Por more tlmu a century scientists
and philosophers have been vainly try
lag lo discover the origin nml cause of
the mysterious current lu the Atlantic
eeenn called the gulf stream. Why so
called Is uot apparent, as nothing lu
the gulf of Mexico Is In Its composition
Tin re bnve been muny theories, which
hnc been nbaudoued. some perfectly
absurd, such as Its belug cutised by the
en rih In Its resolution on Its axis, for
If it had the power to draw this stream
at the rate of live miles an hour from
Hie coast of I'lorlda It would draw all
the water from the cast coasts of
North and South America at the same
velocity. The prevailing theory Is that
the northeast trade winds drive a cur
rent Into the Carlbbenn sen uud, aided
by the feel le eitiatorhil stream, heap
up the wntcr lu tlie gulf of Mexico,
thence rushing around the south of
lioridn from tho source of tho gulf
stream. Hut there Is uo such a heap
ing of tlie waters iu thnt gulf. The
waters tin re are sluggish, and there Is
uo perceptible current leading toward
the gulf stieum or anywhere else.
''ills theory has been accepted for
want of a better, but those who favor
it are not entirely satistled with It. The
ci. If stream Is au Independent body of
water, having no connection with the

where It emerges. It Is warmer nud

I In i lie; seen the fallae of the the.
orles concerning the gulf stieam, we
will turn our attention to the great I'n
clflc current. Identical In all respects
with Its sister current of the Atlantic
nml concerning which there are uo the
ories to contend with.
It starts spontaneously from n spot n
few miles fiom the south end of the
Island of 1'ormosa, lu the Hanshee
channel, following tho coast of For
mosa northeasterly, past and through
the l.oochis) Islands, skirting the coast
of .lupan: thence turns eastward on Its
long Journey across the wide I'ucltle.
warming the coast of America from
1'tigol sound to Mexico. Its dark blue
waters are In striking contrast to the
sutToumliug seas, ghlug it the mime of
Murrn Soar, or black water. It Is an
Independent stream where no combina
tion of winds or currents can possibly
c.iuse the mighty rush of warm blue
water with a leloclty of from five lo
six knots an hour from tlie stmt.
I u Its characteristics of heat, color
and direction It resembles the gulf

origin of the two streams must bo the
