VAGARIES Of cTHE' TIDE.
Mysterious Currents, the Secrets of
Which No Qno Has Solved.
There are as many vagaries In the
waters aa In the wlpda. Why, for th-
eta nee, should great ocean currents
send their warm waters peruse the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist la
well nigh all parts of the world. - \
It Is on record that tho aaaT has run
for weeks out of the Java sea. through
tbe strait of Sunda and thence back
again for a Ilka period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times. ... -
Then there is the equatorial current’
that flows Into the Caribbean tea, the -
ever flowing current to tbo eastward
around Cape—Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the Icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast .
to tba extreme end o$ Florida. £Jbe
continual current running with a ve
loclty of from fonr to five knots an
hour through tbe strait of Gibraltar
Into tbe Mediterranean sea. tbe nwlft
current running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of BlIIITOn Island,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends some where In thte vicinity of
the same place, and tbe current which,
starting halfway up the China aea.
runs from two to three knota an hour
to tbe nortbenat and Anally enda ab-
ruptly off tbe north end of T.nzon.
Then wo have those tidal vagaries
known tbo world over aa horea. Those
that run up tho Hugl} .and Jrawadl
rivers, from aide to aid*, till thay reach
tbeir limit often tearing tbo Ship*
fjrom tbeir anchorage, originate nobody '
knows where or why. v f

Texas needs a billion dBllsro for
factories. Th# amount seems larfca
but it would require an immediate
investment of that amount to man-
ufacture tbe raw material now being
•hipped out of the state and we
have only one-fifth of our land under
cultivation and our minerals are
practically untouehed. ’*”>
A good way to encourage factory
investments in Texas ia to patronize
home industries. Home patroriage
would result in flooding our pres-
ent plants with orders and would re-
quire additional factories to take
care of the business.

commendable but we should not for-
get that the man with money is the
prime factor in our development and
by no known process of economic*
can we eliminate him froan^a trans-
action. We can propose, but he dis-
poses. We can submit our financial
propositions^ for his consideration,
but the man with money passes final
judgment and from his decision
thera is no appeal. He is the final
Judge. This may be unfortunate
and humiliating but it ia nevethe-
