UTILIZING POWER OF TIDES.
Difficulties In Way Of Project viii Al,
Be Overcome.

The difficulties of concentrating It'd.
al power and making 1t available are
great and so far 1t has been used only
on small scale and in a primitive
way. but the near future will probably
see great electric generating plants
established at favorable localities
where the tides run high and there are
natural storage basins. Some months
ago a plan was worked out for utiliz-
ing the ebb and flow of the River
Seine Assuming that tidal embank-
ments were needed for guiding the
channel through the estuary 1t was
proposed that these be connected to
the shore on either side so as to form
two large reservoirs. each of which
should be divided into a high water
the discharge from one to the
other to drive turbines. The available
tide is about 10 feet. Each reservoir
would have an area of about $500
acres, and it was estimated that about
6,OO0-horsepower would be given of
during the six hours of the rising tide.
The cost of division dams, turbines
and other works was placed at $780,
600. From this the annual cost of each
horsepower was computed at $500, in
GLIDING land rent and interest at 10
per cent, but this would rise to more
than $4,000 If the channel walls were
to form part Of the expense.

well the ground between may eventu.
ally become saturated and fail to act
as a filter. AS already stated, the
presence of an impervious stratum be-
tween the wall and the cesspool is a
good protection, but where such a
stratum does not exist the cesspool
should be made water-tight. The crude
methods of sewage disposal still quite
commonly in vogue in the country are
a continual menace to the water sup.
ply.
One of our illustrations shows a
well which is imperfectly guarded
against pollution and with very slo

the well in this case is good. 1t stands
at a considerably higher level than
the barnyard which is below and at
the left, and is separated from the
well by a ledge of rock, while the do
nestle sources of pollution lie to the

"The DEVILS Bible"

The volume which is called the
DEVILS Bible" is in the library of
the royal palace of Sweden. 1t IS a
huge copy OF the Scriptures, written
on 300 prepared asses skins. One re-
port says that it took 500 years TO
complete this copy, which is so large
that 1t has table by itself Another
tradition says that it was completed
in a single night. due to the assistance
OF his Satanic majesty who when the
work was finished, gave the monk a
portrait of himself for frontispiecs.
The illuminated likeness OF the devil
still adorns the front page of the work.
The volume was carried off by the
Swedes In the Thirty Years War from
a convent in Prague.

About Divorces.

A report Of the Census Bureau COW
ering twenty years from 1887 to 1906,
shows that there is one divorce to ev-
cry twelve marriages in the United
States. During that period there were
l2,S32,O44 marriages and 32S,716 di-
vorces. Divorces are increasing. Utah
and Connecticut are the only States
showing a decrease. This report
should bring some degree of self-com-
placent congratulation to people of
south Carlina. There are cases now
and then where married people can
not or will not live together. Now
and then there is complete separa-
tion apparently by mutual agreement
and the woman does not lose caste
when she Is not to blame. Occasional
ly the court is called on to annul a
marriage made by minors, the insane
or fools. But that is all better than a
wide open divorce court in which any
one with money enough to pay the eX-
pense can get a divorce Let South
Carolinians stick to the no-divorce
system. 1t suits us and harmonizes
