The gulf stream, the great "river

Mexico (hence its name) through
the Florida strait7 along the eastern
coast of the United States and is

Atlantic. It is estimated to be 150
miles wide off Charleston and 300
mile3 wide off Sandy Hook, where
it spreads fanlike over the surface
of the north Atlantic. ff Cape

about three miles an hour, off the

After a big storm on the Pacific
coast an enormous number of squid
are usually driven inshore and tum
bled about by the breakers. When
such occurs every man or boy in the
California towns nearby who can
beg or borrow a horse goes galloping
down the beach armed with a six
foot bamboo pole, at the end of
which is a strong steel hook. They
dash into the surf, and driving the
sharp steel into the squirming jelly-

by one, with their sucker rimmed
arms coiling about like snakes.
They sell for about 25 cents each.
