The Bsy Of Fund -. r,dc..

Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told OF the immense tides In the Bay of
Fundy. The scientific facts In regard
to them have recently been published
by the Canadian Geological Survey.
The bay Is about 1l5 miles long. and
gradually narrows. and becomes shnl.
lower, as It penetrates the land. The
upper part divides into two main
branches. and several small side bays
exist. The highest tides ut the mouth
OF the main hay reach eighteen feet.
Going up the bay they increase In
height. At Digby Neck they attain 30
feet, at 1t. John ~ feet, at PetitcOdiac
River 40 feet. and mt Noel River In
CObequid Bay % feet, the maximum.
Some branch bays are left empty ut
ebb tide.

Birdie Strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. II. Thayer. an artist. believes
he has discovered that the light color Of
the under parts of birds ana small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting Of
the American Ornithologlsts' Union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly Of the color Of the ground, like a
potato. Is very conspicuous when placed
few inches above the soil and Viewed
from a little distance. Hut when the
under side Ia painted white. and gradu.
ally shaded into the color Of the upper
part. the object disappears by blending
with the ground; the wilderness beneath
countencts the effect Of the shadow Of
the body.
