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.”

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

Water Witching
Water witching is hunting for un-
derground veins of water with a
forked stick. City people may scoff
at this method of locating well
| sites, but plenty of country dwellers
| will point out flowing wells which
| they say were dug where the forked
| stick dipped. 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. However,

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.
