Ii was at best only small ana most filthy

ter has bulged 1000 miles to westward. In
other words, If the line representing the
daily tidal wave were drawn on a map of
the world instead of following meridian
from Cape Horn to San Francisco the line
would have to be curved nearly TO the coast
OF China and then brought east to San
Francisco.
This is the great tidal wave. The rest
cannot be better expressed than in the
words of Maury: THE tides are gigantic
wave movements, which affect the entire
mass Of the sea in general way. 1t may
be SAID that two vast waves, each having
It's crest and its depression, together en-
circle The globe from north to south. These
two ceaselessly chase one another over the
broad eXpanse of the sea, OccasiOniBg two
elevations and two Expressions OF its waters
in the course of about twenty-five hours.
From the TACT that these elevations and de-
press ions occur with regularity about one
hour later each day, thus readily marking
time, they are called tides. from the Anglo
Saxon It'd meaning time"
So much for tides in general, but now
canes in the little joker-the great and
small high water and low water of San
Francisco Bay.
1t must have occurred to most obseryant
persons to notice that when the moon is
above the horizon the time when she
reaches the highest point daily is also the
the time OF high tide. In other words when
the moon is just rising. the tide is just ris-
| ing; when the moon 10 setting, the tide is

But there is another factor in the matter.
Some times the full moon, for example,
rises very high in the sky, as for nstance
in the winter months. In the summer,
when the sun rises very high, the moon
makes very short, low curve above the
! southern horizon. As astronomers would
put it, the full moon Is in nigh northern
defamation in winter, and southern deelina-
| lion in summer.
There is high water every day when the
moon attains her highest point forthat day.
and CORES ponding high water when she
reaches her lowest point being then, of

Now this matter of the moons declina-

THE POOR MANS LUCK.
Usually the Person Who Can't Afford
1t Needs Artificial Limbs.


There are perhaps 300 900 men in this
country who need artificial legs or arms,
and not more than 100000 of these are sup
piled" 1t was a well-known maker OF
wooden legs who said this. he was ward
ing off an appeal to his charity in behalf Of
locomotive fireman who had slipped under
his engine and had been badly crippled.
THE fact is" he continued, sit
is always the poor man who loses
leg or an arm, now that the
war is over. Excepting the crippled
veterans who are kept supplied with legs
by the Government. nearly every man VINO
loses limb has to have help TO get a new
one. But while the lumber of pensioners
on account OF the war continues to Increase
with each Increase in years since that time
OF carnage. there is little likelihood thatthe
number OF makers OF artificial legs will fall
oil much in number. There are nearly 200
Of them now, large and small. many of
whom, having worked in one of the larger
factories. set up for themselves and whittle
out a timber toes" for unfortunates who
cannot afford TO buy one of the improved
legs.
The science OF making wooden legs and
arms has in recent years almost Eupplied
the place OF the natural members that have
been lUst, There is almost no occupation
now that is closed to a man on account of
his crippled condition, and by the use of a
man to walk almost without perceptible
imDediment or limp in his gait. In fact
man with both legs gone can now preserve
his equilibrium and walk about almost as
well as any other man.
The wood employed-wood being lighter
and stronger for this purpose than any
other material discoyered-iS willow or bass
wood, and after it has been seasoned and
carved into the proper form it is covered
with rawhide and enamel to strengthen and
finish it.
With artificial arms and hands man NAV
hold a fork, drive a horse. extend the arm at
will, and even wIite fair hand. There is a
case OF man who lost both hands and one
foot, who now walks perfectly well and is
able with his artificial hands TO grasp light
articles, open doors, and feed himsef A
man with two artificial legs rides horseback
and can mount and dismount readily, and
another man has even walked mile in 16
minutes and so seconds to beat the wooden
leg record. Skating and bicycle riding are
other accomplishments and enlOvments
from which some of the men with artificial
legs are not debarred. 1t is curious to note
that, according 10 the tables of percentages,
farmers are the greatest sufferers, II per
cent OF the cases of leg amputation being
found in their number while workers at
the bench number Is per cent, laborers 81
per cent and railroad men but per cent.

you see. this town was never entirely lost

The work of excavation or removing the
ashes in POmpeii is simple and easy and is
done by women, as they are considered
mere careful and sensitive TO the touch than
men. They have peaked baskets exactly
like those used by our California Indians
for carrying nuts, acOrns and other things,
with the same sort OF leathern strip across
the forehead and they bear the basket in
the same way. These ashes or bits of
pumlce are very light, and the women put
the mouth of the basket down and rake in
the debris carefully with their two hands,
while the officers in uniform are all the
time looking on. When a woman feels

of it TO an officer. aud then the work pro-
ceeds with caution; for all that can be
found or all that remains OF any dead body
is simply crust or case or shell. When the
debris is taken away from off and arougd
this thin shell it is perforated and plaster
of paris is poured in till the shell Is filled.
This process is singularly effective in re-

Emperor to the Czaroyitch, who stayed at

had been entertained since the reign of
Nicholas II. The German Emperor seized
eagerly every opportunity which presented
itself for holding long and eonfden-
tial conversations with his youthful
guest. The Cars present, which con-
sisted of Russian diadem In

gift and Is supposed to be worth e1o 600.
The Sultan has sent number of magpifi-
cent and very costly presents to the German
Emperor, whose eager acceptance of these
frequent gifts from Constantinople is se
verely censured IN & Rim. The latest con-
signment includes complete suite of
oriental furniture in ten pieces. The EN-
press has received two splendid vases of
great value in blue en- amel and silver. Each

worked diamond studs, with links to cor
