BOwl-Fights.

In many American colleges besides the
forbidden custom of hazing there are
other customs almost as unmanly and
disgraceful, which if not encouraged bv
the authorities are certainly not pro.
hibited. @
In one, State University, upon a GER
tain day, a luckless member of the Junior
class is placed in a huge wooden bowl,
and every student in the college battles
over him; some striving to drag him out
OF it by main force, the others to keep
him in. Coats and trousers are torn off.
arms and legs are broken; the fight be-
gun in fun ends in earnest On one
occasion pistols were drawn and the
medical students having joined in the
melee, the shameful spectacle was pre-
sented of dozen adult men who hoped
in month s time to have lives that were
in peril committed to their grave wisdom
and skill. driven through the streets like
felons in the charge of the police.
In another college, which ranks even
higher, the annual fight is for a wooden
baton; in still another for cane. To
prepare for the struggle in some cases
the young men strip to the waist and even
grease themselves.
One of these fights took place in day
light on public square few weeks ago
in full sight of women and children pass
ing by. A mass. of over hundred half
naked men lay struggling on the ground,
clawing, biting and tearing off the
clothes from each other. Nothing but
disgust was expressed in the faces Of the
spectators. Some Irish. laborers of the
lowest class looked on fora few moments
and then turned away.
81 thought these fellows were gentle
men. or the sons OF gentlemen. They're
beasts, was the contemptuous criticism
of one.
Now, athletic sports and any contest
which develops or even displays manly
strength are, and ought to be encour-
aged. But these meaningless, brutal
melees are indecent and demoralizing.
= Public opinion is rapidly assuming
higher ground on these questions, and
in few years man will be as ashamed
to confess that he had ever Joined in a
bowl fight or in hazing, as he would now
to exhibit himself human brute in a
prize-ring. = Youths Companion.

Whales and WbaIebOnes.

The Polar whale, or Bowhead, is not
the largesto of this Brobdignagian family,
though the king of Swift5s land of giants
would not have thought it small. A
very large individual may attain a
length Of sixty-five feet, but average
specimens fall short of fifty; and though
some have been known to yield as much
as275 barrels of oil and ton and three
quarters of baleen, anaverage whale does
not yield half these amounts. The iukes
of the tail are nineteen or twenty feet
across. Rather more than one-third of
the total length is occupied by the head,
and the great mouth reaches nearly to
the occiput. The Right whale of the
Northwest (Balana sieboldii) averages
sixty feet in length when grown, and oc-
casionally reaches seventy, is almost as
productive in oil as the Bowhead, and
yields from half to three-quarters Of a
ton of whalebone.
The Humpbaek (Megaptara variabilis)
is the equal in size of the two preceding.
but yields far less oil and baleen. In
shape it is even more ungainly than the
Bowhead, the hump upon its back, the
warts upon its head combining to add to
Its ugliness. The pectorals Of this spe-
cies are very large, often more than one
fourth of the total length. Smaller than
any of these is the migratory or Califor-
MIA gray whale (Rhachianectes glaucas),
comparatively graceful creature, some
forty-two feet long, that swims south
ward along the coast In. autumn, breeds
IN the lower lagoons of Lower California,
and goes northward In the spring. Ali
Elong the coast whaling stations are es-
tablished for the slaughter of this whale,

Speed Of Railway Trains.

The speed of a railway train is one of
the things that people almost uniformly
overfestimate, just as the seating capac-
ity of a building is generally put at too
high q figure. This observation is sug-
gested by recent railway achievement
in the Old World. A special train char
tered to convey a party of capitalists and
journalists from Paris to Vienna recently
performed that journey in twenty-eight
hours. AS the distance is little less
than 900 miles this constitutes an aver
aged speed ofraboat thirty-two3 miles an
hour, which is considered in that country
a remarkably good record. OF course
this does not compare with the speed
which has been attained in this country
for less distances, and is insignificant
when contrasted with English rates of
speed for shorter distances. But for
through continuous travel in an uneven
country it is accounted a memorable
achievement. The Railroad Guide for
the present month indicates that the
fastest express train between New York
and Chicago consumes just twenty nine
hours in accomplishing the trip-a dis
tance of 975 miles. This is found TO
represent an average speed of thirty
three and two-thirds miles an hour. It
thus appears that we are not much ahead
of European countries generally in this
respect, and the difference may readily
be accounted for on the ground Of
greater physical difficulties in the dis.
trictreferred GeUeload Herald.
