HOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES.
It's Action Upon Desert Sand aad
Prairie snow

From the Gizgo Tribune.
There are wind waves IN water. sand
and snow The great sea waves are pro-
duced at that part OF a cyclone where the
direction Of the wind comedies with the
direction Of advance OF the depression.
Along this line OF advance the waves in
their progress are accompanied BY q
strong wind blowing across their ridges
as long as the atmospheric depression
is maintained. So the waves are devel-
oped until they become steep. The aver
age height in feet is about half the We
IOcity Of the wind in miles.
A wind Of fifty-two miles Al hour gives
waves OF an average height Of twenty-six
feet. although individual waves will at
tain a height Of forty feet. The prevail
Ing wind in all IOngitudes Is westerly. so
wherever a westerly wind springs up II
finds a long westerly swell. the effect of
g previous wind still running. and the
principal effect OF the newly born wind
Is TO increase the steepness Of the al
ready running long swell 50 as to form
majestic storm waves. which sometimes
attain a length OF 100 feet from crest TO
crest. The longest swells due 70 wind
are diIilOSL iINES@BAc UuEliS SlOIAllSf AtE
they are masked By the shorter and
sleeper waves. but they emerge into
view after or beyond the storm.
The action OF the wind 10 drift dry
sand in procession OF waves is seen in
the deserts. As the sand waves cannot
travel by gravitation their movements
are entirely controlled by the wind and
they are therefore much simpler and
more regular in form and movement than
ocean waves. In their greatest heights
OF several hundsed feet the former be-
come more complex owing 20 the partial
consolidation OF the lower layers Of sand
BY pressure. but they still have the char
acterestic wave features
In the Winnipeg prairies CT Canada
freshly fallen snow is drifted by wind
in a procession Of regular waves pro-
crossing with visible and ghostlike mo-
ton. They are similar TO desert sand
waves. but less than half as steep. the
wave length being fifty times as great
as the height The fiatness Of the wind
formed snow waves affords valuable
indication Of the great distance TO which
hills shelter from the wind.

IN A PYTHoN'S COIL.
An Adventure That Nearly Cost Zoo
Official His Life.

The attendants in geological gardens
are exposed TO dangers Of various
sorts. The superintendent OF the Gin
cinnati animal park once had an ad-
venture with python which came
near costing him his life.
1t became necessary to make some
changes in the snake house, and the
superintendent. Mr. stephens, was In
the cage of pythons, anticipating no
the largest snake coming toward him,
kissing and darting its tongue angrily
Instantly he realized his danger.
The superintendent quickly grasped
the huge reptile just back of the neck
with his right hand and with the left
down. where the greatest muscular
power OF the python IL located.
He tried to thrust the writhing mass
into n waiting box, but the python
coiled It's twelve feet OF length round
the mans leg and began to construct.
carrying Its tightening coils higher and
higher.
Struggle as he might. Mr.. stephens
seemed helpless In the serpent's grasp
His hands were so moist that the
scaly body twisted in them. Perspira-
ton streamed down his face. The
python had worked It's head free and
was darling It's horrid tongue almost
In Its victims eyes.
The man threw up his hand instinc-
lively to shield his face, and at the
same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing H.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage, and they began
beating the python. Not liking this
treatment. the big snake relaxed its
coils. Mr.. Stephens jerked his hand
free and broke off one OF the python's
fangs In his thumb I'm so doing.
