WAVE ACTION.
Wave and Tvave action form an in
teresting study. "Ve see the billows
carling toward the sliore, then break,
the sand and pebbles washing back
ward with them; who has not noted
the rapid changes of the ocean beach?
ThisEtonniearingit away, and that
one broadening it out; the gradual
wearing away of islands along their
seaward face, while at the same time
making to leeward. "What is the mean
effect of wave action on the conti
nents is a subject wliich, for the most
part, has been treated by hy
drographers like Admiral Davis,
Lieutenant Maury, and Beautemps
Beaupre. Now comes a geologist,
ProL Shaler, who, in a recent paper
discusses the subject from the stand
point of one familiar -with continent
formation, that is to say, from effect
to cause as well as from cause to ef
fect All the rocks, he says, bear un-1
deniable evidence that the sea has
swung over them in the oscillations of
the continent in its alternate uprisings
and downsiuldngs. All waves, save
those comiug from submarine npheav
ings, are cauvd by the wind. Wind
comes from variations of temperature,
the great trade winds being an effect
of the disparity letween the heat
of tho tropics and the peles:
difference in temperature be
tween sea and land causing load
winds. You can study wave action
on an ordinary ond. So says the au
thor. It the shore be a shelving one,
the waves will topple over, as do the
ocean's surges, and strike their blows.
After an artificial pond has existed
for a short period, it is easy to see
where these repeated blows have cut
the earth upon its shelving sides, so
as to form what is called a wave scarf,
and how the process of erosion goes
on. On ordinary soil, even upon rocks
of moderate hardness, this wave action
combined with the freezing which
takes place in winter breaks up the
earthy material and bears it outward.
The tops of tho waves move more
rapidly than the bottoms, thus all
wave-swept shores have an under
current movement of their waters,
which sets off from the coast line to
ward the deex?r waters. Where ever
a wave rolls up on a shore, it grinds
up a certain amount of material.
With the retlux of the surge this ma
terial is carried off to the edge of
the deeper water, the margin
of the surf belt, where the
undertow comes in to drag the
debris still further from the coast
Undertow has no influence near the
surface, which sets shoreward while it
is pressing seaward. Many lives are
lost at the bathing beaches, he thinks,
because the exhausted swimmer essays
to struggle ashore afoot instead of
throwing himself out flat in the sur
face waters.
Waves while scarfing a beach
against the shore build out a shelf
composed of all the material they had
dragged from the land, save that gone
into complete solution from grinding.
By this he means the outside bar, with
which every bather is familiar, the
same being composed of the detritus
Hundreds, indeed thousands, of miles
inland are found sandstones and clay
deiKJsits, which, m nearly all coses, in
dicate the fonncr presence of the sea,
under which they were formed precise
ly as like formations exist to-day in
the outer bars.
Says a Washington dispatch: Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles, of tho division of
the Pacific, is in Washington to ap
pear before the congressional commit
tee on coast defenses in support of
his report recommending that addi
tional protection to the Pacific coast
be made. The report of General
Miles has created a great deal of in
terest among congressmen here, who
were not aware that there was so
much need of coast defenses in Ore
gon and Washinvton. Tho average
congressman is not easily convinced
that the greatest harbor in the world
is on the Pacific coast, and it is
hard to teach them that the prin
cipal coast line of the Pacific is above
the California line. General Miles
believes Hint with the showing ho will
make the appropriation asked for in
tho bill now pending, 8125,000,000 for
the Atlantic and 28,000,000 for the
Pacific coast, will be favorably re
ported. The Oregon and Washington
delegations are very much interested
in the bill and will use all the influ
ence they possess to get through the
appropriation.
From the manner in which rail com
munication has been blockaded dur
ing the last few weeks, says an ex
change, a casual observer will almost
come to the conclusion that steam
boating is almost as reliable as the
iron rail. Man made the railroad and
God the river. Remove the obstruc
tions at The Dalles and the Cascades,
and allow the water to flow unvexed
to the sea, and the inland empire will
pour its wealth of production down
the bosom of the placid stream to tide
water by wholesale.

A VIGOROUS RICK. N
A. Merchant' Wife tho Bono of Confed)
tlon A Dcnonclat'-n.
A well known merchant who has been
greatly benefitted by Joy's Vegetable Sarsa
parilla, desired to givo it to his wife, who
was very delicate, but out of caution first
consulted his physician, Dr. W.IL Griswold
of 850 Market street. The doctor, who is one
of our leading practitioners objected, saying
ho had never seen a sarsaparilla that did not
contain potash, which thinned tho blood;
that his patient did not have any vitality to
lose, and that what tlclicato pcoplo need is
not decreased vitality, but moro blood. Ho
however consented when assured that Joy's
Vegetable Sarsaparilla was opposed to tho
blood thinning idea of other sarsaparillas,
and that on tho contrary by specific vegeta
ble alteratives it promoted digestion, and re
paired nutrition, hence created new blood
and was tho very thing for feeble people.
Tho abovo explains tho many cases in which
sged, delicate and run down people, have
been bui' up by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla
liter the potash sarsaparillas failed. Its ef
fects arc creating a sensation. S. r. Examiner
