WhalebOnc.

The market price of baleen is exceed
ingly variable, depending on the fash
ion OF the day. 1t is not SO valuable
now as used to be the case some years
ago, steel having superseded it for
many purposes. The price may range
from t500 to 1850 per ton, and a good
whale ought to produce about two tons.
In 1874 single vessel sold her cargo of
baleen and oil for f9,56S, but such
times are not likely to return. Miner
al oils have now supplanted train oils
for many purposes, and perpetual hunt
ing has diminished the numbers as well
as the size of the whales, no animal
having chance of attaining its full di-
mensions before it is harpooned. Of
ten, nowadays, whaling ship returns
clean, ]. e., without having captured
q single whale, so that, what with the
lessened prices and diminished num-
bers and dimensions OF the animals,
whaling has become. almost lottery
instead of a solid investment of capital,
and few shipowners care to run such a
risk. Furnished with its wonderful
horny sieve, the Greenland whale has
no difficulty in procuring its food.
With mouth more or less open it swims
backward and forward through the
shoals of the Clio, which mostly are
found near the surface. The water es-
capes freely between the horny plates
and lining fringe. while the animals are
detained within the cage. When it
wishes to swallow the prey which it has
caught it employs its tongue, which is
not less remarkable than the rest of the
whales structure. The tongue is not
free except at the base, as with man.
mails generally, SO that it is impossible
for the animal to protrude its tongue
from its mouth. The tongue is fixed
by nearly the whole of its edge, so that
it can only be protruded upward. /
once had an opportunity of examining
the tongue of small baleen whale
which had been cast ashore. 1t was of
great size, smooth on the surface, and
| could not help thinking that it was
very like soft, well-stuffed pin cush-
ion. pressed upon its center with my
fingers, and found that pit was form
ed which rapidly filled with oil. Then
] took hammer and pressed the head
Of it on the tongue. The pit formed by
the pressure became deeper and larg-
er, and filled so fast with oil that not
only was the whole of the hammer sub
merged in the oil, but my hand and
wrist also. The ignorance which pre-
vailed in former days on this subject is
amusingly exemplified in the old docu-
ment which constituted the whale q
royal fish" "The King himself shall
have the head and body to make owl
and other things, and the Queen the
tayl to make whalebones for her royal
vestments. ~. @. Wood, IN Long
mans Magazine.

Two Friends.

We have always had sincere af-
lection for that keen-witted and some
what skeptical scientist, who believes
less than he hears and not all that he
sees, and has the trick of discrediting
the signs of emotion with more critical
frankness than falls to the lot of most.
Exclusive and concentrated for his own
part, he does not take well with catho-
licity; and he looks ON general amia-
bility, SO he says, as a ''thundering''
fault We know that to be with him
is to be sacrificed before we leave him.
Yet we are glad to meet him, all the
same; thinking too that little honest
1aying- without witnesses--is by no
means unwholcsome for ones soul.
Then there is that other friend who
stands at the opposite end of the scale
"a prophesier of smooth sayings
the weaver of silken tissues only--the
sweetest, softest, blandest and most
amiable creature under heaven. To
be in his society is like seeing onesef
in a mirror that beauties every fea-
ture and glorifies every circumstance
of ones condition. He finds no fault,
but on the contrary, paints only our
virtues in the brightest colors, so that
we may be excused if-human nature
being but frail kind Of thing at the
best-we find him one Of The most
charming companions in the world;
until the inevitable question forces IL
self on our mind: .'How much Of all
this is real and how much is pretty fa-
ble and polite fatteryp" Then we pre-
fer the rougher tools Of our scientific
friend; and think that between the
two the disproportioned blame of the
one and the sincere praise of the other
the former is the more commenda-
Die.

R0UCHlNC 1T.

Mr.. John Dowsett has just re-
turned from a roughing expedition
to Maui. He tells of the fine shoot
ing, of innumerable cattle, goats,
sheep, turkeys, quail ducks and
plover and how he and party ascend
ed on horseback to the regions OF
cool atmosphere. They took tent,
pair Of blankets, some pepper and
salt, and depended ON their firearms
for food. Mr.. Dowsett says, at
was cold, l tell you." He had only
light shirt and thin pair of pants
on, and it was cold, 81 tell YOU"
He had to hug the fire and perform
other ceremonies to keep warm.
Even the horses shivered. Water
was scarce on the way; sometimes
the horses would not have any for
two or three days, but Dowsett says
the animals didn't want to drink, it
was too cold.
The returned hunter enraptured
the boys at Notes this noon with q
vivid description of tramping for
days through sand knee deep, the
horses jumping from pals and walk
ing on the clouds, and of the grand
feast on black berries at Olinda.
How they came to jungle which
was full of cattle. You could hear
them walk, says Dowsett, but you
couldn't see them. Another time,
from an elevated position, they saw
several head of cattle in valley
around small pond. The hunters
fired-didn't hit them, ''you know"
but they did scamper off, ~ tell
YOU"
Dowsett says he had glorious
time. Two solid weeks of good fun,
you-bet-your-life. A man named j.
Wilson, who makes his living by
shooting cattle for three dollars a
head, is said to be crack shot and
is fast wiping out all the game on
Maui.

