In presenting for your consideration the
stock OF the INTERNATIONAL TIDAL
| POWER COMPANY, we call your atten-
ton to the fact of the rapid diminution
and consequently increasing cost OF coal
and other fuel supplies, the reduction Of
stream water powers, owing to the cut
| ting on Of forests, therefore emphasizing
the necessity Of turning to other sources
OF power, UNIVERSAL, CHEAP AND
EVERLASTING.
This corporation is the owner Of Basic
Letters Patent covering the methods em-
ployed in obtaining this power as follows;
United States, Great Britain, France,
Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Ar
gentine Rep, Cape Colony, Canada, Aus
tralia, Russia, New Zealand, Sweden, Nor
way.
These Patents Fully Corer the method
and means for producing continuous
power from the flow OF he ocean into and
out OF tidal basins consequent upon the
rise and fall Of the tide; and thereby form
a continuous and constant source of
power, which is never affected by drought
or any other climatic changes, which il
universal and everlasting and which can
be produced at a reasonable cost for con-
struction, and . minimum cost for up
keep, As there are practically no moving
parts to wear out.
II Is the purpose Of this parent company
to license and assist in promoting the
formation OF local companies in every
state in the union having a ses-coast OF

formed, also in practically every country
in the temperate zones both north and
south, which are also the most densely
populated where similar conditions pre-
vxil.
The general principle is simply the
application OF the Asyrian water bellows
"a. d. 3o0) or Trompe Of the Catalan
FORCES "a. ID. l5ss) to the rise and fall OF
the tides but necessarily embodying new
features OF construction and application.
Structures embodying strictly the princi-
pie OF the Trompe have been constructed
at Ainsworth, B. c., welisnd, Ont, Magog,
Quebec, Rockland, Mich, Norwich, Conn.,,
and are now in daily successful opera
ton, but these are used entirely in streams
OF running water, are dependent upon
waterfalls and are subject to all OF the
climatic changes and restrictions OF fresh
water power.
Radical changes haze been employed TO
adapt this principle to the rise and fall OF
the tide. as the flow of water into and out
OF tidal basins is reversed, at every ebb
and flow OF the tide. These changes are
therefore fundamental, and are fully COW

the power, the power thus created Is CON-

The coal supply is steadily being ex-
hausted and steadily growing higher in
price. Once burned it can never be re-
placed. New Engiand's coal bill last year
was s1oo, 100 600. But tidal power is per-
petual. II renews itself four times in
every twenty-four hours and will con.
tinue to do so until the end Of time.
Once a tidal power plant is built the ex-

nothing to give out or to wear out Just
let the water enter the sluiceway into the

is ISLAM READY TO YIELD?

1.-The phenomenal political and social
changes within recent months in the
Mohammedan Orient, especially in Tur-
key and Persia, have in many circles
aroused the hope that now Christianity
will reconquer the wide domain of
Christian lands in East and Northern
Africa taken from it more than a thou
sand years ago by the followers of the
prophet of Mecca, and that Islam, as d
religion and as a distinct and separate
type of culture and civilization, will
rapidly disintegrate before the forces OF
western and Christian IDEAS" says Cur
rent Literature for October.
Turkey, it seems, was granted relig-

constitution anew, and made freedom
of conscience the law Of the land. In
the very first session of parliament I'M
der the new sultan the question was
seriously discussed whether Islam was
still to be regarded as the official relig-
ion of the Turkish empire. The Young
Turks are extremely DESTROYS that they
should be considered by the rest of
Europe as thoroughly modern men, and
in their struggle with the Old Turks
they have need of the help of the
Christians and dare not offend them.
But, Notwithstanding all this. it re-
mains to be seen how the Mohamme-
dams will in practice take to religious
freedom. Legally a Moslem at the
present time can become a Christian
without being condemned to death on
this account, as was formerly the case,
and TIE work Of Christian missionaries
among the Mohammedans can now no
longer be suppressed legally.
"An impression prevails that in Islam
politics and religion are so intimately
interviewer that the political disinte-
grafton of the people of this faith,
which is transpiring before our eyes in
the Mediterranean lands. will bring
with it also a religious disruption. But
the actual history of Islam during the
nineteenth century does not warrant
any such conclusion"

PULLMAN RATES.

Certainly, the effort which has been
| undertaken by the state board of rail-
road commissioners for a reduction of
the charges on the Pullman cars in
this state will be a popular one with
the travelling public. 1t has been their
opinion for some time now that these
charges for the most part are excess
sive, and in many instances unfair
Apparently they are arranged accord
ing to no system at all but just put in
at random according to the will of the
Pullman people. This is made evident
by the fact that they are far from
being anything like uniform because
different charges are made for the
same and greater and less service in
various sections of the state. For in
stance, the same rate for both day and
night service applies from Topeka to
several cities which are many, many
miles from each other.
Surely it is no more than Justice TO
ask that these Pullman rates be made
uniform and there is also justice in
the plea that they be reduced This
is particularly true because of the fact
that the Oklahoma authorities have
been successful in negotiations with
the Pullman officials whereby the par
lor and sleeping car rates in that state
are to be reduced materially. Under
this agreement the maximum rate for
berths in Oklahoma in the future is to
be $3.50, and for the privilege of riding
in Pullman cars in the daytime the
rates are to be established on a basis
of one-half a cent a mile with reason
able minimums
About the maximum charge for a
Pullman berth in Kansas now is SO for
approximately the longest haul pos
sibIe in the state. Between points of
'esser distance there are plenty of So
charges for the same service, and for
the day service the rates are not fixed
on anything approaching a so-much
per mile basis.
1t is not unreasonable to assume that
practically the same Pullman rates
should apply in Kansas that prevail in
Oklahoma. Conditions of travel ana
distance are pretty much the same in
the two states And if Oklahoma is
entitled to lower Pullman rates so is
Kansas. Oklahoma secured her re-
duced rates without much trouble and
without any recourse to the courts.
Kansas ought to be able to do the
same thing and if the board of rail-
road commissioners are successful in
accomplishing it, they will be deserv-
ing of great credit.

GYPsIEs OF THE GASOLINE AGE

Arrayed in khaki, weather stained,
And full of grease and OIL
Their faces tanned with sun and wind,
Their hands begrimed with toll,
With honk and boot and siren shrek
They come from near and far,
And travel in cloud of smoke.
The gypsies of the car.
In Limousine and touring car
And lively runabout,
They laugh at indigestion, nerves,
insomnia, and govt,
NO dreams of dark and evil things
At night their slumbers mar,
They keep eternal holiday,
The gypsies of the car.
The wanderiust is In their blood,
They answer to the call
OF open road and azure skies,
Green fields and forests tall,
And leave a trail of gasoline
Around this earthly star
Those happy cousins to the tramp,
The gypsies Of the car.
