A Whale Breaks a Cable.
From the Electrical Review,

From the Electrical Review,
On September 9th a fault broke
out in the Santos-Santa Catharina
section of the Western and Brazilian
Telegraph Company's system of ca
bles, but through which signals were
exchanged up to the moment OF cut
ting by therepairing steamer Viking.
The latter, while engaged on the re-
pair on October II, picking up to-
ward the fault 81 fathons, and
about 20 miles north from Santa
Catharina, brought to the service a
monster dead whale, measuring about
50 feet long, intact, with the excep-
t1on OF the upper part the belly),
from which all the skin had been
worn or eaten away, leaving only a
small portion on the neck and tail;
the cable parted at the fault with the
strain put upon it in lifting, and the
carcass Of the whale being relieved of
the downward pressure, rose like a
torpedo and inflated like a balloon, a
portion on arriving at the surface of
the water bursting and creating q
most offensive odor, so that every
one was thankful when the cable was
cut, and the obnoxious object drifted
to leeward; the tail of the whale had
two complete turns round the shank
and three Or four across the flat or
fan part. 1t would be interesting to
know how long this creature had
been imprisoned; from the advanced
stage of decomposition it must have
been there some considerable time;
its body was covered with barnacles,
and some even on the white part,
where the skin had disappeared. It
is worthy CT note that this cable was
laid in 1874, and with the exception
OF one repair by the contractors in
1875, has never since been touched,
and is as perfect as the day it was
laid. The above by Mr.. Peters, of
the Viking, is the third instance in
which whales have broken telegraph
cables. The first occurred in the Per.
sian Gulf some fifteen years ago, and
the second on the west coast of
America, off the Peruvian coast, some
seven years since. In both cases the
whale was dead when brought to the
surface by the repairing vessel, and
was entangled in the cable. The
supposed cause is that the cables
were hung in festoons through being
laid too tightly over uneaven ground,
and that the whales used them as
rubbing posts to get rid of some of
the barnacles with which there bodies
are often covered. A swish OF the
tail can easily account for the cable
being twisted around the body, and
the weight and the struggles of the
animals can easily account for the
break. We are iuclined to think the
weight ofthe dead decomposing body
is more likely to break the suspended
blight than theswimm ing strength of
the whale, which compared to the
longitudinal strength of cable must
be a small matter. The regularity
of the case off the Brazilian coast
lies in the cable not being broken.

Victoria's Indian Profits.

The queen pays more than SIC. OOO,-
900 a year out of the profits of her
Indian farm for the education of
her tenants. There are at Bombay,
Madras and Calcutta great universities
on the model of the University of Lon
don, and the whole of India is dotted
with colleges and schools. The uni
versities have more thar 1000 native
students, and the professorships in
clude law, medicine, engineering and
classics. In addition to these there.
are ninety-six colleges in British India
containing nearly 5000 students, and
as TO academies and public schools their
name is legion. There are now schools
for the teaching of English in every
district, but will yet be generations
before education can be spread
through the people, and only will then
India be happy.

