steamers (comparatively speaking) can do the work of a large fleet. of burks,; brigs and schoouers, St. Johns, herselt, ia the tourth tonnage-ownlng port in.the British Empire, and her vessels are to be seen all over the sear, buc she has no steamer, and it will only be a short time when the. British tramp steamers will run her sail vessels off the tave of the water. © By way ot.a postscript to the above I will add something which may not be very wel) known in regard to the tide wave phenom- epon here to beseen. This tide wave that sweeps to the northeast along the Atlantic coast, of the United States, entering the .funnel like mouth of. the Bay of Fundy, bevomes compressed and elevated as the sides of the bay. gradu- ally approach each other. In the narrower parts, the water runs as the rate of six knots an hour, and the vertical rise of the tide amounts tosixty feet in height. At some points these tides, to an unaccustomed spec- tator, have rather the aspect of sume rare convulsion of nature than of an ordinary daily occurrence, At low tide wide flats of brown mud are seen to extend for miles, as if the sea had altogether retired from its bed, and the distant channel appears as a mere strip of muddy water.. At the commenc- mentof the flood a slight ripple is sure to break over the edge of the flats. It makes awittly forward, and covering the lower flats almost instantaneously, gains rapidly on the | higher swells of mud, which appear as If, they were being dissolved in turbid water. At the same time a torrent of red water en- ters all the channels, creeks and estuaries, surging, whirling and foaming, and eften having in its front a white, breaking wave, or “bore,” which runs steadily forward, meeting and swallowing up the remains of the ebb, still trickling down the channel. The mud flats are soon covered, and then, as the stranger sees the water gaining with noisless and steady rapidity cn the steep sides of banks and cliffs, a sense ot insecu- rity creeps over him, as if no limit could be set to the advancing deluge. In a little time, however, he sees that the fiat,““Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further,’? has been issued to the great bay tide, its retreat com- mences and the waters rush back as quickly as they entored. So much forthe great “bore” of St. Johns. G. Foster Howe... General Hazen, Chief of the Signal Ser vice, objects to the suggested transfer of that service from the military toa civil braneh of the Government. He claims that its military organization is necessary to make it effective. General Hazen is correct in this. Before any transfer of this useful branch of the military service to a civil branch of the Government is undertaken, something more should be heard from tho-e who advocate the change. ‘his transfer idea was spoken of last year at the Vienna Polar Conference, where the chiefs of the Meteorological Services of Great Britain, France. Russia, and other countries assembled. It was generally acknowledged that the present organization of the United States signal service was superior to that of any other nation. Professor Mascart, chiet of the French Bureau, and Professor Wild, of St. Petersburg, especially expressed their great admiration for our weather service and expressed themselves strongly because they were unable to accomplish a like work from the tact that they lacked a military organization.— Maritime Register. A notable event in the boiler trade of Cleveland was witnessed last Saturday, be- ing the ehipment by the Variety [ron Works, of eight large tubular boilers 65/”x18\ with 54 tubes and with Butman furnaces attached, to the great Washburn mills, Minneapolis, Minn. ‘The long freight train which con- veyed the consignment was decorated with flags. ‘'he amount of the invoice was up- wards of $42,000, and the entire work has been done by the Variety Works since the great lumber fire of last summer which swept thelr works out of existence, In re- building the Variety Co. have made their works one-third larger and have added to their own industries those formerly carried on by Butman Furnace Co, and the manu- facture of railroad frogs and crossings, formerly the business of the Novelty Iron Works,—Trade Review.
