Power Frcr- Tide. and Winds.

At the recon, -noetir'. # the British
association the question of economical
production of power from tides and
winds WAS again under discussion, and
1t has been taken up widely by scien.
unc Journals in Europe. La Revue
6cientifique calls attention to sys-
tenn Of utilizing the power of sea
waves to actuate dynamo which has
been employed during the last sis
months at the mouth OF the Rive,
Gironde. An air chamber is connect
Cd with . well. which communicates
with the sea at depth below the
level Of the lowest tides. BY the ad,
vance and recession of the waves
changes OF pressure are produced IN
the air chamber, and a system OF
valves enables the resulting air cur
rents to be applied to rotating a kind
turbine. II is said that the apparatus
works equally we'll IN calm and n

Charles Lamb. I can look with no

a bundle of prejudices-made up Of

EfueH went after Jim. He had not
mounted the canvas, but carried 1t
on a roller. He sought out Jim at
his usual haunts.
He's gone," was the report he got
from the proprietor of the principal
gaming place of the settlement.
Gone, when? Where?" questioned
the disappointed Arden.
Last night-cleaned out, and made

Arden took the portrait back to his
room, and showed it in his kit, and for
got all about it.
He had money enough as 1t was to
buy a horse, but he made the mistake
of starting off on the trail alone ana
unguided. He Numbered in following
it, got lost in desolate wilderness.
For six days he had no sight of haDl-
tation or human being. The morning
of the seventh he was awakened from
a sound sleep on bed of green in a
ravine to the accompaniment of say
age yells.
Half-a-dozen dusky warriors sur
rounded him. Their fierceness was
emphasized by the way in which they
brandished knives, rifles and toma-
hawks at him. His horse had been
appropriated by one savage, another
was ransacking his travelling kit.
His despoiler passed around to his
comrades article after article. Final
ly he came to the rolled-up portrait.
1t came loose in his hand, and he
stared agape at the picture of the half
breed circus star.
Arden had noticed stalwart young
brave who seemed to be the leader OF
the party. He had q certain princeiy
and dignifed mien and took no part
in the pilfering going. on. Just at
this juncture, however, as two of the
sayages, in turn, with hooking laugh

HELPLESS Arden, this young Indian
rushed forward with tumultuous
cry.
He halted the two sanguinary
braves with a gesture. He snatcheo
the portrait from the hand Of the man
who held it. He stared at it, his face
betraving the most sentient emotions.
He waved his companions away, he
relaxed the bonds securing Arden.
Then in an animated pantomime he
pointed at the portrait, he crossed his
hands upon his heart as though seek
ing to express a mute vivid alteration
for the fair half-breed girl it counter
feited.
Not a word of his jargon could Ar
den understand, but he guessed out
| the riddle from the expressive panto'
mime of the young brave. Ziatina had
been his love, they had quarreled, he
had sought her vainly.
If Arden could lead him to the van,
ished girl he should be enriched, and
the young chief led him from the spot
into a deep cave and showed him a
vast treasure house of gold gathered
up by the tribe for their leader he
summoned a member of his tribe. A
horse was brought. Two stout buck
skin bags were filed with gold and
slung across the back Of the animal
"Ziatina,'' he said simply, indicating
that if Arden should lead him to his
lost love the gold should be his.
