A Nautical Illusion.

Science and common sense are knocking
| out good many old beliefs. There is, for
instance, a belief that ocean waves run
mountain high" Eminent writers in
| their descriptions of storms at sea frequently
speak about waves mountains high" To a
man leaning over the taft rail of ship pay
| ing tribute to Neptune wave may appear as
big as mountains, but the facts are other
wise according to an article on Great
Ocean Waves" by W. j. Henderson in
the st. Nicholas magazine for September.
The writer quotes an eminent nautical
authority, Lieut. Qualthrough, who says:
"We flud reports of nights of 100 feet
from hollow to crest. but no verified meas
urcment exists of hight half as great as
this. The highest reliable measurements
are from A to As feet-in itself very re-
markable hight Waves having a greater
height than thirty feet are not often en-
countered." The "tidal wave" which has
swept over vessels in disasters exists only as
figure of speech, Mr.. Henderson asserts,
and, like the smoking revolver, the lurld
glare, the dull, sickening thud. the bounti-
full repast, the sumptuous collation., the
uuleb WeullUR, bue numerous anu COSuly
presents, should be tabooed in newspaper
accounts.
What is called tidal wave" is merely a
group of three or four waves considerably
larger than the others, and these are caused
by the increased force of the wind in
squalls which are a feature in every big
storm. These waves travel according to
their size, the bigger the faster, from nine
teen TO thirty.two knots an hour When
these monster waves overtake a slower
wave, and vessel strikes them just
as they come together, there is
a fearful crash forward, accompanied
by deluge, and the interesting fact is en-
tered in the log that the ship has been
struck by ''tidal wave" The same mis-
take, we are told is made in regard to
earthquake waves, caused by subterranean
commissions, which carry death and destruc-
tion in their path. The real, genuine tidal
wave" Mr.. Henderson says, sis harmless
and indeed benelcent provision Of nature, %
but while II may be- expunged from nautical
pbraseology as incorrect and misleading in
applying IL 70 marine mishapsit " Ill alw Us
remain fayorite expression in the political
vocabulary Of the times.

The Old Way the Best.

While you may not witness any direct act of
cruelty toward the negro roustabouts on Mis-
sissippi river steamer by the mate, you can't
help but expect it every time the boat makes a
landing. He is always provided with stick or
cane. and the way he flourishes 1t and curses the
hands is enough to drive nervous person TO his
stateroom | was talking of this to a mate one
day, AMI he told me of an incident that hap
pened on the Robert E. Lee, relates a writer in
the New York Sun. One of the owners of the
boat happened to see the mate strike a hand,
and he made such fuss about it that the cap
tain promised change of programme from
Vlcksburg down. The mate was told how to
demean himself, and when the boat swung out
he was as gentle as lamb Before she made
her first landing he had on plug hat, dress
coat, aad gloves, and was smoking a dainty
cigar. AS the steamer swung in to take on 200
bags of cotton seed at a plantation the mate
quietly ordered
please get out them bow and stern lines.
Please hurry up with that gang plank. Now,
gentlemen, bring on them bags"
The hands looked at him in great astonish-
ment, consumed double time in making fast,
and when all were ashore went into convention
to discuss matters.
Here vou-what's the matter there?" called
the captain.
.'Gwine to quit, replied one Of them.
'Quit! What for?'
''Sunthin' wrong wild de Lee on dis trip,
Cap'n. She's gwine to blow up or strike a
snag.'
''What makes you thi X SOP
LOOK at de mate, sab. Sunthin' wrong dar
-sunthin' mighty wrong. When a mate stop
dat cussn' sunthin' gwine ter break"
The owner was consulted and he said it was
possible he had taken a wrong view of the
case. AS test, the mate might go back to old
tactics.
Here, you black d. wills" shouted the mate,
as he peeled off his finery and grabbed a club,
git along now; up with them bags; hi! there,
Kenben; walk your heels; tote that seed; cuss
your livers, but don't be four minutes at this
landing or I'll murder every black devil of you -
Oats mo- like-dat's ole talk" shouted the
crowd, and in three minutes and half the boat
swung out.
