Strange Ocean Currents
Change Southern Lands
NEW YORK,, April 8. Strange changes in ocean cur
rents along the west coast of South America have caused
thousands of fish and sea birds to be killed and desert
land tO'be converted into tropical jungles by torrential
rains. , .
The phenonoma was caused by warm currents flowing
southward along the coast from south Equador to .north
ern Chile instead of cold current which prevents any rain
fall, it was reported by Captain George S. Dexter of the
steamer Santa Luisa.
The warm current caused torrential rains in northern
Peru and Equador. Whole villages were washed away,
Captain Dexter continued, and there are three new rivers
at.Talara, Peru, ordinarily a desert, one of which is 17
feet deep. "i.v ;? ; 1 ,. '
