Power OF Water

| Stevenson, the great engineer, con-
Quoted on the West Coast Of Scotland
series Of experiments to ascertain the
lorce exerted by waves, and he found
the average force for the five summer
months to be GIL pounds per square
foot, and for the six winter months g.
| Oo6 pounds. He mentions that the
Bell Rock Lighthouse, 1l2 feet high, is
sometimes in spray from ground-swells
when no wind Is blowing, and that on
November 20, 1927, the spray was
thrown to a height Of III feet-equiva-
lent to wave pressure of nearly three
tons per square foot; while during a
gale In March, 1945, his dynamometer
registered pressure Of 6,093 pounds
per square foot. lie has also recorded
that rock Of forty-two tons on one OF
the Hebrides was gradually moved 5
| feet IN a storm. Uagan has reported
the moving by waves Of block of con-
crete weighing probably 1875 tons.
Experts swimmers say that the rea-,
son a man cannot long survive in q
choppy or lumpy sea is that the contin-
uai pounding Of the waves against his
BODY uses him up and knocks his wind
out, just as blows from boxers fist

bodies, and comparatively small one

blows heavy enough to quickly exhaust

a short time. Anybody who has been
Knocked over by 4 breaker on the beach
can form some idea Of the weight and
force Of water in motion.
The power Of water under pressure is
more familiar to most persons, as illus
trations are continually TO be seen at
fires IN the effects Of hose streams di-
Ncted against walls and windows. But
to fully appreciate this, one needs to
witness the operation Of hydraulic min
ing in the West. The steam from a
monitor nozzle will tear hill all to
pieces at marvellous rate and wash
away powders like chips. Across the
Washoe Valley III Nevada are laid
pipes to convey water from Marlette
Lake to Virginia City, the depression
in the line being l,720 feet, which gives
q, pressure on the pipes Of 800 pounds to

coming through break in the Joint no
larger than a knitting needle bores
through rock like sand blast. The
flying water is as hard asi ron, and feels

it tears the flesh from the bones, and if

ly turned back, and sometimes torn
loose from the hosh.
The tremendous power of water has
not been utilized to any great extent in
doing the work 1f the world, the tur-
pine wheel, the cotton press and the
hydraulic nozzle being the principal ap-
pliances to which it has been adapted,
but no doubt human ingenuity will one
day devise Il harness for the ocean and
compel the b;llows, that now tear down,
TO aid in building up. Man has not
learned to use half the forces of nature
that are at his hand, clamoring for
work to do, and Of all these unemployed
powers the wave is the most tangible
and dircat in action.

Unusual Precautions Necessary to Gnard

issued to thoroughly disinfect cargoes of
rags arriving at British ports from Egypt.
Sir Charles Dixie, president of the local
government board, in presenting in the Com

viding for the Capitalization of hospital
management in the event of all outbreak of
cholera in London, said the general health
of the country was very satisfactory,
although there was a large mortality among
children in London from diarrhea. Unusual
precautions, he said, would be necessary to
guard against cholera until the expiration of
six weeks, when it is believed the danger
will be passed,

from the Testimony.
CAPETowN, July 3.-O'Donnell, who killed
Carey, the informer, has been committed for
trial on charge of wilful murder In the
ordinary course of events he will be tried at
the Port Elizabeth assizes in October.
At the final examination of O'Donnell a
box was produced, belonging to the prisoner,
labeled 'Capetown," and containing a wood
cut of Carey and paper of American citi-
zenship, dated Toronto, November, 1876"
Carey's son was recalled, and denied that
Kelly, an Irish passenger on the steamer
Kinfauns Castle, was identical with Kava-
nagh. He testified that his father was
smiling and talking to 0'Donnell when
he (the witness) saw the latter draw a revol-
yer and fire one shot He (the witness) then
ran to fetch his fathers revolver His moth
er was holding his father when third shot
was fired.
ODonnell declared that Carey first drew a
revolver, which he (ODonnel) seized and
fired at Carey in self-defense. He described
himself as Patrick O'Donnell, aged forty five,
native of Goodsall, county Donegal, labor
er, formerly butler.

