WASHINGTON, March 19.-Great
Britain has protested against an order
issued by Gen. Villa for the collection
of 1000. 900 pesos in taxes on church
property and on industrial corpora
tons at Monterey
The United States has made inqUir-
les as TO what American properties
will be affected and probably will also
protest unless good reason is furnished
for the action of Gen. Villa. Officials
say that property has been taxed and
retaxed TO death in Mexico.
British officials say that the Mexi-
can Light and Power company at
Monterey alone would have to pay
about $4,000 as its proportion of the
tax Great Britain'sl protest in this
case is based on the fact that this
company is owned by citizens of Can
ada
Great Britain also has a grievance
against Carranza for which Mexico
must eventually pay in the matter OF
the seizure by CarranZa and probable
destruction of considerable numbers
Of railroad cars and locomotives, the

One of the many duties undertaken
By the United States coast and geo.
idetic survey, which furnishes official
Information about our sea coast and
harbors for the use of mariners plying
these waters, Is that Of predicting the
tides at any given station at any time
In the future. To gain this informa-
ton a new machine OF a very compli-
Gated nature has Just been constructed
by the bureau and placed In operation
In the headquarters at WASHINGTON.
The tide levels for O year can be OBJ
tanned in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be a mass of little
wheels, knobs. cranks. chains and
glittering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, Dr..
e. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll OF paper on n end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. One
OF these draws q line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws a
varying line which represents the
tide. From this graphic record.
which is $40 feet long and about six
inches wide, representing the tides for
a year, the tide level at any time in
that period can be readily ascertained.
