Reports Special Camera Shows Exact Size of Waves Berlin, Aug. 10 (A —Reports about ocean waves fifteen yards and more in height says the eocial poli- tischer Dienst, are to be classed with {fairy tales. The length and height of waves, always a source of much speculation, have now been accure ately determined by means of a spe- cially constructed camera, according to the paper, and ordinary waves are from two to four yards high. They may raise to nine yards in a so-called high sea and even attain from ten to twelve yards in a vielent gale, Then length of the largest wave, that is from crest to crest, is described as about 300 yards, while the time in which one wave replaces another is estimated at twenty sece onds, The speed of a large wave, therefore, is about twenty yards a second, or that of an express train, READ THE HERALD CLASSIFIED Washinglon, Aug. 10 (P—The Philippine Islands gave promise of eventually bringing to the Amerjcan rubber user a part of his crude sup- ply The commercial department in a report tod on an exhaustive in- \estigation of the patential value of the archipelago for crude rubber ex- pressed the opinion that profitable production is possible therc.
