A peculiar case in coal consump-

nomenon was due to the presence
of water in the smoke shaft. The
measures which were taken to eX-
clude the water have resulted in

Kate Fields Washington makes
a strong appeal to men to return
to knee breeches and drop "the
hideous trousers of the period"
Miss Field says knee breaches
would revolutionize manners, and
that "when men can no longer ig-
more their calves they would pay
some attention to a manly gait and
department" Ii there is any basis
for this argument it should apply
to women as we'll as to men, and
before giving up the privilege of ig-
noring their calves man should try
and arrange with the ladies for re-
ciprocity.-[S. J. Mercury.

AbOut Jonah and the Whale.

Doctor" said Il Iribune reporter
yesterday to city minister. is there
not natural explanation of the
whales swallowing of Jonah?n
Yes. In the nrSt place there is
nothing in tie Hebrew to show that it
was what we call whale. The word
translated into both the Septuagint
and the New Testament by the Greek
'Katos' means simply Il sea monster;
aud this word was the one used by our
Lord in his reference to this account Of
Jonah. (MattheW xii. S9-4D. So
far. therefore. as the Hebrew or Greek
words are concerned, the fish may
have been a whale, Il shark, Il sea SER
pent or any other large monster Of the
deep. Hence, there is nothing incred-
IDLE in the statement that Jonah, upon
being thrown into the sea, was quickly
overtakcn by sea monster and sWal-
lowed without suffering any mutila-
ton. providing the monster was large
enough. 1t is we'll known that the
waters through which vessel in sail
ing from Joppa to any Spanish port
times, by Il specie of shark called sea-
dog. having Il throat large enough to
swallow Il man whole. The French
naturalist, Lacepede. in lis Historic
des POisSons. states that sea-dOws have
Il lower jaw of nearly six feet in semi
circular extent; which enables Us to
understand how they can swallow en-
tire animals is large or larger than
ourselves. Biumenhach, the German
zoologist. in his Manual OF Natural
History, is authority for the additional
facts That Sca~dogs have been taken
weighing five tons, and that horse
has been found whole in the stomach
Of sea-dog. And PIinv, 30 a. D.,
gives al account of the skeleton of It
sea monster forty feet long. whose ribs
were higher than those Of an Indian
elephant. This skeleton, Piiny says.
