The tremendous power of the seq
 waves has been illustrated at Wick
 on the extreme northeast coast ot Scotland, where a breakwater was
 being built. It may give an idea of what wave power really can do. Ii was found that stones of ten tons weight were as pebbles to the waves which have been measured to be fifty feet from the crest to the bottom of the trough. The outer end of the breakwater. where the storm beats most violently, was built of three courses of 100 ton stones, laid on the rubble foundation; next above these were three courses of flat stones, and upon these a mass of concrete, built on the spot, of cement and rubble. The end of the breakwater was thought to be as immovable as the natural rock, yet the resident engi neer saw 1t yield to the force of the waves, and swing around into the troubled waters inside the pier. It gave way. not in fragments, but Tn one mass, as if 1t were @ monolith. The displaced mass is estimated to weigh about 1850 tons.-Mining and Scientific Press.

The question is being seriously
 asked whether the increasing trans fer of iron from the earth's interior
 to its surface, can have any influence upon the weather It seems that, at least, the vast masses Of ron that are being spread out in railways. bridges etc., must affect the electric currents which move about the earth. Per haps the cyclones, becoming more frequent and destructive every year, and which are now recognized as electric storms, may be traced to this cause.-Mining and Scientific Press.
