WAVES OF GIGANTIC HEIGHT
Thousands Of Tons Of Water Not In
frequently Poured Upon Decks
Of Ocean Vessels.

Even in stormy weather the average
height of waves in mid-ecean does not
as Il rule exceed 30 or 40 feet. Some
times, however, enc enormous wave
makes Its appearance amidst the rest.
Why this should happen no one can
say. All we know is that mighty
mass Of water rushes suddenly toward
a ship at the appalling speed of over
100 miles an hour.
If the ship can meet such wave
with her bows she will ride over Ii,
though thousands of tons of water
may sweep over her decks. But IL
the wave is following her and PUSHES
at her from the stern, she may fail
to rise. Many good ship has gone
10 her doom in this way.
These vast mountains of water rise
sometimes 10 height of more than
a hundred feet-as high as the spire
of church They have been known
To extnguish the masthead lights of
sailing ships.
Sometimes on q perfectly calm day
there will he sudden troubling of the
surface of the sea. and without the
slightest warning a wave loo feet
high will appear.

HAS MANY CLAIMS TO FAME
Island of Jersey Has Been Called a
Wonderland-Really Is an
Interesting Place.

The island of Jersey is famed foc
many things, remarks the Under the
Clock coumnist Of the London
Daily News. :. lilies, golfers. won
ders," potatoes and cabbages ten feet
high. TO mention only few of It's most
obvious .specialities. But its chief
claim to fame is that it Is the residu-
airy legatee of the old Norman duchy,
therefore the inherltor (and presum-
ably the proprietary of the British
empire. Jerseymen undoubtedly fought
In Williams victorious army, at Hast
ings, and to this day the island has
a constitution and laws which have
been little altered since the reign or
King John, and which, on occasions.
have even dared To defy the thunders
of the prlvy council.
The inhabitants are most intense.
~ loyal people, and the two greatest
blows that can be offered to their
pride are, first, to confuse their island
with Guernsey, and second, to call
them French. Fancy the joy of the
Jersey contingent which was welcomed
into Fermoy with the strains of the
Marseillalse. Jersey has never been
conquered; England has: the deduc-
ton is obvious.

WHEN DICKENS ATE 'PossuM
English Author and Washington Irving
pined With Webster in the
National Capital.

81 have. sir. just purchased N the
market q famous opossum''-so wrote
Webster 10 Irving and the latter's
guest, Dickens. in March, 1S42--"and
j have sent Ii home 10 Monica. my
cock. who viii stuff IL with chestnuts
and bake II with sweet potatoes In
true Virginia style. IL will be. sir.
dish fit for the gods. Come, with your
friend. and partake."
Dickens and Irving did partake In
Webster's house, TOn Connecticut ave-
nue.. Washington, and Dickens did not
relish the 'possum as much as ne
rellshedN Webster's company. In
papcr on lItesary aspects of the CAPT
Cal I'm the Catholic World Margaret b.
Downing recalls another British Wis
iter's introduction 10 new dainty IN
Washington. Thackeray. in 1851, ate
his first ice cream with Irving at the
home Of Hamilton Fish, on ii street.
Not many people realize that Irving
lived for nearly five years in Wash
ington. OF course, every one knows
that George Bancroft long lived there,
and that Whitman and Burroughs
were In the civil service during the
same Civil war years. Probably most
people know also that Mrs. stowe
resided in Washington while Uncle
Toms Cabin" was appearing in the
National Era. Charles Warren Stod-
dard. the author of the South Sea
Idylls." also lived in Washington for
time. But no city really has title
to an author until he not only lives
in II. but writes about IL. The author
of this paper omits all mention of
Henry Adams and the most notable
novel of Washington life, "Democ-
racy."-New York Evening Post.

incident was cited by {. 5. Ross,
secretary of the Idaho Farm Blu
reau Federation. Now, Mr.. Ross
says, 40 acres Of land which for
merly produced 10000 pounds OF
wheat for shipment sends out g.
900 pounds OF butter. The re-
turns 10 the farmers may be
about the same, but the railroad
which serves that district notices
the difference in its freight re-
ceipts.
This is the meaning of agricul-
tural retrenchment. and its losses
must be shared by the country
banker, the dealer in agricultural
machinery, in clothing. furniture,
in all the comforts and necessi-
ties OF life which a prosperous
farming population buys freely.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission will doubtless be i'm
pressed by such showing.

PERFECT DIME-N0vEL HERO
Thomas stukeiy Peer Of Any Of the
Adventures Who FIourished
Under Good Queen 6ess.

A career so lurid and impregnated
with dime novel atmosphere has
scarcely ever been seen outside the
covers of the penny dreadfnls as fell
10 the lot of Thomas Stukely as Ii ran
the gamut from matrimony to piracy,
interspersed with dashing. gallant and
fearless bravery which has caused his
name 10 be remembered when many a
better man has sunk TO oblivion. Stuke-
ly was an adyenturer by nature. His
mother was Irish and of very
good family, and 1t Is said that he
could claim as his father Henry VIII
of England. Stukely acquired a
great fortune by marrying lady Of
wealth and proceeded Immediately TO
spend Il with the greatest dispatch.
Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruff
fled IL with Raleigh and the best of
them at the court Of Queen Eliza
beth. His first chimerical scheme was
To found n kingdom for himself In
Florida. Then he went 10 Ireland and
gained considerable influence over
Shane O'Neill. the most powerful Of
the native chleftains, helping him to
gain decisive battle. Stukely never
gave up his career as merchant and
still retained ships which. under the
guise of peaceful traders, committed in
famous piracies. On being discov-
cred he went TO SPAIN as grandee
and thence 10 Rome. At the great
naval battle of Lepanto he commanded
one of the panal ships.-Chicago

Cypress LAUNDERING.

Not many years ago owners OF
cypress swamps regarded their prop
erty as practically worthless. Cypress
numbering was attended with peculiar
difficulties because Of its swampy
growth The green logs could not be
moved with oxen or mules because of
their great weight and the softness of
the soil. And often the logs were
so saturated with moisture that they
would not float. Sometimes only about
IL per cent of cut could be gotten
to market. Finally lumbcrmen began
TO girdle the trees six months or a
year before cutting, which resulted in
a great saving.
Now the lumbermen drain the
swamps before cutting. swamp drain
age Is an important part of modern
cypress numbering. Massive machinery
also is used. In the overhead cable
skid method the logs are brought In
by carrier travelling over powerful
cable suspended between two trees,
usually about six hundred feet apart.

Color Blindness.


In total color blindness the eye dis
.tinguishes only light and dark. in the
more common partial color blindness
red is mistaken for green, or black for
brown, and in third form only pri-
mary colors can be made out. often
with confusion of blue and violet. The
new spectrometer of F. W. Eldridge-
Green measures the portion of The
spectrum appearing TO be monochro-
matte and the limits of visibility at
each end of the sectrum. The aver
age eye sees six definite colors and
is apparently meEochromatic parts of
the spectrum :. another more or. less
imperfect color vision separates not
fewer single color patches than Is.
Exceptional .eyesight detects seven
distinct. colors. with as many as %
