INC UhIIeu States coast and geodetic survey, "at

over an uninterrupted Arctic basin would pro-
uuce IN other words, the normal or theoretical
NO." IS somehow impeded, and the question is,
"hat IS the nature and the extent of this OBJ
SUuctlon or series of tidal checks?
The semi-daily tides found in the Arctic ocean
are derived almost entirely from those of the
North Atlantic, because the semidaily forces van
ISL at the pole and are very small in the higher
autudes,' Mr.. Harris continues. 1T is a case
u getting near the hub of wheel These tides
enter the Arctic ocean proper by way of the
strait Nlng between Spitzbergen and the eastern
coast OF northern Greenland. They are propa-
gated through the Arctic to the New Siberian
islands the average rise and fall at Bennett is
land being % feet
NOW upon the assumption of uninterrupted
aFcuc basin the tides at Point Barrow and at
FIs&man island could not differ greatly in size
from the tides which would upon the same as
SUMPTION be found at Bennett island. But as
matter OF fact the rise and fall of the semi-dafy
uae Is O4 foot at Point Barrow and 0.5 at Flax
man island"
- hut the presence of an obstruction, assuming
tle water for the tidal movement to come, as Mr..
1'@IIIS says. from the Atlantic ocean via the
passage between the northeastern coast of Green
'auu and Spitzbergen, is further evidenced by the
oS"ecuons in which the ebb and the flood tides

Arctic basin.

Have you ever spilled a
Cupful of water on a level
bit of ground? If so, you
have probably noticed how
far the liquid spread. Again,
you have no doubt poured
a bucketful of water into a
barrel and been disguised
at the modest degree it
went toward filling it. In a
popular way this illustrates
the manner in which the
waters of a rising tide ad-
vance upon low-lying lands
and, again, how the same
influx is relatively but lit

is deep and broad.

tns time to effect the relief of that part of the
crew of the Inflated Karluk now marooned upon
Wrange island, to the northwest of Boring strait.
As will be recalled the Karluk set out to explore
the Arctic region north of Beaufort and if pos
sbe to examine more closely Croker land. which
was sighted by Peary the oath of June, 1906,
from a distant point. The discovery of Croker
land gave tangible support to the old contention
that the polar region was not great Recovered
sea but instead that vast continent existed there
beneath its eternal cloak of snow and ice. Stefans
son was of those who believed in the existence
of an Arctic continent in that wide untraversed
realm and his aim to trace part at least of
its boundaries.
To the casual observer the untimely ending of
his expedition might to have thwarted his
purpose and to have rendered useless the ventur-
ing the Karuk, but the loss of that craft in itself
has, paradoxicaly, added cumulative evidence of
the existence Of the shores that Stefansson and
his followers did not To make this clear it is
necessary to explain how the searching mind of
the scientist has already determined the probable
existence of uncharted Arctic continent or
vast archipelago Of large islands covering total
of quite 100000 square miles-an area more
than ten times big as the state of New York or

GOLDEN JUBILEE
K. Of P. Fiftieth Anniversary Fitingy
Observed

The Golden Jubilee celebration
of the Knights of Pythias was fit
tingly observed by the Ely lodge
last evening at their hall. The
celebration was general throughout
the country and every Castle had
a celebration last evening. In
Washington, D. c., where the or
der was founded fifty years ago by
twelve men, President Wilson was
initiated last evening in the pre-
sence of members of the order from
every state in the Union and Can
ada.
Ely opened its celebration by a
banquet served by Mrs. Lawrence
which was partaken of by almost
the entire membership and their
ladies. A ritualistic celebration
service was then gone through
with, Chancellor Commander Jas.
Tonkin being in the chair. He
was assisted by Jas. Nicholas as
master at arms, E. F. Stidd as pre-
late, L. J. White as vice chancellor
and Richard Coad as master ex-
chequor.
A short program followed:
Miss Elaine Fenske gave a piano
solo. Miss Margaret Brown sang
Sing me to Sleep" and Miss Ivy
Green gave a reading. John ].
Speeding rendered a vocal solo.
Misses Margaret and Alice Brown
sang a duet. Misses Ruth Prout
and Elaine Fenske served as &C
companists.
The programs was interspersed
with talks by Henry Chinn and F.
F. Stidd who reviewed the history
of the order briefly. The talks
were good and to the point. Col.
Ebenezer Snowfall of Georgia was
also present and regaled his hear
erswith dissertation on Science, "
He handled the subject with con-
siderable study and vocabulary in
true colored style. Col. SNOWFALL
took the audience by storm. Con-
siderable speculation as to the
identity of the gentleman was in
dulged in until it was discovered
that Fred Bysche of Winton had
slipped out of the hall unknown
and returned as a we'll madeup
colored brother.
The evening was we'll spent
everything combining to make the
affair as pleasant as possible. The
committee who had arranged the
banquet and program deserve much
credit. One thing lacking was an
orchestra which could not be secur-
ed in the city for the occasion. A
Victrola furnished selections during
the banquet.
