RIDING ON A WHALES BACK.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Oct. An sd-
venture so singular in its character
happencd.to citizen of this town this
morning that, without the knowledge
of the parties aud the evidence OF those
near, it would be set down as Mum
chausen tale. Mr.. ID. Finney, with
his neighbor, Ancel Bartlett, were of
Guuner's Point, neutrality-suspicious.
shooting. They were in separate do
ries, as far apart as boats usually are
in that sport, when humpback whale
rose some distance off and spouted.
He rose again nearer the boat, and Mr..
Finney thought by the direction he
was taking, that the next time he came
he would come ahead of the boat, and
he would give him q shot. While
waiting for him to come up, kDeeling
in the bottom of the dory, he felt q
shock, and, as he expresses it, found
himself on the whales back dry shod.
The next thing he knew he went down
and came up on the other side of the
boat. Probably the whale sank when
he found be had rider. and drew the
man with him. When he came up he
was near Mr.. Bartlett's dory, and was
taken into his boat. Throughout the
whole he had held on to his gun, and
brought it on board with him. Bos-

A CURIOUS CALCULATION,

A very ingenious speculation was pub
lished about half a century ago as TO the
number OF a mans ancestors. 1t WAS
said that as every man must have two
parents, four grandparents, eight great
grandparents, and 80 Oh, it might fairly
be assumed OF any given man that thc
number of his direct ancestors living at
the time Of the Conquest might amount
to upward Of eight millions, preSumlng
that the number doubled about thrice in
each century. There are several curious
SEQUENCES of this idea, which are given
by Sir Richard Phillips, in his 'M orn-
lIg,s Walk from London to Kew" Grey,
according to WaIp0le, in 1749, had com-
pulel that "there must 60 million OF
ancestors in twenty generations TO every
bod,1s compositions" Touching the idea
itself it may be noted that there is in 1t
fundamental error, or, rather, coun-
teraotinK element, which soon checks
the increase OF ancestors, then neutral
ICES il, and finally dimlnishes 1t. TINS
cause is the "brother and sister" ele
ment. 1t is soon found tnat in tracing
up ancestors, that, for example, two
men and q woman, who ought in the pre-.
eeding generation TO have six parents,
being brothers and sister, have only two.
Hence, every mans pedigree, if it ooulu
be- iailly traced cut, would be repre-.
sented AS a double cone: two conesjolned
at their bases, the apex Of the one being
himself, the apex OF the other Adam
Probably the true form Of such q family
tree would be an ellipsis.

knife was a handy military tool. 1t is
human to make mistakes, ana bou-
Guerra made one.
1t ohanced to him to meet some
friend and admirers who congratulated
nim on his efficiency. Tdey asked TO Be
allowed TO inspect his weapons of which
the Arabs are amateurs. One admired
the chasing of hilt, another the p ay OF
lock, third was impressed by the
mechanism Of a repeating rifle. Then
some one suggested that weapons were
heavy things to carry, and doubted
whether the Father OF the Storm slung
his in the best way. Bou-Gusrr3s heart
waXed warm and friendly, and by way
OF demonstration he strapped all his
fighting gear over the shoulders and
round the waist Of one of his compan-
ions. The latter walked proudly about for
a few moments, and then rushed like
shot from the tent in which the inter-
view took place. BOu.Guerra was lett
unarmed, but not unnamed. He ran
after his deceive, but was tripped up,
and fell on his face. He made good
fight with natures weapons, but the
enemy was too many for him, though he
was SO unsportsmanlike as to bite a
piece out Of the shoulder OF one Of his
assallants. Bou Guerra was mastered,
and now awaits the decision OF justice
in a dungeon. He Is one of the most
striking examples OF the danger of MIS-
placed confidence. Though bad man,
something in his story touches human
sympathy, and one can not help being
rather sorry for the Father Of the storm.
