UNIQUE ACTION OF THE TIDE
Reversible Waterfall at st. John, New
Brunswick. Canada.

We have reversible vests, revers-
iblc windmills. and all sorts of rever-
sibles nowadays. but st. John, in New
Brunswick. Canada, has the only re-
versible waterfall in the world. In
the morning there Is a fall downstream
of Is feet. but in the afternoon the
water u n upstream and falls over
the other way. This phenomenon Is
caused by the strength of the wonder
meet and overcome the water from a
river $50 miles long, which empties
into the harbor of st. John through a
narrow gorge less than 500 feet wide.
There Is a suspension bridge over the
gorge where this daily marvel occurs,
and hundreds OF people go to see IL.
At half-tide the water is smooth over
the dam and vessels go up and down
in safety. The tides of the bay OF
Fundy are the heaviest In the world.
II you are ever In New Brunswick
and it's time for the tide to come in
you want to make for the bluffs IL you
are not fond of the water.
Vessels come into st. John harbor
and when the tide goes out the water
runs clear out from under them and
they settle down upon the gravel bot
tom of the slips. Wagons are then
driven alongside and cargo is trans
ferrcd direct. II is an odd spectacle
To see schooners sitting up high and
