Velocity of Ocean Waves.

The velocity of waves is said to depend
primarily upon the power and continuance
of the wind, but it is greatly modified by
and bears an ascertainable relation to
their magnitude and the depth Of the wa
ter over which they travel. 1t has been
calculated by Airy that wave 100 feet in
breadth and In water 100 feet deep travels
at the rate of about Is miles an hour; one
1000 feet broad and in water 1000 feet
deep at the rate Of 4S miles; one of 10000
feet in breadth and in water 10, 900 feet
deep will sweep forward with a velocity Of
not less than 154 miles an hour. Bache
stated as one of the effects Of an earth
quake at Samoda, on the island Of Niphon,
in Japan, that the harbor was first emptied
of water, and then came an enormous
wave, which again receded and left the
harbor dry. This occurred several times.
To evaporate water enough yearly from
the ocean to cover the earth, on the aver
age, feet deep with precipitation, to
transport it from one zone to another, to
cause it to fall in the right places, at suit
able times and in the proportions due, is
one of the offices Of the grand atmospher-
ical machine. This water Is evaporated
principally from the torrid zone Suppos-
ing it oil to come thence, we shall have,
encircling the earth, belt of ocean 5000
miles in breadth, from which this atmos-
phere evaporates layer of water annually
l6 feet in depth. To hoist up as high as
the clouds and lower down again all the
water in O lake 16 feet deep, 5000 miles
broad and $4,000 miles long is the yearly
business Of this invisible machinery.
What powerful engine is the atmosphere! !!
How nicely adjusted must be all the cogs,
wheels, springs and compensations Of this
exquisite piece Of machinery that it mover
wears out or breaks down or fails to
do its work at the right time and in the
right way! What q field for investiga-
ton, and how singular it is that man is
placed at the bottom Of this atmospheric
ocean from which to commence his re-
search St Louis Republic.

writo his or her autograph upon them.
Among others she has several Of Sir Hen

Having Company.

The letter read: my dearest Sue,
Next Thursday will spend with you.
won't enjoy my visit, though,
II any trouble bestow."
"Oh, I'm so glad" cried Mrs. White
"For company is such delight"
But looking round her In dismay,
II must get ready right away"
Armed with dustpan and broom,
She went to work in every room.
She oiled and polished, cleaned and rubbed
And mended. scoured, washed and scrub
bed.
Then in the kitchen she began,
While perspiration down her ran,
At pies and puddings, cakes and bread,
As II an army must be fed.
She toiled and fretted, cooked and baked.
She hurried, worried, stewed and ached.
When Thursday came, she, nearly dead.
Just managed to crawl out Of bed.
And Mrs. Company came too.
They kissed and hugged like women do.
And then began tired Mrs. White
To make excuses, never right:
"Oh, dear, my house (then waxen clean)
Is most too dirty to be seen,
So shut your eyesl You're looking stout
Take off your things I'm Just worn ouA
"You must excuse my cooking too.
1t isn't fit to offer you.
('Twas ft for kngs.) Too bad You cono
Just when I'm upside down at homel"
And thus she welcomed and distressed
And spoiled the visit Of her guest,
Who wished she hadn't come to be
A tired womAn's company.

Custard.

Concerning custard, or "custad," as 1t
was formerly called, it was a common joke
at civic .feasts in the oldcn time to place
an enormous custard in the middle of the
table, into which at some stage of the pro.
ceedings the clown unexpectedly jumped.
Ben Jonson uses the term ''custard leap
Jack" of one who "in tail of a sheriff's
dinner" took "his almain leap into GUS
tard" to "make my lady mayoress and her
sisters laugh all their hoods oyor their
shoulders. ."-Gentleman' 8 Magazine.

The following excellent matter we
find in the columns of the Sentine
from the pen Of r. NJ. Horn: "The
publisher of a newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent.
He has his newspaper to sell, and
the space in his columns to rent.
Can any one inform US why he should
be expected to give away either one
or the other? He does 80 if he
chooses, and he does, as matter of
fact, furnish great deal of space
rent free. But it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do SO.
1t ought to be recognized as con-
tribution, exactly as would be the
giving away of sugar or coffee by
grocer. But, strange to say, it is
not looked upon in that light at all;
and yet everybody knows that the
existence of a newspaper depends
upon the rent of it's space and the
sale Of the paper, just the same
as the merchants success de-
pends upon selling his goods, instead
Of giving them away.-Grand juno
