Great Tide Waves.

Those who see the rise and fall of
the tides in our Atlantic harbOrs sell
dom think of the wonderful career of
the moon raised ocean waves which
cause the tidal fuX and refluX. Such
pillows not only cross the sea, but flow
complicated movements are set going.
Thus once in every twelve hours the
moon raises Il tide billOw in the south
ern Indian ocean. When this billow
passes the Cape of Good Hope at noon
its successor is already born, and by
the time the first billow has reached
the Azores islands at midnight the sec
Ond is rounding the cape and a third
has come into existence in the southern
ocean. BY o'clock in the morning fol-
lowing its passage of the cape the tide
billOw reaches the English channel, and
there the shallow water delays 1t so
much that it does not arrive at the
strait of Dover until 10 a. m. Here the
narrowing channel causes the tide to
rise very high and almost puts an end
to the wave. In the meantime another
branch of the billOw runs around the
western side of the British islands,
rounds the north point of Scotland and
moves slowly down the eastern coast
of England until it finally flows up the
Thames and laps the wharfs of Lon
dOn.-LondOn Graphic.

Property Lost to Church. - RS
There is still another wear, namely,
until Dec. IL, 1907, within which the
state may, if it so chooses, transfer the
religious property to these public wor-
ship associations, but meantime the
title to the property has been lost to
the church and the state has, from to-
all of the. church property. Until the
state takes over the religious property
the churches may be used free, but the
act says the state must dispose of all
the property within five years-that is
to say, by Dec. IL, 1910. The older
clergy are promised, life pensions not
to exceed $500 francs; the rest are pen
stoned from four to eight years.
The act of disestablishment not only
sewers all connection between church
and state, but prevents, or seeks to pre-.
vent, the future rise Of a privately en-.
lowed church as a rival to the state,
by limiting the amount of endowment
which any church may accumulate to
three times its revenue, where the an.
nual revenue exceeds 5000 francs
Buildings and funds devoted to char.
liable, apart from religious, purposes
are handed over to the charitable in
situations to be directed by the state
State Saves Millions.
Under the act of disestablishment the
state will save annually about $780,.
900 in salaries hitherto paid to the
Catholic clergy out of the public
budget. All of the great cathedrals
including Notre Dame Of Paris; the
S., 100000 Basilica of the Sacred Heart
at Montmartre, and the beautiful and
| costly property at, Lourdes, as we'll as
the ancient historic piles at Rouen and
elsewhere, will pass into the hands of
the government. III. - .-e... !.
The act of disestablishment is the
final step in. the complete abrogation
Of the concordat signed by the first Ma.
po!eon and Pope Plus VII, on July Is
1901, which re-established the church
as an institution of the state after it's
complete overthrow under the reign OF
terror. Napoleon afterward modified
the. concordat by his organic articles
which reduced the church almost to the

WANTS A TARIFF INQUIRY
Campbell Asks Commission to Investi
gate Protection and Trusts.


Journal Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Just what re-
lation the tariff has to trusts, monopo-
lies and industrial conditions is the OBJ
ject Of resolution providing for an
exhaustive inquiry, introduced by
Representative Campbell Of Kansas.
The resolution is entitled a resolu-
tion providing for the appointment Of
commission to inquire into the rela-
ton of the tariff to trusts and monop-
olies and the industrial and laboring
interests of the nation and to recon-
mend such changes, if any, in the ex-
listing schedules as will better pro-
mote the country IS welfare.
It provides that five members of the
house shall be appointed by the speak
er, three members Of the senate and
one man to be appointed by the pres
ident shall constitute the commission.
A salary of $4,000 is provided for the
commissioner to be appointed by the
president, and another $4,000 is al
lowed to Ehe commission for stenog-
rapher and clerk.
Discussing the resolution, Mr., Camp
bell said: The object is to get at
the business, and economic reasons, if
any exist, for a change in our tariff
schedules. The country s welfare rath-
er than political expediency, should
decide so important question as the
one involved. !,

ALDERMEN WILL CAUCUS
MEMBERS OF CoUN-
GIL MEET TONIGHT TO PRE-
PARE SLATE OF APPONTEES,

z A caucus Of the sixteen republican
aldermen who will have seats in the
new council will be held this evening
for the purpose Of agreeing on the re-
publican candidates for the various
appointments within the gift of the
council.
Following the old precedent this eau
Gus should not be held until Jan. z, the
day when the old council will dissolve,
and the new one organize. AS Alder
man Platt B. Walker and others will
not be present at that time, but are
anxious to take hand in shaping
events, it was decided a fortnight ago
to get together tonight.
As far as can be learned there Is
little likelihood of change in the list
of department chiefs. The one in most
danger is W H. Roberts, gas inspector,
who may be retired in favor Of A. D.
Needs, who was displaced by Mr.. Rob
erts some years ago.
The caucus will not interfere in the
appointment of street commissioners in
the first and ninth wards, in which both
of the aldermen are democrats, but will
probably get up slate in the other
wards. It is understood that George
Baxter will be retired in the third and
John Olund in the eleventh, but the
majority Of the others will hold their
jobs.
