HAS HARNESSED THE TIDE.
Inventor Claims Hc Has Solved Prob.

Bath. Me. July 9-After experiment.
ing for several months to secure contin-
uous power from the rise and fall OF the
tides, Thomas A. Macdonald of Clifton
N j., now has working model located
on the bank OF the Kenncbec river, at
tho northern end of the city, which is
accomplishing all that he declared it
would.
1t was n week ago tina, his miniature
water wheel was set in motion and it has
turned ever since without let-up. Many
scientific men have locked the model
over.
Last winter Mr.. Macdonald appeared
before the board of trade to unfold his
scheme and that body took hold of the
proposition by appointing "A general COM
mittce to investigate.
Now the inventor has built a large
water-tight enclosure which is divided
into two parts, high-water pond and
a low-water pond with Il dam between,
in which there Is turbine wheel
The idea Is simplicity Itself, depending
wholly upon the rise of the tides 10 fill
the high water pond by means of auto
matte gates. The water continues to flow
from this pond into the other and fills
the low-water pond until the tide has
dropped sufficiently to remove any out
ward pressure against its gaA-s, when
they open ana this pond cnptles. The
water in the highwater pend is held in
storage all this time and flows only by
means Of regulated stream
Mr.. Macdonald believes that the prob
lem OF continuous power has been solved
by his invention.
