admirers. Hale was twenty-one at the

his Hale the patriotic fervor of the

A CLEVER BURGLAR.
How He Fooled Man Who Thought

"B. F. Hutchinson. used TO say no
burglar ever could get into his house

station detective the other day, accord

It remained for Chief Simon O'Donnell
to put one over the famous trader.
"You know, Mr.. Hutchinson was IA

fact that burglars never had got into
his house and often boosted of the
fact to his intimates. One day while he

a number of other friends the COM

had been committed the night before.
"T'd like to see anybody get into my

"1'll bet you dinner for this

and you will not know of his visit till

'AIr. Hutchinson accepted the wager.
and it was agreed that he was to let
the chief have latchkey, so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman Mr. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
of value in the1arlor where 1t could
be found readily The chief said the
robbery would be committed within
the following week.
"Three days later Mr. Hutchinson
awoke in the morning and discovered
that both sheets of his bed, which had

was introduced not long ago by Repre-

of Representative SABBATH had been re-
ferred to the committee on ways and

The admiral had two years of very
hard campaigning in China and the

Rear Admiral George W. Melville
and Rear Admiral Bowman H. Mccall

Melville, who recently urged. the pur-

which escaped from the Lena delta.

Recognizing the general public inter-

Of the twin tubes from Hoboken to
New York on Feb. %, the officials of
the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
company decided to invite President
Roosevelt to press the electric button
which should furnish the impulse for
the starting of the first trains, and
they planned by way of further signal
izing the event dramatic meeting be-
tween the governors of New York and
New Jersey under the bed of the no
bic Hudson and midway between the
opposite shores. Thus the honor of Off
cially declaring the tunnel open fell to
these two executives, Charles E.
Hughes. representing the Empire State
and Franklin Fort. representing New
Jersey.
The so called McAdoo tunnels pierce
the earth beneath the North river to
the south of the tunnels which are be-
ing bored by the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The part of the McAdoo route
now complete consists of a twin tube
tunnel extending from Hoboken to
Sixth avenue and Nineteenth street,
New York, distance of nearly three
miles. This section of the tunnel sys-
TEN is generally spoken of as the Nor
ton street or uptown tubes. The down
town tubes run from Jersey City to
the great terminal station at Cortland
and Fulton streets, Manhattan bor-
ough. The south or downtown tubes
will be completed some time during
the coming summer. On the New Jer-
sey side between the terminal at Ho-
boken and, that at Jersey City trans
verse tunnel has been constructed. 1t
taps all the trunk and local transpor-
tation lines on the Jersey shore and
serves as a feeder to the underriver
tubes. Passengers on any of the roads
whose stations on the Jersey shore are
in proximity to the transverse tunnel
may reach New York by the under
ground route now in readiness. AT
present they can only go to uptown
New York by the McAdoo system, but
six months or so hence they will be
able to travel under the river to the
downtown section also. Besides the

FREAK OF THE TIDES.
At the Mouth of ST. John River, Where
Water Flows Up Hill.

At the Mouth of ST. John River, Where
Water Flows Up Hill.
Speaking of freaks of the tide, there
Is nothing in this world to equal the
phenomenon at the mouth of the st.
John river, where water flows up hill
and down twice daily. These revers.
ing falls are in class by themselves
in the worlds natural curiosities.
The rise of the tide in the bay of
Fundy, which ranges up to sixty feet,
averages at st. John harbor twenty
eight or thirty feet.
At the mouth of the st. John river
Y the great body of water is forced
through a deep and narrow gorge. On
the one side of this gorge the harbor
opens; above it the st. John river.
nearly 500 miles long. stretches away
into the province of Quebec.
When the tide in the bay of Fundy
is on the flow. the waters rise with
such rapidity that the level in the har-
Dor becomes in less than an hour con-
siderably higher than the level in the
river.
The water is forced through tho
gorge at such a rate that 1t literally
falls up into the river, the height OF
this fall reaching at times fourteen
feet So great is the area of the river,
so great is the amount OF water rising
in the harhor and so narrow is the
gorge that it would take hours longer
than the interval of any tide to bring
the river level up to that of the harbor
at high water. -
AS consequence. after the tide has
turned and is on the ebb in the barber.
the level is still so much higher than
the riveSthat the tide in the river con-
tinues to rise for two or three hours,
the water still falling upward.
The same force works in the dow.
After the water in the harbor has
fallen until the level in the harbor and
In the river are the same the fall
downward begins. During the next
few hours the harbor recedes until the
drop from the river to the harbor is as
much as sixteen or seventeen feet at
the very lowest tide. Once more the
tide turns inward and comes up quick
~, but over three hours elapsee before
it is sufficiently high to counteract the
downward flow from the river.
At half tide there is period of
something less than an hour when
navigation is impossible. = Boston
