WHAT Do YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE TIDES ?
SOME INFORMATION REGARDING
TIDES THAT WILL BE OF IN
TEREST TO MANY.

For the past ten years, especially,
l have been more than surprised at
the absolute ignorance of very intel
ligence people as to tides.
Within the past month | have
been asked why the tides changes

Another very intelligent person
could not be convinced but what it
was caused by the wind.
Recently a friend had party
motoring on the beach and one of the
party asked him who attended to
rolling the beach so smoothly every
day
that the party was in earnest as to
the inquiry and was not trying to
loss him." remarked that the good
Man above attended to it and explain

sands.
Persons living along the seashore
are familiar with semi-daIly rising
and falling of the waters, which, al
though generally amounting to only
few feet, often suffices to cover
and bare by turns wide stretches OF
seashore. Without tide tables or any

And ivory animals a score

And ivory animals score
As big as Dutchy's department store;
And Captain Dinkey could own a state
And have a golden dish or plate
a mile across and heaped up high
With watermelons to the sky;
And he and Mufles could trave; far
In stately auto or Pullman car
And see the country East and West
And answer every child's request,
And visit all, both rich. and poor,
And then cross DER the sea and tour
The countries old and change perhaps
Some little kingdoms on the maps
And buy one out complete with gold
And fill it full as II could hold
With boys and girls and Jolly play
And make It sunshine every dav;
And Domino be Prince or King
And he and Mufl4s rule the thing.
These are some Of The dreams he had
When he learned about the missing lad:
And this was why the Prince that night
Moved his Gypsy camp clear out Of sight
Because he knew that thought works best
With comfort, quiet, sleep, and rest.
THE PRINCE and Muffles had sat all day
Down by brook some yards away
From the Gypsy wagons and Dinkey's FIRE
Each dressed in Siamese attire,
And overhead from tree to tree
An oriental canopy
And incense burning close at hand
In little pot down on the sand
And nothing moving; not sound;
Except from squirrels and birds around;
And croaking cav from big black crow
Who watched the cat and seemed to know
That the Prince and Muf1eS had that day
Some great big problem under way.
CONTINUED next Sunday)

And must get busy right away"
He then gave orders the camp to pack
And at six o'clock the whip went crack
And DInkey's load moved on ahead
AS he with Muffies the procession led.
THE PRINCE just hid that camp that night
In deep ravine clear out of sight
Far away from crowds and news and wires
And where the smoke from Dinkeys fires
Could not be seen or noise be heard;
And where they wouldn't hear word
Of the daily news or the village talk;
And where Prince Domino could walk
Among the trees and shrubs and flowers
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-04-24

And think and plan his work for hours;
Where he and Alufles all alone
Could sit on broken tree or stone;
Where nothing would their minds modest
While they gave wireless thought test;
For the missing lad was millionaire
With dozen millions more to spare
And the Prince knew we'll if he found the lad
And made the wealthy father glad
That his reward split up in four
Would buy for Dutchy department store,
And a motor car and an ocean boat,
The SWEETEST vessel now ahoat
And Jappy. too, could buy Japan
And an Oriental caravan

THE PRINCE called off the fun that day
And sent the Russian bear away.
Muf1es had made him climb tree
And sit on a stool and drink some tea
And hold the trainer on his paw,
AS cute child as you ever saw.
The others laughed at the little Jap
When he was tossed like fellows cap
And caught again like rubber bali
And never once let slip or fall
And Dutchy, too, had fun to spare
When he was chased by that Russian bear
And lodged about from place to place
Till he tired out bruin in the race.
The Prince said bruin had enough
When he finished playing blind-man s-buff,
And with eyes bound tight had passed hat
And found the place where each one sat
And got some pennies and some gold,
AS much as the trainers hands would hold.
THE man and daughter and the bear
Went off at once to the country fair
And the little girls as they said good-by
Had a show of tears in every eye,
For Domino in his princely way
Said, well miss your fun; We go to-day;
The camp will move at six tonight
And disappear clear out of sight
For day or two in valleys deep
Till Muffies has some hours to sleep
And I have time and ne has rest
To solve problem; about a guest;
A little boy who went to stay
With a grandmamma some miles away
And lost himself in an hour or so
And who can't be found either high or low.
