and come to Davenport;" that ha "had

FORTUNES FOR POST STAMPS
Millions af Dollars larested la the

A million and a half dollars for a collec
tion of rare objects small, perishable, not
always beautiful, sometimes with little his
toric interest 4t is a pretty sum to pay.
Btz hundred thousand dollars that Is an
other expenditure that might very well
make ordinary folk open thler eyes. Fifty
thousand dollars a year to gratify a hobby
that ! not yachting or buying old masters
that again would make most persons
think a great many more times than twice.
But these are the sums men pay for
stamps, postage stamps, some new and
some black with the Ink of the canceling
machine, but worth often hundreds or even
thosuands of dollars apiece.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the American Philatelic socjety
la to be celebrated this year In Chicago by
a great exhibition of stamps of many fa
mous collectors. At the same time there
will be an International exhibition In
Vienna.
People who do not collect stamps or who
resrard that passion as one of the passing
phases of boyhood may be somewhat sur
prised to know that two large exhibitions
can be successfully carried on at one time.
They will receive a further shock when
they learn that there are now millions of
dollars literally millions. It Is no figure of
speech Invested In the stamp business.
In Paris Is a. gentleman who calls him
self M. La Renotiere. "Calls himself la
a proper turn of phrase In this connection,
because he really Is a Marquis de Ferrari,
' but he' has come to dielike titles and all
the attributes of greatnees. and lives as a
simple gentleman. This Is the man whv
haa paid for the beet collection of stamps
In the world not less, they say, than a
million and a half dollars.
He comes of an old and very wealthy
family of Oenoa, and the taste for collect
ing la In the blood. His mother gave Parle
a museum, and to this Institution M. La
Renotiere win leave his wonderful collec
tion, that tt may be a delight and a marvel
to his fellow enthusiasts as long aa stamps
pass through tha postage office and adorn
the albums of collectors.
Next In value to the collection of M. Ta
Renotiere comes that of an American, Mr.
a. H. Worthlngton of Cleveland. He Is a
wealthy business man whose one great
recreation Is the collecting of stamps, lie
keeps a secretary who does nothing but
attend to thin hobby of his. He has some
stamps that are worth a fortune and many
that sell for mors than the average pro
fessional man can earn In a month. Pome
time ago the collection was valued at
1500,000, and tt is probable that today a
valuation of fmo.OPO would fall short of
the price his albums would bring.
The British Museum has perhaps the
third finest collection, thru of the late
Mr. Tapllng. a member of Parliament, who
bequeathed his stamps to the museum In
1890. At thst time they were said to be
worth $300,000. but they would bring today
muoh more than that sum.
King George has a remarkable collection
and Is honorary president of the Royal
Phllatello society, but he has seclaltzed
closely. Most collectors nowadays special
ise, because there are so many stamps la
the world that It ts Impossible to schleve
real distinction as a collector unless some
comparatively sma'l field Is chosen. Men
Ilka M. La Renotiere, who have collected
for many years and have spent fortunes
on their stamps, have good general collec
tions, but usually even the rich collectors
have their specialties. King George's ts.
Very properly, the British empire.
Although his collection Is outranked in
value by five or six others of different
kinds, he has the distinction of having
paid the record price for a stamp. Over
7,io was given at auction f ir a t-penny
blue Mauritius stamp of the year 1147 a
thing certainly of no beauty, but one of
the rarest stamps In the world. Not more
than eleven are known to exist.
The specialty of Henry Crocker of San
Francisco has been Hawaiian stamps, and
he has a collection that Is being sent over
to Vleuna to set a pace for collectors there.
He la not looking for prises, for he haa
already won all that can be competed for.
Jn Itndon soma years ago his Hawaiian
tamps won the gold championship medal.
which meana that It was not only the
heat exhibition of Hawaiian stamps, but
the best exhibit shown at all.

