in this way the probable causes are best
found out We eau assert that several
natural causes will do il.
II the water he heaped up at ono end
aud then let go IL will produce an oscilla-
tion.
A slight earthquake movement at ths
bed of the lake would produce it. A wind
blowing, then suddenly stopping will
produce oscillation, and water responds 10
barometic pressure just as mercury does.
Other movments of shorter periods of
from TO 10 minutes exist. They are
called vibrations. some Of them are
caused by steamers, others by wind. VII
brations ara clearly distinct from waves.
Our great lakes nave seicbes and Mr..
Dennison of Toronto has done valuable
service in studying them. His theory is
that the'water responds TO barofnetic pres
sure and offers very good facts to prove
IL.
We see some curious things in river
tides. The ocenn tides are due 20 the in
1uence Of the moon and sea- The depth
and width of rivers modify the manner
of the tides getting up the river. On the
coast ebb and flow correspond TO rise and
fall, in rivers { hey do not
At any point there is mean line above
which the current Is up stream and below
which IL is down stream. The current
runs long after the tide is high and the
level has begun to grow lower. This Is
more strongly emphasized OH the ebb, Tor
rivers have n good deal of water 20 dis
charge into the ocean. The shape OF tho
wave changes as IL goes up tho river and
the tide rises quicker than 1t falls.
The down current ofte nheads OF the
sea or incoming tide this forms sores
which arc the great flood waves formed
when the sea bursts in over tho opposing
stream. These are found in the Bay Of
Fundy, Rivers Severn, Seine and isen-
Tang -kiang. A wall Of water from . to
- feet high comes up the river carrying
all before it. In one instance u Is said
that by given point there passed IN one
minute la millions of tons Of water.
They are formed somewhat as follows:
Take point at the mouth ot the river
one. say, 10 miles up and one - miles
farther up; also take given line for n
level at, say, y o'clock. The water AT the
mouth is one foot below level, at the 30
mile point.It il IL feet below, 20 miles
above it is feet below. So from both
directions it Is pouring In on the 90
mile point. That II, the tide Is still going
out way up the river and Mt the sea 10 Is
rapidly coming in. Hour after hour the
water rises mt the 50-mile point till at l2
o'clock a. Is 10 feet above AT the level, at
the 5-milr point > above at the mouth

WAVES In LAKES
AND RIVERS.
Prof. Darwin's Lecture In Sayles
Memorial Hall.
An In cresting Presentation Of Littls
Understood Subject.

Prof George II. Darwin, L. II. S.,
Plumian professor Of astronomy in Cam
bridge University, Eng, delivered an ad-
terested audience ip Sayles hall, his SUBJ
ject being "Some Curious Waves in Lakes
and Rivers. His subject is one the
knowledge of which is limited 10 a very
few persons in the world, and that in so
short a time as a lecture hour he should
be able to explain it as plainly as he did
speaks well for his ability as lecturer.
He displayed several charts illustrating
the principles be explained and had
number of pictures thrown on the curtain
that were very interesting. He said in
substance -..It-was- known ome-300
years ago that.the waters of Lake Geneva
are accustomed TO Iise and fall few
inches at periods of an hour or two, but
not until within few years has any one
been able TO find out the probable causes.
These movements are called seiches.
After careful Investigations into the time
Of the periods and the distaE CO of rise
and fall probable hypothesis was found.
It was that sciches are rocking of the
whole water OF the lake. there being n
point or line near the middle with almost
no movement, the level changing on the
shores. OF these oscilIatory motions there
are two kinds. longitudinal seiches in
which the water rises ana falls on the
sides and transverse seiches in which
the rising and falling Is mt the ends of the
lake. The place where the water remains
at its level Is called a node.
L. tn.,, dol ffttH ai.h
whose period is about 73 minutes. the
bnodal seich, in which the water is high
or low at the same time on both shores
whose period Is ABOUT 30 minutes and
the multinodal longitudinal seich hav
ing many nodes. The period OF the
transverse seiches is only about 10 min
utes. Great complexity arises from the
different widths and depths of the
water. So investigations have been made
from proper models and the results thus
obtained coincide almost with actual con-
ditiops in the lake.

Our readers will remember that
something over two years ago a
man was arrested, charged with
horse stealing, and at his prelim-
mary examination before the JUS
tice of the peace at Condor the
case was dismissed. A terrible
howl was raised by several parties
who were prejudiced against the
complaining witness, because the
costs were not taxed up to him by
the J. p The following, clipped
from the Oregonian, will be of in
terest to them: Judge Eakin de-
cided Saturday that a committing
magistrate has no authority to inn
pose costs upon Q complaining
witness in a state case; that the
only remedy a party has who
claims to have been wronged, is a
civil action against the private
prosecutor.

A reader asks: "Nhat is the
trocha, SO frequently referred to in
the dispatches from Cuba?' 1t is
a military defense or barrier, inclu-
ding barbed wire fence and ditch,
extending entirely across the island
of Cuba, its purpose being to pre-
vent the insurgents passing from
one province into another, or from
massing their force for a given
movement. The average width Of
the island is less than 70 miles; in
some places it is much narrower
than this. 1t is therefore possible
for Weyler with his 200, 900 soldiers
in Cuba, to string line Of men en-
tirely across the island, and have
them SO near to each other that
theoretically it would be impossi-
BILE for any considerable number Of
insurgents to cross the line.
