The Reversible Falls" in the ST.
John River.

But the most picturesque, as well as
the most striking manifestation of the
tidal wise and fall is at the mouth OF
the st. John river at St. John, New
Brunswick. Here may be witnessed
on every tide change of conditions
as sudden and as complete as quick
change of scene in drama; the
beauty of the landscape, enhanced by
the handiwork of man, adding greatly
to the impressiveness of the phenome.
non. This is locally known as the
reversible falls" although reversible
rapids" would be more appropriate
In map of st. John and its environs
drawn in 1884 by an officer of the ST
Johns Loyalists, the matter is re
ferred to in marginal note:
"The falls in this river are Justly
ranked among the curiOsities of the
world; they are at the mouth of the
river about one mile from the en-
trance, and are navigable four times
in twenty-four hours, which COM
mands great attention, as only a few
minutes are required to pass in safe
ty."
"The tide rising from twenty to
twenty-four feet, at high water is six
or eight feet higher than the river,
which occasions fall in the river as
well as out, the whole water of the
country having to pass between two
rocks sixty yards distant"
The scene of these rapids is a beau
tiful gorge through which, in remote
ages, the river appears to have forced
its way. For twenty minutes OH each
BIB and foo d, the river here is as
placid as mountain lake on a tran
quill day. Suddenly a streak of white
spreads across the gorge, and in few
minutes the calm is succeeded by the
turmil Of rushing whirling waters.
The reflections of the rocky shores
and of the graceful outlines of the sus-
pension and cantilever bridges which
span the mouth Of the gorge are oblit-
Grated as if mirror had suddenly
been ruthlessly shattered. - Gustav

Criminals Cannot be Citizens.

There was much talk about the
rights of American workingmen dur
ing the Homestead strike last year
and the so-called monopolists were
roundly abused for their treatment of
freeborn citizens. Hugh Ross, one of
the leaders in the strike and a men,
ber of the advisory committee which
set up an independent and revolution
airy government in Homestead and re-
fused to allow the regularly elected
officers of the town and county to do
their duty, recently applied for natur-
alization papers. He is Scotchman
and subject of Queen Victoria, and
he was such when he was violating
the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.
United States District Judge Bufiing-
ton, of Pittsburg, has refused to
naturalize him, because indictments
are hanging over him charging him
with murder, treason and riot in con-
nection with the Homestead affair. 1t
would seem to follow from this de-
cision that if Ross is convicted he can
never become an American citizen.
This would not be a result which
would be the source of great regret.
Convicts are not allowed to come into
this country as immigrants Neither
are paupers, nor cripples, unless some
one guarantees their support. There
is no reason why unnaturalized crimi-
mails should be treated differently from
criminals who have not yet entered
the country. Even American born
citizens lose their citizenship when
convicted of crime. Foreign born
workingmen who intend to make this
country their home should consider
the fate of Ross and hesitate before
they engage in unlawful and riotous
demOnstrations.-Brooklyn Eagle.

He Voted For Jackson

A Presidential election was pend

West to hear, and to take part with,
some speakers who were to address

work before us; and so went about,
all alone, trying to find some one who
had at lea I heard Of Lord and Lady

California For Health,

Iam often asked what part of South
ern California is best adapted to cer-
tain individual cases. This is, of
course matter of personal and con-
stitutional election. AS rule, how
ever, may say that rheumatic, neu-
ralgic and larnygeal cases do better in
the interior, since the sea air loses
much of its severity in travelling in
land between hot sun and a warm
soil. Convalescing cases recovering
from some long and tedious illness,
and those suffering from nervous pros
tratioD, insomnia, or the debilitated
stages of advanced consumption, are
more benefited by the hracing air of
the coast-the greater invariability
here experienced and the greater
amount of atmospheric moisture hav-
ing the desired effect.
1t is the absence of enervating heat
during the day or night, that permits
of SO many restorations of shattered
health which would elsewhere be i'm
possible. For this reason invalids
have been induced to adopt a Califor-
nian summer for a climatic change OF
for a residence, and our Eastern
friends can readily see that it is erro-
neous to consider California only as a
winter resort.
To the tourist the region offers every
conceivable variety of temperature
met with in either Europe, Africa or
Asia. The shores of Africa and the
interior of the great Sahara; the high
lands of Spain and the low hills and
plains of Italy; the abrupt Apennines
and the more gigantic Alps of either
Switzerland or Bavaria; the heather
clad hills of Scotland and the sunny
islets Of the Greek archipelago-all
have here their counterparts. Yet
with this strange diversity the cli-
matte faCtorial influence Of the great
heated desert and the vast, cold ocean
combine to produce a homogeneity
that makes California unique among
the known regions of the world.-P. G.
Remoudina, M. d., in Californian.
