Heioht of Waves.

Among the most trustworthy scien tific measurements of ocean waves are those of Lieutenant Paris of the French navy The highest waves measured by him were in the Indian ocean between the Cape of Good Hope and the island of St. Paul. Thirty waves measured during northwest gale there averaged twenty nine and one-half feet in height, and six of them, following one another with beautiful regularity, were thirty-seven and one-half feet in height Some still higher waves were seen, but not meas ured. In moderate breeze the length of wave was found to be about twenty-five times its height, but in d gale only eighteen times. - London Globe.

EXPECTATION OF LIFE.
Years One May Count Upon Living at
 Any Given Age.

Years One May Count Upon Living at
 Any Given Age.
 No statistics have been calculated with greater care than the tables which give the exact expectation of life for men and women at various ages These mortality tables are officially ac cepted by the various states ill the United States, and from them the life insurance companies compute their rates of insurance. They are as ac curate as the most carefully gathered figures can make them.
 At ten years of age the expectation of life is 4S.72 years. When one has reached the age of twenty the chances are much improved, and there is still an expectation of APO years before one. At the age of twenty-five the average has improved, and there are still some thirty years ahead.
 For the normal man or woman thirty years of age the average length of life is sixty-tiye years. A person thirty i've years old may count, according to these tables, on thirty two years more.
 As each milestone is passed the pros pect brightens. Thus at the age of forty the prospect is for nearly twenty nine years more, and at fortyfive there is an expectation of twenty-five more years
 By the fiftieth year the expectation is about twenty one years. and in the ffty-fifth year it is nearly eighteen more A man of sixty may look for ward with some confidence to fifteen more years of life. and this increases so that at seventy years the prospect is eight years. On having successful ly passed the eightieth year there is an expectation of about five years.- Eychannp

SINKING SHIPS.
If Completely Submerged They Must
 Go to the Bottom.

if Completely Submerged They Must
 Go to the Bottom.
 Answering q correspondent who writes: q am very anxious to find out whether a ship will sink if the bottom of the ocean is at great depth or, at least, at such depth that the weight of the water would be greater than the weight of the ship. It is the opinion of many that at certain depth the ship would remain suspended instead of sinking to the bottom. Please ex- plain the exact truth Of the matter" Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York American says:
 Any mass that will entirely sink below the surface of the ocean will sink to the bottom of any sea or ocean on earth. This is because water is al- most incompressible.
 Enormous pressure in hydraulic presses has been made upon distilled and also upon sea water. and the di intuition of volume-that is, increase of density-is only O0OO044 for ocean water for each atmosphere, i. e.. each addition of fifteen pounds to each square inch. Then water soaked wood would be increased in density by very nearly the same amount.
 Hence if all of the wood in wood en ship sinks below the surface 1t must go to the bottom. The question of reaching the bottom of the ocean is de cided for any kind of matter of any ship or boat by it's behavior at the sur face. If all of the material of the boat sinks at all below the surface. then it will fall to the bottom of any sea. there being such slight increase in density of water at the bottom of the deepest ocean,"

THE BATTLE OF MARATHON.
And tho Mound Under Which the Old
 Grecian Heroes Rest.

IfoCIan HeroeS nest.
 A great Grecian landmark is the SOrOS, the mound erected over the graves of 192 Athenians who fell in the battle of Marathon. Aug. 12, 49O B, c. The mound IS about forty feet high and 300 yards in circumference. Underneath the mound lie the heroes who died in this most decisive victory which prevented the persians from in vading Europe
 The battle had hardly begun when the Persians in immensely superior force, doubtless ten to one. pulled themselves together and by sheer mass broke through the Greek center. But this had been calculated upon before hand. Attitudes employed strategy, making his line weak at the center. and allowed the persians to break in. Then, with his heavy masses at the ends, he ground the Persian wings to pieces and fell upon their center. The most stubborn fighting, apart from the battle at the ships, was probably at this spot, half mile from the shore. Six thousand four hundred Persians lay on this plain and along the shore, while 192 men of Marathon lay wrap ped in glory on the field.
 | It was long suspected that the he roes of Marathon were buried under the mound, but Mir. StaiS, one of the Greek ephori of antiquities, studying the plain, came to the conclusion that the surface of the soil had been raised by alluviaI deposits eight to ten feet above the level of 49O B. C. In 1890 he drove a trench with downward slant into the center of the mound and found the bones of the heroes with their weapons beside them.- Strand Magazine.

Foreat Giants In the Sequoia and Gen.
 eraI Grant National Parks.

6ral 1rd0t NdStOudI ' dENos
 The Sequoia and General Grant Ma tional parks, the home of the big trees. are situated in Tulare and Fresno counties, Gal, and are celebrated mainly for the great groves of the big trees which are scattered through them. Sequoia National park may be reached from Visalia, thence by way of electric railway to Lemon cove. thence forty miles by stage or private conveyance to Camp Sierra. in the park General Grant National park can be best reached from Sanger. thence by automobile, stage or private conveyance, distance of forty-six miles to the park.
 The streams and lakes in these parks afford splendid trout fishing. boating and bathing The waters are all pure and fit to drink. The forests contain the largest, oldest, tallest and most valuable trees in the world. Aside from the giant Sequoia, there are other forests of pine, fir, cedar and many deciduous trees that are truly royal, There are many ShruDS, Wlld noWers, ferns and mosses of superb beauty, while frolicking wild animals and beautiful song birds are another ell joyable feature of the parks.
 In four of the groves certain trees within them have been named, while ill all other groves they have not. The General Sherman tree was discovered by James Woverton. a hunter and trapper, on Aug 2, 1879, at which time he named the tree in honor of General Sherman, under whom he had served during the war. The General Grant tree was named by Mrs. Lucrctia r. Baker, who was member of the par ty which camped near the tree ill Au' gust, 1S67 This tree has height ot 2G4 feet and base diameter of thirty five feet.

 "The financing of a railroad is a function which the people, through their servants, the Railroad Commis- sioners and the Legislators, have never attempted, but it is a most im- portant problem, especially to sec tions of a State where new railroads are needed. The placing of securities has been left entirely with the pro moter and owner of railroads.

On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commis- sioners.
 Managing a railroad is quite differ ent from managing a government where the money is raised by taxa tion. When the expenditures, for good reasons or otherwise, increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub lie, cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have almost no control over their incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities.
 There is not railway manager in the country today who is not fearful that under the press of increasing de- mands the transportation systems of the country will, in few years, break down, unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build 1t up. There are vast sections of the country, especially in the West, where more railroads are needed and they cannot be built unless the rail. ways raise new capital.
 People invest money in order to make money, and they are skeptical as to whether they can make money by investing in concerns that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Rail- road securities must be made more attractive to invite investments, and in order that they may be made moro attractive, the roads must be allowed earnings that will enable them to meet the increased capital charges"
