BRITISH COAST LINE CHANGES.
How she Sea Cuts the Shore and Yet
Builds Out capes.

How the Sea Cuts the Shore and Yet
Builds Out capes.
While the action of the sea upon
the coast line Of Great Britain may
not be more severe than it is in other
parts Of the world, it attracts much
attention. The comparatively small
size of the British Isles makes such
changes more noticeable, perhaps,
than they would be on continsnts, and
it is not unlikely that they have been
studied more carefully in the United
Kingdom than in some other parts Of
the world.
At the last meeting Of the British
Association for the Advancement OF
Science two addresses on the subject
were delivered. The speakers showed
that the contour and size of the isl.
ands are now perceptibly different
from what they were at the time of
Caesars invasion, in the year 55 B.
c. In many places at present the
coast is receding, the resistance to
the waves depending both on the ele-
walton and the material into which
they eat. The chalk cliffs Of Flam-
borough Head, so to 80 feet in height,
are being destroyed at the rate Of
a foot and half a year In other
places, where the cliffs are lower
and made Of glacial gravel, the an
nual recession amounts to as much
as three to five yards. Lowesboft
Ness (Suffolk), the most easterly
point in England. consisting of glacial
drift, receded 1,1OO feet between 1854
and 1901-that is at the rate Of 2S.4
feet a year.
There is also an outward building
Of some Of the wave-made forelands.
For example, Dungeness Point (Kent)
has advanced at rate Of seven yards a
year between 1859 and 1874, according
TO one authority. The records Of the
Lighthouse Board show that the sea-
ward advance OF this point was at
the rate Of nine feet a year between
1892 and 1859; thirteen to fourteen
feet between 1850 and 1871. and eight
feet between 1871 and 1879. The light
house on this point has been shifted
seaward three times. during the last
century. The great mass of shingle
deposited to form this point Is indi-
Gated by the fact that at a distance
of 100 yards from the shore, the water
Is four fathoms in depth at low tide,
and at a distance Of $50 yards, fifteen
fathoms.

WHY SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit Of History Wrapped Up
in the Word.

a Curious Bit OF History wrapped Up
in the Word.
The making Of silholettes can hard
~ be classed among the lost arts,
since there is so little art about
them. The best Of them represent the
human profile in a crude way, and
they were regarded as rather a cheap
kind Of pictures even in the days
when they we're most popular. In
deed, the very word silhouette means
something poor and cheap and it had
its origin in a spirit Of ridicule. It
is taken from Etenne de Silhouette.
who was a French cabinet minister
in the year 1859, when the treasury
Of France was very low because of
costly wars with Britain and Prus-
sia and by the extravagances of the
government. When Etienne de Silhou-
cite became minister Of finance he
set about making great reforms in
the public expenditures. He was, by
nature, a very close" man, and he
went to such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself,
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as a la Sill
houette.
A very crude picture was popular
at that time. Il was made by tracing
the shadow or profile Of a face pro-
jected by the light of a candle on
a sheet of white paper and the out
line defined with a pencil. This was
such a very poor and cheap sort Of a
picture thai 1t was at once called a
silhouette in further derision Of the
very saving French minister, and the
name has stuck" 1t is an instance
Of the curious derivation of some
words in common use, and this un,
kind slur on a man who was really
trying to introduce needed reforms in
the spending Of the public money has
long been accepted as "a good and
proper word. Indeed, there is no 9TH
ed word used for pictures of this kind.
although there were such pictures
long before Monsieur Etienne de Sill

them in so embarrassing a way

FRIGHTENS ENTIRE TOWN;
LANDS IN PADDED CELL
w. H. SHARP REMOVED FROM
NEEDLES
Attention by Photographing His
Guests EntangIed In Auto
mobile Wreck

William H. Sharp, the Needles man
whose antics kept several cities astir,
was yesterday put in the padded cell at
tine San Bernardino county Jail, In the
midst of the Admission day celebration.
Sharp was brought from Needles, where
his conduct frightened the townspeople
until Deputy Sheriff Acuna seized him
Sunday and turned him over to Deputy
H. B. Warner, who conveyed him to San
Bernardino.
Sharp has been on a spree since last
spring. Drinking is supposed to have un-
hinged him mentally, at least for the time
being.
Recently the man took several women
riding in big auto. The machine crashed
into tree near Riverside and the women
are still in the hospital there.
Sharp began taking pictures of the help
less, screaming women while they were
entangled in the debris of the wreck, let
ting them get out of their painful dilemma
as best they could until he had snap
shotted" them.
He was finally sent to Needles on proba-
ton, but this did not last long.
A few days ago he returned to his old
tricks. He walked the streets attired only
in pair of slippers. Then he visited the
home of his wife, who lives apart from
him, demanding his revolver and knife
from his children.
Supervisor West sent telegram to Los
Angeles asking the officials here to 'get
that insane man you dumped on u.s."
Sheriff Ralphs wired the officers at
Needles to take Sharp into custody.
On the Santa Fe en- route to San Ber-
nardino Sharp tried to borrow socks from
various passengers.
He will be sent to the county hospital
and later to the insane asylum If found
incurable

Jack Welsh, who refereed the fight,
was then presented to the crowd. Will

by Cans insisting on his money being put

CADDlES STRIKE AND
GOLFERS CARRY CLUBS
Japanese Being Trained to Technical
Points Of Game at Links of Coun.
try cIub-Boys Object to
Lower Wages

The latest movement in organized labor
is the caddie strike at the Country club
Golfers yesterday had to shoulder their
own club when they sailed forth upon
the links. The caddies say they are in
earnest and intend to hold out for the
old rate.
Club members says the caddies have
been making too much money at 20 cents
per hour. only part of which time they
are working. The green's committee de-
termined to change the rate to 80 cents
per round of IS holes. The boys object
to this change - -. $50 IS
Club members would not deny that the
Japanese being introduced into the Coun-
try club may be used as caddies If the
strike keeps on. This is the latest and
most original invasion by the little
brown men into the American field of
labor.
One drawback to using Japanese caddies
would be the Nfficulty of teaching them
the golf vocabulary.
They might learn the difference be-
tween lofter and putter, brassey
and a driver, but when 1t comes to the
more technical expressions such as
"teeing off the green" fore" "dribbling
to cover" the oriental tongue may be-
come somewhat twisted.
