Tides.

The following is given in brief as the
theory most generally entertained by sci
entists with few exceptions, concerning
tides 1t is assumed that the moon, acting
alone, would not only raise wave on the
side Of the earth nearest to it by gravita-
tion, but would also draw the earth itself
far enough out of its course to leave be-
hind some of the water on the farther side,
which water would then be raised relative
ly to the earth's surface and constitute
the second tidal wave The sun alone
would act similarly, although its tide
raising effect is only about two-ffths that
of the moon Now, at new moon the sun
and moon pull together" and give high
er tides than at the first and third quar-
tiers, when the sun draws its right angles
to the line of the moons attraction, and
at full moon when the sun is ON the OPP
posite side of the earth from the moon,
virtually the same effect is observed as at
new moon, but the double tide raising ac-
ton of the sun would again be superim-
posed on that of the moon and give tides
on opposite sides as high as those fort
night before. New York Sun

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR JOHN.
He, Bridegroom. Kisses the Chamber
maid, and His Wife Sees Him.

There is a young Kansas bridegroom
who is explaining yet.
One day last week there arrived at the
Coates House pair of young people 1t
did not take Sherlock Holmes to see that
they were recently married The sunflow-
ers in their hats betrayed the name of the
state from which they had just emigrated.
The newly married couple were shown
to nice parlor on the third floor, not the
best in the house. nor the worst either.
The young husband seemed to have plenty
of money, but he did not elbow it in"
promiscuously, though he conflded to the
clerk his intention of celebrating the aus
picious event in properly elaborate man
ner.
After some persuasion the young fellow
induced his wife to leave him long enough
to enable him to supcrintend the removal
of their trunks to their room. With many
waves of her handkerchief the blushing
and happy bride assembled to her room and
there waited eagerly for her better half to
put in an appearance.
A maid was sent to brush up the room
and the young bride had nice little chat
with her while the touches were being
put on.
But presently a manly step was heard
just outside the door
"There he ISL exclaimed the bride rap
turously.
Il guess I'll get out of herer' cried the
maid coyly.
And she got.
She got just as far as the door. A great
bear of man, whose eyes were blinded by
the light he had just left, caught her in
his arms as she opened the door, and a
pair of Kansas lips came down upon her
mouth in Il hearty smack, while the girl
struggled in his arms, and the man ex-
claimed soothingly Did l scare you,
love?'
All this took but a minute. Then q
third voice smote the air;
"Ain't you ashamed of yourself, John
Peters,"
That was all it said.
But the young husband had found his
eyes now, and the maid had escaped, leav-
ing the impulsive young Kansan to con-
sole weeping bride as best he could. He
tried to explain
And he is probably trying to explain
yet.-Kansas City Star.

DO Flies Talk?

An ingenious inquirer, armed with a
microphone or sound magnifer has been
listening patiently through long hours to
the curious noises made by house flies and
reports his belief that they havea language
of their own. The language does not con
sist of the bulzing sound we ordinarily
hear, which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air, but of a smaller,
finer and more widely modulated series of
sounds, audible to the human ear only by
the aid of the microphone. Probably this
fly conversation is perfectly audible to the
fly ears, which, as every schoolboy knows
who has tried to move his hand slowly up
on them, are very acute, The hope is OK,
pressed that, since the heretofore inaudible
whispers of flies have been detected and.
recorded, some inventor may construct a
microphone which will enable us TO make
out the Language of the microbes and SO
surprise them In the horrible secret of their
mode of operations

Curiosities About Fish Scales.

The thin, silvery coating of fish scales
derives its luster from many minute orys-
tails of lime, mixed with a peculiar sub
stance called "guanin." This coating of
silver crystals is very easily rubbed off the
scales, and in the case of European spe
cies of carp known as the "bleak" the
crystals are so numerous that metallic
pigment, commercially known as "argen-
tine, is made from them. The large
glohular glass beads, known as German"
or Roman" pearls, are coated on the in
side with this substance. In some species
of fish with lusterless scales the silvery
lining is found on the inside of the body.
A well known example of this is seen in
the common smelt.-St. Louis Republic.

A HORSE AND A MULE.
Proposition to Join Gas and Steam En-
CINE Together.

Referring to the discussion of the gas
engine question, a prominent engineer re
marked in conversation that he failed to
see why the gas engine and the steam en-
CINE should not be compounded, so to
speak.
He put the case something in this man.
ner; In the gas engine one of the problems
is to keep the cylinder reasonably cool and
in the steam engine to keep the cylinder
hot. Now, suppose we have gas engine
running and jacket its cylinder with wa
ter, which is then used for boiler feed wa
ter, thus saving the heat which is now
thrown away. Then take the exhaust
from the gas engine through the jacket of
the steam cylinder and if necessary, as it
probably would be, add heating chamber
for the steam to pass through just before
reaching the cylinder SO that more heat
ing surface could be employed.
Two such engines adapted to each other
would probably mean relatively small
gas engine and a steam engine large
enough to carry all the load in case the
gas engine refused to work for any reason,
and arranged in this way each would sup
plement the other so far as the proper dis
tribution of heat is concerned. The propo-
sition is novel one, and there is chance
to do some thinking over it. Possibly
some one may be so situated as to make it
easy to try the plan and let rs know the
esults.-American MachinisA

scoTLAND's NEW LITERARY LION.
The Rev. John Watson who Has Become
Famous as Ian Maclaren.

