Ebony.
Ebony was known and highly es
teemed by the ancients as an article of
luxury and was used by them for a
variety of purposes.
In India it is said that it was em
ployed by kings for scepters and also
for images. On account of its sup
posed antagonism to poisons, it was
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony Is given to the wood
of several varieties of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for tlieir
great density and dark color. The
wood in all varieties is heavier than
waterr The heaviest varieties are the
darkest. The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony is of a uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora
tion even from long continued use.
' There are three varieties of ebon;,
well known in commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa is the
darkest. The Madagascar ebony is the
densest. The Macassar ebony furnish
es the largest pieces. It is sold by
weight
Imitations of ebony can always he

GENTLE ROLLS OF WATER THAT
. HOLD A FEARFUL POWER.
Ground Sens on the Enffllah Coast
Which Wreck Vessels on Calm
Days—These Swells Strike With a
Force of a Ton to the Sauare Inch.
Many visitors to the coast are sorely
puzzled when a boatman either refuses
to put off from the shore, or at most
go far from land, on a day when there
is no sign of an approaching storm
and the water is only moved by a long
and gentle rolling swell.
Argument is of no avail, and if the
old salt is pushed for a reason he will
only reply with some cryptogramie re
mark about “the ground sea.” the
questioner then retiring more bewil
dered than before.
It is bard to understand bow such n
gentle swell can presage danger, but
to experienced eyes it gives a warning
that must be heeded. All along the
west and parts of the south coasts of
England and Ireland, as well as the
west coast of Scotland, uncounted
tales are told of ships which on a per
fectly calm day have been within a
few hours first caught by a gentle roll
of the water and finally thrown on a
rockbound shore by the dreaded
"ground sea.”
To understand this curious marine
phenomenon it must be borne In mind
that out on the Atlantic waves are of
ten formed to a heigh of 40 feet. Driv
en before a heavy gale, these advance
at a rate of from 30 to 40 miles an
hour. Traveling at such a rate, they
soon get out of the wind swept
area. But even though, for them, the
storm is past they still roll on in fury,
their undulations often being felt 500
miles from the point of their creation.
In the region of the storm these
waves are fierce, breaking billows, but
ns they get farther away they settle
down into long, rolling ridges, which
travel onward in long, unbroken lines,
perfectly parallel with each other.
Out on the open sea these ridges of
ten stretch out for a distance of over
30 miles, and they travel in threes,
each successive wave being larger
than its predecessor. The sight is an
imposing one.
The farther they progress the small
er they become in height, but this is
compensated for by the fact that their
motion is communicated to the mass of
water below, until the roll can be de
tected fully 50 feet under the surface.
This gives them the name of "ground
sea.”
In this peculiarity their danger lies,
for when a becalmed ship is caught in
them, her draft, the resisting power
that enables her to ride out a storm,
becomes the fulcrum wbleb the liquid
mass uses to burl her onward to de
struction.
On a calm day any sailing craft
eauglit in the “ground sea” near a
rocky shore is as good as lost, unless a
wind can spring up and enable her to
beat out to sea. Many a ship has met
this fate. The reason many more do
rot get lost is due to the gentle swell
that so deceives a landsman and warns
a sailor.
As the "ground sea” advances it
pushes a certain amount of water be
fore it This also forms into ridges,
like its pursuer, but of less height and
approximately no depth.
The “false sea,” as it is called, is lit
tle more than a roiling swell, but it
gives a warning of from 20 minutes to
two hours’ duration, enabling a ship
to either run into port, get out to sea
or securely anchor; while at the sea
side resorts the boatmen run close in
shore to the surprise of the "trippers.”
When it is remembered that a wave
20 feet high, which is often attained by
the “ground sea,” strikes with a force
of one ton to the square inch, the ne
cessity for caution will be recognized.
All waves that come in parallel
ridges, however, are not dangerous, as
there is a "wind billow” that is closely
allied to the "ground sea” in appear
ance.
“Wind billows” are due to a heavy
wind blowing but a few miles ofT the
land, but ns they linve had but a com
paratively short distance to travel they
have no depth. Consequently even a

seem to be earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which arc erected before the

There Is a reason for this aud it lies
in their construction. A pagoda is prac

which starts from a wide base, and is
in itself a substantial structure, but is
rendered still more stable h.v a peculiar
device. Inside the framework anti sus
pended from the apex is a long, heavy
beam of timber two feet thick or more.
This hangs from one end of the four
sides; four more heavy timbers, and if
the pagoda be very lofty still more tim
bers, are added to these. The whole
forms an enormous peudulum, which
reaches within six inches of tlie

When the shock of nil earthquake

De Stilus a Yarn About a Wonderful
Recovery on Shipboard.
A little group had been spinning
yarus in the rotunda of the Walton for
an hour or more when a bronze
visaged, middle aged man joined the
party. Several of the group recognized
him as the captain of one of the big
tramp steamers which ply between
Philadelphia and foreign ports, and a
place In the fcircle was at once made
for him.
"We’ve been killing time telling sto
ries,” some one explained. “Suppose
you turn in your contribution.”
The captain thought a moment and
then smiled.
“I was thinking of something that
happened on my last voyage.” be final
ly said. “We bad on b'ard as a cook
a big colored fellow, whose principal
eompanion was a little yellow cur dog.
One day while the cook was preparing
some beef for dinner he let the heavy
cleaver with which be was doing the
chopping slip from his grasp.
“It fell to the floor with a thud, and
the cook emitted a howl of anguish
that was heard all over the ship. The
cleaver had struck ouu of his bare feet
and sliced the big toe off as neatly as
a surgeon could have done it. Here
was a chance for the yellow dog. and
he seized it Making a dive for the
severed toe, he swallowed it in one
gulp and then made a bee line for the
deck.
“This was more than the cook, craz
ed with pain, could stand, and he hurl
ed the cleaver at the dog. His aim
proved true, and his curship passed out
of existence then and there. At this
juncture the ship’s doctor came up to
find out what all the row was about.
When he learned the truth, he laughed.
“ ‘I’ll fix that for you,’ he exclaimed
to the cook, ‘wait-till 1 get my instru
ment case.’
“Within five minutes he had held a
post mortem on the dog and recovered
the lost toe. Washing it with antisep
tics. he skillfully stitched it back in
place again, and the.cook hobbled back
to his quarters minus his dog. but with
as many toes as he had ever had.

An Ancient Military Devotion.
The eating of three blades of grass
“In token of the holy communion” was
a recognized form of military devotion
in the middle ages. On the eve of battle
one knight would make bis confession
to another, and then partake of this
symbolical communion. It would not,
however, be correct to speak of either
ceremony as “an efiieacious substitute”
for the sacraments of penance and the
