In re- gions where heretofore the sight of these lovely creatures was a rarity, they are now constantly to be-seen. On the lower slopes of the main range in New Guinea there was a tree so favored by these birds that the natives called it the Tree of the Dance. It was a thick-holed, wide-limbed tree standing in a naturally cleared space in the jungle, and the dancing began each morning with the rising of the sun. The birds were of a species called Ragiana, or Red Bird, the females of which were quite drab and ordinary, but the males splendid red-gold crea- tures, long of tail and gracefully built, with all manner of colors, flitting and quivering about their feathers. '- V " â€"â€" First came one of the males, stepping lightly and daintily from out the foliage near the centre of the tree, nodding his pretty pointed head, seeming al- most now and then to bow, and, on within our time. That familiar riv of the ocean (which, acwrding to a nt. computation, has a discharge through the Straits or Forida equal to twenty-two times the total discharge of all the rivers in the world) is directed by the action of the trade winds and the configuration of the coast and the ocean bottom; aslongasthe tradesper- sist it would take a vast submarine up- ‘heaval to effect any permanent alter- ation in the Gulf Stream’s course, and nothing of the sort has been observed recently. The minor variations which do occur owing to wind changes or the varying of the Labrador current are not Ienough to do much with the weather. ' Although’ its existence had been known to mariners since the days of lPonce de Leon’s expeditions to Florida ’and it had had an important effect on the routes of the early trans-Atlantic trade the first chart on which it was traced did not appear until 1770, when no less a scientific investigator than Benjamin Franklin got a Nan- tucket shipmaster to mark down the course of the current for him. The Nantucket man had learned it by ex- perience and as a part of the profes- sional lore of his trade; the resultant map was not very accurate, but for the earlier part of the course at any rate was good enough, both in direction and velocity. Though it had never be- fore appeared on charts. it had been used by seamen in their business for 250 years; “and it would be interesting to know.” observes the New York Her- ald Tribune. “how far the Gulf Stream, as a part of the system of wind and current which made the West In- dies the natural gateway to America, carried Columbus on his voyage of dis- covery.” upon the Gulf Stream as the real exâ€" panatlon of all the current vagaries 0! weather along the Atlantic seaboard, are assured by an article in the U. 8.

DO PRETTY DANCING But the one who reads in order to gain knowledge has learned that great lesson that â€"â€"Knowledge is power. Power to ride secure the stormiest wave that ever rolled upon the vast Sea of Time. He has learned that life is worth living, and that time is too precious to be lost in the quagmire of doubt and uncertainty. And therefore, he wants to know the Why and the Wherefore of everything pertaining to his sojourn here on earth, as well as to the country to which he is going. The question again revolves: For what do you read? Remember this is a ques- tion of great moment and of para- mount importance for on it may hangâ€" your immortal destiny. CARD 0!"
