Subtraction That Add*.
The air was sweet with the smell of
willow wood, aud the artificial limb
maker was adjusting a delicate metal
spring In a superb leg.
"This one of a pair of legs." be said,
"1 am making for an aviator. They
are longer legs than his own were.
His height before the accident was
only five feet sis. Now, with these
legs, be will be five feet ten.
"Men all like to be tall. And short
men. wbeu. as sometimes happens,
they lose both legs, gratify this uni
versal desire for height by orderlog
wooden legs of an excessive length.
"Yes. paradoxical though it seems,
cut a short man's legs off and he be
comes taller."? Exchange.

OCEAN WAVES.
Curious Facts About the Irregularities
of the Tides.
To the ordinary landsman tides along
the coast arc most puzzling. lie bus
been taught that the tides rise and
fall twice In the twenty-four hours
and that this depends In some myste
rious way upon the moon. But when
it occurs that In his travels he sees a
spot along the shore where there is
no tide at all be is at a loss to ex
plain the phenomenon.
To be exact, there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow
the moon with absolute regularity.
This is the grvut Antarctic basin, and
, the reason is that there and there only
Is to be found a sweep of water en
tirely uninterrupted by land. The
enormous wave raised by the moon's
attraction courses round the world
south of Cape Horn and the Cape of
Good IIopc with absolutely nothing to
break it. In the northern hemisphere
great masses of land interrupt the tidal
waves and, combined with the shal
lowness of inlaud seas, cause them to
perform autics that seem most strange.
The depth of water has much to do
with tidal irregularities. Out In the
open ocean, when the tide is abyssmal
?that is, about 5,000 fathoms? the
speed of the waves is amazing. Where
the depth decreases to tive fathoms the
tide travels at a comparatively slow
rate. In Euglaud, for example, which
is surrounded by narrow, laud broken
seas, the result is that the Britons get
some of the most terrible and dauger
ous tidal races aud currents.
The most formidable is the whirl
pool between tbe island of Jura and
Scarba, on the west coast of Scot
land. This is known as the "Caldron
of the Spotted Seas." Here is a race
running at a spe?*d to be matched only
by a mountain torrent. The force of
i a heavy tidal current pushing up a
wide mouthed river causes what is
termed a "bore." The most striklug
I example of this tidal feature is seen
on the Amazon, a moving wall of wa
ter thirty feet high and reaching from
bank to bank rushing Inland from the
ocean.? New York Tribune.
