Height Of. the Atlantic Waves

In an article in AppietOn's Mechanics

find statement of some expeI imenis which
were made TO- determine The height OF the

three feet above the line Of Hota,ion Of the
ship, he found almost every wave rising so
much above the level Of the eye as Indicated
by the intercepting Of the horizon ofihe direc-
lion in which they approached, as to yield
tie minimum elevation, and to show that the
greet majority Of these rolling masses Of water
possessed height Of considerably more than
twenty four feet, including depression as
well as altitude,) or, reckoning from the mean
level Of the sea, Of more than twelve feet.
Passing thence 10 the larbosrd paddle boz
which gave an elevation altogether of thirty
feet for the level Of the view then obtained,
the writer found al least one half OF the
waves which overlook aud passed the ship
were above the level Of his eye. Frequent.
ly. on one or both sides OF the ship-the sea
then coming nearly right aft-rose SO high
above the visible horizon as to form an angle
of Two and hall degrees when the waves
summit was about hundred, yards distunt.
This would add near thirteen feet to the
level of the eye. Sometimes crests of break
ing seas would shoot upwards a, least ten Or
fifteen feet higher. rt r.1 &.
The writer estimates the AVERAGE wave
as fully equal in height TO his view on the
paddle box, or fifteen feet above the level of
the sea, and the mean highest waves not
including crests, about forty three feet above
the level Of the hollow occupied Al the mo-

The interval Of time between wave and
wave was on an average about sixteen Sec

estimated from the length Of time they were
passing from stern 10 stem of he ship, was
about five hundred and sixty feet
The ship was going at the rate of nine

It would probably produce 100 bushels; and
Thus the extra cost would he only one cent on
a bushel, and perhaps, far better than this,
