ned to spend the winter While cruis-

day from the crows nest" a singular

OCEAN WAVES.
Curious Facts About the Irregularities

of the Tides.
To the ordinary landsmun tides along
the coast are most pnzzling. He has
been taught that the tides rise and
TAIL twice In the twenty-four hours
and that this depends IN some mystic
rious way upon the moon. But when
IL occurs that IN his travels he sees n

no tide at all be is at loss to ex-
plain the phenomenon.
10 be exact. there is only one ocean
I'D the world where the tides follow
the moon with absolute regularity
This Is the great Antarctic basin. and
the reason is that there aud there only
Is to be found a sweep Of water en-
tlreiy uninterrupted by land. The
enormous wave raised by the moons
attraction courses round the world
south Of Cape Horn and the Cape Of
Good Hope with absolutely nothing to
break 1t. In the northern hemisphere
great masses of land interrupt the tidal
waves and. combined with the shal.
ioWness OF inland seas. cause them TO
perform antics that seem most strange
The depth of water has much to do
with tidal irregularities. Out in the
open ocean. when the tide is abyssmal

speed OF the waves is amazing. Where
the depth decreases to five fathoms tho

A Puzxlino Problem For the Racial In
veatioator

A Puzxlino Problem For the Racial In
vestiaator.
The chief of the naturalization bu-
reau at Washington Is Of the opinion
that the average man In the street"
understands distinctly what II white"
man is. Apparently some persons can
master subject without studying 1t
at all. while others who have looked
into it deeply are not so dogmatically
certain as the average man In the
street."
For example, the encyclopedias tell
us that mankind was divided by Blu.
menbach into five races-namely. eau
casian. Monaghan. Ethiopian. Ameri-
can Qndiam and Malay. The words
Caucasian" and white" are used
anonymously. This classification was
first published III 1871 and must have
been known to our national legislators
when in 1902 they passed the first
naturalization law.
The Caucasian race includes Arabs,
who are certainly no whittier" than
the Turks. yet Turks, the official says.
cannot be naturalized because they are
not white"
We are also told by the naturaliza-
ton bureau that the Hindoo Is not
white" within the meaning of the
statute. But the encyclopedia says that
1t is a great error to separate the Hin
doc from the Caucasian race. The
Hindoo. it thinks. is much nearer the
white" race than the Arab.
To puzzle the racial investigator still
further. while everything is SO clear
to the average man In the street,.
we are told by the encyclopedias that
the original Caucasians-that Is. the
inhabitants of the Caucasus-are no
longer regarded as Caucasians. They
have been thrown out of the white"
camp and forced to 60 over to the
Mongol.
Nor Is the enigma any nearer solu-
tion when We are told by the natural
ization bureau that Asiatics cannot be
naturalized. but that Siberians can.
although Siberians may be anything
from Russians to Mongolians or Mon
