evolving scenes for his novels. After
lunch it was his practice to walk
along the boulevards, which form
a beautiful green cincture around
the old Picardy town. Then he
would make for his club and read
the newspapers and study the scien-
tifc reviews, from which he de-
rived great aid in the composition
of his books.

Five Stages of the Sword.

next the era of legend, when stupen-
dous and impossible feats of arms

religion, when the piety of the cru
saders was proved by their ability
to slash the equally bloodthirsty
Saracens. Succeeding this period
sprang the noble season of skillful
fence as the sword, no longer a
weapon of pure attack, became. a
mixed arm of offense and defense
combined. Finally we see its fall.

The TIDES.
How the Attraction of the Moon Acts
Upon the Water.

SFSs+ 49, 1850
The tides have been studied with
great care and labor during three
centuries and are not yet complete
" understood BY astronomers, says
Edgar Lucien Larkn of the Lowe
observatory.
Any point on earth moves from
west to east around to the same To-
cation in space in a period Of twen-
ty-four hours. The moon goes
around the earth IN a period of
27.32166 days. Let the moon and
a star be on the same straight line
at exact noon. Then, of course,
they would cross the meridian to-
gether. In twenty-four hours the
star will cross it again, but you will
have to wait fifN-two minutes
longer for the moon to cross. it
having moved eastward through a
space requiring that length of time
to traverse.
The moon attracts by the law of
gravitation and, being dead plan
ct, has no effect on attractive force.
And this attraction heaps up water
directly under it in the ocean. But
there is another heap on the exact
opposite side of the earth away
from the moon.
This is because the moon attracts
the whole earth away from the wa
ter, leaving it behind in a heap or
pile OF elevation. The tide day is
therefore twenty-four hours and
ifty-two minutes long. High tides
will be at both sides Of the earth at
the same time and. of course. low
tides at distances of 90 degree )
each way, or at points one-fourth
the circumference of the earth from
the high heaps.
Tides are caused by differences in
the intensity of the moons attrae-
ton on water on the side Of the
earth nearest to it and fartheSt
away and also between these attrac-
tons and the attraction exerted on
the center Of the earth. The sun
also causes tides. These combine
with the lunar and call into use the
most intricate mathematics to com
pute heights and times of high and
low.

about the late DR.. Theodore L.
Cuyler which illustrates how son

tant being in the world. In DIR.
Cuyler's case one could not Justly

Besides being a successful pastor
he was the author of many religious
books which were read here and

tributor to certain magazines.
When he was in England he and
his mother correspondent regularly
and at great length, 50 the tradition
goes. One day a letter came in
which he described his presentation
to Queen Victoria. Mrs. Cuyler
read it with eagerness, hardly able
to wait till she had finished before

HUNTING A LION.
When the Brute Fights Either He or
the Hunter Dies.

When the, Brute Fights Either He or
the Hunter Dies.
Nothing causes the East African
colonist more genuine concern than
that his guest should not have been
provided with lion. The Hon.
Winston Spencer Churchill says
that failure to produce a lion
preys on the colonists mind until
it becomes regular obsession. he
feels that some deep reproacb is
laid upon his own hospitality and
the reputation of his adopted coun-
try. In 1fMy African Journey Mr..
Churchill tells something Of the
pursuit of this noble game:
"This is the way in which they
hunt lions: First find the lion,
lured to kill, driven from reed
bed or kicked up incontinently By
the way. Once viewed, he must
never be lost sight of for moment
Mounted on ponies Of more or less
approved fidelity, three or four dar-
ing BritonS or Somalis gallop after
him across rocks, holes, tussocks,
through high grass, thorn scrub, un-
dergrowth. turning him, shepherd
ing him, heading him this way and
that until he is brought to bay.
'FFor his part the lion is no seeker
of quarrels. He is often described
in accents of contempt. His object
throughout is to save his skin. If,
being unarmed, you meet six or sew
en- unexpectedly, all you need do,
according to my information, is to
speak to them sternly, and they will
sink away, while you throw a few
stones at them to hurry them up.
All the highest authorities recon-
mend this.
EFBut when pursued from place to
place. chased hitler and thither BY
wheeling horsemen, the lion be-
comes imbittered. First he begins
to growl and roar at his enemies in
order to terrify them and make
them leave him in peace. Then he
darts little short charges at them.
Finally, when every attempt At
peaceful persuasion has failed. he
pulls up abruptly and offers battle.
Once he has done this, he will run
no more. He means to fight aud to
fight to the death.
@And when a lion, maddened with
the agony Of bullet wound, dis
tressed by long and hard pursuit, or,
most of all, a i;oness in defense Of
her cubs, is definitely committed to
battle death is the only possible
conclusion. Broken limbs, broken
jaws, a body raked from end to end,
lungs pierced through and through
none of these counts. Unjust be
death, instant and utter, for the
lion or down goes the man, mauled
by septic claws and fehd teeth,
crushed and crunched and poisoned
afterward to make doubly sure"
