SIX MILES A MINUTE
An Earthquake Wave Once Crossed the
Pacific in Twelve Hours.

An Earthquake Wave Once Crossed the
Pacific in Twalve Hours.
People are apt to indulge apprehensions
about the movement Of waves Of the ocean
which are cratic, borne perhaps OF Illusion
ary influences. Every ono has noticed the
action of the vim on n field OF corn and
sesn the undulations caused by its crossing
poses hat a single stalk has left its place.
As with the corn wave, SO with the water
wave, the substance remains rising and
falling In the same place. while it IL only
the form that moves.
The speed Of this movement depends On
the speed of the wind. When a gentle
breeze is blowing the friction between the
atmosphere and the water 10 small, and
only q slight ripple is produced, but should
the velocity of the wind increase the ripples
become waves, or even pillows. mountains
of water, moving at a tremendous speed.
The ripple or slow undulation may move at
q velocity varying from three or four to
eight or min miles per hour. and, increas-
ing in size to q wave Of greater or less pro-
portions. may have . srsed of from ton TO
the rate increases to twenty-five or thirty,
and during storms has been estimated at
thirty, thirty-6ve and even forty miles per
hour. This latter speed is exceptionally
great, and far exceeds the average. Waves

most incredible. For instance. the great
earthquake which occurred at 6amoda. in
Japan. caused a wave which travelled across
the Pacific from That country to San Fran
cisco, a distance of nearly 5000 miles, in
not much more than twelve hours-that is
to say. 1t raced across the ocean at the rate
Of about six and q half miles per minute.
The sell. acting tide nauges at Fan Fran
cisco which recorded the arrival OF this
great wave rendered il quite certain that
this was the actual rate of progress. Then
again the tidal wave which passes over the
ocean twice daily travels In places at an
enormous speed. 1t has hscn estimated
that If the seas Of the world consisted Of
ono uniform sheet of water the tidal wave
would traverse them ut tho rate OF 1000
miles per hour. Az . matter OF fact. Il does
proceed Mt something like half this pacs
acI oss the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The
intervention of continents. stands and
shadows. however. reduces the speed in
places to not more than forty or fifty miles
per hour.-Chioaeo Times.

Temporary Receiver for New Eng

FIRE NEAR LAKEWOOD.
Casino Road House Burned to the
Ground This Morning.
Manager Alexandcr's Child Thrown
from IA Window and Killed.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., Dec. 2S.-The Ca
sino. a road-house at South Lakewood
Park, three miles south OF his place.
was totally destroyed by fire at an early
hour this morning.
The building was valued at $50, 900 with
its furnishings and was owned by a
syndicate in New York. 1t was erected
for the purpose Of Improving the prop
erty.
1t is said there was no insurance upon
1t. The burned building had only been
built about n year, and last week opened
for its second season.
The six-months-old daughter of Mr..
Henry Alexander, manager of the con-
Germ, was killed by being thrown from
the second-story window into the street,
and one of the employees was internally
injured by jumping. All the rest es-
capped in their night clothes, saving
nothing.
The fire is supposed to have originated
through sparks flying from a fire that
had been left in an open fireplace when
the house was closed for the night.
