Famous Tides of Fundv Kvery schoolboy has heard of the Hay of Kundy and Its retuatkable tides. Hut when lie gels out of his geography It Is only on rat- occasions that he sees any reference to the subject. Yet in the Hay of Kunily, almost at our very doors, re lates thn New York Herald, may be wit-iics-mmI some of the most phenomenal tidal manifestations In the world It is not iih If you had lo devote extra ordinary study or to go up there with a microscope to see these phenomena. Co (o the Hay or Kundy and they are patent on all sides In the wonderful elllf carving on Ihe Island of (Irani! Manan. which lies at the mouth of tho bay, between Maine and Nova Scotia, opposite Kastporl, where on Campoliello island ihey have wort, away a huge rock to the shape of a "friar's head;" almost auywheie In Ihe vast difference- between tlm wnler marks on the various wharves of high ami low tide; In the laud of Iongrcllnw's Acndlans. In Hi' broad sweeps of dyke lands rich alluvial Intervale over which the wnters of the bay arc occasionally allowed to How by means of lloodgales; but most notable of all In the wonderful reversible falls of the St. John rher. near St. John. N. !!., and In tho famous bore, or tidal wave, at Mom -ton. N II. Imagine a perfectly placid surface of water, so placid that It mirrors all the sur rounding shores, suddenly converted Into a inglng torrent and tumbling waterfall. f!n to St. John, N. H., cross to tho Carleton shire, walk a short distance along the lat ter and you need not Imagine this phe nomena. You enn see It with your own eyes If you reach the spot Just before the change of the tide. The St. John river, or. rather the harbor, conlr.icts horn to n beautiful rocky gorge, spanned by two handsome sus pension bridges. Above this gorge the river hnailens nut again. Hut during Ihe twenty-four hoi rs there are only four Intervals of twenty minutes each when shipping enn pass through Ihe gorge. On each change or tide there Is at slack wnler a period of twenty minutes during which the water In the gorge Ih on a level with that of the har bor mid Ihe river and perfectly plncld. During those twenty minutes tho shipping I'urrl.s through. Suddenly, without tho slightest warning, without s IMI,, nR tremble or quiver nf the surface, a streak or white (lashes across It, and a second later a roaring waterfall and cataract Is pitching headlong into the harbor from under the bridges If the tide be running nut, and Into the rher above If the tide be on the Hood. Such are the reversing falls of Ihe St. John river. I doubt if a more dramatic change occurs with such unvary ing regularity anywhere else In tinture. It Is made nil the morn Impressive by the beiuty of the landscape. The suddenness with which t lils landscape, ns retlerted In Hie placid water, disappears Is like the ruthless smashing of a mirror The reversing rails are caused by the dilTerence In level between thn harbor and ihe river above the gorge, thn natural level of the river being some twelve reel lower than that of the harbor The Incoming tide rushes through the gorge until It has filled up the river lo a level with tho harbor, the Hood then heaping Hef up llp,m tu, ,.v,r Then when the tide has emptied Itself out or the harbor sulllclcntly tho heaped up waters of the tiver come d.uhlng through thn gorge So gnat is (h,, u,lu tls an,, tall In the Hay of Kundy and so swift tho tidal current In places that In deep watc thn buovs swing lo from fin to nrt fathom ef cable, and as buoys swinging lo such long cables are apt tn shift position the length of the cables Is specified in the notices to milliners. The tidal phenomena of the Hay of Kundv are txplaiiud bv 'he peculiar in-ughllke .luly US, i!Ml shape nf the ba s It narrows rrotn th broad reaih between Cape Sable. Nova Scotia, and the coast or Maine the waters heap up upon themselves. This simple theory seems to Im borne out by the In creasing rise mid fall of the tide toward tho various heads of the bay, which are even more narrow and troughlike, and thus repent the tidal phenomena on a steadily growing calo until we reach (he sixty square miles or mud Hats nt low water at tho head of Minus basin, the reversing falls of the St. John river and the lurushliig tidal "bore" at Moticton. How to Wash Fine Glass Standing in water, or allowing water to remain In cut glass, no matter how clear, robs the cutting of luster, and puts It al most on a level with pressed glass. Still, one must make haste slowly. No matter If there Is but a single bowl, wash It apart from everything else, and In perfectly lear water. If It Is caked and sticky In side, from standing after use, llll it with warm soda water and shake vigorously for a minute, then repeat until the glass be gins to show clear. With any very line or fragile glass, especially pieces that have slender stems, necks or handles, set the pieces securely In a broad, shallow tray, i overed with a double cloth, and place it upon the table at Hie right of the dlshpan. If thn sink Is some way off, set a basin for rinsing In front of the pan and a pitcher of moderately hot water between the b.isln mid Ihe trav or soiled glass. An agateware pan Is best Kolil a Fnft, wide, clean towel In four and lay It at the bottom of thn pan. Then pour In half a gallon strictly boiling water to three quarts or cold for about the right temperature. Put a tnblospooiiful of am monia to the gallon. I'se also a little white soap. Never let Ihe yellow soap touch glass of any sort the resin In It makes a i loudy, dull surface. Put in the glass, piece at a time thus alone Is one Insured against chipping or cracking. Have a clean, soft vvnsh cloth, also a very soft brush. Wash tho glass quickly, using Ihe brush on nil the cut ling; then pass It through the pan of rins ing water. The rinse water needs to be a little hotter one-half, fully boiling and the heat kept up by milling more water from lime to time. Do not keep the gloss In It longer than a minute; wash it vigorously about, then turn upside down over the pan and set, still upside down, upon the drain ing board, covered like the pan bottoms with a folded towel. Let It drain until the next piece Is ready for the board, then take up and plunge in a deep box of Hue sirted Hiiwdust -either oak or while wood No resinous or gummy wooiIh give dust 111 to use. If the dust Is hoi. all the better, ll should be kept In a clean bag and hung over the ntove, or laid innlde a warm oven some little time before It Is wanted. After use It must be dried, bagged and put nvvay for next time. Th" sort known ns "Jewelers'" sawdust ts nl ways safe. The best Jewelers use It for ilrylng linn metal work nrter It Is washed and polished. Take the glass out or the sawdust, brush with a very sort, thick hrush and polish with a clean, soft cloth. If there Is no sawdust, wipe and polish after n few minutes' draining. Olnss must I'.v no means allowed tn get cold while damp I'so dry IowcIh nil the tlmo wiping with a wet towel Is worse than no wiping. New towels are too hard nnd wiry to take up every bit of moisture old ones shed lint, leaving their mark wherovcr tiny touch The very best linen crash, specially softtiifd by several washings and blenoh IngH and ki pt solely for glass, Is the thing to use. To clean decanters and claret Jugs drop hilf a dozen buckshot Inside, with half n Pint or warm soda water, and shako vlg orously. if t,e decanters are much crusted IHI with soda water to the stoppers and let stand six hours. This will remove the crust, hut must bo followed bv a little vinegar, shaken well around. ' Fragile deeply cut bottles must be cleaned with al cohol and coarse brown paper. Cut half n dozen squares three Inches across from the sllffest, roughest paper. Kohl them lightly and crowd I 1i.mii down the bottle neck, then pour In half a cupful nf nlcohol. put in the stopper and shake hard. Pour off tho nlcohol It can be used ngnln-llll with clear water, hair boiling hcnt. shake Hard, let stand a few minutes, then shake and wash as directed.
