Tides and Storms.

When n tempest is approaching or
passing out on the ocean, the tides are
noticeably higher than usual. as if the
water had been driven in vast wave
before the storm. The influence extends
to great distance from the cyclonic
storm center, SO that the possibility ex-
lists of foretelling the approach of dan
gerous hurricane by means of indications
furnished by tide gauges situated far
away from the place then occupied by
the whirling winds.
The fact that the tidal wave outstrips
the advancing storm shows how extreme
ly sensitive the surface of the sea is to
the changes of pressure brought to bear
upon it by the never resting atmosphere.

He Could 10 Indifferent.

1t isn't every man that owns silk
hat, but it is the dream of every very
young mans life to possess one. A
young man i'll our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved, and he wore a silk hat
Ho put it under tho scat carefully, and
the next person who came in gave it q
kick that practically ruined it, Most
young fellows would have had n fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
He was so philosophical that tho girl
was charmed AS they came out of tho
theater they met another young man,
and the thrco went to get some soda
water. The girl told about tho young
mans hat, and how philosophical he
was:
"Why, do you know, Jack" sho said,
Charley didn't even look annoyed. 1t
was lovely"
"Umph, said Jack, with fire in his
eye, Its all right for him to be lovely,
but it's my hatP'
1t is just such little things as this that
wreck the friendship Of lifetime.

Wales is known as the Chair of Idris OF
Cadcr Idris, as the Welsh people call it,
because its top is followed out like an
immense couch. According to local ira

dowed with the Hottest poetical inspira-
ton. No one seems to know exactly who
IdTis was or when he lived, but he must
