Then, in furious excitement, he shook
his clinched hand at Hawkstone.

He turned toward the gate. 1 put
myself before him. He had a white,
hunted look that frightened me.
"Oh, Gabriel, where are you going?"
cried, in an agony of apprehension.
You are in trouble-let me help you!"
I'm trouble?" he laughed, wildly.
Yes, in black seas Of 1t? Can rely

leaned involuntarily against an old tree
by the dials. A chilly, sullen light,
family gray, was in the sky. I forgot
Hawkstone's presence till he called my
name.

MYSTERY OF THE TIDES.
Queer Reasons That Were Assigned
For Their Ebb and Flow.

The tides, those mysterious pulsa-
tions Of the sea, have been the theme
of curious speculation ever since man
began to ask the reason Of what he
saw around him. Many sages and
clever brains in the ages Of the past
tried to explain away the periodical ebb
and flow of the ocean, and many plau-
sible if erroneous ideas were seized
upon and used to solve the problem,
and some Of the curious notions OF
these old world philosophers are worthy
of interest.
Aristotle, who tried to find logical
reason for everything in nature,
thought that tides were caused by the
sun, which moves and whistles the
winds about so that they fall with great
violence on the Atlantic, the only great
ocean known to the Greeks, which thus
swells and causes the tide. Plato ac-
counted for them as being caused by
an animal living in a cavern, which,
by means Of a huge orifice, created the
ebb and flow. The ancient Arabs be-
lieved that tides were caused by the
moon heating the waters and causing
them to swell, while others averred
that they were caused by the alternate
decomposition of the sea by the air
and of the air by the sea, thus causing
an ebb and flow. A writer as late as
the thirteenth century coolly remarks
that tides are caused by the efforts OF
the earth to breathe.
Sanity st. Jerome explained the
mystery by means Of caves, and Bede
stated that the ebb and flow were caus-
ed by an enormous serpent, who sWai-
lows and vomits the water. Another
old sage thought that they were caused
by the melting of the ice at the poles.
In Russia, dwellers by the seashore
popularity believe that the tides are
governed by the water kings daugh-
ter.
The Shetlanders used to believe that
periodical tides were caused by mon
ster living in the sea, or, to quote from
an old Shetland worthy, "a monstrous
sea serpent that took six hours to draw
in his breath and about six to let it out
again." The Chinese believe that su-
pernatural beings, weird and wonder
ful. cause the tides, while the Malays
aver that they are caused by the move
ments of a huge crab. Some Of these
old thinkers have been very near the
solution of the problem, while some OF
their crude notions are only fantastlc'

ORIGIN OF POTATO BUGS.
Where the Creatures Were First OBJ
served, and Where They Went.

The original potato-bug lived some
where in the highlands Of Central
America, says Lesslie's Weekly. From
him descended the great-grandfather
of the insect in questionable striped
black-and- creature which in
habits the coast of the Caribbean sea.
This insect never saw potato plant;
1t lived on the wild sand-bur. This
plant is distantly related to our pota-
to; but until comparatively lately (as
such terms are understood in discus
sions Of evolution) no "potato-bug has
been anything but a sand-bur bug.
When the Spaniards invaded Mexi-
co in 1919 they introduced horses, and
as the conquerors went north the
sand-bur beetle followed them. From
these migratory beetles descended the
present Colorado beetle, which was
first recognized as a new species in the
seventeenth or eighteenth century; but
even up to 1923 it still lived on the
wild sand-bur, and was not abundant
or troublesome. With the western
movement of civilization, however, the
sand-bur beetle and Irish potatoes
were brought in contact, and it was
not long before the beetle decided in
favor of the potato-stalks as against
the fare furnished by the sand-bur
He began to be a potato-bug, and so
rapidly did he thrive upon his new
nourishment that inside OF forty
years he was known and execrated
everywhere in the United States.

SACRED CATTLE IN TEXAS.
Great Hopes Entertained For Them by
Ranchmen.

