would become sufficiently dear to make
such a scheme worth considering in a
practical way.
Wave motor and tide power schemes
have been almost endless in number.
The former have In few instances
been used for light pumping work at
seaside places, but such pumping out
fits have been very far from demon
stratlng that the wave motor could
ever be seriously considered as prime
mover where large powers were de-
mandcd. In fact, the wave motor Is
little better than Il toy. AS to power
from the tides, there is little to be said
except that much money has been
wasted in vain endcavors to turn it to
practical account The tide power
scheme probably always will be allur-
ing and also disappointing. The dis
appointment comes from the fact that
very few people seem to take the trou-
BILE to figure out how much water and
how considerable a fall are required to
give any useful amount of power. a
horsepower for a day of ten hours, for
example, would require something like
100 tons of water falling from height
of 100 feet. so that 500 horsepower
factory. say. would need 10000 tons or
water at 100 foot head. On the basis
of SO cubic feet of water to tie ton
there would thus be over 100000 Gu
bic feet of water, and this would make
Il fair sized pond, say about 1000 feet
long. 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
There is in these few figures something
that may help to open the eyes of the
tide power plan inventor and of those
who are in the habit of putting money
into such things

The minstrel poets have come down
from the hill of Montmartre to the
Rue de Paris, where may be found
the Theatre DIES Auteurs Girls, the
Grand Guignol the Maison du Rire
and the Roulette. At these theaters
short pieces are played. and political
songs are sung that make fun of the
government. whatever it may be, for
clever minds are always to be found
Oh the opposing side. One act plays
by modern authors are given and also
some reproductions of old plays from
the repertoire Of the Theatre de la
Foire. These performances are all bet
