j> Thjs Forgiving Wife %^ ^ f By Winifred Black ^ ? 4********* KNOW a woman who has just come home from a long visit ? " . * to Europe. S* She didn't go on the visit for pleasure; her young JL * daughter was ill and she took her daughter abroad to save J J her Ufe. *'?"*WH"** When my friend came home from abroad she noticed something peculiar about the way her friends greeted her. They seemed to be sorry for her some way, though none of them said anything in so many , words. One day my friend found out what it was that made them sorry. Her husband had had a foolish little affair with a foolish little woman wd there had been a little scandal about it. My friend loves her husband and he loves her., So she went to him and said: "Dear, you are worried; you are in trouble; you think I'm going to find something out and be angry with you. , "I have found it out and I am not angry with you. I am sorry for you. I want you to know that I am not only your wife, I am the best friend, the most loyal, the m?st unselfish Ind the truest friend you have in the world. I will stand by you through this thing. I know that you have not been really ialtMess to me; you have just been foolish; you are heartsick over the whole thing now; so am L Come, let's be heartsick together." And the husband of my friend looked at her as if he heard some one speaking from aq open grave, and he told his wife the whole truth, the fool ish, silly, miserable truth, and she talked it all over with him and comforted him and encouraged him and laughed at him and teased him, and together they faced the whole thing through-and to-day you couldn't lure that man away from his wife with any siren who ever sang, or any Salome who ever ?reamed a dream of dancing. I wonder if it wasn't worth while?-New York American, ????????eooee????????????? What Causes the Tides ? By Edgar Lucien Larkin, Of the Lowe Observatory, Echo Mountain, CaL HE tides nave been studied wtih great care and labor during three, centuries, and are not yet completely understood -by - astronomers. Any point on earth moves from west to east . around to the same location in space in a period of twenty four hours. The moon goes around the earth in a period of 27.32166 days. Let the moon and a star be on the same straight line at exact noon; then, of course, they would cross the meridian together. In twenty-four hours the star will cross it again, but you will have to wait fifty-two minutes longer for the moon to cross, it having moved eastward through a space re quiring thal length, of time to traverse. The- moon attracts by the law of gravitation, and, being a dead planet, has no effect on attractive force. And this attraction heaps up water directly under it in the ocean. But there is another heap on the exact opposite side of the earth away from the moon. This is because the moon attract? the whole earth away from the water, leaving it behind in a heap Of pile or elevation. The tide day is therefore 24 ihours 52 minutes long. High, tides will be at both sides of the earth at the same time, and, of course, low tides at distances of 90 degrees each way, or at points one?ourti the circumference o? the earth from the high heaps. Tides axe caused by differences in the intensity of the moon's attraction on water on the side of :he earth nearest to it and farthest away and also between these attractions and the attraction exerted on the centre o' the earth. The sun also causes tides. These combine with the lunar and call into use th? most intricate mathematics to compute heights and times of high and low. Experts In ^ k AlpineMountain Climbing k Cy Day Allen Willey S OMB ct the guides are experts in climbing. There are a number who are noted for their skill in what the Alpinist calls "snow and Ice work." That means going* up a peak which has so many snow fields and glaciers that its sides and summits may be nearly covered with them. The gla der guide can tell you all about "cornices"-snow masses f^^L which project from the edge of precipices and overhang the ?* ? jl valley beneath like the roof of a house. Experience has told him whether a cornice can. be crossed safely or wheth er it may break off if one ventures upon lt He is also an expert with the ice axe carried in his belt cutting footholds in the glittering wails that may rise fifty or a hundred feet above your head. These ice precipices are frequently found at the heads of glaciers, which, as the schoolboy knows, are merely rivers of frozen water slowing moving down the face of a mountain on account of the force cf gravity and the great pressure of the ice masses which form their source on the upper part of the slope. Other guides make a specialty of "rock work," conducting persons up peaks which may be only partly covered with snow and ice, but having sides of bare rock so steep that in places the cliffs may be almost straight up and down. Here it would seem that one must be os spry and as sure-footed as the chamois-the rare goat that lives up amid the Alps. While the crevasse and other dangers of the snow and ice fields may be absent, the mountain may be so abrupt that the climber must ascend hundreds of feet pulling himself up with his arms aiding his legs, while often the guide hauls him to the top of the most difficult slopes by main strength-St Nicholas. ?.???????.???????????o?o<? The Law of the Lower Sky Some Remarks on the Landowner's Rights as Against the Aeronaut ___ \ By Hyacinthe Ringrose VERY lawyer with his heart in his subtle trade is looking eagerly for the first suit against an air skipper for trespass. When balloons first began to float over fields and houses the great question was raised and pushed aside by a Lord Chief Justice oTEngland as something which might be left for posterity to settle. The common law ls clear enough an to the ownership of the air above the land, some genius with a taste for definition having given us the maxim that the owner of the soil is the owner of all between it and heaven, as well as all between it and the earth's core or centre. If an airship or anything from it falls onto a man's land, he can maintain an action for trespass "qnare clausuni fregit"-that is to say, for "breaking him close." . Beyond this, there ia mach airship law to be made anent natural rights, ownership and actual occupancy of the air. So long as the flying man soars in the upper air no one will grudge him his place among the swallows^ but the market gardener who notes .the uncertain ricochetting with uncertain wings a'few yards above, the glass of his frames will soon demand a legal answer to the question which Lord Ellenborough dodged so successfully.
