Important Discovery Recently Made by

1t is with commendable pride that
the proprietors of the great packing
houses in Chicago, Milwaukee and
Kansas City inform visitors and their
patrons Of the high state of economy
that they have attained in their bust

found for one part after another Of the
hog that formerly was deemed of little
or no value, until it has become an
axiom, ''that nothing is wasted" ''that
everything is used except the squeal."

what a valuable product was going to

is now demonstrated that pound for

FOR THE BABY'S PICTURE.
These Suggestions May Be of Value to
Mothers

children between the ages of one
is very successful, ARE the most diff
cult to photograph. Until they are d
year old they do not, as a rule, realize
that anything unusual is going on, and
after the age of three they know
enough not to be frightened. 1t is
true, however, that children of five OF
six sometimes make as much fuss as
the younger ones. And | have noticed
that sex makes q difference. The boys
are almost invariably greater towards
than the girls, and show a greater dis
taste of having their pictures taken.
Indeed, it would surprise you to see
how early some little misses realize that
they are pretty, and take pleaure in
posing before the camera.
THE posing Of children? Oh, be-
yond a suggestion or two, [ let them
take their own positions. A child left
to itself will assume the prettiest pos
sible attitudes, and there is natural
ness about them that no suggested pO-
sition to which a child is compelled to
rigidly adhere will possess. 1 find, how
ever, that they are more at ease when
standing than when sitting down. The
reason of this is, I suppose, that when
on their feet they do not have the
same sense of powerlesness as when in
a chair. They feel that they can run
away, if necessary. The timidity of
children is, of course, the great difficult
ty in photographing them. 1t must be
al1ayed before pictures can be taken
in which they look natural, and as
their parents wish them to appear. 1t
often amuses me to see the methods
by which the latter undertake to do
this. I wonder if they show the same

of their children in other ways. For

STUDIES OF THE OCEAN
Some Scientific Data About Storms
and Big Waves.


Dr. SchOtt, the German scientist who
has spent the past year observing the
great seas, has accumulated a vast
amount OF information 4 writer in
the New York Sun saws:
Most newspaper readers are aware
that one of the methods. though not
the most exact and satisfactory. as
asceralnlng heights above the sea is to
employ the aneroid or the boiling point
barometer to show the atmospheric
pressure, and the height may be an
proXlmatefy ascertained by comparing
the result with the known atmospheric
pressure at sea level at a given temner.
allure. For measuring the height of
waves DR.. Schott used a very sensitive
anerold with microscopic reading. The
greatest height of storm waves record
ed by him was eleven meters. or n
little over thirty-siX feet. The highest
waves recorded during the far more
extensive observations Of Lieutenant
Paris rose eleven and half meters
above sea level. Dr.. Scott says that
observations of waves in the stormiest
weather and in the open sea that are
above fifteen meters in height are ox-
tremely rare. Now and then mariners
or travellers bring reports of waves
sixty of seventy feet high, but DR..
Schott thinks these reports are almost
invariably erroneous
With an average good breeze the
distance between waves. according TO
DR.. SchOtt'S observations. was about
10 to 40 feet and the time between
waves was 4 II to ) seconds. That is.
about every five minutes Il new wave
would come, each travelling at the rate
of about % to % feet in a second. or
about fifteen to seventeen miles an
hour. The heaviest storm waves he met
moved about IS feet in a second. or
thirty-siX miles an hour or still faster,
They attained a length of about go
feet. According to this observer the
rapidity Of wave movement does not
Increase prOportiOnally with an in
crease in the strength of the wind. in
which respect his deductions differ
from those Of perhaps most other OBJ
servers.
He says that storm waves have a
sleeper front than average waves. and
confirms the determination of ieuten-
ant Paris, who found that the DropOr-
ton between wave height and wave
length in a high sea is as one to
eighteen, and in q moderate sea as one
to thirty-three. During his entire
journey home DR. Schott made investi-
cations every twelve hours to deter
mine the salinity of the sea water. and
in regions where the study was of PAL
ticular interest. as south of Cape of
Good Hope. every few hours or oftener.
In discussing his temperature observa-
tons DR.. Schott has much to say about
the phenomenon known among US as
general humidity. to which he attri-
butes some very unpleasant exper-
fences, though he did not find at sea. in
