VAcARlEs OF THE TIDES.

Curious Currents in the Ocean and It's
Arms Throughout the World.
There are as many vargaries In the
waters as in the winds. Why for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
rents send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic and across the
Cape of Good Hope? There have been
many theories advanced to solve the
problem of their origin, but all have
proved fallacious, Other and equally
mysterious currents exist in well nigh
all parts of the world The tides are
so cratic in different parts of the
world that one hesitates to accept the
theory that the moon controls them in
all cases. It is on record that the sea
has run for weeks out of the Java sea
through the straignts Of Sunda and
thence back again for like period
without any perceptible rise or fall
during those times. Then there is the
equatorial current that flows into the
Caribbean sea, the ever-fowing cur
rent to the eastward around Cape
Horn, the cold stream flowing from the
icy regions of the North past New
foundland and Nova Scotia and along
the American coast to the extreme end
Of Florida, the continual current run
ming with a velocity of from four to
five knots an hour through the
straights of Gibraltar into the Med
iterranean sea, the swift currents run
ming across the rocks and shoals off
the end of Billion Island which appar-
emily starts from nowhere and ends
somewhere in the vicinity of the same
place. ana the current which, starting
half way up the China sea, runs from
two to three knots an hour to the
northeast and finally ends abruptly OFF
the north end of Luzon. Then we have
those tidal vagariGs known the world
over as bores. Residents on Severn
side are familiar with them, and those
that rum up in the Hooghly and IRA
waddy rivers from side to side in a
zig-zag shape until they reach theiS
limit often tearing ships from their
anchorage, originate nobody knows
where or why. The rush Of waters
in the Bay of Fundy is nothing but a
huge bore sweeping all before it up to
the head of the bay until the waters
have risen to the height of fifty or six
ty feet Off Southampton we have the
double tides while at Singaport it has
been observed for days at time that
there has been but the one rise and
fall in the twentyfour hours. The
tides may be, ana very often appear
as though they were, moon struck
but they certainly not controlled WITH
hard and fast rules by that or any
other body.

How Wild AnImnls sIeen.

The is nothing odd or peculiar
abou, he sleep of the lions and tigers.
In ct tiyity they show the same in
difference to danger that they mani
fest in the jungle. and by day or night
will slumber through an unusual tu-
multi, unmindful or unconscious of the
noise. Their sleep is commonly heavy
and peaceful.
Bears are also heavy sleepers, but
less disposed than lions and tigers to
slumber in the day time Grizzly bears
usually curl up under the rocks, but
sometimes they crawl up to the very
top of the rocks, and, with front paws
spread around the iron cage go to
sleep in what seems an uncomfortable
position; but bears never release their
muscular grasp of any object when
asleep.
The black bears will curl up among
the branches of a tree when they have
the opportunity and go TO sleep in
this peculiar position. The polar bears
show popularity in the selection of
their sleeping places. They choose one
particular corner of the cage for the
purpose, and invariably seek this out
for the nights rest.
The high-strung, nervous animals
are the most interesting to watch at
night. They usually belong to the
hunted tribes, whose lives are in con-
slant danger in the forest, and they
possess such a highly developed ner-
vous system that they really sleep
with one eye open. The slightest noise
will instantly awaken them.
The prairie wolves merely seem to
close their eyes for an instant and
then open them again to see if all is
quiet.

veyance as an electric car.
HIS life has ben spent among the
indians and 1squimaux who occupy
the northern parts Of Labrador andthe
country Immediately east Of Hudson
bay. Contrary to the general belief
arising from the reports OF missionary
societies and others. Mr.. Spencer says
that in many respects the different
tribes stil adhere to their old customs
and traditions.
Teh EsIuimeaux In particular are
according 10 Mr.. Spencer, a very jiill'
cult peopleto civilize. There has neyeT
been such q thing as a marriage cere--
mony among them, and the nearest
they have got to one today In the dis
tricts controlled for the company by
Mr.. Spencer is that the young man
generally tries to go to some post to
buy a blanket, and that is all the cere'
mOny there Is about It. They are not
30 numerous as formerly and 1t IS
thought that this falling off is prinei-
pally due to the fact that for the past
generation they have been taught 10
use English and American foods.
Formerly they never even cooked their
meat, and they seemed to derive more
benefit from it raw than in it's cooked
state.
Money has not yet come into use
among the people with whom Mr..
Spencer has business dealings. Both
Indians and EsQuimeaux bring their
furs into the companys posts and IN
return receive different kinds OF mer-
chandise. Counters are used which
are known as made beavers" each Of
which is worth about 60 cents Of our
money.
The chief animals now hunted by
these people are, FIRST, the fox, and
then the marten, beaver, otter, rein
deer and fisher. The silver fox is OF
course most eagerly sought yet not
withstandings its extreme value in civ
ilization, the finest specimens sold
at the posts yield only 30 made beay-
ers, or $18
By far the largest amount of the
credit received for furs goes for tobac-
co. When an Esquimaux or an Indian
gets 60 made beavers, it is safe to say
that he spends SO onitobacco The Els
quimaux, in particular, will sarrifice
almost anything else for it.
They are wonderfully friendly peo-
pie among themselves, and it is very
seldom, if ever, that qUarrels arise be-
tween the people of different districts.
The same thing cannot be said of the
Indians to the east. of Hudson bay.
Mr.. Spencer is authority for the
rather surprising. statement that there
has sheen no falling off in recent years
in the number. of furs sent out Of this
country.
Nearly all theawtiite men in this ter
ritory marry squaws, and young chill
dren. too, often grow up neglected.

addition of the following:

was the danger of the lighterage business
