FORCE OF BIG WAVES.
Fearful Power That Is Exerted by an
Angry Sea.

TearIul ROVER nat is Ekefteo py an
Angry Sea.
The average inland American who
has never seen the ocean has no real
idea of the force Of its waves. He
reads about the storm. of boats being
carried away and bulwarkS stove but
he does not 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
concusSion with which the waves
struck the sea wall. sending the spray
apparently 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 road
way as if they had been bits of
plank. Timber work that had with
stood the stress of years was torn
apart and carried away. Easements
were flooded along all the seaward
face of the town.
Such storm when it sweeps over a
ship will sometimes carry away al
most everything on deck. Deck houses
are often smashed, and the lifeboats
are often stove in and ruined
Various attempts have been made to
devise motors to develop power from
the force of the waves. The amount
of energy wasted through their lack
of success is beyond estimate. If the
power of the sea could be used it
would drive the machinery of an un-
limited number of plants.
