the Annapolis Valley last September
by making the journey eastward from
Yarmouth one day and returning on the
next. The train was RAISING Bridgetown,
which is at the head Of navigation of the
Annapolis River. ON their return journey
when one of the women remarked to her
companions:

On the northern side Of the Bay Of Fundy
the tide is responsible for two phenomena
which get good notices in the guide books.

John and the bore in the Petitcodiac River.

through a gorge. Stand on the bridge
at the turn Of the tide and you will see
the water running both ways at once.
There is a decided fall from the river to
the harbor and a decided fall from the
harbor TO the river. The effect is very
picturesque and very wonderful. Here
is what happens:
The bed of the river is seventeen feet
higher than the bed OF the harbor. At low
tide the bed of the river is twelve feet higher
han the Lowell Of the harbor. Thus we
get a fair sized waterfall.
At high tide. however. the level Of the
water in the harbor is five feet above tn
level of the river. So twice every twenty
four hours the rapids are reversed
The P~etitcodiac River is an arm OF CHG
necto Channel. About thirty miles from
its mouth il takes a decided bend. Atrhe
bend is the city of MonotOn. Moncton
used to be known as the Bend. but hat was
before it got ambitious.
At present Monoton has three institutions,
the railroad shops which the Government
is building for its Lntercolonial Railroad, a
steam roller which wanders amiably about
the shaded streets apparently with no other
purpose han to scare timid horses. and the
bore. OF these three the bore has the ad-
vantage Of Immortality.

tides each. But the solar tides are 50 much
lower than the lunar and 50 largely merged
IN them hat they escape notice.
Twice a month. however. the moon and
the sun pull together. resulting in the un-
usually high spring tides. When the pull

The rise OF the tide in the Bay Of Fundy
varies from 1: feet at n low neap tide to
90 feet or more at a high spring tide. The
variation is far from regular. az local con-
ditiOns enter into the problem.
On the Nova Scotia side Of he Bay the tide

only one break in this rocky barrier.
This is Digby Gut. 700 yards wide. which
leads into the beautiful Annapolis Basin.
Through this narrow opening the tide
PUSHES with great force TO spread itself
over the basin.
The Annapolis River. which IL left TO
itself would be only a streamlet. becomes
n~avigable at high tide for fourteen miles.
The basin itself is caused by the continual
submergenoe OF the lower reaches Of the
river bed.

comprehension Of the pictures shown
herewith. So We must pass out Digby
Gut and follow the tide further up the
bay to the headwaters, where it's full effect
is shown.
The water sweeps with mighty force
through Minas Channel into the Basin Of
Minas, the same Basin OF Minas which
Evangeline could see from her front porch
and in which. for all we know to the con-
trary, she padded barefoot at high tide.
From Minas Basin the tide reaches long
