Judge Edwards nt adjoin nlnfr time was engaged In trying the case of Jos eph Kohler against "W. K. Gllhool. It Is a. disputed wage claim for $256.45. Judge Archbald late In the afternoon called the assumpsit case of A. F. Smith against George A. Clearwater. J. X. Connell & Co.'s Demurrer. Welles & Torrey, counsel for the de fendants, filed a demurrer yesterday In the equity suit of David Spruks against J. Xj. Connell & Company. The plaintiff, It will be remembered, asked for an Injunction to restrain the defendants from using a certain woid as part of the name of a brand of cigars, alleging It was an Infringement upon a trade mark adopted previously by the plaintiff. The demurrer goes on to say that the name In question does not consti tute a trade maik within the meaning and protection of the law: that theie Is no allegation of Imitation or simi larity between the boxes, markings or cigars, and that the woid In question Js generally used as a name for in numerable articles fiom a. wooden can non to a patent medicine.

We who "sit at home at eat,e" listen ing: to the gale or reading of ships go ing down In the storm, hae but a vague idea of the size and power ot the wtaves. Novelists tell us that the sea, tuns mountains high on certain occasions, but the exact height is us ually left to the imagination of tho reader. To properly appreciate the majesty of the waves, or swell, of the ocean in thejr wrath, it is necessary to see them, no doubt u but a few easily grasped figures and facts' will enable ur to obtain a very patlsfactory im pression of -what a life on the ocean vave may mean at times. Tnere Is a general notion that a wave is a body of water moing along; that it, that the billow which we observe at a distance of several yards and watch until It reaches nnd passes us, Is tho same body ot water in different places. This la erroneous. A wave Is the out ward sign of 'a state of strain, some forx brought to bear on the water. When the force is first applied to the water it causes a displacement of the particles ot which tho fluid Is com posed, for water is practically incom pressible, and the particles first af fected pass the stress on to tho next and resume their former equlllbilum. And so the oscillatory movement goes oil over the whole space or until the force is spent. Throw a stone into a pond and you W 111 sec this at once. The force of the falling stone drives the particles ot winter aside In all dlteotlons. They Impart the force to their ntlghbors, A fs'l hank into their nlaccs. The ripple which we watch is simply the force of tho fall of the stone being passed on. Hence, a wave Is a mo tion, not a mass In movement. The elodty of a wao depends upon the wind, the depth of water and the length of the w ave from crest to crest, or, as we should describe it In popular language, the distance fiom the top of one wave to the top cf the next. To the man of science a w ave is the space from crest to cist, whereas the ordi nal y person measures from hollow to hollow. The height of the wave." varies In different 6pthi of wnter, as well as In accordance with thdr length. Dr. Scoresby, who measured tho waves of the Atlantic, found sonii. to bo forty three feet from ciest to trough, while others, In comparatively shallow wate? were between four and five feet. He estimated the average height to be ten feet. A wave COO feet long In the At lantic usually has a height of thirty feet, and moves at the rate of thirty two miles an hour. But a storm biings about variations of these calculations, while eirth quakes are also responsible for many vagaries. Careful estimates by experienced men have shown that duilng a heavy storm In tho South Atlantic tho waves are often fifty feet high, while their length for that height Js about 400 feet. Near Santander, on the Spanish coast, waves nearly eighty feet high, with a length of rather less than 400 feet, hae been noted. In the North sea waves raiely exceed 150 feet In length and fifteen feet In height. The longest wave ever measured was In the Atlantic; It was L',720 feet and It iPoved at the rate of a mile a minute. In the Bay of Biscay waves 1,320 feet have bien observed; they were mov ing Pt the rate of forty miles an hour. Earthquakes play nemo peculiar pranks with the waters. During that which occuired nt Samoda, on the Is land of Nlphon, in Japan, tho harbor was emptied of water, then the water came back In a rush, only to receds again. This occurred several times. Now mark w hat took place. The wav? or swell traveled nrross the l)0"oin ot tho Pacific ocean to San Francisco, 4,800 miles away, In twelve hours and sixteen minutes, equal to six and n, h-ilf mllej a minute. The self-regl?-teting recoider at the latter place is proof of this. In 1SS3, duilng an earthquake In Java, a wave swept along a total coast line of forty miles. It was apparently tiled of tho sea anil wanted a spell ashore, for It did not confine itself to the beach. It traveled Inland, and, in a portlvo mood, It landed n steamer two miles Inland In a Jungle. The biggest solitary wave ever known was caused by the Peruvian euithquake of 1S6S. Never has such a wave been originated by a seismic distui banco that was !n Itself of ao small mi arta. At Arlca, Pciu, Its height was fifty feet. This also went ashore, carrying with It two warships and depositing them a mile beyond the railway. Then ,lt went on a Journey around the globe. At ban I'euro, i;m., it Jiad increased Its statute, by ten feet. It vlpltcd tho Sandwich Islands and agatn went nshore, quite submeiglng soma ot the smaller members of the group. It reached Yokohoma, Japan, In the early hours of the next morning, having taken In New Zealand on Its way, and finally rpent itself in the South Atlan tic after beating the "round the world" recoid.

