Rossma cn ————. ——— — Tidal Wave Defined The United States weather bureau save: “The term ‘tidal wave’ is now generally applied to any unusually great and abnormal rise of the sea, particularly in coastal and harbor waters, regardless of the cause, and irrespective of whether or not it oc- curred in conjunction with, and thus ! seeentuated, the astronomical high tide. Common special cases are the great sea waves that sometimes fol low earthquakes and are technically known as seismic sea waves, and the great rises which are often pro- { duced by violent storms at sea or exceptionally strong winds along a coast, which are technieally known as storm waves. While it may be somewhat fllogical to apply the term tidal wave to these latter phenome- na, they nevertheless have lang been so called, and the above popular definition has come to be a well established and accepted meaning of the term even in scientific litera- ture, It was officislly adopted by an international scientific commission created in 1827 by the International Geodetic and Geophysical union, | and known as the committee for the study of tidal waves.” Adams, William Donald R. Everitt, Jack Francis R ing that Bowden was a tnner, Bal | lou asked him if be could build a flue, one that he could use to dry | his fruit, and then explained to him | his idea, The system was forth. with given a trial and it worked be- yond the anticipation of the two men. Ballou then reasoned that the game system could be used for his tobacco. This was given a trial and in the words of Ballou an viewing | the first flue-cured tobacco, "It is ! beautiful.” Mrs. Glenn Walizer, daughter Mary | To the Point Water Witching Water witching is hunting for un- derground veins of water with a forked stick.

The stick is usually | from a hickory or other nutsbearing | tree or a peach tree, and is held up- | right by the forked ends; the other | aod is | toward ground at a spot direct | ly above a vein of water.

Second A. D. Sappho was a native of the Island of Lésbos, probably born about 600 B. C.’and probably a member of the aristocratic Mytilenean family. The astonishing simplicity of her po- ems, apparently writlen in the ev- ery day language of the people with whom she lived, and the flaming quality of both her loves and hates have baffled transiators, who say that she cannot be appreciated fully except by those able to read her original Greek texts, Sulphur Beds In Louisiana One of the most essential chem- icals in Industry is sulphur, and in grandfather's day it came almost entirely from Sicily. The Sicilians knew they had a good thing, and made the most of it. And all that time, relates a writer in the Phila deiphia Record, there wer: immense beds of sulphur in Louisiana. But there was a catch. The beds were beneath 500 feet of qui Sisanit and rock. Ordinary were useless. Then along came a man named Herman Frasch, and he developed a pew process, simple, but something that had never oo- curred to anyone before. Three con. centrig pipes were sunk, one to melt the sulphur, another blowing com- pressed air to force the melted stuff out, and a third to carry it to the surface, where it was pumped into bins to cool and harden. Iron and Bronve Rasors The Romans and Pompeiians used iron for razors. Other ancients used bronze. It was not until the art of tempering steel was discovered that shaving took a long step forward in comfort. Ancient Greece pro- | duced razors of good quality, There were barbers in Greece 400 B. C. and Rome's first barber came from Sicily about 300 B. C. The first Roman to shave every day was Scip- io. The argument about to shave versus not to shave ik also ancient, and it has come down to this day. Defenders of the beard said it was a heat insulator, and an air strainer for pathogenic organisms. The oth. er side said beards were germ traps, History of ‘Silent Night’ Song The music of “Silent Night" was composed by Franz Gruber, an Aus. trian organist, and the words by Josef Mohr, an Austrian clergy- man.
