THE CHANGING TIDES
Causes That Contribute to the Bise
and Fall of the Ocean
Many people regard the rise and fall
of the ocean as a profound and baffling
mystery.
The mystery really is not very hard
to understand. As all know, the
surface of the ocean rises and falls
twice in every lunar day, this rise ap
pearing along a coast to be a horizon
tal motion—always ebbing or flowing.
Now, the lunar day consists of about
twenty-five hours. Thus, of course, tha
"time"' of the tides varies each day.
The tides, moreover, do not always rise
to the same height. Every fortnight,
with the new and full moon, they rise
very much higher than at other times.
These high tides are called "spring"
tides, the alternating low tides being
termed "neap." When the moon is
nearest to the earth the rise and fall
of the ocean are markedly increased.
Thus the spring tides are" greatest at
the equinoxes—i. e., at the end of
March and the end of September.
Yes, you say, but what has the moon
to do with it aJlf Surely it is the
sun which attracts the earth.
That is so. But, although the sun's
attraction on the earth is far greater
than the moon's, the moon is so very
much nearer to the earth that the dif
ference between its attraction at the
center and on the surface is throe
times as great as the sun's. And it is
this difference which causes tides.—

MERCURY TO FALL
TO ZER 0 TO-NIGHT
Cvntlnnrd From Pint Pas*-
degrees is unusual, tout the current has
been retarded by the dam being con
structed in the river and no compari
sons can toe made to former years.
Formerly it took a protracted cold" spell
of considerably belww freezing or a drop
in temperature to zero.
"The area of frozen surface will
increase greatly to-night and the
streams of the system will become gen
erally icebound," said E. R. Demain,
local weather forecaster, in speaking
of the river conditions.
Fall in Temperature Steady
There was a steady fall in tempera
ture beginning yesterday shortly after
noon, when the maximum tem[>erature
was registered at 36. The S p. m. read
ing of the thermometer atop the Fed
eral building showed 16 dajrees. At
11 o 'clock the mercury luad fallen to
9 degrees following a steady fall, until
it rcuohed 4 degrees. It remained at
'that stage until after 8 o'cJock this
morning.
Weather bureau officials were a trifle
loath iu forecasting a cold wave for
Harrisburg last night, believing that
Sunday's storm would linger and
cause higher temperatures, but instead
the storm went off into the Canadian
maritime provinces ami the cold from
the central high pressure area came
close to The zero mark
tlhis morning is midway between Har
ristourg and Pittsburgh, zero tempera
tures toeing experienced witihin a hun
dred miles of this city in exposed
places.
Came on Heels of Snow Storm
The cold, coming as it did on the
heels of five inches of snow w'hich later
became slush when the snow turned
to rain, froze the ground covering.
Making perilou* walking. Sleighing,
however, was excellent, but few took
advantage of it. Outside hydrants froze
up as a result of tihe cold. CoaJ men
did a rushing business yesterday,
even-body being anxious to get in "a
supply of black diamonds for the cold
spell.
Although the drop in temperature
was sudden there were comparatively
few homeless men to be taken care <k
last night. The quarters of the Salva
tion Army were sought out by many
men without pflae-es to go, but there
were only nineteen applicants for a
warm place to sleep at police headquar
ters. 1
On many wanner nights the police
men have been asked to care for as
many as thirty in one night. Stoves
were kept going all nigihtt in many in
stances, but there were no fires report
ed. This is very unusual, for overheat
ed chimneys cause fires during most ev
ery cold spell during the winter in'
this city.
So far little damage has been done
by the frozen snow and rain. The
greatest inconvenience was caused by
frozen moisture clinging to w'ires and
clogging switches. Employes of the
Harrisburg Railways Company were
employed throughout the nigh* keeping
the switches open.
Injured in Falling on Ice
Two other persons have suffered pain
ful injuries from falls on the ice. Mrs.
Annie Evans, 250 Hummel ?itreet, fell
last night at Nectarine and Kittathiny
streets and fractured her left allele.
She was admitted to the Harrisburg
hospital. Harry Herzog, 311 South
River street, an employe of the Adams
Express Company, slipped on the ice
while unloading trunks this morning
and fractured his right arm at the
shoulder. He was treated at the Har
risburg hospital.
The crispness in the weather added
zest to the Christmas shoppers, man"
of whom caiiie out to-day for a trip
through the stores.
According to the Weather Bureau offi
cials in Washington, two more days
of extreme cold weather can be looked,
for, as the region of the countrv af
fected to-day by the cold wave was the
entire section of the country east of
the Mississippi, where the coldest
weabher of the season prevailed in most
every State. This entire section of the
country, except in Florida, where rain
fell, and the lake region, where it was
still snowing this morning, was fair.

