HOW WIND PRODUCES WAVES
Its Action Upon Desert Sand and
Prairie Snow.

There are wind waves in water,
sand and snow. The great sea waves
are produced at that part of a cy-
clone where the direction Of the
wind comedies with the direction o.
advance of the depression. AlonS
Ills line of advance the waves 10
+, their progress are accompanied by
a strong wind blowing across Their
ridges as long as the atmospheric
depression is maintained So the
waves are developed until they be-
come steep. The average height in
feet is about half the velocity of the
wind in miles.
A wind of 80 miles an hour gives
wa es of an average height of %
feet, although individual waves VII
attain a height of 40 feet, The pre-
vailing wind in all logitudes Is wes-
terly, so wherever a westerly wind
springs up it finds long westerly
swell, the effect of a previous wind
still running, and the principal ef-
feet of the newly born wind is to in
crease the steepness of the already
/ running long swell so as to form
majestic storm waves, which some
! times attain a length. of POO feet
from crest to crest The longest
swens due to wind are almost invis-
tible during storms, for they are
masked by the shorter and sleeper
waves. but they emerge into view af-
ter or beyond the storm.
The action OF the wind to drift dry
sand in a procession Of waves is seen
in the deserts. As the sand waves
can not 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 oil
come more complex owing to the
partial consolii ation of the lower
layers of SAM by pressure, but they
still have the characteristic wave
features.
In the Winnipeg prairies Of Cana
da freshly fallen snow is dTifted BY
wind in a procession of regular
waves progressing with visible
and ghostlike motion. They are sim
liar to desert sand waves, but les!
than half as steep, the wave length
being fifty times as great as th'
formed snow waves affords valu
able indication of the great distance
to which hills shelter from the wind

The Bertram Banner breaches an
excellent sermon in few words, as
follows: The majority of people are
honest in their claims of wanting to
do the right thing at the right time
and at the right place, If such is not
the case there is no hope of human
progress and we might as we'll re-
frain from all organized effort look
hooves us, when We fail in our own
cherished ideas of how things should
be done. TO gracefully step 10 the
side of the opposition and put our
shoulder to the wheel. You remem-
Der in the early part Of the christian
era. when the jewish Sanhedrim
were busily engaged in searching for
means to stop the spread of christi
anity, that one of their own number,
being wiser than the rest, suggested
that they stop worrying over the
matter and consoled them with the
fact that if the claims Of christianity
were at fault the movement would
come to naught. In that instance is
revealed principle that should give
!us hope and couarage-tha right
will prevail, that it is the central,
controlling force of the universe,
and in spite of the fume and foam
that is raised on the surface by our
everlastingly kicking and padding,
the clear, cool current Of truth and
right is being propelled by the cen
trifugal force of Omnipotence. Have
faith and do your best"

ing of Last Monument

Topeka, kas., July 24.-The last
of the 100 monuments and markers
along the old Santa Fe trail from
Kansas City, Mo, to Trinidad, Col,
was recently unveiled at the latter
place.
The descendants of Kit Carson, a
name that will always be associated
with this once great highway of the
plains over which the commerce OF
the southwest passed, assisted in
unveiling the monument in the CEN
ter of the business district of Trini-
dad. Granite markers are now placed
at intervals of not less than five
miles along the Santa Fe trail
through the states of Kansas and
Colorado. and all that remains to
finish the work is similar action on
the part of the state of Missouri and
the territory of New Mexico.
Within a few years at most the
work Of marking the trail Will have
been competed from its beginning

San Antonio, Texas, July 24.-Za-
vala county will in the near future
be able to boast of having the larg-
est pecan nut orchard in existence.
A tract of 1000 acres, part of the
well known TT" rcnch has been ac-
quired by Edgar B. Marchant of
Clinton. Oklahoma, and Garnett 0,
Fields of Aline, Oklahoma, and will
be planted with pecHas as soon as
the season permits.
The land bought is proven pecan
land and a large forest of wild pc
cans has stood on it since the first
settlements were made in that part
of the southwest. One of the trees is
over six feet in circumference. The
owners intend to plant forty trees to
the acre or 10000 in all, and it is
expected that in ten years the crop
will be worth on an average of $500
per acre
