CHESAPEAKE BAY TIDES.
Various Conditions That Affect the
Range at Different Points
Along the Coast.

A successful attempt to fix perma-
hent tidal plane for the Chesapeake bay
has been recently made by the United
States coast and geodetic survey. Dur
ing the last fiscal year nearly 40 sta
tons were occupied, at 10 of which we
are in possession of simultaneous tidal
observations, extending over one COM
plete lunation.
The average tide for the entire bay is
about one foot; possibly less. For Old
Point Comfort we have two and one.
half feet; for the mouth of the Potomac,
one foot; for Washington, three feet;
for Richmond, three feet; Elk river, at
the head of the bay, two feet, and An
napolis, less than one foot. The wind
effect, however, is sometimes more than
the total tide. For example, at Balti-
more the wind effect may amount to
three feet, while the tide proper, unin-
fiuenced by local disturbances, is only
one-third as much. This diminution in
the height of the tides as we come
northYard from the entrance, and the
subsequent increase as we continue on
in the same direction, is one of the Pc
culiar features of the tidal phenomena
of the bay.
The small range at Annapolis is due
partly to the change in the width of the
bay, but principally to the fact that
there is an interference at this point
between the incoming and outgoing
tidal waves. When the crest of the
south-bound movement reaches the
mouth of the Severn river it meets the
north-bound wave from the capes, and
partial naturalization of the vertical
motion of the water takes place. An.
other interesting point in connection
with the subject is that the rate of
progress of the tidal wave from the
mouth of the Potomac to Washington
is somewhat less than that of an or.
binary steamer, so that vessel requir-
ing the greatest depth possible would
be able to enjoy the condition of high
water during its entire passage up the
river. The fact was first brought out by
Mr.. C. A. Schott, many years ago, when
the Great Eastern, of transatlantic
cable fame, availed itself of this cir
and came to anchor within
a few miles of the capitol.-National
Geographic Magazine.

PLACES THAT ARE UNIQUE.
Localities That Boast of DistiA0s
lions Matched Nowhere Else
In the World.

Doubtless the most unique spot in
Europe is the. little village of Altenberg,
where on its borders four countries
meet. 1t is ruled by no monarch, has no
soldiers, no police and no taxes. Its in
habitants speak curious jargon of
French and German combined, and
spend their days in farming the land or
working in the valuable calamine
mines of which it boasts.
The little town of Stanley, in the Falk-
land islands, possesses the most uniuae
school service ever known. Two trav-
cling schoolmasters are provided by
government who visit the different fam
lilies where there are children and give
instruction. The length of their visit
depends on the astuteness of the chill
dren, and they may spend days or weeks
as the case may be at one house alone.
A town boasting of a railway station
which cost $4,000 to erect and duly
appointed stationmaster, and yet hav-
ing no train service. is unique beyond
dispute. Dundee, in New Jersey, is in
this predicament, the inhabitants hav-
ing actually no trains, although their
fine station is available for any amount
Of traffic, and the reason given for this
strange fact is that so long the trains
run through the inhabitants ougss t.
be satisfied.
There is place in the middle of the
Pacific ocean well known to mariners
where there is never any Christmas day.
This is owing to its being in the one hum
dred and eightieth degree of longitude
and directly opposite to Greenwich, and,
therefore, IL hours ahead of Greenwich
time. In a journey round the globe the
other IL hours would have to be marked
out of the navigator's calendar, and if
this point crossing the antipodes is
touched on Christmas eve then there
can be no Christmas day.
In one of the West Indies group there
is colony of some 500 whites and
blacks where there are neither towns,
villages nor fresh water supplies. In
fact, there is such scarcity of every
thing that the government has to send
food and employment to the inhabitants
to keep them from starving. Salt fish
and sweet potatoes are the staple foods
of the Anguillas, and the only water OBJ
tainable is brackish and tainted by the
sea.-London Chronicle.

European physicians have become
much interested in the methods en-
ployed by DR.. Finsen, Danish Prac-
titioner, in treating skin diseases
of various kinds. It is generally
known that sunlight is fatal to
the growth Of certain kinds of malig-
aant bacteria, but the new treatment
which it's discoverer calls "photother-
apy" makes use of the chemical rays Of
light while the red or heat rays are
partially excluded. This is probably
the first systematic attempt to utilize
the chemical rays of light in thera-
peutics. In summer sunlight is en-
ployed, at other times the light of cleo
trio arc lamps Of from so to 80 amperes.
If light in its normal condition could
effect cure in patient, run in the
open air each day would be sufficient,

tious depths beneath the surface, ex-
periments were made with dogs and
cats to see if the sifted rays would pen
citrate their hides. Sealed glass tubes
filed with muriate of silver were in
serted under the skin and some of the
animals were placed in the dark, others
In the chemical beams. When the tubes
we're removed the solution had turned
black in the latter cases and remained
unaltered in the former. Experiment
has proved that the rays pass much
more quickly through bloodless tissue.
Dr.. Finsen first attracted attention
by his success in treating smallpox. He
has cured hundreds Of cases of lupus,
or tuberculosis of the skin, and bald
ness. 1t is recognized fact that owing

How Long, We Have to Live.

