People in this country can hardly conceive the importance that the" course and temperature of the Gulf.

Thrown over in ‘ ' the aid of science, these bottle incased _ papers go drifting about hither and thither, but always taking the direc- tion of some well defined ocean cur- rent, which carries them along slowly. but surely on their secret mission.
