Give a Kind Word When You Can.

Do you know heart that hungers
Foy q word Of love and cheer?
There are many such about us;
1t may be that ono is near.
Look around you! II you find 1t,
Speak the word that's needed so,
And your own heart may be strengthened
By the help that you bestoW.
It may be that some one falters
On the brink Of sin and wrong,
And q word from you might save him
Help to make the tempted strong.

And we give no friendly sign!

way to Newman street to acquaint
his rival with his success, and to offer
him the earliest congratulations. To-

house, where a banquet, consisting of
sausages and bottled stout, was held
for the better satisfying Of their an.

occasion. The feast finished, the

SIX MILES A MINUTE.
An Earthquake wav~ Once Crossed the
Pacific Ocean In Twelve Hours.

Pacific Ocean In Twelve Hours.
People are apt to indulge apprehen.
siOns about the movement of waves
Of the ocean which are cratic, born
perhaps OF i~llusionary Influences.
Everyone has noticed the action of
the wind on a field of corn and seen
the fluctuations caused by its crossing
the field In a few seconds; hut no
supposes that a single stalk has left
Its place. As with the corn wave.
says the BROOKLYN Eagle, so with the
water wave, the substance remains
rising and falling in the same place.
while 1t is 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 is small. and only a slight rip.
pie is produced; but should the veloc-
ity Of the wind increase the ripples
become waves or even pillows, noun!
tains Of water, moving at a tremend-
GUS speed. The ripple or slow un-
dulation may move at a velocity vary
ing from three or four to eight or
nine miles per hour, and. increasing
In size to a wave Of greater OF less
proportions, may have a speed OF
from ten to fifteen or twenty miles
per hour. In a gale the rate increases
to twenty-five or thirty, and during
storms has been estimated at thirty,
thlrty-five and even forty miles per
hour. This latter speed is exception
ally great and far exceeds the average
Waves which have resulted from
earthquake shocks have ~traversed the
ocean at Q speed which is almost in
creditable. For instance, the great
earthquake which occurred at
Samoda, In Japan, caused a wave
which travelled across the Pacific from
that country to San Francisco Of
nearly s., 600 miles, in not much more
than twelve hours-that Is to say, 1t
raced across the ocean at a rate Of
about six and a halt miles per min
ute. The self-acting tide gauges at
San Francisco which recorded the
arrival of this great wave rendered
it 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 been
estimated that If the seas Of the
world consisted of n uniform sheet
of water the tidal wave would
traverse Them at the rate of 1000
miles per hour. AS a matter of fact
it does proceed at something like half
this pace across the Pacific and At
lantic oceans The intervention OF
continents. islands, and shadows,
however, reduces the speed in places
to not more thad forty or fifty miles
per hour.
