A d4spatch from \tontiral says: In
order that the wheat crop may be pro-

this year instituted ingi.itles with the
object of ascertaining the number of
cars required for the transportation of
wheat. A report received from \\'inei-•
peg stated that the crop would probably
require fifteen thousand box cars, with
sulliciertt equipment of engines to lran-
dle them. These cars will be kept going
steadily from tvester•n points to the great
Ickes, and will be enough to take caro
of the wheat as it is marketed. Local

the question of wheat transportation be-
lieve that there will be 110 car shortage

Ocean Streams Are as Variable as the

There are as many vagaries in the
water as in the wind. Why, for In-
stance, should three great ocean cur-
rents send their worn' waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic, and across
the Cape of Good {lope? Atony theories
have been advanced to solve the prob-
lem of their origin, but all have proved
fallacious.
Other and equally mysterious currents
exist in well nigh all parts of the world.
The tides are so erratic in different parts

cept 1110 theory that the moon controls
thein in all cases, says Wissen fur Alle.
it is on record that the sea has run for
weeks out of 1110 Java Sea through the
Straits of Sunda, 'and thence back again
for a like period, without any perceptible
rise or fall during those times.
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean Sea ; the

Takes Precedence Before the 1(0)al.
Fancily Within the
City.
1f the lord Mayor of London is not
quite the exalted ami all-powerful being
our Continental neighbors picture him,
ho is, on the other hand, invested with
1110011 greatest powers and dignities than
many u1 his fellow-suhje:ls of King Ed-
ward are aware of. Int fuel it is not a
g:•oat exaggeration to say of him that
ha is a King within his own jurisdic-
tion, says London Tit -flits.
His kingship is enlphasizerl by the
fact 'ilia within his (:fly bounds he has
the right of precedence before all rho
ltuyal Family. This was a claim which
the fourth George, when Prince of
Wales, resented and wished 1.1 dispute'.
but Sir Janes Shaw, the lard Mayor of
the lime, stuck to his guns, and the petr-
o( the Gmrges had to be content with a
view of his lordship's broad back. In
old limes even the King of England
could not gain admittance to the (:fly
preserves unless• like anybody else, ho
knocked at the door and asked perni s-
5iOn to enter. Of course, fie a matter of
courtesy, the Lord Mayor teak care to
be at Tetnplo Bar ready to give his.
Sovereign
A HOSPITABLE WEI.COME.
To -day the King's soldiers cannot
march in any large numbers through
the city streets unless the Chief Mages--
trale gives the necessary permission:,
and the password of the Tower of Lon-
don is sent to him regularly, bearing-
the
earingthe King's own signature. Even out-
side his kingdom he is treated by his
Sovereign with almost as great honor
as if he were Indeed a king. Not only
has he the coveted honor of the entrees
a: Levees and Drawing -Roosts, but ho-
ts permitted to drive straight into rho
Ambassadors' Court at St. James's
Palace, while very exalted persons in-
deed are compelled to drive around by
Ccnstilution hull. Ile also enjoys rho
rare 1•rlvilege of a private audience with
His \tajesly whenever he chooses to
current which, starling half -way up the
China Sen, runs from too to lht•ee knots
an hour to the north, and finally ends
a',reptly at the north end el Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over ns lours. Resi-
dents along the North Sea are familiar
with totem, and can ser' them run from
.side to side in a zigzag shape, until they
reach their limit, often tearing the ships
from anchorage. They originate nobody
knows where or why.
The rush of waters in the Ray of
Fundy is nothing but a huge bore
sweeping till before it up to the heed of
the bay, until the western waters have
risen to the height of 50 or G0 feet. Off
5' uthampt0n, in England, there are the
double tides, while at Singapore it has
been observed for days at a lime that
there has been but one rise and fall in
the 24 hours, The tides may be, and
very often appear as Ihoagh they were,
(moonstruck, but they are certainly not
controlled with hart and fast rules by
that or any other holy.

and he can summon his courts wheel
and where he will. Within the memory
of people now living these courts used
to be held in the gorgeous stale Jorge.
it is, hu'.ycver, seldom nowadays that
the Lord Mayor travels to the limits of
his river kingdom. C►nce in fourteen
years it is his duly to visit Oxford, and
Rochester is honored once in seven
years; and it is, perhaps, well that these
slate visits are not more frequent, sin' n
a single one of them costs a round
$;,.000. A compromise is effected by a
yearly trip of the Lord \toyer end cor-
p0ration as far as Twickenham in the
month of July ; and even this modest
jaunt costs 8730.
Within the City the Lord Mayor has
very extensive powers, nmenotling prac-
tically to a veto nn nil the courts in his
jurisdiction. The Gouts of Aldermen
and Common (council and the Court of
Livery in Common 111111 assembled can-
not even meet unless his lordship con-
venes thein; and he can at any time
put a full stop to (heir proceedings by
removing the sword and Mace from the
hall.
