QUEER QUERIES.--CLIMATE OF THE BRITISH ISLES.--As the Gulf Stream
produces such an effect on the English climate, would it not be
feasible to add to the heat of the water in some way--say, by erecting
powerful furnaces somewhere on the south coast of Florida, or by

the sea? I am not a man of science, but I should be glad to hear your
opinion of the scheme.--SUFFERER FROM COLD.

Printed Matter, Drawings, or Pictures of any description, will in no
