MISTAKES ABOUT SEA WAVES
Really They Are Not Nearly as High
az Some voyagers Have
Asserted.

Voyagers on stormy seas come safe
~ ashore and tell their friends of
waves that rose mountains high and
at times threatened to overwhelm the
vessel on which they braved the deep.
The unframed eyes of the amateur
seafarer generally exaggerate the
height of the waves, and when the
statement is made that the water rose
at least 100 feet above the vessel it is
seldom that any of the auditors can
disprove it.
Exhaustive observations made by
scientists give the maximum height
attained by waves at not more than
sixty feet, and then only when the
wind has been of hurricane force. The
average height of waves in a strong
gale is, about thirty feet, in a whole
gale about thirty-seven feet, and in a
storm about forty-five feet. The scien-
lists further state that if waves travel
as fast as the average velocity of the
strongest winds and if there be swift
er waves produced directly or Indirect
~ by. action of the wind upon the sea
they do not attain sufficient height to
form noticeable breakers.

ONE OF THE OLDEST METALS.
In Use Since the Very Earliest
Days.

Iron must have been familiar in the
time of Moses. A wedge made of iron
was left in the great pyramid by the
builders, which proves that the metal
was known and in use about 1900 B.
@. Besides, in the fourth chapter of
Genesis, it is mentioned that Tubal
Cain was pioneer in developing the
arts of iron making and brass work
ing. Brass, however, was very in
definite term among the natives. When
spoken of in the Scriptures it is sell
dom TO be understood to signify the
alloy of copper and zinc now called
by that name. The brass" tempered
for edged tools or weapons of war
was a bronze, usually compound Of
copper and tin.
Copper was also known to mankind
at very early period. Articles of cop
per were found 81 feet under the
statue of Rameses the Great, which
was erected $500 years ago. Debris
has accumulated there to depth of
nine feet, and the copper articles were
found, on further excavation, ~ feet
lower down.

TERMS ORIGIN IN DISPUTE
Many Explanations Of the Letters 20.

Are Trustworthy.

Quite a cycle of legendary explana

of the popular term 20. K" 1t is held
that in early colonial days the best
rum and tobacco were imported from
Aux Cages. in San Domingo. Hence
the best of anything came to be known
locally as Aux Cages. or 20. <"
Another explanation refers to the
use of "Old Keokuk." an Indian chief,
who is said to have signed treaties
with the initials 20. K" However.
the term didn't come into general use
until the presidential campaign of
1928, when the supposed illiteracy Of
Andrew Jackson. the Democratic cam
didate, led Seba Smith, the humorist,
writing under the name of Major
Jack Downing" to start the story that
Jackson Endorsed his papers 20. K"
under the impression that they formed
the initials of "Oll Korrect."

pher. discovered in the records of the
Nashville court, of which Jackson
was judge, numerous documents in
dorsed 20. r." meaning ''order re

was a belated business that Major
Downing saw on the desk of the pres
