HIGHT OF WAVES.
Frenchman Says Observation From
the Decks Of Ships Has Created

the OeCkS OF 0TIPo E1dS VI SosS0
an Illusion.
M Bertin. a Frenchman, has been
making new observations, Of the size
OF ocean pillows. He Says they are
greatly over-estimated when the term
mountainous" is applied to them.
The longest waves he measured
were $3.50 feet from crest to crest
he says, and their average duration
was % seconds. They were not very
high, only about so feet or one-tiftieth
of their span.
Indeed, he Is OF opinion that the
greatest height ever reached by waves
in open water is fifty feet, and he
accounts for higher estimates by say
ing that they have heretofore been
observed for the most part from the
decks of ships, and the perspective
effect resulting from looking up along
the slopes has misled the eye and
judgment.
When waves become oreakers'
striking against some OBSTACLE, there
is no doubt that great masses OF water
are hurled to a height Of 100 feet
and volumes Of spray are flung and
blown still higher.
Very few waves $500 feet long and
50 feet high are ever encountered, he
adds. In average bad weather the
waves run from 16O to 800 feet from
crest to crest and their height seldom
exceeds SO feet. Their duration IS
not over 6 to 8 seconds. Il
