signals to CoaChmen.

Scientific papers contain the accounts
of recent invention. The luxurious
French, having tasted of the comfort
and desirability of electric lamps in
their railroad coaches and automobile
carriages. have now adopted it for use
on ordinary horse-drawn cabs. While
the storage batteries necessary for this
are quite an additional load for the
cabs, yet anything to surpass ones
neighbor is fashions dictum the world
over. Added to this innovation is a
method of signaling the driver. instead
of having to twist ones neck into
most uncomfortable position to speak
to cabby through the little trap-door.
The proposed Partisan Improvement
provides a small box in front Of the
driver. on which by pressing various
buttons inside the cab the following
words appear in red light: Left,
right" walk faster. stop,
turn home" and slower AS the
electric power is required for the lamps
this little signal box consumes but an
inappreciable amount of current ano
is of the greatest assistance.

Measurements Have Been Made.
Figures Taken From Observa-
ton During Violent Storms.

The story of waves that run noun
tain high is very great exaggrega-
ton. Many important measurements
have been made, all of which show that
the common estimate of the height of
waves is due to imagination and fear.
The measurements of Scoresby,
which are regarded as very accurate,
proved that during storms waves in
the Atlantic rarely exceed forty-three
feet from hollow to crest, the distance
between the crests being $50 feet, and
their speed 321a miles an hour.
More recent observations taken in
the Atlantic give from forty-four to
forty-eight as the highest measured
waves, but such heights are rarely
reached. and, indeed, waves exceeding
thirty feet are very seldom encoun-
tered
The monsoon waves at Kurrachee
breakwater works were found to dash
over the wall to the depth of thirteen
feet, or ABOUT forty 1eeC ABOVE the
mean sea level.
The greatest height of waves on the
British coast was that observed in
| Wick bay-so famous for the excep-
| tionally heavy seas which roll into it
being 371a to forty feet. Green seas to
!! the depth Of twenty-five feet poured
over the parapet Of the breakwater at
intervals of from seven to ten minutes
each wave, it is estimated, being a
mass of 10000 tons of water, and this
continually for three days and nights
During severe storms the waves roll
ing from midsea used to ride high
above the top of Smeaton Eddystone
tower, while at the Bell Rock the seas
with easterly storms, envelop the tow
err from base to balcony-a height O.
400 feet