one of rhe most sudden ex|>ericnced in !
New York in many years, sent the uier- i
cury down* to 12 degrees early to-day !
and the forecast indicated that it might j
reach zero before night. A strong west-1

the air and drove hundreds of homeless j
men into public* and private shelter!
last night.
Many steamships and smaller craft

Philadelphia Not So Cold
Philadelphia, Dec. 15.—The first real
cold weather of the winter brought
zero temperature to-day in the moun
tain districts of Pennsylvania. In the
mountain regions the temperature fell
to four below zero. In Philadelphia
the Weather Bureau reported a mini
mum of 13 degrees above zero and
about the same temperature was re
ported in New Jersev and Delaware.

mines was not hampered to any ex
tent. The mine workers have' been
hoping for a change in temperature so
as to stimulate the anthracite trade
which was sombwhat dull on account of
the mine conditions up last week.
Cold Brings Demand for Coal
Beading, Dec. 15.—A great and urg

EULTAN FORCED INTO WAR
WHEN FLEET IS ATTACKED
London, Dec. 15, 6.27 A. M.—A
dispatch to Reuter'B Telegram Com
pany from Constantinople by way of
Amsterdam gives the gist of the speech
from the throne by Sulton Mehmed V
at the opening of the Turkish parlia
ment Monday. The Sultan announced
that he was forced to declare war when
the Russian fleet attacked the Turkish
fleet in the Black Sea and England and
France began actual hostilities by send
ing troops to the Turkish frontiers.
"The necessity was forced upon us
to resist with armed force the policy
of destruction which at all times has
been pursued against the Islamite
world by England, Russia and Franco
and which has assumed the character
of religious persecution," the Sultan
deelnred.
"In consonance with the Fetwa
(Sacred Moslem law) I called all Mos
lems to a Holy war against these Pow
ers and those who help them. I am con
vinced that our forces on land and soa
will add fresh victories to those gained
by the glorious armies of Germany and
Austria-Hungary against the common
enemies.
"I can state with must satisfaction
that our relations with the Powers
which have not participated in the gen
eral war are sincerely friendly and es
pecially with our neighbor, Bulgaria."
The Sultan made a brief reference to
the abrogation of the capitulations and
in giving tho cause for this step said:
"The special privileges which our gov
ernment has heretofore granted for
eigners had assumed a shape detri
mental to our rights of sovereignty."
WOMAN'S TERRIBLE TALES
OF ESCAPE FROM BELGIUM
Washington, Dec. 15. —Graphic de
tails of conditions iti Belgium ure giv
en in a letter received from a titled
lady of Belgium to her uncle in this
country made public by James White
ley, secretary-general of the Belgium
Relief Fund. The letter says in part:
"I had to escape on foot from our
chateau on the banks of the Meuse
which was bombarded by the enemy.
After a terrible journey we have found
a refuge in England where we await
the end of this terrible war. We were
joined here by Mr. X. who arrived by
one of the last boats to leave Ostend.
Twenty thousand persons fleeing from
the Prussians were crushed together,
trying to board the last boats. Panics
and frightful rushes took place. He
saw children crushed, women killed and
men falling into the water. The Bel
gians have shown wonderful valour
and courage but the whole of Belgium
is in ruins; not a corner has escaped;
there is not a family which is not in
mourning and in tears. Tho city of
Dinant on the Meuse which, as you
know is near our chateau, has been en
tirely destroyed."
GERMAN CRUISER GIVEN 24
HOURS TO LEAVE OR INTERNE
Washington, Dec. 15. —Arrival of
the German converted yruiser Cormor
an in the harbor of (tuani, an American
possession in the Ladrone Archipelago,
was officially reported to the Navy De
partment to-day by the commandant of
the naval station there. It is pre
sumed the German vessel sought the
Guam harbor to interne during the war.
The Cormoran has been given 24
hours from 10 a. m. yesterday in which
to leave the port or interne for the
war. She was short of coal, provisions
and water.
The Cormoran needed 1,500 tons of
coal to reach the nearest German port
according to Captain W. J. Maxwell,
naval governor of Guam. She was of
fered 100 tons of coal and fresh water
and her captain was given until 10 a.
ill. to-day (Guam time) to decide what
his future course would be. Secretary
Daniels has approved Captain Max
well's action and has instructed him
not to allow the vessel more coal and
provisions than can be properly spared.
Naval officers here believe "the Cor
moran, although described as a convert
ed cruiser, is really the unprotected
cruiser of that name, a sister ship of
the (icier, interned at Honolulu several
weeks ago. Mystery has surrounded
the whereabouts of the ship for several
weeks. She was known to have been
before Kiachow during the early part
of the war when the Japanese attacked
that port and later was reported sunk
in Oriental waters.
HOPED TO MEET ENGLISHMEN
AT THE BOTTOM OK THE SEA
Berlin, Dec. 14, 11 I'. M., via Lon