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS. What the March Letter of the Oper- ators' Association Has to Say About Anthracite Coal Trade. The March letter of the Anthracite Coal Operators' association says about the condition of the market: "The course of the anthracite mar ket during the past month has been as anticipated In the last letter. The amount of coal coming to market when the demand was light tended to lower prices, gradually forcing them to the level of the anticipated opening circu lar for the spring trade. The short period of cold weather and partial suc cess In reducing the production pre vented a further decline.but the montn closed with the market In a delicate condition. "The month ot March opens with much uncertainty. The estimated con sumption Is calculated at about 2,500, 000 tons, but the unsold interior and tide stocks are large and stocks held by dealers at nearly all points are fully up to their requirements. In the west the same condition prevails, owing to the mild weather, and receipts of an thracite have been less than the previ ous year, though a greater quantity of bituminous coal has been taken. "The entire situation is most uncer tain. An excess of coal marketed or efforts to force sales at shaded prices would likely tip the balance toward lower piite. While the companies may endeavor to hold the situation well In hand, there are other elements which may upset their calculations, and even a small tonnage can destioy all efforts at control. "It Is the undoubted Intention ot the larger interests to strive to fceep prices nt about their present level through out the spring. Their success remains to be seen."

DIRECTIONS IN HAWAII. the Little Attention Is Paid to Points of the Compass. Honolulu Correspondence, Chicago Her ald. Visitors to Honolulu are often per plexed to get the points of tho com pass fixed In their minds with refer ence to streets and locations. They are stilt moro perplexed to And nobody who knows them nnd nobody who feels the need of knowing them. To the vis itor, especially from the Mississippi valley, wheie tho congressional survey of public lands has laid out everything four-square, so that directions and dis tances arc always thought ot In their relation to north, south, cast or west, this Is Incomprehensible, Tho Islands are all small and of vol canic origin. There Is at least one main range of mountains on each Is land, though there may be subsidiary ones. As Is well known, mountains do not run with special reference to the points of tho compass. And the narrow vallevs cut and eroded out of the o1 canlo mass and extending from the mountains to the ,ca bear still less appreciable relation to them. So that if one wete to establish the points of the compass with relation to any one of these vallejs a quarter of a mile would bring him to another, where he would have to take his bearings all afresh. But thero uro two objects he can never get out of sight of. These aic the mountain and the sen. And on this fact the basis of the nomen clature and of the system of direction rests. With relation to any point the two cardinal directions nro toward tho mountain and towntd tho sea. Now, the native Hawaiian terms for these arc "mauka," toward or In the direc tion of the mountain, nnd "mak.il" (pronounced makhl, the I long), toward or In the direction of the sea. Tho topography of tho country, a pedes of vallejs extending from the mountain to the sea, nnd tho feudal tenure under which land was held In tho ancient day led to the division ot the country into nanow strips or dis tricts maku, as the larger were called; ahupuou, the next smaller, nnd III, those still smaller; but all, with very few" exceptions, extending from the scashoie to tho top of the moun tain. In this way the common people, restricted to their own Ills, yet had access to the sea to fish nnd swim and ride the surf, to the mountain for fire wood and building material, and to tho land between to cultivate taro. The boundaries oC these districts were all carefully defined In time Immemorial nnd remain the same todav. Moreover, each district had Its name, and that name remains. With the mountain nbove and tho sea below and the nanow dl-.tilots In succession, each with Its boundaries and name well defined, tho basis of the system and nomenclature of direction was complete. A given point or ob ject Is "mauka," toward the mountain or "makal," toward the sea. In rela tion to another object or point; and It Is "waihlhl," In the direction ot the district of Waihlhl, or "ewa." in tho direction of the district of Ewa, for the other relations of direction.

