Power to Ocean Waves.

AT the international engineering con.
SreSs held in st. Louis, some unusual
figures were given on the subject of
the height and power of ocean waves
particularly as regards their effect
upon harbor works, says the Scientific
American. In the course Of a paper
dealing with the new Dover harbor, IL
was stated that since these works
have been in progress, no wave of a
greater height than fifteen feet has
been recOrded-a fact which will bs
very surprising to those who have ex
perienced the miseries of the Dover.
Calais passage. The fact is the more
remarkable because at the entrance to
the Tyne waves from thirty-fi to for.
ty feet high have been measured and
the iast-named height has also beeB
observed at Peterhead
In dwelling upon the necessity foI
what are known as spending beaches
and wave traps, for dissipating and
controlling wave action, it was stated
that the depth to which the later
extends is now known to be much
greater than once commonly supposed.
Proof of this is shown by the fact that
lobster pots placed in from 12O to $50
feet of water have been found to be
filed with sand and shingIe after a
heavy gale; moreover, sand had been
found deposited after a heavy gale in
the gallery of the Bishop Rock light.
house, the latter being 100 feet above
the water and the depth of the water
at that point 80 feet.
That the water, even at considerable
depths. must be moving during a gale

fact that at the Peterhead breakwateI
