was used. Today all this is

Different Names For Waves.

They have curiously different names
for waves about the coast Of Great
Britain. The Peterhead folk call the
large breakers that fall with crash
on the beach by the grim name Of
"Norrawa (Norway) carpenters" On
the low Lincolnshire coast, as on the
southwestern Atlantic fronting shore Of
these islands, the grandly long un-
broken waves are known as "rollers."
Among east Anglians a heavy surf,
tumbling In with an oRshore wind or
in calm, is called by the expressive
name of a>"slog," while we'll marked
swell, rolling in independently Of any
blowing, Is called "home." "There is
no wind" a Suffolk fisherman will say,
"but nasty home on the beach" Suf-
folk men also speak Of the "bark" Of
the surf, and a sea covered with foam
is spoken Of as Feather white" The
foam itself is known as "spoon drift"
So, in the vernacular, we have it, "The
sea was all feather white with spoon
drift"

The Origin of a Great Invention.

The Origin of Great Invention.
On one Of the daily trips Of young
Westinghouse from Schenectady to the
foundry at Troy his train was held up
by a bad wreck. Two freights had
come together in head-on collision on
a piece Of straight track. The engi-
neers had seen the danger plainly, but
by the time the hand brakes were
brought into play it was too late. The
young man allowed these facts to sink
into his mind. Then he said to one Of
the train hands: :
eff the engineers had been able to
control their trains from the cabs, the
wreck could have been prevented,
couldn't it?'
Control 'em how?
"Brake them"
eyes. They had lots Of time"
That was enough. The air brake was
conceived. Amid the piled up wreck
age the thing that was to make the
name of Westinghouse familiar to ev-
cry schoolboy the world over was call
ed into being. 1t did not come in it's
perfected form, but the idea itself had
germinated.-Pau Latzke in Every

The popular idea that people are
obliged as a sign Of respect to take
off their shoes before entering a
mosque is incorrect. This is done sim
ply because the floors of the mosques

clean, as during their devotions the
faithful touch them perpetually with
their foreheads. If you wear galoches,
or overshoes, you have only to remove
