ANCHORS OF MANY PATTERNS
Anything Sufficiently Weiuhty Used
Before the Invention of Modern
Article With Flukes.

The Britannica describes the anchor
as ian instrument of iron or other
heavy material used for holding ships
or boats in any locality required, and
preventing them from drifting by
winds, tides, currents or other causes.
This is done by the anchor (after it Is
let go from the ship by means of the
cable) fixing itself in the ground and
there holding the vessel fast.
The most ancient anchors consisted of
large stones, baskets full of stones,
sacks filled with sand, or logs of wood
loaded with lead. OF this kind were
the anchors Of the ancient Greeks,
which, according to Apollonius Rhod-
ius and Stephen of Byzantium, were
formed of stone; and Athenaeus states
that they were sometimes made of
wood. Such anchors held the vessel
merely by their weight and by the
friction. along the bottom. Iron was
afterward introduced for the construc-
tion Of anchors, and an Improvement
was made by forming them with teeth
or 'flukes' to fasten themselves into
the bottom. - The invention
of the teeth is ascribed by Pliny to the
Tuscans, but Pausanias gives the
credit to Midas, king of Phrygia."

PECULIAR ACTION OF TIDES
and Fall OF Sea Around the
Society islands.

The peculiarities of the tides In the
Society group Of islands, in the South
seas. were remarked as long ago as the
days of Captain Cook. In reality, the
rise and fall Of the sea--which seldom
exceeds 10 inches-can scarcely be
called tidal, for 1t Is not influenced by
the moon; high water comes invariably
at midnight and noon, and at sunset
and sunrise the water is always Tow,
says a writer In Harper's.
The local belief is that these So
called tides are due to wind; 1t Is
true that the mornings are usually
calm and that the breeze springs up
toward midday, to die away in the
late afternoon. AT IL or II O'Clock,
then, an increasing surf breaches over
the low barrier of coral and causes
the sheltered waters of the lagoon to
rise-a neat theory until one stops to
think that the hours about midnight
(when the tide is precisely as high as
at noon) are among the calmest of the
"a. and that the noon tide does not
fail on days of CLASSY stiffness.
