A PACIFIC TIDAL WAVE.
Unaccompanied by Storm it Swept the |
San Diego Coast Without Warming.


San Diego Coast Without Warming.
When the sun went down behind Point
Iona last evening it closed one of the
most remarkable days, thermally speak
ing, in the history of this coast, but it
was not until today that people realized
that there had been anything more unu-
sual than high tide accompanied by the
attendant surf, says San Diego dispatch
of February / to the San Francisco Call.
The fact is that there was no storm to
record. Old ocean simply raised up with
force that was irresistible and every
thing movable that stood in the way was
removed or washed out of existence; that
was all.
The day was ushered in by an unusu-
ally low tide. About 10 o'clock the sea
turned to come back, and for three hours
it rose higher inland until all the sand
beaches and even the large rocks above
mean high water were completely sub.
merged. At l o'clock the surf reached
it's height. A high road has just been fin
ished across Ballast point by the Califor-
MIA Construction company, leading to the
government Notifications. This barred
the way like wall. The sea arose and
swept across the peninsula for the first
time in forty-fve years, and the road,
which cost the builders $500, was no
lifted the Coronado pier into the air, and
threw it back into the pillows a wreck.
At Rosario, down the coast thirty miles,
a small wharf was washed away.
At about the same hour the tide
reached Ensenada, Lower California, and
a few minutes later larger wave than
usual rolled in toward the shore and lift
ing the wharf on its crest carried it
bodily out to sea, with three fat cars,
wharf piles, donkey engine, piledriver and
a new surfboat valued at $1,000 all the
property of the Lower California Devel-
opment company, which estimates it's loss
at $4,000. Five hundred people stood on
the shore and watched the big wharf,
which had withstood the storms of eight
years. carried away as though it had been

of the dispute that has been raging be,
tween the local dean and chapter, and
the learned societies, backed by great
critics and artists. as to the proper way
in which to repair this beautiful old
work, without doing destructive damage.
But an English dean, within his limits,
is almost as powerful as is an English
duke, and much more autocratic. So
down goes the worldknown west front.
One English duke there is who is deserv-
ing we'll of his country and who is SO far
unlike the dean of Peterborough that he
is h1,ildino LIN instead of DESTROYING.

How Snakes Climb Trees.

A snake moves by means of the ribs
and the scales on the abdomen, to which
each rib is attached by set of short
muscles. These scales take hold of the
surface over which the serpent may be
passing, and in that manner aid the
creature to glide, often very rapidly,
around the trunks of trees and along
the smaller branches Some specie climb
trees with wonderful agility, gliding up
the straight trunks with much ease, as
if they were moving along the level
