Monstrous Power of Sea Breakers.

Monstrous Power of Sea Breakers.
From experiments made last month at
Bsn Rock and Skerryvole lighthouses, on
tie coast Of Scotland, it was found that
while the force or the breakers on the
side of the German ocean may be taken
at about a ton and half TO every square
foot of exposed surface, the Atlantic
side throws breakers with double that
force, OF three tons to the square foot;
thus surface of only two square yards
sustains blow from heavy Atlantic
breaker equal to ffty-four tons
In March of this year heavy gale
blew for three days and nights at Skerry-
vole, washing out blocks of limestone
and granite of three and five tons weight
as easily as if they had been empty egg
shells, in some cases throwing them en-
tirely over the breakwater at Plymouth.
Over 800 tons of such blocks were washed
800 up the inclined beach after being
thrown over the breakwater and scat
tered about in various directions.
~ One block of limestone, estimated to
be of fifteen tons weight, was moved
over $50 feet from q place in the surf
where it had been firmly grounded since
1897, it having first been rolled in sight
by the awful gale of the ''Windy Christ
mas" of that year. This is quite a high
sea record for 1890, showing that the
gale of March was the worst known Oh
the Scottish coast for 1893 years. Chicago

Black Hiiis Tin Mines.

Joseph Hare, editor of The Tin Miner,
of Hill City, s. D., in speaking Of the tin
mines at that place, says: ''Hill City is
situated exactly in the center of the tin
belt, which is in the shape of q half
moon, aAd is aboutthirty miles in length
and three miles wide. We are twenty
eight miles from Rapid City, the near
est railroad point.
''The richness of these mines is simply
wonderful, and one who has not been
there can hardly believe it, but l state a
fact when tell you that there is enough
tin on the dumps and in sightnow to
supply the United States for five years.
As soon as the big mill is started at Hill
City we shall then be able to ship the
tin out in bars. Some of these mines
have beenspushed down 240 feet, and the
deeper the richer. d"

like young moon on September even

the sun disappears, and may be seen at
monday by observers who know where
to look. The time of her visibility is,
however, lessened by her southern
declination, which shortens her stay
above the horizon. She reaches her
greatest eastern elongation on the 23d,
when she is as far east of the sun as

A Kite Story.

Some fishermen engaged in Belfast
Tough recently picked up a very large
seagull which was seen approaching
the boat with wings outspread, floating
on the water, but quite dead. The men
were puzzled to account for the progress
it made through the water, as it went
faster than the boat; but as it came near
it was found that, wound securely round
the body and under the wings, was a

The Peacock.

It is curious that the habits of so
common a bird should be so little
known. We have been gravely told
that they could not fly. because their
tails were so heavy. But the drollest
and least pardonable misstatement
about peacocks is to be found in
COUGHS Illustration of Instinct, :"
where we are told that
IF surprised by foe, the peacock
erects his gorgeous feathers, and the
enemy beholds creature whose bulk
he estimates by the circumference of
the glittering circle, his attention at
the same time being distracted 10y q
hundred alarming eyes, accompanied
by hiss from the serpent-like head in
the center"
The fact is the peacock closes his
tail at once the moment he is alarmed
and flies off with scream, instead of
stopping to hiss. He will not spread
his tail at ali if under fear; and when
he does spread it, it is either out OF
rivalry with the males, or to attract
the females.

campaign tactics. Outside of his Wig
orous oratory the principal feature of
those tactics was his socks He did
not bring them with him, but the use
he made of them was none the less eff
fective. His habit was to appear on
the platform with his trousers turned
up so that his auditors could see that
ne wore neither stockings nor drawers.
He accounted for their absence by say
ing This is what tariffs and mort
cages brought me to-" At other times,
it is said, he would take off his shoes
to show that he had no socks and re-
mark that things didn't come to him
in carriages"
Sarcasm was his great weapon and
ne INDUCED in rude jokes that tickled
the ears of the rustics. He did not
disdain to feign ignorance when it was
necessary to draw a laugh. Once
having made an allusion 10 Daniel
Webster as the author of the diction-
airy man sitting behind him reminded
him that it was Noah.

The Congressman elect from the

of fancy marriage certificates-glt and
pastebOard affairs, with appropriate
decorations of arrow pierced hearts, Gu
pids, and affectionate turtle-doves.
When they had been sufficiently admired,
the Squire pointed to his records, shelf
full of big ledgers
"Them's ali weddin' records" he said.

"Wall, | suppose you'll be over to-

"No; we're just couple of newspaper
men, too poor to get married"
"Wall, why the dickens didn't you say

visions of fat fee vanished from his
mind.
Nevertheless, local newspaper men
cherish no animosity toward Squire Bob
His Fair play justice-shop is q fertile
source of matrimonial sensations. Three
or four couples from Dubuque Galena,
and the surrounding towns are clan
destinely married there every week, and
dozens OF clipping couples from all parts
OF the country come in by train and
hasten by carriage to the shrine of Squire
Bob, whore there is no tell-tale marriage

Many prominent people in Dubuque
and elsewhere who are now trotting
along sedately in double harness and
bringing up children in the way they
should go were "iined" in holy wedlock
by Squire Bob, and "a Fairplay wedding"
IS standard proverb through all that
section. Many of Squire Allison's we'd
dings have resulted happily, and the
burden of responsibility on his broad
shoulders is probably no heavier than
that of many who are in the marrying
business in a less informal way.
Squire AlliSon's team is a historic out