OBITUARY..

Col. John Russell, barrister, died
between nine and ten O'Clock this
morning, at the house of Mrs. Long,
Pauoa Valley. He was a native of
the North of Ireland, but came here
from the United States. His title
of Colonel was acquired on the
staff of the Governor of New Jersey.
Mr.. Russell practised law for time
in Philadelphia, where brother now
lives. He came here in delicate
health over five years ago, and, al
though practising before our courts,
was never other than an invalid. 1t
is about three months since he was
compelled to leave his Office for his
bed. The consumption that afflicted
him so long took its fatal turn to
dropsy. His age was about 45 years.
The deceased was of retiring habit
socially, but nevertheless made many
friends in Honolulu. The funeral
will take place from st. Andrews
Cathedral at o'clock tomorrow.

PORTUGUESE PROGRESS.

From the revelations of the LatsO
Ha,oaiiano as they appear in the
different numbers, it is shown that
the Portuguese colony in these
islands are animated with a good
deal more public spirit than is gen
orally known. The Luso has al
ready showed that the Portuguese
have special society of mutual
help" that they have started of late
a cooperative society of produce
and consumption" and a brass
band, that they are thinking of or
ganizing fire and military COM
pany; in this weeks issue there is
an article on the Portuguese rowing
association, which intends, it APP
pears, to show out at the next re-
gatta for ii. MS birthday. 1t is
refreshing to see so much life in
this new element of our population,
and it is promising fact for the
future, as shortly good many
Portuguese now on the other islands
will have finished their time of con-
tracts and will turn out to work for
themselves and take more part in
public life. The last issue of the
Luso is replete with information
well selected for its class of readers,

by Mr.. Lycan, offering homestead

Another great irrigation enterprise
is now under way in San Bernardino
county, Cal. 1t is the Gage canal,
to water the plains above and east
of Riverside. The canal will carry
only 1900 inches of water, but it is
to be fumed across the Santa Ana
River, and there are three tunnels,
one of which is 1,040 feet in length.
1t will cost $3.50, 900 to complete the
work.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Meeting.

The adjourned annual meeting of
the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Society was held last evening at the
Hawaiian Hotel, the Hon. A. S.
Cleghorn in the chair. The secre-
tary read letter from Hon. A. F.
Judd saying that he could not con-
sent to reelection as vice-president.
The Hon. A. S. Cleghorn was nomi-
mated for vice-president. No other
nomination being made, and the
rules of the Society requiring cleo
ton of officer by ballot, unanimous
vote was passed requesting the secre-
tary to cost a ballot mem con for
Mr.. Cleghorn, who was accordingly
declared elected. The remaining
officers of the Society were elected as
follows: S. M. Damon, Treasurer;
Justice McCully, DIR. R. McKibbin,
B. f. Dillingham;, w. M. Giffard,
Chas. Lucas, A. Jaeger, Committee
men; j. S. Webb, Secretary. The
reelection of Mr.. Webb as Secre-
tary was coupled with vote of
thanks for his past services. A vote
of thanks was also passed to the
Hon. A. f. Judd, Past Vice-Presi-
dent; and Mr.. A. Jaeger, Past
Treasurer; for the diligent and eff
cient manner in which the duties of
their respective offices were per-
formed.
Mr.. Jaeger remarked that the
trees, plants and flowers cultivated
at the Government nursery are cul-
tivated for the use of any persons
who may apply for them, and that
he had frequently offered through
the public prints to give them away,
but there did not seem to be suffi-
cient interest taken in their cultiva-
ton to induce persons to come or
take them away. A short time ago,
he had some thousands of palms to
give away, and communicated the
information to newspaper reporter,
but the applications were exceed
ingly few.
Justice McCully observed that the
great objection which had been
taken against the executives doings
was that the exhibition had been
held at the Kapiolani Park, instead
of on a nearer site. The members,
however, had exhausted every pos
sible resource to obtain suitable
location for the show, and averse
though they were to going out OF
town, they went there because they
could not help themselves.
Justice Bickerton warmly com.
mended the diligence and enthu'
siasm with which Mr.. Jaeger hat
performed his duties in the care ant
development of the Government
nursery.
Mr.. G. c. Kenyon's name wa
added, on payment of the regulation
fee, to the roll of membership.
There being no further bushes
the meeting adjourned.
