Arctic regions seem to be warming up in certaih portions and growing colder in others, and as conditions there affect weather all over the earth experts of the ewather bureau are endeavoring toâ€" solve the mys- tery. In the Greenland Sea. north of Eu- rope, milder weather anti less ice than ever before has prexailed this winter, while in the Behring Sea and in the regions north of America un- usually heavy ice has been reported. The cause or the unusual conditions has not been fathomed by meteorol- ogists. The change in temperature has brought about great changes in the flora and fauna of this portion of the Arctic. Former great shoals of Whitefish have disappeared from Spitzbergen waters \and the seal catch is far under the average. Her- ring and smelt, however, are now found in great numbers. Arctic ice conditions are said to be exceptional in this particular re- gion, and many old landmarks are so changed as to be unrecognizable. Where formerly great masses of ice were found there are now often ac- cumulations of earth and stones. At many points where 'glaciers formerly extended far into the sea about the Island of Spitzbergen, 2,000 miles north of Norway, they have entirely disappeared. The Gulf Stream, which circles around/the Gulf of Mexico, passes through the Straits of Florida and sweeps northeastward across the At- lantic Ocean and between Iceland and Norway, has been traced by an oceanographic expedition as a warm surface current beyond the Blst par- allel of latitude, “hich would be some 2,500 miles north of Hammer- fest Norway. In contrast to these mild condi- tions there is unusually ice in the Arctic north of America and in the Behring Sea. aml these have. caused the weather bureau to forecast fam- ine cmnlitinns in Japan this year. When the winters are unusually snâ€" vere the summers invariably have been so cool that the rice creps on which the peeple of “those regions «lulu-ml could not mature, famine cnnclitinns resulting. . find is tho life, the. truth. the way.
