Prepared by E. C. DeWITT A CO. Chicago, 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.
