Pouring Oil On
Troubled
Waters
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.


Q--'Ts there any scientific basis for
the belief that oil will quiet the waves
Of the ocean in time Of storm ?"-Frank
Pittman, San Francisco.
Alt Is known that oil has great effect
in preventing the crests OF waves from
breaking into rough contour. Watch an
approaching movement OF energy In
water The force raises the water higher
as 1t passes, and gravity lowers It TO
below the original level Of undisturbed
surface
But the top Of the mass OF upIifted
water is a smooth curve At extreme
height, wind and gravitation combine,
and the effect is to cause at highest point
Of curve Of water roughness; the water
breaks into a minute supplemental wave
or ripple This at once increases and
runs along the entire length of the wave.
Water has certain strength OF
viscosity but the wind overcomes this
quite easily and causes the little wave
on the top OF the large one TO finally
break into separate drops of water-that
is foam. Now many kinds OF oil have
greater viscosity than water. A thin
film will by its greater viscosity resist
wind and prevent minute secondary
waves from forming on the top Of large
swells. prevent crests breaking. and thus
overcome choppy seas.
The very ancient expression: "Oil on
troubled waters" is one Of the few that
is really true.

There hangs picture on my wall;
Three lesfless trees; dead woods beyond;
Brown grasses and marshy pond;
And over all

Too frail the artist heart to cope
With all the stern demands Of fame,
He passed before he won a name
Or gained his hope
To realms where dreams have larger scope.
Yet in the modest little square
OF that daily see
He left legacy to me
OF something rare
Far more than what is painted there.
For tree and grass and sunset sky
Hold subtler quality than art
1t is the painters pulsng heart
That seems to cry,
Il loved these things-they cannot die"
And so they live, to stir and move
Each gazer's soul, because they speak
OF something mightier than technique
They live to prove
The Immortality of love.
They speak this message day by day:
Love, love your work, small or great;
Love- love- and leave the rest to fate.
For love will stay
