been heavy burden upon them, the cost of cor
respondents in the field and of long telegraph des-

receives more than twenty dollars a week. How

machinery that grinds the grain saws the
lumber.
In some instances of the kind, by the adoption
of bettercontrived apparatus, the tides are made
to work the mill both going and coming-that is
to say, on the flow well during the ebb. But
of course these devices primitive and of small
account the chief interest attaching to them lying
in the fact that they represent the first successful
attempts to utilize lunar energy. Certainly with
such objectlessons in plain sight, it is extraordinary
that some of great inventors have not already

Dy 1JS aLLraCIlOn eXGrtS an immense
force Indeed, the amount of ener-
gy it employs, the effect of which
is represented by the tides of the
ocean, is SO vast as to be we'll
nigh incalculable. As the earth
revolves, the moon raises that part
of the ocean nearest it to a height
of about three feet, thus forming
a wave which reaches a fourth
of the way around the globe This
wave travels around the world
once in twenty-four hours.
Now means have already been
found by which some of this lunar
energy can be utilized. In fact,
the moon has been put to work
in small way on the coast of New
England, where a number of saw
mills and flour mills are operated
by its agency. Such mills are set
up in places where there is tidal
inlet which can be conveniently
damned, and a reservoir is pro-
vided, into which the water flows
of its own accord as the tide rises.

what is called a tidal bore. In other
words, the water is literally piled
up in the Bay of Fundy, thus caus-
ing the extraordinary rise and fall.
Apparently, there is no reason in
the world why some of this water,
lifted without a penny of cost,
should not be permitted to flow
into huge reservoirs constructed
for the purpose, every ton of the
fluid thus raised representing so
much potential energy, convertible
into power.
The amount of power allowed
to go to waste every twenty-four
hours in the Bay of Fundy is
almost inconceivable A small
fraction of it, such as might be
utilized by the adoption of expe-
dents entirely practicable and
not costly, relatively speaking,
would serve to run the machinery
of all the factories on the Atlantic
coast, to operate all the railroads,
to propel all the trolley-cars, to

If ever there a lazy orb in this universe it is
that moon of ours, which for ages past has done
nothing but float idly through the sky, not accom-
plishing single useful purpose by way of apology
for its existence. If we lost the satellite tomorrow
for good and all, it would make difference what
ever to ourselves, except that there would be no
more tides.

To accomplish this, it is necessary merely
to expand the idea, and to build adequate reservoirs

place. it has been suggested, especially suitable for
the purpose is to be found at the extreme northeast
corner of the United States, where narrow arm

night and the contents, about SIoo IN

this announcement it was brought out
that E. E. Miller, of the Hotel kleren,
and Sheriff Campbell, who was staying
in the hotel over night, had mistrusted

Mr. Miller called Campbell in time to
take the AGO passenger south he told
him that.he had heard report that
sounded like and might have been the

unarmed and there being no guns at the
note he went over to the depot to see

ed him a revolver and then went after

Camybell took the middle of the street

they returned to the postoflce, Rout
going to the rear of the building and the
sheriff and Miller trying the front door.
The lantern lit up the front of the Office
