Tidal power has met with little fla vor. on account of it's inconvenience and cost It is directly available only two short periods daily, and the ordi- nary working head is so smail-not more than six feet that great expense is necessary to provide storage ponds of suitable capacity. An engineering writer points out that aefew places of fer conditions that may make this power profitable. The most conspicu- Ous example is the Bay of Fundy, where the tides run normally 40 feet high, and fill a natural reservoir of 400 square miles through channel less than three miles wide The dam ming of this channel should yield more than 200 100000 horse power daily The utilization of this power may be accomplished at some future time, but the engineering feat will be vastly greater than anything yet at tempted.

Harvey Parker Does a Few Stunts
 With Mnnroe.
 Worcester, Mass, Sept 16.-Harvey Parker of Worcester defeated Jack Munroe, the miner pugilist, in a catch as-catch-can wrestling match last night in the presence of 1,2oO persons The conditions of the nratch were that Mmroe. should throw Parker twice in an hour, but Parker won the first fall with a combination hammerlock and reverse bar in % minutes, and in the second bout Parker had Munroe's shoulders within half inch of the mat when time was called
 Munroe had the advantage of fifty pounds in weight. But what Parker lacked in avoirdupois he made up in science. He went after Munroe from the start and kept the miner on the defensive from the call of time Mum roe's great strength enabled him to break many dangerous holds, but grad uaMy Parker wore hiAs down In the second bout Parker simply toyed with his huge opponent and tossed him around at will. The big fellow was jeerad when he left the ring. Tn his dressing room Munroe said Parker was the toughest game he had ever en- countered. He left on the midnight train for New York.

A Bad Accident Occurred at the Read

Readvflle, Mass, Sept 16.-The rac- ing in the second day of the hreeders' meeting at the Readville track was de void of special interest until the very last heat, when an unfortunate acci- dent occurred to Nriver George Starr The four horses in the 2-1S pace were just rounding the first turn when an obtruding rail in the fence caught the sulky in which Starr was driving Double Z The sulky was capsized and Starr thrown heavily to the ground He remained unconscious for twenty minutes, and although subse- quent examination showed that no bones were broken. it is possible that there may be internal injuries.
 It was announced during the after noon that w Fl. Parks of Glen Balls, N. r., had refused an offer of $50, ,Ooo from E. E. Smathers for the geld1ng In the racing the talent had couple of upsets.

zIEeLsR's POLAR EXPEDITION.
They Encountered Unusual Arctic Con

New York, Sept. 26-Ths steamer
America. which is bearing the Ziegler
polar expedition northward, encoun-
tered unusual Arctic conditions during
the month OF July. according to a le.-
ter just received by William Ziegler
from Anthony Ffala. who is in COM
mand. The letter was written in the
Barentz sea on July 20, and was
brought south by q sealer, which the
America met. Immense quantities of
ice were encountered; there was a
strange absence Of animal life. and
many dead birds were seen on the
| cakes Of floating ice. II is thought that
there must have been some unusual.
Insurance of nature. The letter is as
follows:
I'VE left Archangel on the Fourth o.;
July. but were delayed by a storm in
the White sea, reaching Vardo. Nor.
way, July 9. At Vardo we took on adj
ditional coal and water. leaving there
the evening Of the 10th. Since then
we have been skirting the edge of the
ice pack vainly looking for a lead. We
made a direct course from Vardo
striking the ice at 80: 80 longitude
east, n north latitude. and then went
into the ice to 1888 north latitude
but 1t was so cold that we returned
and went eastward and southwark
along the edge of the pack looking for
lead until we were near the shore
in plain sight of Nova Zembla last
night in latitude 72:45 north. Not
finding a lead of any character worth
going into the ice, we are returning
northward and westward. where we
intend to push into the ice between
the 46th and 47th parallels OF east Ion
gitude as Capt. Coffin thinks it will be
the best place to try to force our way.
Instead OF being a particularly good
year as to ice conditions, the indica-
tions thus far seem to prove other
wise. and the strange silence. the lack
of life that broods over this waste OF
ice is peculiar. We have. indeed.
struck a peculiar season. Numbers OF
dead birds strew the cakes of ice and
not one polar hear has been sighte!
and only stray seal once In a great
while. 1t either indicates immense
fields of ice north or lots OF open wa
ter; let us hope for the latter Every
thing aboard has been pleasant and
harmonious. Men are in splendid con-
dition and happy, although impatient
to get north. The horses and dogs
are in particularly good form and we
are particularly thankful for the coal
we took on at Vardo, for we shall need
every ounce of it, as we look at the
long, unbroken mass of ice"
