BIG OCEAN WAVES.
Careful Data Show Them to Be Not Over
Thirty-two Feet High.

An article quoted in Current Litera-
ture gives this interesting information
ON ocean waves. DR.. G. Schott, as the
result of studying the form and height
of the waves of the sea, claims that un-
der moderate breeze their velocity was
24.6 feet per second, or 1G,S miles an
hour. which is about the speed of mod
ern sailing vessel.
AS the wind rises the size and speed
of the waves increase. In a strong breeze
their length rises to 260 feet and their
speed reaches 36 or 36. 4 feet per second.
Waves the period of which is nine sec
onds, the length 400 Or 425 feet, and
the speed 2S nautical miles per hour are
produced only i'll storms. During a
southeast storm i'll the southern Atlantic
he measured waves 600 feet long, and
this was not q maximum, for in latitude
% degrees south and longitude 80 de-
gfees east he observed waves of 10 sec
onds' period, which were 1850 feet
long, with velocity of 1877 feet per
second, or 4618 nautical miles an hour.
DR.. Sch0tt does not think that the
maximum height of the waves is very
great. Some observers have estimated it
at 80 or 40 feet in wind of the force
represented by 4 on the Beaufort scale,
the highest number of which is ~, and
DR.. Schott S maximum is just 80 feet. He
believes that i'll great tempests waves of
more than 60 feet are rare, and that
even those of so feet are exceptional In
the ordinary trade winds the height is
or 6 feet. The ratio of height to length
is about 1.33 in moderate wind, 119
in strong wind and LII in storm,
from which it follows that the inclina-
tion of the wave is respectively about 6,
10, II degrees. The ratio of the height
of the waves to the force of the wind
varies greatly.

WATER POWER.
American and European Methods of Using
It In a Large Way.


The standard American method Of
utilizing large amount of water power
has hitherto been to distribute the wa
ter to the several consumers or mill
owners by means of a system of head
races, so called, with facilities for its
discharge at lower level, to be utilized
as the owner or lessee saw fit, and gem
orally on his own premises. This led to
long head canals and to insignificant
tail races, whereas the Niagara plant con-
sists of a common tail race, a mile and
half long, with comparatively insignif-
can't head races. The old time water
power company sold or leased the right
to draw a definite quantity of water at
defined times, with the privilege of dis
charging it at lower level, and the
mill owner did the rest, whereas at
Niagara Falls the right is leased to dis
charge definite quantity of water into
the tail race tunnel, with the privilege Of
drawing this quantity from the head
canal, or from the river. But over and
above this the product-power-m be
contracted for at Niagara Falls, deliv-
cred on the shaft
To create a large group of mill sites
of the older sort there was necessary, in
the first instance, a large, continuous
body of land, properly located for the
purpose. # this could not be bought up
secretly, and in large blocks, the whole
water power enterprise would fail to
come to frution. In Europe, however,
several such enterprises came into being
in spite of the inability of the projectors
to primarily buy tracts of land such as
have been described. This was done by
establishing central power stations near
the dam, or head canal, and then trans
mitting the power produced, instead of
the water to produce it, to the consul
mers or mill owners. Up to within, say,
five years, this had always been accom-
plished by means of wire rope trans
missions of power, and it is easy to see
that the invention of the electrical trans
mission of power would give this form
of the utilization of a large water pow
er great impetus. Many such plants
are therefore already in existence, many
are building, but among them all no
one is probably so celebrated and is at
tracting the attention of all intelligent
men as this at Niagara Falls. .-Cassier' S

1t May or 1t May Not Be Sold to the

From the Americas Recorder.
As the date of sale of the S. & A. NJ.
railroad draws near, speculation as to
what will be done with the property in
creaSes. The road will be sold at public
outcry in this city on the 18th inst,
little more than two weeks hence, but as
yet no reorganization scheme has been
definitely agreed upon by the bondhold-
erS
In fact, it seems that the re-organiza-
ton committee cannot agree as to the
proposed purchase of the Columbus
Southern road, and each faction is pull
ing against the other on this question.
Messrs. John Shelton Williams, OF
Richmond, member of the re-organiza-
ton committee, and J. William hidden
dort, of Baltimore, advisory member OF
the same committee, are out in lengthy
and interesting circular letter to the first
mortgage bondholderS, defending the
proposed purchase of the Columbus
Southern and making it portion of the
Teorganized system.
This letter is a reply to communica-
ton recently sent out by Messrs +. 5.
Hambleton & Co. opposing the purchase
Of the Columbus Southern. Messrs.
Williams and Middendorf contend that
1t wolA be to the advantage of the S. A.

KUMAMA, THE CHEROKEE INDIAN
GIRL.

A pretty incident of Indian life upon
the banks of the Etowah river, about the
year 1922, has been brought to the notice
of the writer of this article. In that year
lived near that river wealthy half-breed
Indian by the name of Miller, whose
father had sent him in his boyhood to
Massachusetts, to be educated.
AS the years rolled on Miller raised
la.ge family of sons and daughters, and
accumulated nice property. About
that time party of visitors to north
Georgia stopped at Miller's house for the
night, and.special menti on has been made
by one of them to two Indian girls,
daughters of the head of the house, each
of whom had been sent north and edu
Gated. The name of one of them in
Cherokee language was Wa-lahue (Hum.
MUG bird), but her Christian name was
Julia. The young lady was about six
teen years of age, rich brunette, whose
high cheek bones showed the peculiar
contour of the Indian. The other sister,
in Cherokee la nguage, was named Ku
mama, butterfly, but her Christian
name was Harriet. She was about twen-
ty years of age, Intelligent, attractive,
and sparkling conversationalist. She
was also of decidedly religion turn of
mind. THIS young Indian girl, in relig-
i0us conversation with one of the gentle
men of the party that night, said: Il see it
now see it! Jesus Christ came into the
world to illustrate the Father, and sends
us into the world to illustrate himself"
Then pausing, apparently in deep
thought, she continued: "We ought to be
the brightness of his glory, as he was
the brightness of the Fathers. The
only Bible which most people read is the
| Christians life"
Seventy,three years have passed since
that incident took place, aud now the
''pale face" alone is seen among the
beautiful mountains and valleys of north
Georgia and Tennessee, where once the
Cherokee Indian lived and loved; but
the words of that Indian girl, so beauti-
fully expressed, still live upon the writ
ten record to embelish in all of their
beauty the religious life of an Indian
maiden. w. K. PHsBURY.

An Extract From General Evans Memorial
Address.
The grand old hero, Gen. Clement A.
Evans. in his address in Macon, on me-
mortal day, paid this tribute among other
beautiful things:
Confederate facts are now the quarry
of history, and confederate purposes
which once breathed life of marvellous
vigor that astounded the world is now
entombed. Its sepulchre is fragrant
with the spices of tender recollection,
but it is no longer living purpose, and
no one would wake it from its perpetual
slumber. It's day for transient glory had
it's dewy dawn, its splendor of noon; and
then the evening lit with stars. 1t is
now as yesterday when it is past, and as
the night watch called away from his
post. The great men who led the south
are nearly all departed, and millions,
who belonged to that tragic, heroic, mem
orable period have folded the tent OF
time and silently gone away. The polit'
cal cause which produced the confeder
ate purpose and the fact which that
purpose evolved have been we'll discuss
ed; the argument is exhausted, and the
history made with more honorable
credit
