HEIGHT OF WAVES.

In Severe Storms the Greats May
Mount Fifty Feet.
1t Is only in the Imagination Of the
poets that waves rise mountains high"
The exact altitude and length OF waves
have been measured with scientific ac-
curacy, and the record waves are care
fully recorded. Waves in shallow wa
ter are, as rule, higher than those in
open or deep water. The height of a
wave is commonly about one-fifteenth
its length.
The longest wave on record was
$3.50 feet, measuring from crest to
crest, its period being about TWEEN
ty-two seconds. Waves Of extreme
length are seldom very high. wave
$500 feet in length, rising in deep wa
ter, will have height Of about fifty
feet.
When a wave enters shallow water
its crest becomes considerably higher.
and one of height Of forty feet will
frequently rise to fifty feet If 1t meets
resistance, 1t may be thrown up twice
this height.
In severe storms at sea waves rarely
reach a height of fifty feet. The aver
age In such time has a period of about
ten seconds. which would indicate a
length of about 500 feet. Waves with
period of ten seconds have a length
Of from $50 to 800 feet and a height
or thirty-three feet and form a very
high ea.-Exchange

SMITH FAILED TO
BAG ANY SNIPES

A party of young men had a most
ENJOYABLE Snipe hunt Monday night
in the Close hammock some four
miles south of the city. The night
was evidently too warm for the birds
to be out, as the bush shakers could
not run any OF them into the net,

ton Hail shop. In some manner al

became ,bewildered and lost their
bearing in the woods and could not
locate the spot where Mr.. Smith had
taken up his stand. They came on
to town, leaving Mr.. Smith patiently
holding the net, (which he faithfully
did till after daylight, and tho he
knew very little of the habits of the
snfpe, he knew they did not run after
daybreak, SO he wended his way
homeward, reaching town in time for
a late breakfast. 1T is to be regretted
lthat the weather was not propstitiIous
for the ibagging of big lot of the
birds, as Mr.. Smith intended sending
several specimens to his warning
friends in far away Austria. The
native FLORIDA snipe enjoys the dis
tinction of being the only pink
feaithered four-legged bird in ex-
listence, and it would have been quite
a treat for Mr.. Smiths friends in fan
away Austria to see one and hear
its melodious song just before day
break each morning. MIR. Smith il

Pioneer Work of la Verendrye and

The first white man to reach the

American continent was Sieur Pierre
whose expedition left Montreal June 3.
1871. With half a hundred compan-
ions. including his three young sons.
the daring Frenchman set out from
the fort at Montreal and plunged into
the wilderness, intent upon discovering
that narrow sea which was suppos I'd
to separate America and China.
During the months and years that
followed La Yerendrye and his gallant
boys triumphed over a multitude of
obstacles. Some of his men were
massacred by hostile Indians, others
fell victims TO disease. exposure and
accident, and mutinies were frequent.
After many hardships Lake Winnipeg
was reached. but La Verendrye was
of fresh water. instead of the tabled
western sea.
After thirteen years OF effort the
expedition was turned back by the
impenetrable mountain Businesses

road will be barred from 10 am. until
