Tides In the Bay Of Fundy.

The Bay of Fundy is noted for Its
high tides. At the head of the bay a
rise of 80 feet is known, and in Pas
samaquoddy bay, which indents New
Brunswick near the border Of the state
of Maine, rise of 25 feet is not un-
common. At st. John the rise varies
from 20 to 27 feet. At Moncton the
tide rushes up the estuary a crest or
wave of water from 8 to 6 feet high.
At most places the tide rises gradually,
but not slowly, each wave rolling up
on the shore a little higher than the
preceding one. There are two high
tide,, In every "a hours. For instance,
say at 10 o'clock In the forenoon and
10 at night, and on the following day
the two high tides will be one hour
later, and so on.

REVENGE THAT WAS eos1L,
Australian Farmers Fancy Method Of
Pest Destruction Could Hardly
BE Called . Success.

farmer living near Boree Greek,
New South Wales. was greatly annoyed
by the depredations of hawk. which
almost daily took soll among his chick
ems. Finally. after a good dead of trou-
BILE. he succeeded In trapping the bird
alive. and. smarting under his losses.
resolved upon a really elaborate re-
venge. Procuring supply of "gell"
(explosive). he fastened It to the un-
fortunate hawks leg and attached
long fuse to It. Then. having lit the
fuse. he released the bird and waited
for It to fly into the air to annihila-
ton. However. the trick failed to
work. Somewhat dazed. no doubt, by
the rough handling 1t had received. the
hawk obstinately refused to move from
a position near the door of the
"humpy."
With the fuse sputtering fiercely. the
farmer began to get uneasy, and he did
all in his power to scare this "feath-
cred mine" away, but at first with lit
tie success. Finally it rose in the
air-but only to settle on his roof.
near the chimney. Shouting and bonn
bardment with stones and sticks alike
failed to move 1t from this position,
and with the perspiration streaming
down his face and his hair beginning
to stand on end the farmer was ulti-
mately obliged to take to his heels for
his own safety. The bird sat doggedly
on the roof till the end came then the
luckless squatter, looking back, saw
roof, chimney and hawk go up in one
terrific explosion. He has now sworn
off all fancy methods of pest destruc-
tlon.-Wide World Magazine.

Tradition and Superstition.

The moon, of course, is the source,
or reason, or what you will, of many
superstitions. As one grows older pos
sibly the moon becomes less an object
of romance than formerly, but the
sense of beauty is never lost-even
though some otherwise sane people OBJ
ject, as long as they live, to seeing
the lovely new moon over their left
shoulder. Frankly, we do not know
the reason Of this fear. In the course
of busy and, we trust, useful life we
have never happened to hear the rea-
son. But 1t is well to assume that
there is one.
Tradition is interesting; superstition
is common. Perhaps we have too few
traditions in this country and too
many superstitions. But most Of us
will proudly affirm that we believe In
all the good traditions and In no su-
perstitions whatever-and maybe we
all shall be telling the truth.-Ex.

WHAT GIVES SKY BLUE TINT
Simple Explanation Of Matter to
Which Probably Few Have Given
Much Attention.

Not one person in a hundred could
give satisfactory answer to the ques-
tion, Why is the sky blue?
And yet the explanation, as given
by Professor w. H. Bragg, at the
British Royal institution. is quite
simple.
The blue sky, he explained, is due
to the interception of particles in the
atmosphere of the bice rays which
form a part of the white light of the
sun. The parts of white light con-
veyed by longer red and yellow light
waves manage to jump the many sub
stances in the atmosphere and are
seen at sunrise and sunset.
The professor illustrated his mean
ing by showing disc of light on the
screen which, passing through bowl
of water became gradually redder as
the water got cloudier, till at last,
after an imitation of the sun In No
vember fog. 1t faded away.
Professor Bragg has also revealed
some Of the mysteries. of sound. II
you put stick in revolving bowl
Of water, 1t sets up little whirlpools
behind 1t. In the same way the wind
rushing past trees forms whirlwinds
on a small scale, and these cause
those sounds SO admirably described
by the Initiative word "soughing."
Similar sounds are set up by telegraph
wires.
