Raising Whales in Great Salt Lake.

Newspaper readers perhaps have not
forgotten the Inauguration Is years ago
by Mr. James Wickham, a scientific Eng
lish gentleman, of the whale industry in
the Great Salt Lake. The Austrian whale
was selected as best suited to the climate
of Great Salt Lake. The greater part OF
two years was occupied off the co@StS OF
Australia by vessel sent especially for
the purpose in continued efforts to capture
the Young whales without injury. The
feat, however, was at last accomplished,
and the beasts leach about IS feet long
were shipped to san Francisco in 1873 IN
tanks built expressly for them. FIFTY
tanks of sea water accompanied their over
land shipment. to insure plentiful supplies
of the natural element.
Mr. Wickham came from London in per-
son to Superntend the planting oi ms
ieyiathan pets. He selected small bay
near the mouth Of Bear river, connected
with the main water by shallow strait
half mile wide Across this strait he
built wire fence. and inside the pen 50
formed he turned the whales loose. After
few minutes of inactivity they disportcd
themselves in lively manner, spoutiug
water as in mid ocean. but as If taking in
hy instinct or intention the craInpcd char
aCter of their new home, they suddenly
made a bee line for deep water, and shot
through the wire fence aS If II had been

out of sight, and the chagrincd Mr.. Wick

which Parliament had supplied for the

only defensive war, but eve for that
the vast of England were
found insufficient. The Dutch insulted
the British court, sailed up the Thames,
took sheerness and carried their ravages
to Chatham; the blaze of the burning
ships was seen in London; it was ru-

at Gravesend, and military men serious
" proposed to abandon the tower.

A Mfnhtm Bear Hunter.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned this morning about town when
Mike Wallace, the old time Water
Canyon miner, came in T from the
West with a wagon loaded with
dead bear, there being . four car
cases, which he disposed of to the
Blanchard Meat and Supply company.
1t appears that day or two ago Mike
Wallace, accompanied by a Mr.. Hanna,
took a stroll up the. canyon some dis
lance from the residence of the former.
and suddenly Wallace discovered sew
eral big bears before him. Almost
at the same moment bears rose up
all around him, the timber being full Of
them. Wallace began work with his
Winchester, and when the magazine
was emptied, he seized Hanna's rifle and
continued to lower the price Of meat in
this vicinity. In but a few moments he
had succeeded in killing seen big
bears, and with the help Of miners fur
ther down The canyon, who were sum-
moned to assist five of the animals were
carried to the camp. The last two
were killed within ten feet of Wallace
and charging down upon him when he
shot them, SO that his escape was mar
vellous one. Nineteen bears in all were

"The present favor the violin is re-
ceiving from young ladies'" said Pro-
lessor Simon jacobson, "has not been
exaggerated in the published accounts.
Originally 6 mero fad of a few social
leaders in the East particularly Boston,
it has become an enthusiasm with ladies,
and in Chicago there are several hun
dred young ladies learning the noble in
strument. Possibly the example OF
Camilla Urso's playing is something of a
stimulus; but, at any rate, there are
scores of young ladies engaged, and
with wondessEF Zeal. The difficulties
at the outset in learning the violin daunt
a good many men, but these only seem
to encourage young ladies. Every in
~structor notices this remarkable differ
ence between the sexes. The girls, to-
practice harder and longer. Do they
make good performers9 Indeed, yes.
The violin is a lady's instrument, giving
forth its sweetest sounds to her delicate
touch and rejecting her warm, SYM
pathetic nature. Oh, yes, ladies make
fine performers. There are several in the
city whose work not SO very men can
surpass. "---[Chicago News.