Ms. Ut I INTERNATIONAL! Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Penn'a. ? , That Originated Correspondence Instruction in the Engineering Trades and Professions in 1891. f BETCTiLraE of COUNTERFEITS 5 V OU CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by enrolling with one of our imitators. You are certain to lose the money you pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction are illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa tion for its practical use. Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial Sciences was originated in The International Coi respondent Schools, of Scranton, Pa., in October, i89t. Since that time, we hae taught the Theory of the Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as Mechanical and Architectural Drawing, to thousands of Industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon sible positions. Our rolU contain the names of students in e ery part of the civ il ized world. That a method or an ln ention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly grow in favor with the lapse of time, Is proof positive of Intrinsic value. These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching methods especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction and Question Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college tetbookb, and cost us over $300,000 to prepare and our imitators are compelled to employ a cheaper but an utterly Impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges and the universities. If the industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no field for The International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army of 160,000 students could never have been assembled. Our instruction and Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the textbooks used by students in the regular schools in the following important respects: THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong both in theory and practice. The authors of textbooks intended for use in colleges and universities have thorough scientific training, indeed, but they have little or none of the know ledge that can be gained only by doing by experience. They do not know, and. therefore, omit to mention in their books, the way in which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are familiar only to the expert both in theory and practice, and only such men are em plovedas ITdltors and Instructors by the Management ot these Schools. FOURTH' ne men tnai mae our textbooks su pervise the instruction of our students. No one can te3ch the contents of a book so well as the man th it wrote the book; he knows better than anv one eUe what is in the book, why it is there, and its importance with reference to the other parts of the entire subject FIFTH' Tneu are frequently revised. BemK private ' " "" property, protecteJ by cop) right, school and college textbooks cannot be dunged at the pleasure of thosethat use them In order to correct what is wrong, improv e what is faulty, smooth away difficulty, and insert what is of later discov ery, changes must be nnde v ery frequently. Our Instruction Papers belong to us; and in our Editorial Dtpartment, they au 111 constant comparison with what Is latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind are therefore remedied without delay. In the case of textbooks on Applied Phv slcal Science, the need of revision occurs w ith specht frequency. Take blectrical books, for example; many works on this subject printed five ears ago are now nearly worthless, for the reason that they are out ol date.

We do not occupy the time of our students in the study of the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach them how to apply rules and formulas. SECOND: TheU are m0re Pnct'Cal. Ordinary school w"" w v' m"r and college textbooks, such as are used by our Imitators, contain no examples relating to Mining, Mechanics, Steam Engineering. Electricity, Architecture, Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Sheet-Metal Pattern Drafting, or Civil Engineering. In eaeh of our Courses, the examples and processes refer directly to the trades or professions of the class of students for whom the Course was prepared: so that from the beginning our students are getting valuable knowledge and are learning to apply It. Our students In drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become as proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleces. 1 lis principles un derlying our system of teaching drawing are entirely different from those in tha sv stems employed in the regular schools, colleges, and universities, and there is no other system by which drawing is taught as successfully through the mails. Any system of education for people with limlteJ t me to devote to study by the correspondence method that relie'.on the use of school and collegi textbooks will end in failure; the student thitpays his money for such tuition will get no re turns.