Within a comparatively short time three
Scotchmen-J. NJ. Barrie Ian Maclaren
and :. Il. Crockett-have achieved wide
fame as writer's of fiction Two of them
Maclaren and Crockett-are ministers, and
Crockett has done so well in the field of
fiction that he has abandoned his pastoral
duties. OF the trio Maclaren is the latest
to cause a sensation in the literary world
His volume of short stories called Beside
the Bonnie Brier Bush" has attracted a
great deal of attention on the other side of
the Atlantic and has been well received in
America. Various interesting phases of
Scotch life are exploited in the stories, and
the author seems to possess rare power
over the emotions of the average reader of
fiction.
Ian Maclaren is the pen name of the
Rev. John Maclaren Watson of the Eng
fish Presbyterian church, Liverpool. He
is tall, powerfully built man with a
clean cut, intelligent face and kind, SYM
pathetic eyes. He was born in Edinburgh,
whore his father held high position in
the excise. Young Maclaren's youth was
spent in Edinburgh, Stirling and Gomack,
and until very recently his brothers were
farmers near Blairgowrie, the place from

THE SAILOR WHO NEVER CAME BACK.
And the Lonely Old Lady who Waits For
the Sea to Give Up Its Dead.


A correspondent of The Six Towns
Times has found pathetic story in the
town of Windham. Some time between
the years 1912 and 1914 the privateer Dash
sailed away from Portland, one of the
sailors on board being Nat II. of Wind
ham No tidings were ever again received
from the craft, but one night after long
and weary waiting on the part of Mats
relatives his father woke the household
with piercing cry: "Nat has gonel Nat
has gone" When he was fairly awaken
ed he said he had had terrible dream, in
which he saw a ship going down in a
whirlpool, and on the deck, wildly visible
his son Nat, who, with others, seemed to
be imploring aid from heaven. Round
and round went the vessel, each circle
bearing them nearer the dreadful vortex
He watched the vision until the ship was
whirled out of sight, and then it was he
sent forth the heartrending cry: "Nat is
gone Nat is gonep
This writer also wildly recalls a visit
90 years ago to the lady to whom Nat was
be,rothed when he sailed away so many
years ago. Her knitting was on her lap
and her thin, wrinkled hands were idle
above it. Her sightless eyes, full of I'M
shed tears-for she was homesick and
weary and out of place-were turned TO-
ward the sunlight that threw its slanting
beams through the open west window,
where the soft air came drifting in, sweet
with the breath of roses. Il had been
reading to her, " he says, from the Reve-
lation Of st. John the Divine, and when 1
read The sea gave up the dead which were
in it, she laid her trembling hand on my
arm with tender touch. Wait bit, she
said in a voice trembling with emotion;
wait bit, and read it again, deary, be-
fore you go on. God grant l may see him
once more when the sea shall give up its
dead, and there shall be no more sea -

which he derived his scenery, dialect and
characters. His mothers name was Mac
laren, and Ian, the remaining part of his
nom de plume, is merely dialect version
of his own name John.
Although strongly drawn toward liter
allure for many years, Watson was distrust-
full of his talents and his first stories were
written mt the urgent request of friend
who was an editor, and who felt convinced
after hearing Watson talk about some of
the characters he had been acquainted with
during his career as back country par
son that the clergyman could write stories
that would be we'll worth reading. The
book was published less than year ago,
and in very short time the author found
himself made famous. He has a large
church ON his hands and is very busy
man. He is IA powerful preacher and is
fairly idolizcd by his large congregation.
In the literary partition of Scotland he
seems to have become possessed of as excel
lent field as Black, Barrie or Crockett.

POPULAR JOE JEFFERSON.
Success Has Done Good to This Gentleman
of the Old School.


Now and then you see Joseph jefferson
in New York at the Players club or about
town, and a delightful character that old
man is. That he is the most popular man
yet on the stage, as n man, aside from his
position as an actor is undoubted 1t may
be that it is his impersonation of that fine
old vaaabond Rip Van Wrinkle that makes
one admire him, or it may be the person
ality of the man. But at any rate, YOU
like him when you meet him. The friends
of Mr.. .Jefferson's manhood have for the
most part passed away Booth and Wal
lack and Barrett, the splendid McCul-
Tough. 1t may be that jefferson has con-
served his forces better than did the
others. He never had the drinking habits
of Booth and Mccullough, and physically
he was not so weak as Barrett and some
other men, so he has outlasted them
1t would seem after all that man
temperament has good deal to do with
his success, and Jefferson 5 is a happy one
Success has done him good, as it does not
some men. 1t is pleasant to see the old
actor in any social gathering. Every actor
is not gentleman, any more than every
gentleman is an actor. But Joseph .Jetfer-
son is a gentleman always, on or off the
stage. Not the Beau Brummel sort of
gentleman or the modern sort who wears
wide trousers, chews gum, sneers at his
mother and says things about the fit of his
fathers clothes.
1t is a relief to meet a gentleman of the
old school now and again. one of the sort
don't you know, that Tbackcray drew in
Colonel Esmond. Joseph Jefferson is
about as good type of the old school gen
tleman as you can find, and in these days,
when the new man and the new woman
are running things, it is well to go back
to old ideals.-New York Letter.

The Gaekwar of Baroda, India, possesses
a curved sword which is by far the most
valuable in the world. Its hilt and scab-
bard are incrusted with diamonds, rubies
and emeralds of the rarest kind and its
value is 1920, 900, or approaching a quar-
ter of n million pounds sterling Several
of the native Indian princes have swords of
about or even more than half the value of
that belonging to the ruler of Baroda, the
golden hilts being studded with most val
liable precious stones. The shah of Persia
owns a sword valued at upward of go, =
600, which was worn by him ON his first

set with diamonds and other precious
stones worth thousands of dollars. The
most valuable sword in England is that

and the value of the sword is $40, 600.
