And, moreover. instead of going straight lo the links when he reached Surbiton, where it was ten to one his employer we. to be found, he went fleet to Mr. Cumberledge's house.

Ships Left High and Dry Float a Few Hour Later—Water Runs Both Ways at Once. • That restless pulse of the ocean, the Ude, works wonders everywhere, but, lu and about the Bay of Fundy, where it ntiains its greatest height, its mani- festations ere the most varied. Here is Alt arm of themmean, from thirty to fifty miles wide, extending for 180 milee be- tween the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New 13runswick. It is pro- longed eurther into Chigneeto Channel anibdultahleteBssin of Minas and thete /nany ti Into this bay ihe sea pours twice every twenty-four hours an immense volume of Water. Theoretically there aro four tides a day, the moon and the sun ante- ing Iwo titles each. But the solar tides are so much lower than the lunar and so largely merged in them that they escape notice. ' Twice a month, however, the moon and the sun pull together, resulting in the unusually high spring tides. When the pull of the sun is at right angles lo that of the moon, at the first tiod third quarter of' the moon, the neap tides, which aro always low, occur. The rise of the tide in the Ray (If Fundy varies erom 12 feet at low neap tide to 00 feet or more at a high spring lide.

Through this narrow opening the tide rushes with great force to spread (teen over the basin.' The Atenapolis River, whieh if left, lo itself would be only a streaintet, bit - comes navigable at high tide for foul -- teen miles.
