How Big Is a Wave.

and understand.
How Big Is a Wave.
Take the waves, for instance, which
fictionists so often cause to rise noun
tain high. Pictures often show these
topping seas rising sheer a hundred
feet above the observer the height
depending upon the size of the fright
that was suffered by the retailer OF
the yarn.
Waves at sea in time of a severe
storm run about twenty feet nigh.
There is a very simple way to meas
ure them. One only has to climb a
mast to a height from which he can
just see the horizon over the crest
of an oncoming wave when his boat
is in the trough of the sea. The
height of his eye above the water
line at the time of observation is the
exact height of the wave. 1t is a
safer measurement than anybodys
with high priced instru-
ments. 1t shows the topping seas"
to be about twenty feet high.
There is an occasional great wave
that is bigger. At times there are
unusual conditions that produce un-
usual waves. A big wave sometimes
eats up the little ones and carries
them along with it and, while none
such has ever been authoritatively
it is believed that some of
these do run forty feet high. The
deck of the new Olympic, the biggest
ship that has ever been built, will be
sixty feet above the water. The peo-
pie who ride back and forth upon
her will have a gage ready set for
them with which to measure big
waves. If an onrushing sea ever OBJ
scures the horizon from observers on
the deck of the Olympic, there will be
recorded a wave that was sixty feet
high. Any Captain can tell his pas
sengers the height of the decks above
the water, and any man may thus
try his hand at measuring the height
of waves.
Another strange thing about waves
that are rolling in from the sea Is
that they bring no water with them
While these mad waves are rolling
in a piece of driftwood may ride then
steadily and make progress away from
the land. This is for the reason thai
waves are made in the very way q
wrinkle may be pushed across the
tablecloth with a pencil laid fiat. The
tablecloth does not advance; but the
ridge, because of a force bearing on
it, goes forward.
Sargasso Sea.
There is the Sargasso Sea in the
North Atlantic. Even geographers
have described it as a matted region
of seaweed into which vessels dare
not go. Fiction writer's have woven
many a yarn about its center into
which are said to have gathered the
relicts of the ages. Its vast ex-

name of his male ancestors was not
Washington. This may seem a sweeping
statement in the light Of generally &C
copied history, but careful research has
established beyond doubt that the ancient
founder of the family from which came
the father of our country was named
William de Hertburn. The key TO this
apparent paradox lies In the fact that,
in common with many noblemen and
monarchs Of Europe, the first President
possessed an estate name and real, or
family name the latter being known as
the patronymic, or paternaI name.
The first Washingtons were of French,
and not English origin, and were num-
bered among the powerful knights of the
northern portion OF France. When the
Duke of Normandy conceived the ambi-
ton of becoming King of England he
called 10 his aid the Catholics of France,
and among those who responded to his
appeal was an ancestor of George Wash
tngton. The duke gathered his soldiers
about him and announced that by right
and promise he deserved and intended to
be the new King of England His spirited
address had the desired effect and the
knights and their vassals tfronged TO the
standard until there was soon gathered

of Normandy. the greatest army France
