OCEAN WAVES.
Curious Facts About the Irregularities
of the Tides.

Curious Facts About the Irregularities
Of the Tides.
To the ordinary landsman tides along
the coast are most puzZling. He has
been taught that the tides rise and
fall twice in the twenty-four hours
and that this depends in some mystic
rious way upon the moon But when
it occurs that in his travels he sees a
spot along the shore where there is
no tide at all he Is at u loss to ex-
plain the phenomenon.
To be exact. there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow
the moon with absolute regularity.
This is the great Antarctic basin. and
the reason Is that there and there only
Is to be found a sweep of water en-
tirely 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 it. In the northern hemisphere
great masses of land interrupt the tidal
waves and. combined with the shall
lowness 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
that is, about 5000 fathoms-the
speed Of the w is amazing. Where
the depth decreases to five fathoms the
tide travels at a comparatively slow
rate. In England, for example, which
Is surrounded by narrow, land broken
seas, the result is that the Britons get
some Of the most terrible and danger
GUS tidal races and currents.
The most formidable is the whirl.
pool between the island Of Jura and
Scarba, on the west coast of Scot
land. This is known as the "Caldron
Of the Spotted Seas" Here is a race
running at a speed to be matched only
by a mountain torrent. The force OF
a heavy tidal current pushing up @
wide mouthed river causes what is
termed a 'bore." The most striking
example Of this tidal feature is seer
on the Amazon, a moving wall Of wa
ter thirty feet high and reaching from
bank to bank rushing inland from the
ocean.-New York Tribune.

CHARCOAL AS A PURIFIER.

Mo- enough attention is paid to the
purifying effects of charcoal. 1t should
be a household remedy. and will be
found equally useful in kitchen, bath
room, garden n medicine chest.
In this day of germs and much talk
OF sanitation no h~ousekeeper should
fail to have a dish OF powdered char
on an upper shelf or her refrigera-
tor. 1t absorbs unpleasant odors and
keeps things sweet smelling. Change
The charcoal every other day.
A little ~pulverized charcoal should be
among the toilet articles. Oddly
enough, 1t makes an excellent tooth
powder to whiten the teeth and sweeten
breath. The teeth must be thoroughly
rinsed until no trace OF black remains.
Where one is troubled by dyspepsia
nothing equals a charcoal tablet for
quick relief. One is especially good TO
the taste Of onions, cabbage or
other odoriferous food.