China Considers France Determined on
Annexing AMMAN.
LONDON, Aug. 3-The correspondent at
Hong Kong says negotiations between China
and France regarding Tonquin are at stand
still. The general opinion is that the ag-
gressive policy assumed by Challemei Lacour
end the appointment of Tricou as French
minister to China were unfortunate circum-
stances, and that peaceful solution of the
difficulty is impossible. The Chinese con-
slider that the French are determined upon
the annexation of AMMAN, and they desire
to quarrel with China. The French will be
unable to operate until November. The un-
healthy season is affecting the young men
among the French troops, and the hospitals
are inadequate to accommodate the sick. A
council of war was held on the 9th ult, and
a river attack on Sontay was planned.
Admiral Mayer with three vessels will
shortly proceed to Canton, where he will
make a demonstration. A severe military
censorship is maintained at Hanoi.

"THE QUEENS JEALOUSY"
A Spanish Novel That Was Thought to Hint
of Things Forbidden.

London Truth.
There was recently a hot debate in the
Spanish Cortes which arose out of the sup
preston of novel by the governor of Mad
rid. 1t was entitled "The Queens Jealousy"
His E1EAlncy, the Governor, is an indis-
Greet supporter of the Chrome. When the
author protested that his book had been
ready eighteen months for publication, and,
therefore, could not be charged with making
capital out of recent scandal, the high Off
cial shook his head in sign of non-beief, and
observed that if there were no reprehensble
allusions in the novel, the title was full of
actuality. 1t was, therefore, his duty to make
use of his censorial power. Nobody should
touch the Queen On hearing this an edl-
tor parodied Alphonse Karr's smart saying

Governor of Madrid to intervene CASTELAR,,
Canovas and Sagasta were the principal
speakers. Alluding to certain piquant artl-
cleS in the journal of the former Sagasta de-
clared that if all his countrymen understood
liberty of the press as CASTELAR, did he would
blush to call himself Spaniard and cease to
be one; that liberty was turned to insidious
and invidious account by the eloquent depu-
ty to undermine the basis of the throne In
consequence OF the noise made by the court
party, the reply to this accusation was not
heard.
For my part" says Mr.. Labouchere, II
do not see, if a constitutional king makes
nocturnal rambles in his capital, why the
press should not speak of them. Should he
initiate Haroun al Raschid, and 80 about in
disguise to study the true condition of his
peregrinations the better it will be for his
throne and dynasty. The feeling that he is
watched by reporters, and that a record of
his nightly doings is being industriously
pigeon-h oled by editors must exercise
a wholesome action upon the crowned
pensloner of the nation He is sup
posed to do no wrong but things are so ar
ranged for him by obsequious courtiers, that,
if he is not either a saint or a Spartan, he
must constantly gravitate toward wrong-do-
ing until the appetite for pleasure has used
itself up. Then he becomes irascible and
morose, and slangs his servants and abuses

upbraiding Senior CASTELAR, in Parliament,

wine and lighting the proffered cigars. No
pains were spared to make the 1st of August,
1S83 a capital-letter day in the memory
of the Associated Press.
A beautiful twenty-page programme, with
elegant and appropriate cover design, pens,

each passenger as souvenir
= of the trip; these were also thrown to the
crowds assembled at every station to see the
eleven hours wonder fash by and also to
the regular trains which had been
peremptorily ordered to the side tracks.
1t was a jolly trip. The editors were
fed and refed; they were wined and cigared;
they were brushed and petted by obsequious
walters and employees; general superintend-
ent, or, at least, a passenger agent, was in
every car, explaining the points of local in

ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 3.-Three deaths from
cholera occurred yesterday. Although chol-

no deaths there from it yesterday. The
deaths from cholera in Egypt on Thursday
was 902, including 1876 at Cairo.
The whole gendarmerle Gordon from
Eltaryeh to Rosetta is infected. 1t is
hardly possible Alexandra will escape
the disease. There were several painfully
sudden deaths of ladies on Friday. The
state of old Cairo is still very dangerous.
There are from $50 to 200 deaths in other
quarters OF Cairo daily, despite official de-
malls
