cAUsGoaH latFHE TIDES.

The Thess-es Rat They Are Due to |
Attra, S,n IS Nnw Opposed.
Many Theories MS to the cause Of yari-
ous phenonera have been demolished by
tho advance of science. Ii is only within
the past few years, for example, that the
belief in the efficacy of the gulf stream to
moderate the climate of northwestern
Europe has been practically supplanted
bv an explanation that seems more ade
ouate. Just now the time honored the
ory of the cause Of tides is icing assault
ed. Ii remains to be seen whether tn
evidence in favor Of the new theory IS 50
well grounded as TO relegate the oid De
lief that the mutual attraction Of th'
earth, moon and sun has the peculiar ei
feet upon the sea which results IN the
tidal wave.
The opponents of the theory that tides
are caused by attraction call attention to
the work of the Challenger expedition III
1872. One of the main objects Of this eX-
nedition was to solve the problem Of
ocean currents. The scientific world ac-
ceDted its demonstration that the circula

Mother. saw the opponents of the tida
theory, is it the cause of the other circu
lation of the ocean known as the tides.
Mr.. Alexander Brownie, who sets fortl
the new theory Of the tides in The Bulle
tin of the American Geographical Society
gives many reasons for discrediting tn
: | mart assigned to the moon as tide INT
or" Among them is the fact that tn
!. tide is instantaneous over many degree
y of longitude. while the moon takes hour

4 theorists rely upon gravitation to unloc
n. the tidal mystery.
I. They saw, as Professor G. Fl. Darwi

form of equilibrium can never be attain

A Christian Thenter Suggested.
Bv Christian theater l mean an insti-
tuition distinctively and of set purpose or
ganizqd to represent only those plays
which would be regarded as Christian in
the best sense OF the wOrd-not necessa-
rily what would be called religious
plays. but plays as clean and sweet and
wholesome as anything to be found in
the clean. sweet and wholesome lives of
the best Christian men and women in the
world. And by Christian theatPr ! would
mean also a theater owned and controlled
entirely by Christian people. as much SO
rs any church organization. In addition
to all that | would mean also by Chris
tian theater an institution in which all
the actors and actresses were decidedly
md positively Christian men and women.
The whole question of the theater has
r..ised in my mind the possibility of a
school for Christian actors and for Chris
tian piAywrights and Christian managers
i'm other words, a distinctivey Christian
theateF
| cannot answer exhaustively my OWL
question. Is a Christian theater possible
At the same time do not see anything
impossible in men and women being train
ed, in the future some time, to exercis
their histrionic gifts for the purpose o
making life sweeter, happier, stronge
and distinctly Christian.-Rev. Charlie
n. Sheldon in Independent.

of the remarkable career Of
man, who has been housed for haIf -
his life with peculiar affection which
rendered him helpless for many years.
During his confinement his voice failed,
and for eight years he was unable to
utter a sound. About a year ago his
speech was suddenly restored, and an
almost coincident return OF strength
enabled him to leave his bed and walk
about. His case has puzzled physi-
clans and specialists from the large
cities, who have come here to examine
him. There has been no change in the