of them are the "missionary stamps,"

sionaries first went to Hawaii, records of
the days when the natives danced and
sang and wore wreaths of flowers around
their necks and knew not the atrocities of

the blue 3-cent stamp, of which not a dozen
Fpecimens could be mustered In the whole
world. The 11-cent stamp was used on
letters (5 cents postage in Hawaii and 8
cents to this country), but the 2-cent stamp
was for newspapers, and as newspaper

SIZE AND FORCE OF WAVES
Tremendous Tower of Ooean Bil
lows on Shore and
Ships.
Measurements of the size of waves have
now been made systematically for many
years, but they relate chiefly to the waves
of the open sea, where the depth of the
water Is so great that the friction of the
sua bottom exercises no modifying effect.
A few months ago the North German
IJoyd liner Brandenburg came into New
York harbor with its crow's nest, fifty
feet above the water line, stove In, and
bearing many other marks of the damage
wrought by a monster wave that broke
over its bows about l.OOn miles east of
Sandy Hook. The officers estimated the
height of the wave at sixty-five feet. This
height is exceptional, but not unprece
dented, for it must be remembered that the
breaking of a wave against an obstacle
throws the water to a far greater height
than the unbroken wave could attain.
Unbroken waves due to the wind may in
extreme cases reach a height from trough
to crest of forty to fifty feet. Mucu
higher waves occasionally occur as a result
of earthquakes or Beaquakes. "Solitary"
waves of this character have sometimes
been ercountered in otherwise tranquil
weather, taking vessels by surprise and
not infrequently sending them to ths bot
tom. According to Vaughan Cornish, who has
probably devoted more attention to this
subject than any other contemporary man
of science, the average height of the waves
encountered In a severe storm at sea is
twenty feet, but the ordinary maximum
height of the waves In the same storm
will attain thirty feet In a storm of very
exceptional violence the average height
may reach thirty feet, and the maximum
height forty-five feet. This Is regarded as
about the limit of the height of waves due
to wind only. Cornish finds that in the
open Bea the height of a wave in feet Is
about one-half the velocity of the wind In
miles per hour.
Tho force of a great wave breaking
against a sea wall or other construction is
so terrific as to tax the strength of the
best planned work of the engineer. A

force of impact of such waves was devised
by Stevenson over half a century ago, and
modifications of this Instrument have since
been Introduced by several Investigators.
According to Stevenson the maximum force
of an Atlantic wave Is three tons per
square foot. French engineers find that
the force of the waves on the breakwater
at Cherbourg may attain three and a halt
tons per square foot.
Soma Interesting examples of the height
to which breaking waves may be thrown
and the work they may do In moving
heavy objects are given by Wheeler In
his "Practical Manual of Tides and
Waves."
Stevenson records a case in Which water
was thrown to a height of 106 feet at the
Bell Rock light. At the Alderncy break
water it is said that water has been thrown
upward 200 feet. At Peterhead, where the
"fetch" is 300 miles, waves of thirty feet
in height and from GOO to 6(10 feet in length
have been recorded; the water has struck
tha breakwater with such force as to be
thrown upward 120 feet, and blocks of
concrete weighing forty tons have been
displaced atMevels of seventeen to thirty
six feet below low water.
At Wick two stones weighing eight and
ten tons each were thrown over the para
pet of the breakwater, the top of which
was twenty-one feet above high water;
while blocks of concrete weighing respec
tively 1,350' and 2,600 tons were displaced,
though there Is some doubt whether the
latter movement was due entirely to wave
action.
At the Bishop Rock lighthouse, which is
exposed to the full force of the Atlantic
waves, an Iron column weighing over three
tons waa thrown up twenty feet and landed
on top of the rock.
At the harbor woj ks of nil boa In 1 SIM, u
solid block of the breakwater weighing
1.700 tons, was overturned from its place
and dropped Into the water.
At Ymulden breakwater a block of con
crete weighing twenty tons, placed outside
the harbor walls, was lifted by a wave to
a height of twelve feet vertically and
landed on top of the pier, which was five
feet ( bove high water. .
