A Monstrous Tide.

The Bay of Fundy forms cal-de-sac
at which the Atlantic ocean seems to
have taken special spite, and at regu-
lar intervals pours into it an enormous
amount of water. Take the harbor of
st. Johns as an illustration of what this
mighty tide must be. In most parts of
the world tide of ten feet is considered
something abnormal, but at st. Johns it
rises twenty to twenty-four feet in good
weather. In stormy weather the mo-
notony is varied by the high water
mark being pushed up even ten or if-
teen feet higher.-St. Louis Republic.