Ranchmen.
The herd of Burmese sacred cattle
which tom" O'Connor, a prominent
stockman Of this region. imported d.
rect from India about two years ago,
has done 50 we'll that these cattle will
soon be found upon many OF the
ranches of southwest Texas, says the
Goliad correspondent of the New York
Tribune. They were brought to Texas
with the special idea that they could
be used to advantage in improving the
breeds of the native cattle. A. P.
Borden of Pierce, Tex, and other rep
resentative cattlemen Of the Gulf
coast region, made personal investi-
CATION Of the Burmese sacred cattle In
India before the experiment Of bring
ing them over here was tried.
A shipload Of the odd-looking AMI
mails was brought over. and when they
were unloaded at the ranch Of Mr.. o.
Connor, near here, they attracted the
widest attention among cattlemen.
They are still the objects of much GU
riosity, and cattlemen come long dis
tances to see them and to make per-
sonal inquiry as to the success Of the
experiment Mr.. O'Connor Is more
than satisfied with his efforts at rails
ing the Burmese sacred cattle. They
seem to be particularly we'll suited to
the Texas coast region and they have
thrived much better than the average
stock imported from other states or
even from the remote parts Of Texas.
1t is said to have been fully demon
strated that these cattle are immune
from the tick" fever. This fact Is Of
itself point sufficiently strong to rec
ommend the adoption Of the cattle up
on all of the ranches where the pecu-
liar malady Is encountered. The claim
Is made that not only are the native
Burmese cattle immune from this fe-
yer, but that they transmit the immu-
nifty to their offspring and that it Is
found in the half-breeds as we'll as the
thoroughbreds.
There Is hardness about the Bur-
mese sacred cattle that is said to fit
them peculiarly for range life. 1t is
believed that they will be able to with
stand the severest kind Of weather
without serious losses, and that they
are we'll fitted for the ranches Of the
more northern portions Of the state,
and even Of Oklahoma and Kansas.
The terrific heat of the summer and
the various pests of the Gulf coast re-
gion do not seem to affect them ad-
versely. Their skins are tough and
are apparently impervious to all insect
pests, such as ticks, mosquitoes and
flies.
AS q beef animal the claim is made
that the Burmese are the equal Of any
Of the breeds of cattle commonly found
upon the ranches. They fatten easily
and their flesh is particularly we'll fla
vored. When crossed with other
breeds the mixture is an improved an
imal both as to standard Of weight and
other important qualities. it Is claim
ed.
The Burmese cattle are docile and
domestic in nature Their chief char
acterjstic in the matter Of personal ap-
pearance is a large hump which Is sit
uated just above their shoulder blades
upon the front part of their backs.

Wisconsin University Educator De
niles Charge Of Former Secretary.
Madison, Wis, Dec. 15.-Leslie M.
Shaw, former Secretary of the Treas
ury, who recently told the alumni Of
Dickinson College that teachers of
sociology were either socialists or an
archists, was sharply raped by Pro-
lessor E. A. Ross, head of the depart
ment of sociology of Wisconsin UNI
yersity.
II know of no sociologist in any OF
the American universities who is So
cialist,' declared the badger educator.
Psychologists are enlightened Students
who stand for some particular policy
In the interest of the nation, such as
education, sanitation or forest conser-
walton. Socialists are those who be-
live that there should be no private
ownership of income-producing prop
erty.
mr. Shaw, who is a keen business
man, speaks from selfish and COM
mercial viewpoint. He SCOTS at soci-
ologists because they preach doc
trines which are detrimental to both
his pocketbook and private business
interests. They are annoying him. Mr..
Shaw seeks only business prosperity,
while the sociologist seeks the welfare
of the people and the nation. The
normal man sees farther than money"

President Would Reinstate the Least
Guilty Negro S-Iidero.
In submitting the report of the
Brownsville lex, shooting, in which
negro soldiers of the Twenty-Fifth
regiment were accused of shooting
up the town two years ago, made by
Herbert j. Browne and Captain w. j.
Baldwin, the president in a message to
the senate tells of extenuating circum-
stances surrounding the soldiers who
had knowledge of the identity of the
shooters but would not reveal their
names. He then says
II believe we can afford to reinstate
any of these men who now truthfully
tell what has happened, give all the
aid they can to fix the responsibility
upon those who are really guilty, and
show that they themselves had no gull
ty knowledge beforehand and were in
no way implicated in the affair, save
by having knowledge of it afterward
and failing and refusing to divulge it.
II recommend that law be passed
allowing the secretary of war, within
fixed period of time, say a year. to
reinstate any of these soldiers whom
he, after a careful examination, finds
to have been innocent and whom he
finds to have done all in his power to
help bring TO justice the guilty.
Meanwhile the investigation will be
continued. The results have made it
obvious that only by carrying on the
investigation as the war department
has actually carried it on is there the
slightest chance of bringing the of

the innocent, for there were doubtless
hardly any innocent. but the less gull
