Power From Ocean Tides.
So far such little power as 1ms been
abstracted from ocean tides Ims been
Insignificant. The rise and fall of the
tides Is not very great, even though It
docs amount to 70 feet in some places,
and hence if any considerable power
is to be obtained basins of large area
must be used.
B.v damming the bay nt Mont St.
Michel in France, where the tide rises
about 45 feet, it Is estimated that
enough power may lie obtained to op
erate half of the industries of Franco.
A French engineer witli vast powers
of imagination has conceived tin- idea
of building dikes across the cliiimiel
ami ncross the Thames estuary to
form two large tidal basins which may
bo used alternately to furnish a con
tinuous supply of power.
Shelves Are Fireproof.

magazine. Concrete and steel are used
exclusively, the floors being of jolnt-
less composition with rounded cor
ners, while window frames, trimmings,
floors, staircases, ami even the cup
board shelves are of steel. The cot
tages are fitted with every modern Im
provement and are said .o have ex
