
olng optics.
A Theory- on IS the Orlarin end Cause
of the GOlt nnd Other Streams—Are
They the Product of Immense Sub
marine Geysers I
For more than a century scientists
bnd philosophers have keen vainly- try
ing to discover tbe origin and cause ol
the mysterious current In the Atlantic
ocean called the gulf stream. Why so
called Is not apparent, ns nothing In
the gulf of Mexico Is In Its composition.
There have been many theories, which
have been abandoned, some perfectly
absurd, such as Its being caused by tbe
earth In Its revolution on Its axis, for
if tt had the power to draw this stream
at the rate of five miles an hour from
the coast of Florida It would draw all-
the water from the east coasts of
North aud South America at the same-
velocity. The prevailing theory Is that
the northeast trade wluds drive a cur
rent Into the Caribbean sen and, aided
by tbe feeble equatorial stream, beup
up the water in the gulf of Mexico,
thcuce rushing around the south of
Flprida from the source of the gulf
stream. But there Is no such • heap
ing of the waters In that gulf. The
waters there are sluggish, aud there Is
no perceptible current lendlug toward
tbe gulf streum or anywhere else.
’ r hls theory has been accepted for
want of a better, but those who favor
It are not entirely satisfied with IL The
gulf stream Is an Independent body of
water, having no connection with the
water around or beblud tbe point
where It emerges. It Is warmer and
4>f a deeper blue thnn tbe surrounding
seas and gushes forth from tlie start,
tug point off Cape Sable at the rate of
from five to six kuots an hour, with
a temperature of nbout DO degrees,
lessening gradually as It proceeds on
Its journey of thousands of miles ncross
the Atlantic ocean, warmlug tbe west
ern sbores of Europe.
Having seen the fallacy of the the
ories concerning tbe gulf stream, we
will turn our ntteutlou to the great Pa
cific current, identical In all respects
with Its sister 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 eDd of t.be
Island of Formosa, In tbe Banshee
channel, following the coast of Kqj-
rnoaa northeasterly, past and tlirppgh,
the Loochoo Islands, sklrtlqg tjl.e const
of Japnn: thence turus eastward bn its.
long Journey across Uw wide Pacific,
warmlug the toast of America from
Puget sound to Mexico, Its dark blue
waters, are In striking contrast to the
surrounding seas, giving It tbe name of
Murm Suar, or black water. It Is au
Independent stream, Where no combina
tion of wind? or currents can possibly
cause the mlglity rush of worm blue
water with a velocity of from five to
six knots an hour from tbe start.
In Its characteristics of beat, color
and direction It resembles tbe gulf
stream lu every particular, and tbe
origin of the two streams must be the
snrne, wbateve* they may be, which I
shall endeavor to show later oik There
Is another ocean current similar In all
respects to the other two, with the ex
ception that It runs lu an exactly op
posite direction. Starting from tbe vi
cinity of tbe south end of the Island of
Madagascar, It ruffs southwesterly
around the Cape of Good Hope, where
it disappears off Cape Lh gull ns. As a
current, probably part of It is diverted
Into a steady set of the eastern current,
caused by tbe prevailing westerly
winds In that region. No scientists, so
far as 1 am aware, have attempted to
account for this current. Having now
proved beyond refutation that all the
ories advanced as to the cause of ocean
currents are groundless, tt remains to
be proved what the true cause is.
It must be admitted that the currents
Have a similar origin, as they ore iden
tical In every respect ns regards color,
heat and velocity, springing forth In
the some manner spontaneously from
the eBrtb In some mysterious way.
There Is no placo on the r.arface of tbe
earth where the water can be heated
tto furnish the heat contained in these
streams t*-.at gush fo-th from the
depths of the seat consequently the
forces mmt bo subterranean and can
only be accounted for by largo bodies
t,f dear, blue water from tbe ocean
forcing its way Into tbe depths of tbe
'earth under Its emst, where It buiWwi
a channel of Its own to tbe surface
again, baring received its warmth on
the way bjr contact with tbe Internal
heat of the Bower regions of tbe earth,
forced on by continual pressure from
behind.
That there are oriflcea in tbe earth’s
onset cannot be denied; also what be
come* of the vast volume of water that
cannot be computed which la constant
ly running at tbe rate of from four to
aix knots an hour from the Atlantic
ocean, through the strait of Gibraltar
Into the Mediterranean sea. The nu

flowing la, and yet the sea remains at
the tame level. Evaporation cannot
account for it for wbat is evaporated

All Massalman* Secure Convert*.
Europeans habitually forget that ev
ery Mussulman Is more or less of a
missionary—that Is, ‘be Intensely de
sires to secure converts from non-Mus-
sulmau peoples. Such converts nol
only lucren.se his own cbnnce of heav
en, but they-swell Ids own faction, bill
own army. Ids own means of conquer
ing, governing and taxing tbe remain-'
der of mankind.
AH tbe emotions wldch Impel a Chris--
tian to proselyte are In n Mussulman,
strengthened by all the motives wldcb
Impel a political leader and all. the mo
tives which sway a recruiting sergeant,.
until proselytlsm has become a pas
sion, which wherever success seems
practicable,, and especially success ou a.
large- scale, develops lu the quietest
Mussulmau a fury of ardor which In
duces 1dm to break dowu, every obsta
cle, his own strongest prejudices In
cluded, rather than stand for an. In
stant In a neophyte's way. He web
comes hint ns n son, aud. whatever id*
own lineage aud whether the convert
be negro or Chinaman or Indian ot
even European, he will without hesi
tation or scruple give his own child In
marriage and admit blm fully, frankly

ciety-In tbe world.—Tqwnsend’s “Brown

Loaded With Pat. j
In the good old days when we were
greatly pestered by n neighbor’s sow,
or mule, or bull, or dog, In ending our
premises nnd taking unwarranted lib
erties we loaded the old shotgun with
powder nnd fat meat and. after serving
due notice upon snld neighbor nnd said
notice being Ignored, set out to uphold
tbe first law of nature, self defense.
The amount of execution that can be
done by a wad of fat meat on top of a
good charge of powder Is amazing.
Wherever It strikes lrnlr nnd bide dis
appear. It seldom If ever kills, but
leaves scars that time does not obliter
ate. The fat being salty, causes excru
ciating pain, which lingers long In
memory, and the stricken phlmnl does
not offend again. V
