Curious Facts About the Irregularities
 of the Tides.

Curious Facts About the Irregularities
 of the Tides.
 To the ordinary laudsmOn tides along the coast are most puzzliug He has been taught that the tides rise and fall twice in the tweuty-tour hours and that this depends in some myste- rlous way upon the moon. But when 1t occurs that In his travels he sees a spot along the shore where there Is no tide at all he is at loss to ex- plain the phenomenon.
 To be exact. there is only one ocean ln 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 shal. 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 waves Is amazing. Where the depth decreases to five fathoms the tide travels at 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. ous 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 race running at speed to be matched only by a mountain torrent. The force of a heavy tidal current pushing up a wide mouthcd river causes what is termed a bore" The most striking example of this tidal feature is seen on the Amazon. moving wall of wa ter thirty feet high and reaching from bank to bank rushing inland from the ocean.-New York Tribune.

It will be remembered that John W. Arctander
the noted Minneapolis lawyer, through this Sec
ton of the country summer, disposing of shares
in the Colorado River & Dredging Co. 1t seems that
the company had located a part of the river that
was absolutely lined with gold, and they proposed
to put big dredge out there and dip It up ny

direct descendant of the ancient Vikings in order to
even invest your money in this great enterprise
John w. was very careful to that only his own
countrymen got in this dazzling deal, and as
peddling the real article and several thousand dol
lars were invested by prominent Norwegian cti

the sad news from personal, tearstafned letter
from Mr. Arctander, relating the unfortunate situa
ton which compelled the insolvency of the company
OF course, the failure in no wise due to any
NEGLIGENCE of Mr.. Arctander. He performed his
part faithfully and to the letter. He took IN the
money But the gold in the bottom Of the river
was of such peculiar nature that the screens
would not hold it, and fast as It was d1shed
up in great glitterng scoopfuls 1t slid back into
the river and disappeared from view. OF course
that was not Arctander's fault. Another misfor-
tune was the complete disappearance OF an island
in the river which they purchased, which contained
all kinds OF gold. They went down to start opera
tons on the island and 10 and behold, it had dis

ty in Syria A. D. 1890. He was the
prince or chief of the sect of the Mo-

from his country, he took up his abode

him band of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians.
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that If they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys of

tinued to be the terror of the country.
Whenever their chief. the "Old Man

injured he dispatched some of his as
sassins secretly to murder the aggres

word assassin for a secret murderer.
