WHALING OFF NORWAY.
Bombs Tint Are Attached TO the Harpoons
and How They Work.

Bombs Tint Are Attached TO the Harpoons
and How They Work.
Newcastle, England, Chronicle.l
Whales off Norway are harpooned with
an instrument of peculiar construction. 1t
consists of O shank, into which two barbs
fold; these spring out and sit fast in the ami
mails flesh when a strain comes on the line
attached to the harpoon. The harpoon is
fred from a cannon mounted on a swivel
carried in the bow of the steamer, The
head of the harpoon carries an explosive
shell, which is fired by the breaking of a
glass tube filled with sulphuric acid, and
the tube is broken the moment the animal
strains the line attached to the harpoon, in
its dash to escape after being struck.
The line attached consists of a length of
chain next the harpoon, and then stout
cable, and the two are connected by an ac-
cumulator spring, which takes and breaks
the first strain OF the animals dash. Usual
ly the explosion Of the she'll is Immediately
fatal, but it does happen occasionally that
the explosion of the she'll fails to strike a
vital part, and in that case the whale is apt
to show fight.
The steamers employed are vessels built
of iron, about so to 100 tons register, with
engines of % to 40 horse power nominal.
Such vessel with its sails backed and en-.
gines working full speed astern, and with a
long length OF cable dragging through the
water, presents a very powerful obstruction,
but yet monster whales often prove power
full enough to move the steamer with con-
siderable speed.

of New York society at this present moment
The immense wealth, uncommon beauty,
and strange romantic lie of the fair Guate-
malanese only add to the abounding charm
she possesses by right of her delightful per-
sonality. Very few who know that Madame
Barrios is the mother OF seven handsome
children can realize that she is only 29 years
of age, has the freshness and slenderness of
a girl, and adores dancing above all other
forms of recreation. This is so, neverthe-
less, and when she appears In the thin black
gowns of her choice, wearing $500, 600 worth
of diamonds, her southern skin richly
tinted with health and youth, the Presi-

but remains absolutely Indifferent to the
most brilliant men in New York. She
acknowledges her fondness for society, but
avows her intention of remaining faithful
to the memory of her soldier husband.
The story, of how the General won her
hand is well known, but only her closest
friends are aware of his devotion that sealed
her love as wife. 1t is both interesting
and pathetic to hear her tell the story of how
she arrayed herself in all her jewels, and,
surrounded by the leading women OF Guatem-
ala, sat in box at the theater waiting for
Barrios to be proclaimed dictator. She never
once doubted his success; but when the cur
tain fell prematurely, showing the martial
picture of the President rent in twain, she
knew the temper of the people too we'll to
question the result. She was hurried out of
a side entrance, her life in jeopardy, learned
of the assassination Of Barrios, and the next
morning fed from her native land.

and both living in New York City. They
are several years younger than she is, indie
pendently wealthy and both very brilliant
types of Central American brunettes.

SHIP SUNK BY A WHALE.
II Knocks n Hole in the Steamer After
Being Wounded-A Wild Ride.

II Knocks n Hole in tho Steamer After
Being Wounded-A Wild Ride.
Beyer's Weekly News.l -
A curious occurrence, resulting in the
loss of steamer. happened last Thursday
of the Varanger Fiord in the north of
Norway. A whale that had been harpooned
by one of the steamers employed in those
waters turned upon its pursuers and rammed
the vessel, holing it SO badly that it sank
almost Immediately, the crew having just
time to escape from the sinking ship in the
boats. The whales of the species frequent
ing the seas off the north coast, from the
North Cape eastward to Varanger Fiord
are notoriously vicious when attacked, and
if not killed at once by the explosion OF the
shell attached to the harpoon are apt to be
dangerous.
We recollect somewhat similar incident
that happened 18 years ago. A whale was
struck but not killed Immediately, and it
rushed off, towing the vessel after it by the
harpoon line at a great speed. The engine
of the steamer, about 30 horse power, was
started at lull speed astern to counteract the
whales strength. in the expectation that the
animal would soon succumb but without
avail; then the sails were hoisted and
backed, to still further increase the drag,
but still the vessel continued to be towed at
a high speed, on direct north course, away
from the coast The vessel was towed in
this way Tor nearly 80 miles without any
sign of the animal giving in. At length
the position became so critical, the vessel
not being provided with an outfit for reach
ing the North Pole, that the tow rope was
cut and the whale allowed to escape.

