FIERCE AND DEADLY TIDES
Phenomenal Rise and Fall of the Sea Along the Breton Coast
 or France. II. r.. r-

A Philadelphia girl was recently overtaken and drowned by the incom- ing tide on the west coast of France A transplanted Breton said of this fa- tality: "
 Gan you, who see your own tides crawl in at tie rate of ten feet or so an hour, imagine tides racing like wild white horses up the fiat sands at the rate of half mile minute?
 "The extraordinary fatness of our Breton coasts gives us these phenom- enal tides The sea does not rise and fall. It appears and disappears. You have vast and fiat plain of sand. At a set hour the sea rushes in, white, wild, submerging this vast plain. At a set hour an unseen hand sucks the water back-30, 40. 50 miles-and noth- ing is visible but the plain white sand again.
 Woe unto such as walk on this deso- late plain when the tide begins to rise for they must drown! Nothing can save them"

Origin of "Lunch, i"

A lunch" etymologically, Is just a lump; in the sixteenth century 8 lunch of bacon" meant merely slice or hunk of it. So Burns speaks of bread and cheese dealt about in lunches," and Scott records that little Benjie was ramming a huge luncheon of pie-crust into his mouth" While in modern times lunch" is an abrevia- tion from luncheon" the latter was originally an elongation of lunch. |" A philologist shows how the old noon shenk," noon-drink, came to mean noon-eating, and to appear as nun sheon;" and the development thereaft- CT of luncheon" from lunch" was very natural.

And then there is a third grand feature in the special en- gagement of Sam Collins, who has been seen here number of times in musical comedy and who has of late been playing prominent roles with Joe Weber's burlesque companies. Mir Collins Is appearing in monologue. but his ability as an entertainer is such as to make it unnecessary for him to use helpers. The Nelson Con- iques, the Four Seasons. Fleurette De Mar and Phil 0tt. Niblo and Bor- deaux and the electrograph will con- plete the bill. Prices are 10, 20 and 90 cents; matinees 10 and 20 cents, with the night scale prevailing at the Christmas day matinee.

VENEZUELA TO THE FORE.

edge of just how things stand. Prior
to the return of Mr.. Calhoun, the Off
Gals knew not what to believe, for
all that they could get from parties
to business deals with Venezuela were
elimination on one side and recrimi-
nation on the other. The returned
commissioner sifted evidence and OBJ
tanned the kernel of truth.
Mr.. Calhoun will leave for Chicago
III day or two. He probably knows
his Venezuelan mission is regarded
as triumph in administration cir
cles, but he modestly keeps this
knowledge to himself.
He discussed Venezuelan matters
with Secretary Root and during the
discussion he outlined all the facts
which he had learned while in Presi-
dent Castro's country and gave the
secretary more than an inkling Of
what some of his suggestions would
he in his report when it is reduced to
writing. Mr. Calhoun will prepare his
report in Chicago and will forward it
from there to Washington.
Gets Facts From Castro.
1t is known that the commissioner
succeeded in getting information
from Castro which no American min
lister ever succeeded in securing from
the willy Venezuelan president. 1t is
known also that Mr.. Calhoun ap-
preached Castro in manner entirely
different from that in which he had
ever before been approached With a
western directness he told Venezue-
las chief executive that nothing
could. be done to ease the constant
friction between the two govern
ments until full and accurate knowl-
edge was obtained of all things con-
rected with troubles past and pres
ent. Mr.. Calhoun invited the conf
dence of President Castro and he re-
ceived it.
The New York and the Bermudez
asphalt question was probed as it has
never been probed before. Mr. Cal
houn's legal acumen enabled him to get
knowledge of all the niceties of the
case. Venezuelan evasion for once was
absent.
The matter Of the i'll feeling which
Venezuelan citizens manifest toward
the United States was gone into deep.
| ly. Mr.. Calhoun learned the reasons
for the dislike of Americans and for
the suspicion with which they are re.
garded. In his report he will make
! known what he considers the only
/ way by which the i'll feeling may be
removed.

lines to cables. Half dozen boat
anchors and grapnel were fastened
to as many ropes, and the crowd
pranced gayly about the burning ell,
looking for chance to make them fast.
Captain Fri found party with axes
endeavoring to cut hole through the
side of the saloon in order to get out
the pool table After some endeavor
he persuaded them to desist and they
came around to the rear and, taking
turns, ran in close to the shed and
chopped at it until the fire drove them
away. At last they made hole close
to where it Joined the main building,
large enough to attach the grapnel.
Then with "Yo heave no" every one
took hold of the rope and pulled. OF
course the grapnel pulled out with only
board or two, but they tried again,
and, this time getting it around q
beam, pulled large portion of the
shed to 4l,n Ground.
