It is not uncommon inprose
works to read of mountainous
waves. Exact measurements sel
dom confirm first impressions.
Scoresby fourrd that forty feet was
the height from trough to crest of
the largest waves measured by him
in the North Atlantic and in a cy
clonic storm, when bound for
Australiafin the Royal Charter.
This has long been accepted as the
extreme limit of wave height. Cap
tain Kiddle, a well known and ex
perienced navigator, has however,
encountered-waves at sea which
were seventy feet high. The late
Admiral Fkzroy had previously
observed waves as high; and some
observations made, at Ascension in
1836 support these authorities. In
1844 her Majesty’s ship Inconstant
was scudding with her-stern upon
the crest and her bow in the de
pression between "two successive
waves, and the wave ahead was ob
served exactly leyel with her fore
topsail yard,’ just seventy-seven
feet above the water line.
On the 27th of July, 1888. the
Cunarder Umbria was struck by. a!
wave not less than fifty feet high,
which did much damage. Two
days before, the Wilson liner Mar-
tello hud a similar experience; .an
enormous solitary wave struck her,
completely submerging her decks.
The Martello was much smaller
and more'deeply laden than the
queenly Umbria. No connection
could be traced between these
waves, which were referred to in
the dailies as tidal waves, although
of altogether different origin. In
October, 1881, the Italian bark
Rosina had all hands, except one
man who was ill in his bunk,
swept off her decks by a wave
which broke on board as they were
shortening sail during a heavy
squall in mid-Atlantic. The Brit
ish bark Undine had one watch
washed overboard and her Captain
killed nudier similar circumstances.
It is said the massive bell of the
Bishop Rock was wrenched from
its fastenings by the momentum of
driving seas in agile of wind, and
the gallery containing it thickly
strewn with sand, although 100
feet above high water mark.
Scoresby gave 600 feet as the max
imum length of sea waves, but
there are many longer. Mr. Doug
lass, when building lighthouses on
the coast of Cornwall, noticed
waves 1,300 feet long from crest to
crest.

A Wall street man who has

returned with a story of seeing for
two weeks every morning a citizen
at one of the prominent hotels eat

champagne for breakfast. He de
scribes the citizen ns one who has
made S2,000,000 out of a silver
mine, and who returned to Boston,
his native city, to spend some of
his new found Wealth. This.man
had spent twenty years in the west.
He had roughed it and had about
as hard a time as any man in the
silver hills, but now that he has
made his fortune his chief idea of
luxury is hot mince pie and cham
pagne for breakfast.
Last year Georgia outstripped
all her sister states in railroad
building, aud the prospect is that
- this year’s record will be hardly
less remarkable. The three rail
roads now building from Macon,
the Macon and Birmingham, the

and Dublin are all being pushed
as rapidly as the engineers and
contractors can do their work, in
spite of the money scarcity, and
like activity is reported from other
sections of the state. From Au-

on its feet again and is to be push
ed to completion.—Macon Tele