LIVING ON A POWDER,

How Alexander jacques Explains His
Ability to Fast so Long.
Newcastle, Eng. Chronicle.l
Alexander Jacques, before be began his
fast at the Aquarium, in London, was en-
tertained at luncheon by the press repre-
sentatives. It was explained that Jacques
attributed his ability to go without food to
the use of powder composed of number
of herbs and plants which grow abundantly
in this country, and which is compounded
according to recipe which has been secret
in his family for some generations.
He has frequently tested its efficacy, not
only on himself but on others, notably dur
ing the siege OF Beliort. in the Franco-Ger-
man war; when he kept a number of his
fellow soldiers alive on it for a number of
days. Thirty days has hitherto been the
limit of his lasts.

CATCHING MENHADEN,
How 16J, 200 of the Fishes Were taken nc
One Haul of the Seine.


One Haul of the Seine.
When well to the windward OF the ma
room water, says q writer in the Boston
Herald, describing fishing expedition of
the coast, the captain cried Break away"
and off the little crafts started, the mates
men pulling In one direction and the CAP
tain in the other, the seine thus falling be-
tween the boats and gradually spreading in
the water. When little over 100 yards
apart, the captain waved his hands, and
then both Of the boats turned at right angles
and were rowed to the other end of the ma
room water, between 800 and 400 feet distant.
That point reached, the boats were turned
again, and, with the oars spIashing in the
water to scare the fish toward the impenetra-
BILE wall at the other end of the maroon
stretch, rowed toward each other.
When they met the wall was complete,
Then the ''tom, heavy lead weight, was
thrown out and the net was sunk 100 feet to
its full depth. Even then the fish some
times dove beneath the deep barrier, and
more or less escaped in that way. When
the "tom" had been dropped the men began
to pull on lines run through the lower por-
tion of the net, and soon an Immense bag
was formed from which there was no possi-
BILE chance of escape for the menhaden ex-
cept by breaking the twine, which they
were powerless to do, although at times a
solid body of fish nearly so feet in width
would rush at once against it. Then as
much of the net as possible was hauled into
the boats, and Captain Cornell signaled the
steamer.
Think of it, 165, 900 6sh-55O barrels 10
what there proved TO be, and there are 300 in
barrel-cooped up by that terrible seine,
and all struggling to escape, first in one
direction and then in another. Each men
haden is about ten inches in length, and it
was mystery how 165, 900 OF them occupied
q space not over 25 feet square. They
squirmed, Topped and jumped, but all their
barrel lots at a time, they were being
dumped, via big calling net, into the fish
tank in the steamer

jewelers. Weekly.1
Two works of the Salon Of the Palais da
PIndustrie are worthy of attention. The
"Birth of the PEARL" by NJ. Maignau, is one
of the most attractive compositions ex-
hibited this year. 1t represents an aesthetic
diver, who. having plunged in the bottom
Of the ocean, undaunted by the great sea
monsters OF many aspects and hues, opens
the double shell wherein is concealed in
blissful slumber beautiful woman. Tho
bold diver presses his lips against hers and
the pearl is born.
One who has assisted at the pearl fisheries
in the island of Ceylon must confess that
pearls are not born in this way. But, bar
ring this discrepancy, he will freely admit
that the aesthetic composition OF NJ. Maigusu
is beautiful in the extreme.

THE CHOLERA BELT.


A Comfort 10 the Naval Officers That MIghr
be of Use Inland.
American naval officers who have adopted
the cholera belt in the tropics find it so bene-
fetal that they often retain it in all lati-
tudes. 1t is simply broad band of flannel
worn night and day the year round tight
about the waist, so as to protect the stomach
from sudden changes of temperature.
Those who wear the contrivancel insist that
that it is an admirable promoter OF diges-
tion, and thousands regard it as we'll nigh
an absolute preventive of stomachic dis
orders. Any person of sensitive abdominal
nerves must recall the shock to the stomach
that follows emergence from the dining room
even into air OF moderately low tempera-
ture. The cholera belt protects one from
this sensation.

The Springfield Republican tells of new

incandescent lighting. Two of these lamps
are said to afford $500 candle-power, or
1,750 candle-power each, and require only
the current usually furnished in operating

lamps, which would give only an aggregate
OF 256 candle-power. The lamp is designed

this lamp will do what is claimed for it on

nearly IA times the amount of light that can
be o btained from the incandescent filament
why. then, it is "big thing" in electric
lighting.