INSENSIBiLITY TO PAIN. Z

Manifested in the Case of MANY
Lower Animals and Insects.
In men and animals the skin is GER
tainly the most sensitive tissue of the
body; we can hardly imagine that the
scales which cover the bodies of fishes
are equally sensitive. When we pas S
to the invertebrate kingdom, repre-
sented by shellfsh, snails, worms, in
sects, ETC., we find an absence of brain,
the nervous system being represented
by two nervous cords running the
whole length of the ventral surface of
the body, and having a pair of small
masses of nervous tissue, known as
ganglia, developed at intervals. The
extraordinary mutilations these crea-
lures will successfully endure prove
that their nervous system is but little
Influenced by shock, and renders it
almost certain that it is equally in
sensitive to pain. When we remember
that the worm when cut in half does
not necessarily die, but has the power
OF reproducing the lower part of its
body, and that in some orders the
lower half develops new animal
again, when we remember that other
members of the same sub-kingdom,
such as Holsters and crabs, will fire.
quently when frightened throw off
limb or two, we must conclude that
their sense of pain is very small, and
yet they are repeatedly spoken and
written of as though they were as
sensitive as man. 49,.
The nervous system of insects is
very similar to that of worms and
snalls, being represented by a ventral
chain of ganglia, and in their case the
evidence of insensitiveness would ap-
pear to be overwhelming. .....
Wasps, with their bodies crushed
out of all shape, will readily attack
sugar and honey when supplied them
as though nothing were the matter;
cockchafers, in a similar way, will go
on feeding when their abdomens have
been partially eviscerated by the peck
of bird, while beetle with a pin
though its body has been known to
perambulate the collectors case, in
which it had been placed, and devour
all the other specimens in the neigh
borhood. Again, as we watch a moth
lowering around an open light, and
see its wings and body from time to
time singed by the heat, it must strike
us that were it more sensitive to pain
its life would be preserved.

It Pleased the King.

There is often something very absurd
ill watching another persons terror,
but when we ourselves are in any
danger, the matter takes on different
aspect. Why any looker-on should
laugh, is more than we can imagine.
A missionary to Africa one day took
some gifts to the tent of chief, to be-
gin an amicable acquaintance, and he
thus tells in 'rTwo Kings of Uganda"
the story of a deserved lesson inflicted
on himself. 49,.
Il took the three little guns, which
1 had provided as presents to the chief,
and was presently invited into the
straw-built house, where he received
his chiefs and visitors. There I duly
presented my offering.

sorting the cartridge to point the gun
at my host. He nervously put it aside
with his hand, and I could not help
smiling at his apprehension. This he
evidently noticed, and so he gravely
took the car bine from me, deliberately
loaded it, and pointed it full at my
breast.
cit was my turn now to be dismayed,
and quickly put aside the muzzle, as
he had done, saying at the same time,

A Queer Coincidence.

In Berks county, Pa, at the little
village of Shillington, lives Samuel
Shilling, a living fulflment of a re-
markable coincidence. He first saw
7'the light of day on Feb. %, 1919.
Beginning with the date OF his birth,
1T seems that the father of his coun-
TRY has kept watchful eye ON Sam
@ue! Shilling every day for the pastsev-
senty years. ~. -,~.
Shilling was married on Feb. % to
a woman, who, like himself, was born
On that date. Their first child-a
boy-was born on Washington's
birthday, exactly one year to a day
after their marriage, and two years
afterwards, on the same date, twins
"a boy and girl-were added to the
Washington blessed household.
Five years rolled around, when, on
the fifth anniversary OF their wedding,
another infant, a girl, was added to
their blessings. The fifth and sixth
child, another pair of twins, came
around on schedule time two years
later, exactly, and upon the seventh
anniversary of the welded life begun
on the natal day Of our first presi-
dent X.
Mr.. Shilling is very proud of the
lucky coincidence that has connected
his name and that Of his family so
inseperably with that of the immor-
tai George Washington.
Many remarkable stories, all true,
as far as the writer has been able to
ascertain, have been related, but it is
doubtful if there is another case IN
record where a father, his wife and
six children all claim one birthday,
and that, too, one of the most his
torical in the whole calendar

A California RABBIT Drive

The rabbit scourge, which has re-
duced such large tracts ofland in Aus
tralia to barrenness, is now threat
ening parts of California with similar
effects. In Fresno county these YER
min have become so numerous and
destructive to the farmers that the
wholesale extermina ton of them is
imperative. 1t is estimated that five
rabbits consume as much as one
sheep. They are particularly fond OF
the grape vines, fruit trees, corn and
other grain. A drive has been made
by stretching fine wire netting about
three feet high and seven miles in
length, V-shaped, terminating at the
smaller end in circular corral. One
of the drives resulted in the death OF
10000 rabbits.-New York Tele-
