Pump Anchors.

\ pump is queer sort of anchor,
but 1t has been found TO be the best
kind Of an anchor for a sandy bot
tom The anchor consists Of heavy
piece of metal with hole down
through the center aud tube from
this hole to the ship, SO that water can
be pumped from the ship down through
the tube and out of the bottom OF
the metal mass When this anchor
drops to the sandy bottom and the
pump is started il makes quicksand
Of the material round ii so that It
sinks in deep When the pumping
steps the sand hardens and holds the
anchor. To raise the anchor it is nee

GIGANTIC SEA WAVES.
Force of Those Raised by Earthquakes
or Violent Storms.

The term tidal wave is enormously
applied to almost any unexpected wave
that mandates the seacOast or the
shore Of a great lake. These waves
are rarely If ever due TO the tides
since the real tidal wave is a phenome-
non admitting of exact calculation and
prediction. but they may be traced usu-
ally to some distant earthquake or VIC
lent Storm
When an earthquake occurs beneath
the sea the vertical movements the
sea bed generate a great wave which
is propagatnd outward from the center
Of the shock and reaches the land after
the arrival of the earth wave. In the
open sea this wave is SO broad that 1t
cannot be perceived but when it reach
es shallow water near the shore it
rushes forward as an immense break
er. sometimes sixty feet or more high
and Overwhelming everything in its
course.
The sandy beach deposits and loose
powders are swept away while inland
the surface is streyn with debris. The
velocity of these great sea waves is
greater than the ordinary waves raised
by the wind. a submarine earthquake
near the coast Of Japan in 1854 gave
rise to sea waves which traversed the
whole breadth Of the Pacific at a rate
Of about 80 miles an hour. At Smoda.
Japan. the waves were thirty feet
high. while at San Diego. CAL they
measured only six inches Such an
earthquake wave near the coast Of
Peru once lifted gunboat Of the Unit
ed States navy and landed it mile
inland - Kansas City Star.

The Transvaal government bought
this stone and presented it to King
Edward. it having become known as
the Cullinan diamond. In 1908 1t was
sent to Amsterdam and there cut into
nine large stones and number Of small
ones The largest one weighed J1Gl5
carats and is the largest brilliant in
existence. All are Of the finest quality
and hawless.
The Kohinoor in its earliest known
state weighed 1867 carats. but was

ALLAN, Lord Narrowly son OF an English
"A Earl. prevailed upon the American agent
of Lloyd's in New York 70 give him a policy
for three hundred and seventy-ive thousand
dollars insuring his marriage two weeks from
that time, 20 Cynthia Meyrick, daughter OF
millionaire Richard Minot. one Of Lloyds
experts, was sent to Florida 20 guard the in

should interfere with the marriage.
Harrowby refused 20 let Minot accompany
him south on Martin Wall yacht the Lileth,
and when he attempted 20 get aboard he was
thrown overheard. He learned that the real
name Of the Yacht was the Lady Evelyn which
had been painted out. Minot then departed
by rail- and when near his destination me- a
beautiful young woman, who. exasperated al
the slowness OF the train. Joined him in taking
a wheezy old .axicab for the last part Of the
journey. The woman was Cynthia Meyrick,
and Mno, tell utterly in love with her.
Jack Paddock, a college friend Of Minot S.
was making a lot Of money at San Marco by
writing repartee for Mrs. Helen Bruce, a So
ciety woman who had thereby attained repu-
tation as a great wit.
Henry Trimmer. an advertising specialist
who believed in publicity for everything. was
convinced that Allan was faber that he had
discovered the real Lord narrowly. and SET
about making public exposure
Minot learned that Martin Wall was known
as the greatest jewel thicfin America.
Harrowby's diamond necklace. family heir

up a plan whereby the real Lord was kid

Then Gabrielle Rose, dashing chorus girl.

road in 1910 but Union was reached
only by a stage twice a week from

took from July 26 to August 2. 1t
cost as much to go from Union to
Charleston as thence to New York,
