In such u matter. as the ebb and flow

America.
BAY OF FUNDY.
TO most of our readers the rise and
fall or the 'ebb and flow of the tides
is not understood. The highest rise
and fall of the tide on the face of the
globe, at present. is in the Bay OF
f'undy. This bay. as all students of
geography know. is an inlet of the At
lantic ocean. separating Nova Scotia
from New Brunswick Its length is
less than 200 miles and it's width is
from 80 to so miles. Its location is
responsible for these very high tides
al feet. AS the water is driven, by the
peculiar formation of the shore. into a
great pocket and the rush of the tide
UP this bay is something tremendous.
Just think OF body of water, say 40
miles wide and 200 miles long. rising
and falling II feet twice in each space
of twenty-five hours, The oncoming
tide rushes''fn to this bay so rapidly
that pigs feeding on shrimp, muscles
and shell fish are frequently swept
away by the flood. From extreme low
to extreme high tide is only about 6A
hours. For instance. you look out On
the Bay of Fundy at 6 o'clock n. m.
and 1t Is low water. At Is minutes past
IL (noon) the same day you look again
and the, water has risen II feet in the
81 hours. 1t falls in about the same
time. making two rises and two falls
of Il feet in each twenty-five hours
That is water power with a vengeance
That beats Niagara Falls. Let our
readers think of this and then read our

Range of Tides.

The Cornacopia for August has the
following article of great interest:
THE Chesapeake Bay tides are very
easy on commerce and shipping and
do not interfere with business, pleasure.
happiness or comfort. In the first place
the lay of the shore is such that the
waters are not pocketed,' so to speak.
Wherever the shores of our continent
bend TO the eastward there we find
higher tides. Charleston and Savan-
nah have higher tides than we do. and
are in constant dread and danger of
tidal waves or dangerously high tides.
The shore for IS to 100 miles south of
Hatteras experience higher tides,
higher winds and heavier storms than
we do in the sheltering arms of the
mild and pacific Chesapeake Della
ware Bay has higher tides and heavier
storms than the Chesapeake New
York harbor has much higher tides
than Hampton Roads. Buzzard and
Narragansett Bays. on the shores of
Rhode Island and Massachusetts. have
higher tides, and so with Boston and
all the ports of Maine. The rise and
fall of the tide inside the entrance to
the Chesapeake is only about 80 inches
(2l& feeD. The reason of this very low
tide is this: Cape Hatteras lies to the
south OF the Chesapeake and extends
out TO sea i'll such a way as to drive
defect. the mighty flood of waters off
from the coast and away from the
mouth OF the Chesapeake. a glance at
any geography and map will show this
If Hatteras was but swept away we
should have a 4 to feet tide in Hamp-
ton Roads. That stormy care re-
ceives and beats off the ocean currents
coming up so strongly from the south
east. and we escape with tide whose
rise and fall Is only about 2la feet
Then. again. as the waters of the
Chesapeake Bay system cover some
$500 to 5000 square miles of surface,
and as the entrance to the Chesapeake
is only about y miles in width, one
can see that during the limited period
in which the water flows in Ciood tide)
only 61a hours, only enough water can
get in between the Capes to raise the
waters of the Chesapeake Say system
only about 21a feet. Therefore, we
escape with the minimum tide-the
least ebb and flow OF any seaport in
the United States. This fact alone is
worth to this seaport several millions
of dollars. The numerous great yes
sells always loading at our wharves are
not interfered with by the rise and fall
of the tide as they would be If the rise
and fall was feet instead of pa. This

heroes of the sixties have answered to
the final buglc call since the encamp-
ment OF 1899 sets US to thinking Just
a little. Thirty-tive years ago the
Grand Army was over million
strong. But time tells and the grand
old government support OF the sixties
is rapidly becoming weaker and weak
er and soon the grand old silver greys
blue coats and brass buttons will be
with US in memory. sweet mem
DRY, for as the years roll around so
swiftly we begin to realize that these
same men who are still with Us are
the men who helped to preserve the
nation.
Wars have come and gone since
Gettysburg was fought but they were
only reminders as it were Of what real
war was. Fighting was different in
the sixties than now days and where
one falls in battle now thousands were
killed then. over four years OF march
ing and messing side by side made
many comrade, and as many as were
able and could afford the journey
were in Chicago last week greeting

respect for the boys OF the sixties
that that was the grande.t OF all ar

declining years.
