nesday at o'clock in the afternoon,
and so on. The middle of the
night" high tide meanwhile would
keep moving up, and by the end of
the week it would be coming at about
$50 in the morning.
Ocean currents have some effect
on tides, and the general rule of
IL and half hours between high
tides is not true all around the
world. On the islands of the East
Indies high tides come at almost
the same time each day and night.
Neither is the height of the tide
the same at all places, or at all times
of the year At one point in the
Thames River-where sea and river
water mix-the tide rises 81 feet in
the years highest tide. At another
time of the year the rise at that
place is less than Is feet.
There are islands in the Pacific
Ocean where high tides are only two
or three feet high How different
that is from the story in the Bay
of Fundy. which separates Nova
Scotia from New Brunswick! At the
head of that bay, high tides often 60
above the mark of so feet, and some
times rise so feet or bit more.

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
urprise Word of the Week,


Los Angeles: Whence comes the
expression "A drug on the mar
ket"?-Le r. j.
Answer: Drug is from the French
drogue, ingredients used In dyeing,
chemistry and medicine" Also. by
extension, remedies of quack doc
tors. hence. ANY worthless or un.
salable commodity"
There is good deal Of disagree.
ment among the authorities as to
the exact origin Of drogue, al
through the word is found in several
other languages: Persian: drogua;
Dutch: droge; German: Droguen;
Spanish and Italian: droga.
Merriam-Webster's gives the ORR
gin as the Low German droge nate,
meaning dry casks, "' in which
droge. dry. was wrongly taken to be
a designation of the contents" The
Oxford English dictionary says this
theory is doubted. Skeat's Etymol-
ogical dictionary says, Origin un-
known; perhaps Oriental"
One thing is certain, however:
drug had no connection with mar.
cotics until comparatively recently.
This usage apparently grew out Of
the fact that certain medicines con-
tain drugs dngredients) of a mar
cotic nature.

There is a saying. Time and tide
wait for no man. and surely it is
true. People have found no way to
stop the passing of time or the ebb
and flow of the tides.
Tides have existed on this planet
for vast ages. When We speak of
them. we mean motion of water,
especially of ocean water. The great
est earthly tides are in the oceans
AS I said in an article some years
ago, the tides are caused by the
moon and sun. The moon does
about two-thirds Of the work of
making the oceans swell upward
The suns pull of gravity is much
stronger than the moons, but the sun
is 800 times as far away, and its
gravity does not drag so hard on
the earth's water.
At most places the time between
high tides is about II hours and a
halt. Such places have about TOO
high tides in year. That is an
average of a little less than two
high tides a day.
High tide keeps moving ahead"
Thus a high tide might come at
noon on Monday, and again in the
middle of the night. On Tuesday
