Soapeu:s on the Sea.

1t is in order to vary the phrase
pouring oil on the troubled waters
by substituting the word ''soapsuds'
for oil. Experiments have shown that
soapsuds will reduce sea almost as
well as oil. The first trial was made
on freighter in storm on the At
lantic. A large quantity of soap and
water was discharged over the bow.
and its effect was nearly instantane-

managed without difficulty. The.
steamer Senegal, struck by a squall in
the Adriatic, used soap and water.
with the same result six pounds of
soap were dissolved in two barrels of
water. This solution when dripped
over the bow made quiet space about
ten yards wide, preventing the sea
from breaking over the vessel to any
considerable extent-New York Her
