STRUCK IT RICH.
A l4O-Foot Vein of Coal Discovered
Almost Within the City Limits.
A BIG FIND FOR ABERDEEN.

On Saturday afternoon miner from
franklin, while prospecting up the WISH
kah' struck a vein of coal that promises
to prove a rich find. The vein was struck
at the foot OF large hill about two miles
from the city and quarter of mile
from the Wishkah river, and was found
TO be l4O feet in width and in two LAYERS,
the first OF which is about six feet below
the surface where struck, six feet thick
ana runs horizontally through the hill.
Under this is second layer separted
from the other by three feet of sand.
This second layer was bored into about
three feet, but on account of the drill be-
ing too short, it was impossible to ascer-
tain how much thicker it was. A move
Was then made to the opposite side OF the
hill and the boring resumed with abont
the same results, thus showing that in
all probability there is vein of coal of
indefinite thickness, 140 feet wide and,
at least, two miles in length. Under the
hill the topmost layer is more than 100
feet under the surface, which fact in
creases the probability OF the coal being
Of good quality.
Several large pieces of the coal were
brought to the city and was found to burn
readily, and gave off considerable gas.
When burned out small clinker re-
manned.
On Monday VESSEL and two of his
friends left for Olympia, where they will
file on the land, obtain the requisite out
fit, return here and commence work on
their find Friday.
1t the coal proves even as good in
quality as that-Aaear Centralia, and is
anything like as plentiful as is supposed,
it will be of inestimablc benefit to Aber-

Hnrse Power of Whales.

Sir William Turner, the present emf
nent professor of anatomy in the Uni
versity of Edinburgh, Scotland, has
given much attention to the study OF
whales, their structure, habits, etc. He
estimates that the great Greenland
whale average length fifty feet) attains
a maximum speed while swimming of
ten miles per hour; the ''Finner" whale
(naximum length eighty-iive feeD often
making twelve to fourteen miles an
hour Mr.. Turner, in one of his leo
lures. said that he and John Hender-
son. of Glasgow, the well known build
er of steamships, had spent much time
in trying 10 arrive at n satisfactory con
clusion as to the horse power exerted
10y large species of the whale In making
speed Of twelve miles per hour.
AS base for their conclusions they
took the size and dimensions of the
great "Finner," which was stranded on
the shore at Longuiddry some years
ago. II was so feet long. weighed "A
tons, and had tail which was 20 feet
across at the extreme end OF its flanges.
With these data Messrs. Turner and
Henderson calculated that whale OF
the dimensions mentioned In order TO
attain speed of twelve miles an hour
must exercise a propelling force of 145
horse power. st. Louis Republic.

ming at the head; objects may seem to
revolve; he totters and perhaps falls.
There may be nausea, faintness, head,
ache, visual hallucinations and buzzing
in the ears; but there is no deafness,
nor any danger of loss of conscious
ness. Gastric vertigo is cured by treat
ment directed to the cause.
Nervous vertigo may come from nerv-
GUS exhaustion resulting from various
causes-intellectual strain, or an i'm
moderate use of tobacco, alcohol or
tea.
The symptoms are much the same as
in gastric vertigo. They are felt strong
ly in an elevated position-by the
preacher in the pulpit or the speaker
on the platform. As in gastric vertigo,
the treatment must be directed to the
cause, But patients need not fear an
attack of paralysis or of apoplexy.-

Points Of Interest TO Anglers ON the Mar

Points of Interest to Anglers on the Man
ufaoture Of Their Weapons.
The making of fishhooks is not mere
" a trade in itself: anglers consider
that it is properly speaking an art. In
England the hest ones are made
Hooks Of the first quality are made
from the very best cast steel wire, which
is tnrned out in coils at Sheffield and
Birmingham.
The first process is TO cut the wire
into lengths suitable for the hooks to
be made. Ordinary sizes are chopped
of by the quantity with machine,
but the big ones for use in catching
sharks and other big sea fishes are cut
singly with a hammer and chisel.
After the lengths of wire have been cut
of another operator takes them and
turns up the barbs by cutting into the
yet soft metal with a knife upon an
anvil
Next the straight pieces are taken in
hand by a workman who files the
points to keenness Where the best
hooks are concerned each one is man.
pulated separately. being held in
pinchers while the necessary sharpness
is given by a few dexterous strokes
Common hooks are pointed with one
lle. but the finer sorts require the ap-
plication of two or three Of different
degrees of coarseness
The points once made. another work
man takes the bits of wire in hand,
bending them round in curved piece
Of steel, so that each one shall have the
characteristic Texture which makes the
type of hook desired The process of
forming the instrument is now com
pleted, save for the shank. which may
either be a loop at the end Of the wire
or a Battening at the extremity. The
fattening is done by one sharp blow
with hammer upon an anvil.
The final process is the tempering of
thehooks to harden them, and when
all these operations have been com
pleted they are secured in revolving
barrels driven by steam power and
filed with water and soft soap When
the friction has worn them bright they
are dried in another revolving barrel
containing sawdust.
In old times fishermen made their
own hooks, using very much the same
methods as are now practiced on a
large scale in the factories. IL is a very
curious fact that during the bronze
age. when metals had first come into
use, fish hooks had the same forms as
now, even to the shanks and curves.
The famous 'I.imerick" and "Shaugh-
messy" bends are absolute reproduc-
tions Of those preferred in that early
epoch. - Washington Star.

Imprisoned In a bottle.

Some time ago druggist of Putnam,
Conn, threw a lot of empty bottles into
the back yard of his store, and recently,
while he was strolling there, he heard
one bottle clinking against the rest in a
peculiar way The bottle rolled about
as if it was bewitched The druggist
picked up the locomotive bottle, and
was astonished to see "A rat gallivanting
inside it. He was big gray fellow.
while the bottle nozzle is scarcely big
enough to let man thrust his finger
into it. The rats body is more than
three times larger than the orifce, and
the mystery is how did the rat ever get
in the bottle.
The druggist has placed the impris-
oned rat on the counter in his store, and
scores of people inspect IT daily. 1t is
the conjecture of scientific Putnam
citizen, who is familiar with the habits
OF rats, that II crawled into the bottle
when young, and, since it is known that
rats help one another in tribulation, that
the animals mother has visited the bottle
daily and contrived TO thrust food into
1t. The rat appears to DO in excellent
health, and apparently is happy and con
tented. Philadelphia Ledger