There is very simple rule for finding
the average number of years which per-
sons of any great age may expect to
live. If the present age be deducted
from 80, two-thirds of the remainder
is the answer required. The result il
not absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, a man aged
20 might. by this rule, expect to live
40 years longer, which is just what the
latest acturial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at near.
~ q years, while the tables give it al
over Is years. At 60 the above rule all
lows just over 13 years, and the tables
show little less.-Detroit Free Press.

of his family physician. whose fault
it is that he is in his present condi.
ton. Potts disease is not, as many
suppose, caused by fractured spine.
However, slight fall may bring on
the ailment, which is of tuberculous
nature, and develops into a consump-
ton of the spine. It may be checked
long before the stage when deformity
puts in its appearance. Diagnosis is
easy. Before any change in form il
manifest the spine becomes somewhat
rigid and severe pains are felt in tho
abdomen. Because of these pains q
careless physician will often treat .
young child for worms. Bending tho
body forward produces, and backward
! relieves, pain. II able to walk, the pa
tient steps carefully. Instead of stoop-
ing, he crouches to pick up an object.
There is often much pain in the back.
where. in time. a knob appears.
DR.. A. M. Phelps, professor of ortho-
pedic surgery in New York post-grad-
uate medical school, is said to be fore.
most in treatment of Potts disease at
this time. The cure is almost purely
mechanical. Except cod liver oil and
other nourishment to repair wasting
tissues, no medicine is given. Tho
hunchback is treated, as is a consump-
tive, to plenty of good food and fresh
air, but in the case of the latter it is
impossible to apply any mechanism to
the lungs to compel them to remain
still. If they could be held rigid, the
disease would not spread, but remain
confined to the small area of inflamma.
ton first infected. The constant agi-
tation of the tissues by breathing
spreads the germs. Until few years
ago spinal was considered as incurable
as pulmonary consumption, the differ
ence being that the former was always
checked at certain point. The germs
once located. with every movement Of
the patient they spread. They always
fasten to the interior or softer portion
of the spine. Soon this is eaten away
and collapse follows, the column bulg.
ing outward. Thus hump is formed.
Finally the curve allows the ribs to
settle on the hip bones, which act as
support. The germs can no longer
spread. New bone tissue is formed, in.
hammation ceases, and the patient 10
well except for his deformity.
This process is at the present time
anticipated by using a jacket of plas-
ter. In the early stages of the dis.
ease the patient is suspended until
his toes just touch the ground. This
adds to his height. He is now wrapped
in bandages upon which wet plaster
of paris has been rubbed. A snug
fitting corset is thus made, and after
the plaster becomes hard the patient
is taken down, for the support is per.
feet. Thus q hump may be avoided.
A new aluminium corset il also used
which is light in weight and allows
the patient to go in bathing. In cases
where the disease has already run its
course, the new bone matter il some.

Windsor Hotel Burned.

Friday the beautiful Windsor Hotel
on Fifth Avenue, New York, was totally
destroyed by fire, and fifteen persons
lost their lives in the flames. More
than forty persons were more or less
seriously injured in trying to escape
from the burning building
" hen the fire was discovered, on the
second floor of the hotel, by bell boy,
who ran shrieking through the CORR
dols a parade was passing down Fifth
Avenue, and hundreds of men and wo-
men were viewing it from the windows
of the hotel The hurrying fire engines,
the stampeding crowds, the agoniz ng
cries and the shrieks of the women AS
they rushed to the windows after all
means of escape had been cut off, the
roaring of the flames as they poured
forth from every part of the bnilding,
the heroic work of an army of firemen,
as they labored in the binding smoke o
save life and property, made scene of
horror which no pen can describe. At
one time it looked as if millions of dol.
lars worth of contiguous property
would be devoured by the flames, but,
happily, the fire was confined to the
hotel.
At the first changing of the fire alarm
bells Miss Helen Gould, whose house
was next door to the hotel, summoned
doctors and nurses to her home and in
structed the police to bring all of the
injured there. Her house was convert
ed into hospital, and as many as could
be accommodated received the best of
medical attention in moment or so
after they were injured.
AS far as can be learned no New Eng
land man was injured at the fire.
