Mr.. r. n. Hsskaasea, Port Biaksly,
WaskfNgfos TryttsyT:
6n:-In answer 70 your o0mmunica-
ton Of the lst inst, ! would state that,
in the opinion Of scientists. IT, tides do
not meet anywhere, though this 10 an
Oppression frequently used. Certain
tidal forces produce very complex o.
citations in seas, straits and rivers,
which Gauss the surface level to rise and
fall ut csrtsin intervals. This vertical
oscillation, however, il observable
mostly In shallow water near tho shore,
and especially in marrow straits and riv-
ers, and il small in deep water away
from land. If the whole surface Of the
water within tho Straits of Fuca and
Puget Sound rises at about the same
time, then, evidently, the water which ia
required TO produce q higher surface
Il vel must pass through the Straits in
the six hours. But 1t may b that the
water does not rise everywhere at the
same time, but that while it il rising in
some parts it Is falling ct others. Oh
servations at many places would b re-
quirsd 70 determine this. In the case
OF a regular canal extending inland
from the sea, theory gives what are
called stationary waves; that Is, oscilla-
tons in which one part rises while an
other part sinks, with modal lines be-
tween, whore there are no, or at least
very small, vertical oscillations. But
the theory Of such canal can scarcely
have any application 70 the irregular
Straits Of Fuca and Puget Sound, with
all their many ramidcatiOns. In con-
nection with the subject it must be
borne in mind that the vertical Oeoilla-
tions everywhere in from shore are
small in comparison with tho observed
oscillations near the shore. am, very
respectfully, yours,

 The Arabian mare Saieda, owned by Mir John w. Garrett, died recently at Montebel' To, at the age of thirty-four years, having been in vigorous health until the autumn, when she became feeble from her great age She had been for many years an object of much curiosity and interest to visitors It IS believed that she was the last imported Ara bian mare in the United States. Saieda was purchased for $4, ,OO0 in gold at Damascus in 1852, and imported by the late William Me Donald with Esnea, her companion, whe died in 1876, and whose skeleton is now II the Peabody Museum Yale College, New Haven, and used to illustrate the distinctive points of pure Arabian stock. Esnea and Safe da were considered so valuable that the Turk ish grooms who attended them in Syria ac. companied them to the United States. While in Paris the Emperor Napoleon inspected them and greatly admired these fine animals In the stables of Mir. Garrett are 8 large number of the immediate descendants o1 Saieda Among them Adniak (purchasee from Baron Speyer), sllver-gray stallion sired by Burlington, son of George M. Patch en :; Sultana, gray mare, foaled 1n 1873, bJ Bashaw, jr. i; Gulnare, gray mare, foaled IT 1877, by Saladin, son of Daniel the Prophe and Esnea two yearling colts, sired by Ad niack, received the first premiums st the re cent Maryland State Agricultural fair. Safe da's descendants are characterized by grea beauty, endurance and fine action. Adniacl and Sultana are favorites and are frequentl, driven to a trotting wagon. The skeleton O saieda has been preserved, and is being pre- pared and mounted by Mir. Joseph Palmer a the Smithsonian institution. It is designed to present the skeleton, when mounted, t. the commissioners of Druid Hill Park fo their museum of natural history.
