4 trhole is what Belshazzsr made,
And Solomon the wise;
Whole of the wicked, Amos said,
Was what he did despise.
Good Ezra did proclaim last,
So did Jehoshaphat;
1t seems that in the times gone past
The rulers oft did that.
Though lasting may with ease be done
By all who care to try it,
A certain Tanner was the one
To gain distinction by it.

there he never said, but he started, gave
a low cry, and moved to stand up. Sim

MINAS BASIN D
A Wall of Water Eight Feet High Running
Ton Miles an Hour.

Ten Miles an Hour.
The Bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac at
which the Atlantic ocean seems to have
taken a spite, and at regular intervals
pours in its waters ~viciously and with
intent to do all possible harm. Take
for instance tho harbor of St. John. In
most parts of the world a tide of from 6
to 10 feet is quite sufficient to satisfy all
reasonable demands. In st. John harbor
the tide rises 81 feet on an ordinary day,
and occasionally varies the monotony by
pushing the mark up 3 or 4 feet ms the
humor seizes it, and | was never struck
with any thing in my life as with this
advance and r~eceding of the waters.
| have described the narrow gorge
through which the st. John river is
forced into the Bay of Fundy. At low
tide where the water drops into the bay,
there is a fall Of some ten feet, the
channel being rough and totally i'm
passable for vessels Of any description.
At high water the fall is the other way,
the bay falling into the river with the
water flowing from its mouth toward its
source, and this occurs every day in the
st. John. One good effect of the tide
Is this, hat when it is half up or half
down the river is level with the harbor,
and then the immense number of
timber barges and other crafts which
have gathered in the river
while waiting for the. rise and
fall, are able to run nicely and easily
out into the harbor. st. John, be it un.
derstood, Is a great port for shipping.
At any day you can see a dozen of the
largest ocean-going vessels loading
deals for different parts of the world.
This timber mostly comes down the St
John river.
] saw the tide come in around the
headland at the Minas Basin, and it is a
sight worth going to see The head OF
the advancing tide is called "a bore"
If you can imagine a straight wall Of
water eight feet high, curling over at
the top, advancing upon you at the rate
of ten miles per hour, you will get an
idea of what q "bore" Is, and what a
turn Of the tide means. At the Minas
Basin this wall OF water comes tearing
around the headland like an express
train, and the man who was down on the
fiat sands Of the bay stood a remarkably
good chance of never leaving the sands
alive. If he got a good start of the
'bore" he might escape, and if he did
not he was drowned. You can not fool
with the tide of Minas Basin. 1t is q
plaything that the native who is ac-
quainted with the animal avoids. The
rise of the tide at Minas Basin is forty
five feet.
AT the extreme head Of the Bay of
Fundy the tide rises from sixty-fve to
seventy-fve feet, and runs at the rate
of fifteen miles an hour. This is not
only the highest tide in the known
world, but it is double the height, l am
told, Of any other known ide.-Portland
