Force of Oceans Waves.

From the Chicago Tribune
The average inland American who has
never seen the ocean has no real idea
of the force OF it's waves. He reads about
the storm, of boats being carried away
realize the steam-hammer blows that
may be struck by mere water.
A recent storm on the British coasts
received the official designation of
storm of extreme force" A picture
taken in Hastings Harbor shows the
conclusion with which the waves struck
teh esa wall, sending the spray appar-
entity higher than the buildings along
the street. Blocks of concrete and iron
railing were torn from the new parade
extension at Caroline Place and tossed
back into the roadway as IL they had
been bits of plank. Timber work that
had withstood the stress of years was
torn apart and carried away. Base
ments were flooded along all the sea-
ward face Of the town.
Such storm. when IL sweeps over a
ship will sometimes carry away almost
everything on deck. Deckhouses are
often smashed and the lifeboats are often
stove in and ruined
Various attempts have been made to
devise motors to develp power from the
force of the waves. The amount of en-
ergy wasted through their lack OF sue
cess IL beyond estimate. II the power
OF the sea could be used. II would drive
the machinery of an unlimited number
of plants

ton in this personal fashion. you find
that the standard differs materially
from that which has hitherto prevailed.

the conventional sense. a detailed knowl-
edge of Latin. French, mathematics, BIZ

the first thing the normal man would
ask for in his daughter. Probably the
first essential moral character being
taken for granted-is a sound and healthy
body. Next. the average man would
probably like to have his daughter as
beautiful as possible, graceful in her
movements, gentle in her manner. gra-
cious. tactful. and unselfish in her rela-
tons with others. He would also desire
that she should be self-reliant. capable
Of initiative, ready to accept responsible
ity, brave, Industrious and independent.
He would like to have her keenly inter
ested in all the realities and essentials
Of life. fond of good books. devoted to
children and the home. alive to impor-
tant social movements aimed at the re-
generation Of the race-the fight against
child labor and disease. against white
slavery. the exploitation of men and
women in mines and factories.
This ideal. il is hardly necessary to
say, is strictly modern. 1t would include
nearly all of the old-fa shioned virtues

ability TO sew. to make dresses to cook
and go out into the world. IL necessary

not even preclude a participation in pub

The Ruins of Numantia.


From the New York Sun
Prof. Adolf Schulten, welI-known ar
cheologist. publishes a remarkable ac-
count of his excavations in Spain. which
has led to the discovery of the site of
Numantia and the camp of Scipio Afri-
csnus. the Roman conquerer % the Celti-
berians. For eight years the professor
has been at work, partly at the Kaiser's
expense, and he has cleared up a number
OF questions which have hitherto puzzled
historians. The first is the exact site of
Numantia. Prof. Schulten located Nu-
mantia on the hill of Darray, by the
Douro. The ruins had escaped notice be-
cause they lay under later ruins Of a
Roman town dating from the reign OF
been a small town surrounded by a thick
wall. outside the walls on the terraces
OF the hill lay a newer Eumantia. The
town was built of brick and consisted Of
houses about thirty-SiX feet long, each
containing three rooms; in front a store
room, with cellar underneath: next
room where domestic animals were kept,
and next a sleeping room. The cellar va,
used for living in in winter. The Celti-
berian inhabitants of Numantia lived a
primitive life. Their culture showed itself
in highly developed and much decorated
pottery forms. which originated In
Greece, but were modified by the Celti-
berians- Enormous quantities of pottery
were dug up. Underneath the Numantia
of history Prof. Schulten found remains
OF two prehistoric settlements. the work
probably of Ligurians and CeIts. After
laying bare Numantia, Prof. Schulten
discovered and excavated seven camps Of
Scipio Africanus the younger. With this
valuable piece OF Roman history was
reconstructed. DR.. Schulten excavated
the headquarters camp of the COM
mander. also a great castle on the river
bank and the thick Notifications of his
camp with towers, and he also discovered
many relics of the Roman armies speci-
mems Of the legionarieS javelin, the
pylum. and quantities OF pottery OF
novel kind Six miles east of Numantia
on hill known as La Gran Atalaya,
Prof. Schulten discovered the Roman
field camp described by Polybius: and
he later came on this hill upon remains
of other camps. in all numbering i've.

Now there have been apartment houses
in Philadelphia for long time. 1t Is,
perhaps. twenty-five years since the first
OF these was erected and others slowly
followed, chiefly in West Philadelphia, at
irregular intervals. But the accommoda-
ton which these provided hardly came
within the reach of people of only mod
crate means. They were designed for the
relatively well-to-do. that is, for per-
sons with a minimum income OF four
or five thousand a year, and only such
could AFFORD to live in them. Things
are different now. There are more
apartment houses of the handsome, elab-
crate, luxurious, expensive kind than
ever but these no longer monopoliZe the

From the Philadelphis Inquirer.
Perhaps the extent to which Philadel-

of the change which is proceeding.
For one thing, he will be impressed
with the number of houses announced to
be for sale or rent, and another thing
he will observe is that in every direc-
ton apartment houses OF a more or less
pretentious character are being con-
structed. and that dwellings are under
going a transformation to adapt them
to the needs Of preference of the steadily
and rapidly increasing number OF those
who want to live in rooms suitable for
