SALTWATER cataracts.

There are a good many saltwater
cataracts in existence. They may be
found In Norway, southern Chils
and British Columbia, where narrow
fiords, or arms of the sea, are OF.
structed by barriers of rock. The Yis
ing tide flows over and filters through
such reefs into the great natural res
ervoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until it breaks over
the obstruction In an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
terfall at Canoe Passage. where the
island Of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
food tide from the Gulf of Georgia to
the southwark IL held back at a mar
row cleft between two islands until 1t
pours over in boiling cascade Is feet
high, with perhaps double the volume
Of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide
however, the waters from the north
rush back into the guif. producing .
cascade Of equal height and volume

Folk SONGS of Ssrvia.

The folk songs of Servia are less
known outside the borders of that
country than the songs of any other
nation. but some day a great musician
is expected to arise and make the
Servian music known throughout the
world. just as the composers of Aus
tria. Vienna and Russia have made
their folk songs known.
1t is in these folk songs that the
Servians express chiefly their devotion
to their country and their intense pa.
triotism. There are. Of course, love
songs. death songs and harvest songs.
but 1t is In these wild patriotic out
bursts that the Servian spirit Is best
shown.

the reputation that they had earned on
many a battlefield and which they
maintained. even IN defeat Caesar
overwhelmed mDre than quarter OF

crushing defeat on tho Aisne several

intensity Of their onslaught. But tbs

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests Of England
used to dig holes in the earth with
their forefeet They paved 1t out
sometimes to the depth Of several
inches, sometimes a foot or more
These holes were called "scrapes," and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
were careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laugh
ed at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud. and Is
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing bit they were said to
have got into scrape." Some Cam
bridge students took up this expires
sion. and thus it came to be applied to
people who had got into difficulties Of

Smoke IL caused by failure to burn
the combustible gases that arise when
fuel Is exposed to the fame. The edi.
tor of Power describes these gases as
- complex mixture of various hydro
cartoons. from some of which carbon
separates on cooling In the form of
lampblack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give OF tarry vapors. which con-
dense and help to gather the carbon
particles into fakes or 'smuts.
For the burning of these gases as
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be-
supplied above the fuel bed. the tenn
perature must be high enough to In
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents OF gas and air are
cooled by flowing into or among the
tubes of the boiler"
Firing coal In large quantities pro
duces so much gas that neither all
supply nor combustion space is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put ON in small quantities at
frequent Intervals.
