The discovery has been made that n

ing itself, with considerable SUCCESS, TO
boring into and destroying ocean cables.
Perhaps they are reporters 70 the cub
marine News in pursuit of terrestrial
items. Whales, likewise, seem TO have
q fancy occasionally TO interrupt the cur
rent OF information from shore to shore,
but their object in doing so appears to
be physical rather than an intellectual
one. Not long ago one Of them which
undertook TO interfere with the cable in
the Persian Gulf met the :uGl reward Of
his intermeddling. The cable baying
ceased to work, examination Teyeated
the fact that a whale had become en-
tangled in and broken it. The animal
was covered with parasites, and in at
tempting TO rid itself Of them hy Rubbing
its b0dy against the cable, the cable was
broken, and one of the ends then coiled
around the wbalR ~ such way that it
could not free ITSELF ana Ees thus sufIo-
