HAVOC OF GREAT WAVES.


rhey Are the Products of Powerful
Downward Currents.
The sea has in store one danger
that the landsman never sees. Like
the voyager he may receive a visit
from cyclone but he knows nothing
of the power and terror of great
waves. Uniting in themselves the
force of a food and that OF tornado
they are appalling and resistless.
The experience Of the Normania
which suffered severe damage. is
from visit of one of those monsters
of the deep says the Rochester
Courier and Advertiser. and recalls
that of other vessels. But this wave
was slight compared with the waves
that they have encountered While 1T
injured only several of the Normanias
crew. the wave that struck the Italian
bark Rosina in October. 1888, swept
every man aboard but one into tho
sea; he escaped only because he was
an invalid below. A hundred per-
sons lost their lives from the wave
encountered by the steamer San Fran
cisco in December, 1852.
The height of these waves can
hardly be realized. The one en-
countered by the Umbria five years
ago rose to the top of her masthead
fifty feet above the sea. Several
waves measured by Captain Riddle OF
the Celtic. In January. 1875. rose to
the height of seventy feet and moved
at the rate OF twenty-five miles an
hour. Equally high waves were OBJ
served by Admiral Fitzroy Of the
English navy off the Cape of Good
Hope. The appalling height of 100
feet was reached by the waves that
Dumont d Urville saw in the Southern
sea.
OF course nothing could Withstand
the weight and force of these masses
OF water. Under them the most pow
erful vessel ever built would scarcely
be more than an egg she'll There is
no doubt that many OF the ships that
have gone down to sea never to re-
turn have fallen victims of their pitt
less and reslstless force.
AS to the origin of tho great waves
there has of late been some interest
ing speculation. 1t has been discov-
cred that they are confined to the tenn
perate ATTITUDES
In these ATTITUDES, it has been dis
covered further that the surface OF
the ocean is often struck during storms
by powerful downward currents. The
conclusion is drawn from these two
facts that the waves in question were
drawn from these two facts that the
waves in question were the products
of these vertical currents. Students
of the subject claim in support of this
conclusion that the most powerful
wind blowing over the surface OF the
sea could not raise a crest above twen-
ty-fye feet

At the time the band went out {.

up his head and shifted and snorted.
The horns let fly again. The bull
turned and rushed wildly toward tho

Dawn was just breaking when we
heard the splash of oars coming down
the river, and presently we saw boat,
or rather raft, coming down pro-
PEELED by four or five native oarsmen
and with two other men on board
There was also something chained to a
short mast near the center AS this
raft came in sight this something gave
n long, melancholy cry, low and pierre
ing, which Won instant reply from the
shore by IL perfect howl from the
crowd of apes we had encountered,
which came rushing out of the under
growth lining the bank rs if they had
lain in wait for the appearance of the
raft
'"They paused for moment on
reaching the water. but the pause was
only for breath, and the whole party
were in the river swimming for the
raft. The oarsmen, seeing them,
stopped rowing, and, turning to the
other men, called to them to unite the
ape at the mast. This they evidently
refused TO do, and the next moment
the foremost of the rescuing party
reached the boat and was just in the
act OF leaping aboard when one of the
men struck at him with an oar.
He fell back, but as he did so
twenty of his mates sprang on and
rushing at the fellow struck him over
the head with their clubs could see
the blood and brains spout six feet or
more, and the next moment the corpse,
horribly mutilated, was tossed into the
stream.
1--WE looked to see the other men
killed also, but with great presence of
mind one of them ran, and, cutting the
rope that held the captive, dragged it
to the edge of the raft and pushed it
over into the water. One of the apes
saw IL as it struck and instantly raised
Il cry that caused the rest to pause
when they saw their companion strik-
ing out for the shore.
They followed at once, clearing the
raft in twinlkling of an eye. Gaining
the bank they set off for the woods at
Il run and were soon out of sight. See
ing the raft was going our way, we
hailed it and soon completed an ar
rangement with the men to take us ON
to the coast.
1--WE learned from the survivor that
he and his companion had been en-
ployed by the proprietor of menagerie

Recently Mrs. Matte Fenner, whose
husband owns small farm near
Leachs swamp, was attracted by the
continued barking of n strange dog.
Upon the approach of Mrs Fenner it
crouched at her feet, as though having
something to communicate. The lady
tried to take the dog to- the house, but
it refused to stir in any path except a
narrow, muddy one that led directly to
the swamp. Mrs. Fenner got her hus-
bands boots and struck out on the
dogs trail After going about a mile
she was suddenly brought to a halt by
the sight of mans head and shoulders
protruding from the black, Shiny, mud.
The head was bent back, eyes closed,
and the face black. His right arm was

the other resting in the mud. The
brave woman struggled into the mud
to ascertain If the man was living.

strength to regain the path. She re-

the old chap did not seem to take my
