THE TIpEs-Constant Reader, City. The tide
tables published in THE CALL show the time
when it is high and low water in the bay of
San Francisco and immediate vicinity. There
are four tides every twenty-four hours-high
tide ana higher high tide, and low tide and
lower low tide. In the table printed, High
water large, small" and Glow water large,
SMALL" are distinguished the dlHerent tides.
When in the table appears "High water large
:O2 A.; small 2 A P, that means that 1t Will
be high water on the higher high tide at 1:O2
o'clock in the morning and high water on the
lower high tide at 2: IA in the afternoon; so
tide has reached its maximum height, as indi-
Gated by the table, it turns and falls until IT
reaches the low-water mark, the time OF which
is given.

Tie idea Of an electric light which,

tcnsified moro than 5000 times, is

projection Of stream of light Of
about 25O, 900, ,O0O-candlc power, and
it IS no wonder that the announce

used IN this country has been re-
cciycd with some incrcduity in
Europe.
Yct this is the efficiency Of the
light which will be shortly erected
At Fire island for the illumination of
tho adjacent coast and the protcc-

New York harbor. Bearing in mind
that an ordinary oil lamp is about
thirty eight or forty-candle power,
and then try to imagine the com

The most powerful oil lamp yet
made is supposed to shine out on a
cicar night for distance of thirty

will flash its welcome rays to tho in

are 120 miles away. The light re-
wolves rapidly and throws out its
beams with the intensity and speed

can only be determined by practical
working, but it promises to repre-
sent tan immense stride in the science

EHe Liked to Hit His Papa.

Mr. EDrToR: Two weeks ago while
in Bcnnettsville to pay my taxes, the
weather changed from very pleasant
to very cool. therefore as | had little
money left | purchased me an oyercoat.
| brought it home and hung it oL the
rack for future use, as there was none
of the family at homo but myself and
better half" In few days my son
came home from n weeks absence On
his arrival wife says sold man put on
thai ovcrcoat and slip into The room
and set behind tile door and scnre rom
whcnj he comes in.' Az agreed with
me and left my wife out III another
room TO entertain our Scn, for we were
glad To see him aidwo Old folkswantc1
some fun in our declining years.
In few minutes Tom inquiries Of
"better half" where is Pa. She made
a feebl' excuse and kept on chatting
and soon found some business for him
to attend to in an adjoining room.
My heart began to go pity pat. I
thought the tun would soon be on
hand when heard that, although 1
was in good trim for the occasion.
There | stood behind the door with
the ugliest overcoat on that Bennetts
vile could afford for the same money,
with the cape turned over my head
and my white beard stuck out in front
With only space enough for one eye to
see with. Being the ugliest man and
cont that perhaps was ever wrapped
together, just MS Tom entered m adjoin-
ing oom there stood. When he caught
the door and pulled it to the front he
saw me. At the spur OF the moment
he sprang backwards with fist shut to
hit lis papa.

cGEFaED QUITE NATURAL.

The College Athlete thought tho
own Rad Strong Rush Line.
Tho young man was hurrying along
the street with his hat pulled down
over his eyes. Uc was SO oblivious of
all his surroundings that he got di-
ractly IN front Of big delivery
wagon wethout even seeing it.
That was when the sport began.
Ihc muscular corner policeman
reached out and caught him by the
collar Quick action was necessary,
and he gave bin q yank that lifted
liim oil his feet and shot him against
u passing cable car. The car turned
him over once or twice, and thcn
some projection caught il his coat
and he was dragged half q block.
He managed to wi'igglc out of his
coat, and by an almost supcrhuman
