LARGEST OF KNOWN WAVES.

Caused BY Earthquakes ut Sea- and some-
times Rising sixty Feet In Height.
While we usually think OF earth
quakes as taking place on land, they
do occur with equal devastation in the
ocean. That point in the earth ut
which the explosion or breaking takes
place is called the earthquake focus,
and from it what are known as earth
quake waves pass to the surface, says st.
Nicholas Take a basin full of water
and dip glass tube into it. Blow through
the tube and you will see bubbles
rising to the surface and circular waves
passing out. The disturbance at the
bottom of the basin corresponds with
the explosion or swapping OF the crust
at the earthquake focus, with the diff
ference that instead of water waves the
latter produces earth waves, passing
through the ground. When the city of
Lisbon, Portugal, was destroyed. the
earthquake took place in the bottom OF
the sea, fifty miles west OF the ci}y.
Yet it so sgitated the water that wave
sixty feet high dashed over Lisbon, de-
stroying it and its inhabitants in the
space of six minutes. Another earth
quake. occurring just off the coast OF
Peru. made such gigantic wave that a
large vessel was thrown several miles
inland. These are called earthquake
waves. They are the largest known
waves and are caused by the heavirg
and rocking of the bed OF the sea. In
deep water such waves are not very
high, but their motion extends far
down into the ocean. When they reach
shallower water, however, they heap
up like q gigantic wall and, with q
force more terrible than fire or sword,
they sweep on, bearing destruction with
them. Huge ships are tossed like
straws far inland or mingle their ruin
with that of harbor town.

There are probably some people who
are not familiar with the origin OF the
names OF the days OF the week.
The week was unknown to the nm.
clients OF Classic ages. till it was grad.
uully adopted, along with Christianity
under the latter emperors. The ar
according to their distances from
the earth, is in the following order:
Saturn, Jupiter. Mars, tho Sun, We,
nus, Mercury. the Moon. 1t was a
principle OF ancient Gstrology TINT
these planets presided in success on
over the hours OF the day, and FROM
which the latin designations given
to-day of the weeks have been de
rived, and from these have besn
formed the modern names used In
different countries, elthor by literal
translation, or In the HeutoniC
tongues. by the substitution IN some
cases OF the corresponding deity oil
the northern paganlsm for the classl
cal q Cd.
Sunday is SO called because It was
.anciently dedicated to the Worship oil
the sun.
Monday means literally the day OF
the moon.
Tuesday was dedicated to Tuisco,
the mars OF tho Saxon ancestors. the
deity that presided over cunbats,
strife and litigation. Hence, In Eng
land Tuesday is assize day the day for
combat or commencing litigation,
Wednesday is SO called from W odin,
or Odiu. deity or chief among the
northern nations OF Europe.
Thursday was named by the Suxons
from fhars, tue old Ieutonic god OF
thunder.
Friday Is from Frea, or Friga. n god.
dess OF the old saxon mythology.
saturday means Saturu's ddy, the
deity oil that name.
