The Force of Waves.

To appreciate wave force and what may
be termed the throwing power of wave
let it be understood that in the winter OF
1860, at Bishops Rock Lighthouse, the
bell was torn from its fastenings, although
situated 100 feet above high water mark.
AT INST, in the Shetland Islands, door
was burst in at hight of 1876 feet above
the level of the sea. The most wonderful
effects of wave force recorded were wit
messed at Wick Harbor Break water
Blocks weighing from five 10 ten tons
were built in above the line of high wa
ter, first with hydraulic lime, then with
Roman and last with Portland cement
This great work was considered by the
most learned engineers in England to be
capable of withstanding the assaults of
the ocean for ages, but in October, 1864,
over 300 feet of this giant barrier was
swept away. In 1872 monolithic block,
weighing 1850 tons, was lifted bodily and
carried away to leeward of the breakwa-
ter, and in 1873 another and heavier con-
crete mass, weighing $500 tons, which
had replaced the former, was swept away
intact and carried to point equally dis
tant The marine dynamometer, for
measuring the force of waves against an
obstacle, was invented by Thomas Ste
venson, and one of the results obtained
was at SkerryvoIe Lighthouse, in the At
Iantic, where force of 6,0S3 pounds per
square was measured. At Dunbar force
of three and half tons per square foot
was recently registered!

THE "WRITE-UP" EPIDEMIC.
How 1t Took Hold of the Town of
Yuma.
From the Yuma Times.l

From the Yuma Times.l
Every town, sooner or later, passes
through what may be termed the write
up" period. This may be ex Explained briefly
as laudatory descriptions specially pre-
pared for outside periodicals OF more or
less circulation and influence. Ennis
saries are out constantly for these institu-
tions, working up business. For from S25
to $500 a town can get "write-up" in
which truth is ignored and mangled to an
extent which would satisfy the father of
lies. The writers will simply say any
thing that they are paid to say.
The excuse for this sort of thing is that
it advertises the place. There can be no
gainsaying the proposition that the place
gets advertised, but whether it is to any
advantage is another question.
Yuma has just passed through the usual
experience, and most of our citizens are
now kicking themselves and wondering
how they could be so easily taken in.
Last winter J. B. Mccarthy of Denver
struck the town, and wanted to write it
up for the Rocky Mountain Neics. He
succeeded in getting 500. OF his produc-
ton it is only necessary to say that most
OF the papers containing 1t are still lying
in the express Office.
The San Francisco Chronicle soon after
got considerable advertising here on the
strength Of "write-up" to their holiday
edition. When the said edition came out
it had just fourteen lines of reference to
Yuma, which contained the extraordi-
nary statement that large, sea-going ves-
sells came up the river to this point
Along in the spring the ArGz0nd Mdgd-
zlne struck the town. About one hun
dred cash subscribers were obtained and
two advertising contracts fS25 per month
each, beside numerous smaller amounts.
The Town Council was going to give two
town lots and the Supervisors subscribed
for twenty-five copies. After the issu-
ance of the second number of the "maga-
zine'' cloud of disgust began to gather
which could be cut with knife. The
third number led to open revolt and re-
fuSal to pay on the part of the advertisers.
Then the 4ATtz07t0 Magazine was packed
in couple of cigar boxes and taken to
Phoenix. This advertising experiment
cost the community several hundred dol
lars with no return. About four hun
dred copies of the last number of the
magazine are still lying in the express
office with tag for $50 30 charges.
Then the Illustrated Californian Adqo-
zine pulled our legs. We were to have an
elaborately illustrated 'write-up" at an
expense of $500. Numerous subscribers
were also obtained, and good many have
not yet received anything for their
money. The promised article has not
appeared. The write-up experience of
the town during the present year has cost
over 81 200. In the meantime the local
papers have been struggling along. gave
every body putfs without pay who asked
for them and took their periodical cuss-
ings with meekness. And still people go
on and wonder why it is that Yuma can
not have decent local newspaper instead
of the two jim-crow sheets now printed
here.

MIGRANTS.
What Should Be Done With the Pro-
fesSional Glass.
ITnlara REGISTER

feSSional Glass.
[Tulare Register.l
What shall be done with the professional
vagrants? The first object to be at
tanned should be to protect society against
the depredations of this army of wander
ers, and the only way TO bring this about
is to put stop to their wandering. The
second object should be to afford them an
opportunity to become useful, and this,
also, can only be accomplished by shut
ting them up. Imprisoning them in a
state of idleness protects society for the
time being but gives no opportunity for
reform. Working the men on State high
ways would necesSitate camp life, which
would not be conducive to good disci
pline or the employment of reformatory
measures. Counties cannot afford the
requisite machinery for doing the work
which needs to be done, and if one
county has an Institution and another has
not the county which has gets no tramps
and the county which has not is overrun
with them. 1t is State question and the
State must take hold of it.
Our suggestion is that California needs
a State reform school for petty adult
offenders and professional vagrants. A
section of $40 acres of good agricultural
land suited TO a wide range of products
and located as near as practicable to the
principal State institutions, with convent
ent means of transportation, should be
purchased by the State. A high fence
should be built around, strictly military
rule applied, and all the professional
tramps and petty offenders of the State
placed there instead of in county jails.

SUPT. HUNTS POSITION.

AS some of the local papers have
seen fit to publish statements taken
from some of the twin city papers,
grossly misrepresenting Supt, Hunt of
the Minnesota State Exhibit at the
worlds fair, the FREE PRESS feels
that it is but just to Mr.. Hunt that
his letter in regard to the matter,
which we clip from the Minneapolis
Tribune, August Sd, be given in full:
Editor Of the Tribune: In Tues
day mornings issue l notice, under
somewhat striking headlines, an
article from yourJackson Park CORES
pendent which conveys the startling
intelligence that there is another row
in the Woman's Auxiliary Board. Had
the article been confined to the
woman's department, and [ could
have been allowed to remain unher-
aided, should continue to maintain
silence, as [ have done throughout
the newspaper discussions which have
been going on more or less frequently
for the past 80 days. Being, however,
unjustly drawn into the matter, l
desire to ask indulgence while [ take
the opportunity to deny some of the
allegations charged against me on the
question of passes.
Your correspondent says, ''that
when blanks had been filed out by
Supt. Hunt, requesting the endorse
ment of passes for Minnesota people
entitled to return, the names of the
four ladies (meaning Mesdames Steb-
bins, White, Hazenwlnkle and For
syth) had been omitted" If your cor
respondent had been DESTROYS to
ascertain why those names had been
omitted, he could easily have done so
by making enquiries of the superin-
tendent. 1t was my duty, as well as
my pleasure, to certify to the gen.
illness of all Photographic passes,
which were sent to or handed me,
and this l did promptly upon receipt
of same. The ladies mentioned. or at
least those of them present in the
state building, were fully aware of
the existence of an order which re-
quested the restampIng of their
passes: but, for reasons best known
to themselves perhaps, they did not
