THE BORE IN THE AMAZON.
4 Curious Phenomenon Observed In Great
Rivers.

Rivers.
The ''bore" in great rivers is curious
phenomenon concerning which we get
some interesting information from the
recent United States supplement to the
sailing directions of the east coast of
South America. The bore on the Anna
zon seems to partake of the character
of a tidal wave. 1t sometimes occurs in
the western branch of the Amazon near
spring tides, but generally confines it
self to the shadows and affluents, and
is not dangerous in depths greater than
four fathoms.
1t announces its presence by a roar
which is heard at a distance of several
miles. This ominous noise increases
as the wall of water approaches, and
then the front of the bore, from five to
twelve feet in height, surges in with a
breaking force and spreads over the
shallow waters off Maraca island and
the estuaries of the Araguri river The
velocity is from twelve to fifteen miles
an hour. Strange as it may seem, the
phenomenon never develops except at
low tide, and is most frequent and de-
structive at the equinoXes. The Chinese
rivers have the most remarkable bores.
Then comes the Amazon
Sometimes three or four of these great
waves dash up the river in quick sue
cession. The explanation of the phe-
nomenon is easy 1t is partly due to
the trades and partly to the prevalence
of strong winds, peculiarly favorab BILE to
the formation of a wall of water. The
storm wave of cyclone seems to unite
with an exceptionally high tidal wave.

The TRADE DOLLAR.
Its Origin and Cnrcer-Coined for Sc
Oriental Countries


Oriental Countries
One of the annoyances of business
men is the trade dollar" says the Kan
sas CITY Star. \ man will come in hur-
riedly, make purchase, and throw
down a disc of silver that looks and
rings like dollar. After he Is gone the
merchant finds a trade dollar IN his
TIL, and it has a tendency to make him
irritable
The trade dollar was commercial
convenience when first coined, but 1t Is
now n commercial nuisance In 1873
the trade dollar was issued for purposes
of trade with China and other Asiatic
countries. Before that time Americans
had been buying Mexican dollars and
shipping them to the Orientals in pay
ment of merchandise. The trade dollar
was never intended for circulation in
this country, but for expectation
abroad. For five years they were
coined and largely used. The act au-
thorizing their coinage repealed the act
authorizing the coinage of the standard
dollar. thus making them for a tame the
ONLY dollar coins issued by the United
States. The merchants might as well
have used silver bars for eastern trade,
but it was thought that the stamp of the
government certifying that 420 grains
of silver 900 fine would give other coun-
tries greater confidence than to
use simple bars of silver un-
stamped and uncertified. From 1873 to
1876 they were legal tender, and 10000
900 of them were coined. From 1876 to
1878 all trade dollars coined were not
legal tender, but it is the opinion of
hnt ha a l.
ready coined We're legal tender, while
those coined after 1876 were not. Their
coinage was discontinued February -,
1878. up to which time there had been
%, 1853. 800 coined. The exact value of
a trade dollar now is a. cents, although
people get as much more than that for
them as they can.
February 10, 1887, an act was passed
by congress authorizing the redemption
of trade dollars for six months, dollar
for dollar. At that time statisticians
estimated that there were about T,0O0,-
900 in the country. As 7,GS9,036 were
redeemed it is probable that there are
not many now in the United States,
although they do not command a pre-
mium as rarities.
Like all the other coins of value the
trade dollar has been counterfcited.
most of the counterfeits being made of
type metal and circulated in China, Ja-
pan and the East Indies. The inhab-
itants of the east have learned To be
wary and watchful when handling
coins that come from the oeeident-
Most of the trade dollars that went To
the eastern countries were melted and
recoined in the currency of the orient.
The trade dollar contains four more
grains of silver than the standard dol
lar, and has eight one-thOusandths the
less of alloy.

THE LoNG-sEARO FRATERNITY.
A Queer Bond of sympathy Between Men
Who Are strangers.

Who Are strangers.
a social philosopher in the Boston
Transcript says that there is a kind OF
freemasonry in boards. A man with a
long beard always makes the acquaint-
ance of other men with long boards.
Their boards are the only common
friend they need; and no man with such
a beard VIII ever suspect any evil of an
other man with long beard. Thou
sands of dollars have been borrowed
with nothing but a beard for security.
The acquaintance generally begins in
the same way.
