VAGARIES OF THE TIDE, ff
Mysterious Currents, tha Seorsta ' ef
Whioh No On Has Solved.
There are us many vagaries in the
waters as In the winds. Why, for In- ,
stance, should great ocean currents
send their warm waters across the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist In j
well nigh tilt parts of the world. i
It Is on record that the sea lias run
for weeks out of the Java sea. through
the strait of Runda and thence buck
again for a like period without any
perceptible rise and fall durinx those
times.
Then there Is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea. the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the Icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the
continual current running with a ve
locity of from four to five knots on
hour through the strait of Gibraltar
Into the Mediterranean sea. the swift
current running acroa the rocks and
shoals off the end of Bllllton Island,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends somewhere In the vicinity of
the same place, and the current which,
starting halfway up the China sea.
rims from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends ab
ruptly off the north end of Luzon.
Then we bare those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores. Those
that run up' the Huglt and Irnwadl
rivers, from side to side, till they reach
their limit often tearing the ship"
from their anchorage, originate nobody
knows where or why.
At Singapore It has been observed
for days at a time that there has been
but one rise and fall in the twenty
four hours. Boston Globe.
The Seoksl Pear.
The Seckel pear Is one of the sweet
est and daintiest fruits that grow. As
another describes It, "The flesh Is melt
ing. Juicy and most exquisitely and del
icately flavored." That Is Just what It
is. And the tree on which this pear
grows la beautiful and vigorous, which
Indicates that nature bns a great fond
ness 'for It . The pear ls named after
a Mr. Seckel of Philadelphia, on whose
estate In 1817 the Seckel pear started
on Its happy career. Some one writ
ing In 1847 said, "The parent tree still
lives about three miles from Philadel
phia." Pittsburgh Press.
