Thirty Years in a Whale.

There has just been received at the No
tional Museum in this city, to be placed
in the fisheries section, an interesting
souvenir of the Arctic whale fisher
which Captain w. }. Collins, the super
intendent of that department. greatly
prizes. 1t is an old fashioned, hand
nodded swivel harpoon, which has
quite story, as CLEANED from the pa
pers accompanying it. While in the
Ohkotsh Sea last summer, the ship
Cape Horn Pigeon" commanded BY
Captain L. Nathan Rogers, captured
whale, in the blubber of which was i'm
bedded foreign substance. On inves-
LEGATION this proved to be harpoon'
broken off at the junction with the
lance, which had been in the whale
over thirty years. On the hinge oftne
harpoon was stamped in plain letters
IS. T. D." ship Thomas Dickerson'
and the name of the maker, not so PLAIN
could also be made out. This was the
first and only messenger from the gooo
ship Dickerson, which sailed from New
Bedford in 1856, and was lost the next
year in the very waters where the ere"
of the Cape Horn Pigeon secured the
harpoon thirty-two years later.--W asn'

Tho K,nrrat and fha Rat.

On sultry evening last week bat
flew into the sitting room of house
at Scranton, Pa, and dashed against
the parrots cage. 1t struck the cage
with force enough To drive it between
tho wires, and it began to creep
around the bottom of the cage and
dap its injured wings. The parrot was
asleep when the bat few in, but it got
awake in an instant, and it screeched
and screamed and yelled "Oh my" SO
many times that the lady Of tho house
ran in from the piazza to see what the
trouble was with the family pet. The
moment she entered the room the par.
rot told the huttering little creature
to get out in a very shrill tone, re.
pcaling the command a number OF
times. The bat didn't get out, al
though it tried very hard to do so,
and the parrot got mad, bristled up
and dived from its perch at the puny
intruder For few seconds the par
rot had such a lively tussle in the
bottom of tho cage that it upset every
thing and scattered seeds all around
the room, and then it hoped back to
its perch and began to scratch its
throat with its right foot as though it
had been bitten by the bat
"Graciousi how that hurt!'' the par.

ed and tried to defend itself when the
parrot tackled it, but the ugly bird
used both claws and bill, and it soon
had the bats wings torn into strips.
Then it gave the bat pinch on the
neck, shook it up and down, dropped
it suddenly and hoped to tho top Of
the cage and shrieked, looking down
at the lying little creature. When the
parrot saw the bat was dead, it looked
at its mistress, jumped from its perch

and yelled out;

VALUE or THE DOC IN WAR.

sono u the Uses 70 which Our Canine
f criends Ars Being Trained.
4 Veterinary Surgeon Bennett, in his
lecture at the United States institute,
told the interesting and strange story
Of the war dog from Roman days
downward Coming to Christian times
we are reminded Of the war dog used
by the Spaniards in America; BY the
Earl OF Essex in Ireland during the re-
bellion; by the English in the defense
Of Tangiers. when dogs saved the
guards from great ambush Of Moors;
OF the famous French dog Mustache,
WHO detected a surprise the first night
before Alexandria, who fought at Ma
rengo. saved the standard Of his regi,
Gtrnt before Austerlitz, and was deco
rated on the battlefield. Then the lee
Tuner recalled how, after the famous
campaign of Gen. Skobeloff in Asia
Minor. Tue Russians decided to instruct
dogs as sentinels, and how finally the
Germans took up the question in 1885
and developed it until now dog can
carry back a message from outposts
more quickly than the best mounted
uIlans, There are at least Eve dis
tinct purposes for which trained dogs
can be used in war:
As auxiliary sentinels to the outposts and
scntries End TO the advanced. rear and flank
:,tis.r!s In general
As scouts, on the march. on reconnaissance
and ,:atro duties
) AN dispatch bearers, on the march, In camp
~ action. etc
As auxiliary ammunition carriers gu tile
march aud In action.
AsSearchers for the wounded and killed after
engagement
Coming TO the best kind Of dogs for
training. the lecturer had a good word
of course to say for the shepherd dog,
the retrieverand the spaniel, and for the
bloodhound as the dog par excellence
for tracking, for following up the enc.
my into the mountains, through jun
gle and forest, and for running down
tlukoits and other marauders.
And since the bloodhound scent is
SO acute he would require neither to
hear nor see to give warming of the
approach Of the foe at night or in
thick covert. In discussion among
some experts and distinguished and
doggy" general officers following
the lecture, it was pointed out
that the bloodhound, in sentry
work or on night marches, could
give warning by his nose alone OF
the approach OF strange bodies al
distance of about 300 yards,
under favorable conditions of wind,
and that the bloodhound's steadfast.
ness by night and day in following up
human scent is such that although
crossed by deer and other game be
does not leave the leading scent.
BY way of illustrating the value, OF
the war dog in carrying ammunition
during action to the front, a trained
retriever was shown girdled with his
leather saddle bags capable of carry
ing eighty rounds of the new rifle car
fridge. Altogether the dog appeared
to find considerable favor among the
audience gathered at Whitehall place
aud the general opinion seemed to pre-
vail that if he is ever lucky enough te
find official recognition Of the war Of
Gee he is destined to play a useful par
in tho game of our little wars.-Pal
