One of the many duties undertaken
by the United States coast and geo
detic survey, which furnishes official
information about our sea const and
harbors for the use of mariners plying
these waters, Is that of predicting tho
tides at any given station at any time
in the future. To gain this Informa
tion a new machine of a very compli
cated nature has Just been constructed
by the bureau and placed In operation
in the headquarters at Washington.
The tide levels for a year can be ob
tained in from ten to fifteen hours for
any station. To the layman the ma
chine appears to be a mass of little
wheels,, knobs, cranks, chains and
glittering brass indicators, but the
new superintendent of the bureau, Or.
K. Lester Jones, explains the functions
of each part and finally arrives at the
roll of paper on one end on which two
fountain pens are drawing lines. Ono
of these draws a line about the middle
of the roll which represents the mean
sea level while the the other draws n
vurylng line which represents the
tido. From this graphic record,
which Is 370 feet long and about six
Inches wide, representing the tides for
a year, the tide level at any time fn
that period can bo readily ascertained.
Shooting Civilians.
According to the laws of war, any
civilian who Is found with arms in
bis possession Is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very severe rule, It Is absolutely nec
essary for the safeguarding of tho
whole civil population.
' The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. If It
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger
ents. If this were allowed, therefore,
Invading troops would safeguard them
selves aaalnBt surprises by . killing
every man In villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule la so stringent
that even a noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to bo shot.