Count Von Spee before his de<parture
for the Orient two years ago to com
mand the cjruiser squadron, relative
to what he should do in case oif war.
Admiral Von Spee was in command
of tflie German squadron, four vessels
of Which were sunk by the British
warships under Vice Admiral Sir
Frederick Sturdee in the South Atlan
tic. In reply to the query Count Von
Spee said: "I hope to meet many Eng

GERMANS STOP SWEDISH SHIP
AN I) TAKE H ER To S WINEMUNDE
Stockholm, Via London, Dec. 15, 3.37
A- M.—The Swedish steamer Ludvig
Peyron, bound to Stockholm from Lon
don, was stopped Sunday *>y Germans
and taken into Swinemunde. The
Bteamship company, therefore, has or
dered all its steamers to stop at Hels
ingtberg, Sweden, instead of entering
the Baltic when coining from the North
sea, as such steamers run the risk'of
being captured.
This is the first steamer to be stopped
when coming from the North sea and
seemingly indicates a new German
method of action.

RIEGEL HAS NO PLAN TO SUE
Hasn't Decided Whether to Accept Re
duced Pay for Work as Auditor
Francis W. Riegel, one of tho Dau
phin epunty auditors, none of whonn has
as yet been paid for his work of com
piling the 1913 audit recently tiled
with tho court, to-day asked the news
papers to say for him:
"I have no intention at present to
bring court action to compel the Coun
ty Commissioners to pay me for my
work.''
Mr. Riegel presented a bill to the
Commissioners in wh»ch lie made a
charge for 93 days services at $3 a
day and mileage for 1,512 miles or;
$30.72, making a total of $3(19.72.
The Commissioners later made Mr.;
Riegel an offere to settle with him by
deducting twenty-eight days from the
charge, or SB4. The auditor now says: ;
"I have not made up my mind
whether I will accept that money. 1
do not intend to spend any more money i
for carfare or otherwise in trying to j
get what I earned, and I now have no j
intention of taking the matter to
court.''
TO POSTPONE ASSESSMENT PLAN
Some of the Commissioners Believe
Proposal Impracticable for 1815
City Commissioners who have been,
quoted as saying they regard as im- j
possible the proposal to double the to
tal assessment of the real estate in tjie I
city during the 1915, tri-ennial assess-;
ment year, to-day stated that it is I
their hope that the plan can be carried J
out ultimately.
The most difficult part of the whole j
plan, some of the Commissioners point I
ed out to-day, is to make a close in' i
spection of each property. That could
not be done in one year, it is held by I
some, and the tentative plan is to make)
such arrangements as will facilitate !
making a general increase in the as- j
sessed valuation by the time the tri- j
ennial assessment is made three years'
