Sir William Turner, the eminent pro-
fessor of anatomy in the University of
Edinburgh, recently delivered a lecture
to the members of the Philosophical in
stitution OF that city on Whales; Their
Structure and Habits, in the course of
which he referred to a point of consider
able interest to engineers, which was the
horse power exerted ny the tail of a large
whale Regarding the length of full
grown whales, Professor Turner re-
marked that the porpoise was four or
five feet long, whereas the Greenland
right whale was from fifty to sixty feet
long. and he said that the great finer
whale, which frequently visited the
British seas. reached the length of eighty
feet or even more. An animal of the
latter sort was stranded at Longniddry,
some years ago.
After speaking at some length on the
structure of whales, the lecturer made
some remarks on the rate of speed at
which they travelled. 1t had been esti-
mated, he said, that the Greenland whale
could attain speed Of nine or ten miles
an hour, and that the finer whale at
tanned even a greater speed. In all

propel itself through the water at the
rate of twelve miles an hour, and the
sperm whale was capable of driving itself
along at the same rate of speed. He had
asked John Henderson, of Glasgow, the
well known builder of the Anchor lines,
to assist him in arriving at the horse
power which must be exercised by one
of these great whales so as to acquire a
speed of twelve miles an hour, and he
put the case of the Longniddry whale
before him. 1t was eighty feet long,
weighed seventy-four tons, and had a
tail eighteen to twenty feet across from
the extreme ends of its fanges. With
these data, Mr.. Henderson calculated
that whale of the dimensions men
toned, in order to attain speed twelve
miles an hour, would require to exercise
a propelling force of 145 horse power

WHY ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
MAKE SUCCESSES.
Evolutionary Powers are Useless II
There is no Grace In Carriage and
NEotiOu-Success of uIss NesvIlle
and sophie Levea.

The lively farce comedy of ''Mlss De-
Gina, as the English adapter has
christened miss Helyet,' the play
which made such sensation in Paris
not long ago, has made all London
laugh But it is doubtful ii it would
have succeeded in doing so without the
efforts of Miss Nesville.
This sprightly and charming actress
PLAYED the role in the French play, at
Brussels, and in other Continental
cities, before the piece was Invested of
its primitive naughtiness. She has,
therefore, brought to the amusing
English adaptation by Mr.. f. G.. Bur
nand abundant gayety and spice OF
that playful recklessness which London
audiences appreciate quite as much as
the Parisians do.
"Miss Helyet," in the French orig
inal, is one of those fantastic extrav-
agances which only a Partisan can
perpetrate. A playwright in search
of d sensation says: go to! | will
make not only Rome but every other
place, howl with my playp And then
he sits down and writes down a series
of situations so outrageously lmprob-
able, 50 beyond all the bounds Of
modesty and decorum, that a scream
of horror comes from the first audience
that sees it. But the scream is at once
followed by an immediate burst of
laughter. And the dramatist makes
his point--his play is success.
The situation on which the original
play of Miss Helyet'' is based is so
grotesquely original that it could not
be translated into English. And so in
miss Decima" we have greatly
modified version of the adventures of
the prim little daughter of a New Or
leans clergyman in Europe. This de-
mure daughter is seeking for the young
man who must wed her, and in the
/ course of her search she passes through
some trying and very mirth-provolSing
| situations. Mile. Nesvllle, in each and
all of these has shown herself genuine
coincidence, and has acquired London S
full favor.
A course of gymnastics, dancing,
and vocal exercises to perfect the
physical resources as far as possible,
is almost absolutely necessary for an

Cleanliness is a great enemy of bacterial

able conditions for the development, or
rather the breeding, of germs; for, re-
member that the specific germs are never
spontaneously generated. Bad hygienic
surroundings may induce disease, but not
the specific contagious diseases to which
we have referred. Finally-the most
important point-exclude the germs: for
as a field, be it never so well plowed and
fortified, will not yield crop without
seed so, however favorable the conditions
for breeding fevers and diphtheria may
be, they will not occur without the intro

personal contagion, which it is almost inn
possible to avoid.
Many germs possess Great vitality, and
when once they have gained access to a

struction most persistently. They may
be destroyed in various ways. Bi-chlo-

acid. to 20 to so, and heat, es-
pecially in the form of hot steam, are all
useful. Fumes of sulphur are also good
in closed rooms; but nothing can take
the place of cleanliness and watchfulness
against the introduction of disease germs.

various emporiums, ordering linens and

were ordered to be charged to Mr..
Lester. Undisturbed by public
whispers and the fact that she had
been dropped from several calling lists,
everything appeared serene until the
announcement was made that Miss

in October. Suddenly, however, Miss
