A NOVEL INVENTION.

Hereafter You May Carry Your Own Typo
writer In Your Pocket.
A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public. Typewriting
instruments now in the market are of con-
siderable size and welght-at least a person
could scarcely think of carrying one about
with him regularly. The one under notice
is not only inexpensive, but is SO small
that it may be carried in the waistcoat
pocket. The retail price will be under 10
shillings; it measures 81 inches by 8 inches,
and weighs about 4 ounces. Though so
small it is not mere toy. The in
ventor claims for it that it will turn
out better work aud be found more useful
than larger and more expensive machines.
With reference to its construction, all that
can be seen when specifically examined is
disk about the size of the face OF a gen.
tleman's watch, in which the type is fixed,
and ono or two small rollers. 1t will print
line from an inch to yard long, and pa
per of any kind or thickness can be used.
Any one can use it. though, as in the case
of other instruments. practice is required
to enable the operator to write quickly.
Another advantage is that by means of du-
plicate types the writer can be used for diff
ferent languages. Patents have been OBJ
tanned for most of the countries in Europe,
as we'll as for America, Canada and Aus.

A MODERN JONAH.

Experience of a Sailor Who Was Caught in
Whales Jaw,
J. w. Kiesler, late commanders clerk,
United States navy, now a resident Of
Honesdale, Pa, told the following story to
Philadelphia Press reporter of very re-
markable experience of an American sailor
with whale. He says: George Leonard,
during the civil war, and stationed on board
the gunboat Katnhdin, west gulf blockad-
ing squadron, in 1863, told a story of hero
ism and exhibited marks on his body that
corroborated his words. The year 1850
found Leonard as one of the crew on the
ship Enterprise, a whaler in the north
Pacific.
One day he was stationed IN the bow of
whaleboat, long distance from the ship,
with brave crew who had sighted whale
and made for the monster with all possible
dispatch. When within proper distance
Leonard threw the harpoon, striking the
fish hard and deep. In some manner the
line, as it was running out, caught the
body of one of the men in such way as to
throw him overheard. The man suddenly
sank, whereupon Leonard transferred his
llAc " DOulLdI6 anu SDr1Qk INTO Inc
ocean in aid of the drowning sailor. The
whale, now maddened by his fast-fowing
blood, made rush for the boat.
Remarkable and horrible to relate, Leon.
ards friend had managed to regain the
boat, while he himself was caught by the
whale between it's jaws, his position being
inside the monsters mouth, with nothing
protruding but one of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within the
jaws of death itself. The whale instantly
plunged into the deep and, in the words of
Leonard himself, %the fish seemed to be 60
ing down, down into eternity ITSELF"
The imprisoned man, after oil this, had
not lost his presence of mind. He mus
tered his entire bodily strengthened he
was powerful man-actually Lracing him
self III such position as to compel the
fish to spread its jaws. At the same time,
with his arm that was free, he grabbed the
sheath knife out of its socket, cutting
right and left. No sooner was there suf-
fcient opening made than Leonard forced
his body outside. Up to the surface he
swan, when. most strange to say, he found
himself within an arms length of his boat.
He was saved. The marks of the whales
violence and the dents of its teeth were
very plainly visible on Leonard's arms, and
he was always pointed ont by his brothe,
naval officers as tine second JONAH"
