WAVES MOVE FAST
Average Speed of More Than
Forty Miles an Hour.
Fortunately, Their Velocity and Power
Are Materially Reduced as
They Near the Shore.
When the wind blows fiercely most
dwellers in towns, particularly 1i
those near the sea, think of them
selves what a stormy time our ships
and sailors must be having, says a
writer in a London paper, according
to the Montreal Herald.
Storm-waves around the shores of
these Islands frequently have immense
force behind them, treating blocks of
stone and heavy timbers as playthings,
smashing like match sticks apparently
the most substantial obstacles.
During one storm in the Solent, near
Hurst castle, the waves exerted such
force ninety feet below the surface
that stones weighing 300 pounds or
more were torn from their resting
places and hurled on the beach, to
gether with heavy masses of seaweed
attached to them.
It is in the deep ocean where the
storm-wave is seen in its full majesty.
Forty, fifty and even sixty feet is the
height to which the billows of the At
lantic, the Indian ocean, and the
Southern will rise in times of tempest. I
In pre-steam days a British man-of
war encountered an unusually heavy
gale of wind just outside the Bay of
Biscay. Between two seas her storm
trysails were totally becalmed, while
the crest of each sea was above the
level of the center of her mainyard.
The malnyard was sixty feet above the
water-line.
The water from a wave-as distinct t
from the body of the wave itself-has I
been known to do serious damage to
vessels of great height above the deck.
One notable instance of the kind was
the smashing of the port lifeboat of a H
Bamburg-American liner, lashed on"
the bridge deck eighty feet above the
asline c
Giant storm-waves of the ocean have b
an average speed of rather more than b
forty miles an hour. Their length is
the distance from crest to crest. This
Is about 400 feet for the Atlantic
waves. It is much more, however, for
the waves of the profoundly deep
Paclac ocean.
Of course, it has to be remembered T
that giant waves in the open ocean b
can move with perfect freedom. It is
when they begin to "touch bottom" in o
comparatively shallow water that e:
their great speed is reduced-luckily a
for the fronts of the British coast ti
resorts. I
The velocity of the storm-wind in 1(
the Atlantic is frequently several miles I
as hour greater than the velocity of w
the wave. This results in a good deal
of spraying, which, in very severe
weather, sometimes seriously thickens
and obscures the air. al
At the seaside in summer we may s
semetimes see spraying caused by a a
stiff breese blowing against an advane- p
tg wavelet. a
Durlng a gale on the British coast It at
will be noticed that the waves begin 6
to break a long way out. That Is be- a
eame these waves, being big ones, hi
teuch bottom the sooner. Their lowera
part moves forward at Its old speed. B
The result is that the upper part
curs over and breaks
In very deep water a giant wave has
been known to touch bottom and stlr th

On a fine autumn day we may some- se
times see a preession of big "ground hi

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN

The Best Test of a Play.
If I were a dramatist I would tel
the plots of my plays to a child un
der nine years old. If his interest
wavered. I would despair; If I could
hold him wide-eyed, I should hope.
Moller chose his cook for such a pur
pose-be sure she had the child-like
mind. It is in the hour before or
after bedtime that you will find our
critic most receptive. You have in
him then a frst-night audience, and
his "Go on'-what happened then?'
will be your best applause.-W. L.
Letts in the Yale Review.
Ancients' Wisdom.
A great civilization flourished in the
valley of the Nile some 3000 B. C.
These Egyptians worshiped the dung
beetle, the scarabeus. possibly recog
nizing its scavenging powers. The well
of Joseph, near the great pyramid. is
excavated through nearly 300 feet of
solid rock. The ancient Hebrews were
the founders of real public health. The
laws of Moses, who was born about
1000 B. C., the first hygienic code
known, apply about as well today as
when first promulgated.
Shackle for Prisoners.
When it is necessary to take crlmt
al on long journeys by train coon
stant vigilance is required to prevent
attempts to escape. Now, however,
Popular Mechanics Magazine describes
a shackle which should discourage
this quite effectively. It consists of a
50pound steel ring which fits loosely
around the ankle and a separate steel
housing that goes under the foot and
supports the weight of the ring when
the wearer Is sitting or standing still
John Woolman.
He believed that love could reach
the witness for itself in the hearts of
all men through all entanglements of
custom and every barrier of pride and
selshness. . . . The event justified
his confidence; wherever he went,
hard hearts were softened, avarice
and love of power and pride of opinioa

"War Paint" Comem Seen.
One of the very earliest lowers to
appear above the carpet of leaves of
a bygone year, says the Americean
rorestry Magaznlae, is the bloodroot,
so named because of the reddish jutee
which exudes from the stemo and
root-stocks when they are injured and
which was at one time used by the
aborlgnal tribes as war-palat.

S Kipling as a Stret Musician.
Kipling's verse, even where it is not
slang. is rarely poetry. but it is, for
the most part. clean and neat in its
rhythmical swing, well adapted for the
purposes of the music halls, easy to
remember, even without tune, praise
worthy in its control of the means of
clarity, and, in short, a genuine article
of its kind. . . Kipling is like a
practised musician In that strange
orchestra which we sometimes see in
the street, clinging around one per
former; he nods his head, and the
bells tinkle about his pagoda-shaped
hat; he stamps his foot, and the drum
stick bangs the drum and sets the
cymbals clapping on his back, and all
the while he is playing the concertina
with both his hands and perhaps blow
ing into a panpipe with his mouth.
-Arthur Symons, in London Quarterly
Review.
Quaint Custom.
A quaint custom is still maintained
in one of the old streets off the Strand,
the London Times reports. This is the
burning of a light in the hall of one of
the houses all through the night when
everybody is abed. This light has a
history, and marks an ancient privilege
and bygone right-of-way. The light is
maintained by the Westminster council
and not by the tenants of the house.
The lamp-lighter enters at twilight and
kindles the light, and on his round in
the early morning he re-enters with a
latchkey and extinguishes It The light
is the remaining symbol of a right-of.

These cash prizes were donated by
Mr. Alexander because in the previous
contest for scholarships to the Sum
mer School of Forestry. the girls could
not enter. that school being for males.
The essays submitted in the contests
evince close study of the subject of
forestry and an intimate knowledge of
conditions, and the urgent need of con
servation.
