But now, times have changed, and
the plain and simple fare of the fore

flour, and high seasoned food, and
strong drinks, have taken its place,
and as result, dyspepsia, impure
blood, and diseases of the stomach,
liver and lungs are numerous. This
great change has led one of the most
skillful physicians of the age to study
out remedy for these modern dis

Here is something reasonable, and
should interest Us all. Dr. Shoop's in

nerve of the arm or leg be severed, or if
constant pressure be applied to these
nerves, the muscles are paralyzed.
He has found that life and strength
depends on 'lerue potUer.
This is why 'Blood Purifiers" give only
temporary relief. Certain nerves, he has
found, control the action of the stomach,

Those who are engaged in developin,
electricity commercially and the enthu
siastic Young scientists who are aiding thes,
capitalists have been greatly interested anC
impressed within the last ten DAYS with al
invention which seems likely to revolution
ize the storage battery. This invention hai
been the topic in electrical circles, anG
while the capitalists and the scientists are
not ready to accept it, it is their opinion
that an experimental and actual test will be
likely to reveal that it is all its inventors
are disposed to claim for it
Some years ago in that great training
school for electricians, the Edison works at
Schenectady, two young men, Waddell and
Ernst, who were employees of the company,
spent all of their spare time and frequently
& good many hours when perhaps from the
point OF view of health it would have been
wiser to have been in bed, in electrical re-
search AS they were both bright. studious
and c. inventive capacity, such discipline
as they gave themselves could hardly fail
TO have practical results.
Getting a Fortune From a Motor.
They invented a motor which, when capi-
talists saw it and had thoroughly tested it,
gained their favor, but these young men
having also something of worldly wisdom,
and knowing something of the experiences
Of other inventors, decided to control the
patent themselves, for they had saved their
money, and had a few thousand dollars
apiece. a young friend of theirs, a Har-
ward student named Macbeth, who had be-
come greatly fascinated with electric science
and who had some capital, Joined these young
men and they went TO Bridgeport, Conn,
and erected factories for the manufacture of
their electric motor. Such electricians as

The young scientists having that business
well under way continued investigations and
experiments which they had begun in
Schenectady and which they thought might
solve the problem of the storage battery. A
few days ago company of capitalists and
electricians went TO Bridgeport on invita-
JIOn, thoroughly to test a storage battery
which had been constructed on entirely new
principles. They returned to New York,
telling somewhat remarkable stories of their
experiences, and while by no means posi-

to see that she had a large whale alongside.

carry this current without any artificial
conductor from one point to another. Fol
instance, he will stand between two plates,
one on each side of room, which are con-
nected by a wire, not with one another,
but with the battery which supplies these
peculiar electric waves. No connection
exists between the plates When the cur
rent is turned on he, holding an incandes-
cent lamp, reveals that there is q passage
of the current between the plates through

though it was connected by wire with a
battery.
The Theatrical Effects Obtained.
Tesla has diversified these experiments
by having a wand which is illuminated as
he thrusts it within the reach of this cur
rent, and in other most beautiful and al
most spectacular ways he makes evident
that an electric current who Sc waves are Of
peculiar form and velocity may be con-
veyed through natural media Another re-
markable development is that this current
is made to pass through wood or stone or
brick, exactly as light passes through a
windowpane, and without the slightest eff
feet upon these distractions.
These discoveries have not yet been put
to commercial use, but the men of intellect
who are giving their time and capital to
electrical developments are of the opinion
that Tesla's discoveries are likely to be
within the next few years so commercially
developed that they will practically reyo-
lutionize some forms of electrical applica-
tion. Some of the electricians are inclined
to think that the first commercial utiliza-
tion of this discovery will be for vessels at
sea- Edison has in mind plan for electri-
cal communication, not fully developed yet,
but which would require the use
of water as the medium of con-
duct If Tesla's plan can be devel-
oped, and there is no doubt that he
himself is at work upon the problem, it may
be possible for two vessels fitted with the
proper mechanical appliances to communi-
cate by code of signals with each other
although they may not be in sight. If the
idea is carried out successfully, this would
prove of extraordinary value whenever there
was heavy fog at sea, for one of Tesla's ex-
periments has shown that this current will
pass as easily through fog or mist as it
would over wire. The experiments are
causing great scientific activity upon the
Continent Of Europe, and the opinion of
New York electricians is that we NAV hear
of the commercial application of Teslas
discoveries first from that side of the water.

CHAPTER ".
A NARROW ESCAPE.

On January 10 we were sent to masthead
earlier than usual, as the mate stoutly in
sisted that he could "smell" whales. 1t i,
true that there is a very perceptible odol
from whale, and with the wind favorable
his presence is often noticed at night wher
it is too dark for him to be seen. On the
present occasion there was reward offered
for the man who should first announce the
presence of a whale, provided we afterward
succeeded in securing him. So we ran ur
the rigging willingly, although as yet we
could hardly see mile in any direction.
Hardly had I reached the topsailyard,
when the man at the mizzen shouted:
'There she white watersl" And in an.
other instant the boat steerer at the main
had caught sight of something off the lee
beam, and, hailing the deck, he shouted ex-
citedly:
'Large school of sperm whales on lee
beam, sir, big ones, only about two miles
away"
By this time every man was on deck, and
the boats were rapidly lowered.
Whenever we had lowered for practice

sizing or staving his boat, and on the present
occasion the big Dutchman, Hans, who was
one of the mates boats crew, and whose
duty it was to see that the oars and bailers
were all IN the boat, made his appearance
with huge bucket, which he was placing
in the boat, when the mate snarled out:
"You big doubled-headed Dutchman,
what are you putting that in the boat for?"
"Vell, Mr. Laurie, DON vas know how
to swim, and 1 dinks We bedder dake it
along to bail de boad vid ven we gets dipped
ofer!''
The look of perfect honesty with which
he said this satisfied even the mate that no
reflection on his skill as boatman was in
tended, but the second mate and 1 had hard
work to smother our amusement.
Once clear of the ship up went the sails,
as the whales were to the leeward of us,
and away We went with good breeze. We
soon ran down among them, and Mr.. Perry,
our fourth officer, who was hsrpooner in the
Captains boat, stood up with his knee in
the "clumsy cleat," and every nerve braced
for throwing the keen iron. We shot across
the corner of the whales fukes, and
looked over the side of the boat, where I
could see the huge black fan moving from
side to side, not more than two feet under
us. I knew if he lifted it we should be sent

soon allo ; ed us to come up with him, and
then the old man sent the sharp lance again
and again into his vitals until the water
from his spout holes began to be tinged with
red, and shout went up from the boat s
crew, as we saw the infalllble sign that the
whale was mortally wounded.
We backed off out of the way while the
death agony or 'tfurry" lasted. At last the
monster slowly rolled over, 't6n up" and
we knew he was dead.
In his agony he had wound our line more
than a score Of times around his body, and
while we were clearing it the other whales,
pursued by the two boats, came close by US
and we saw an exciting chase. The old man
was wild with eagerness, and danced and
yelled as if he could in that way assist in the
speed of the two boats, which were close to
the whales, the men pulling like giants,
while the officers in the stern, each eager to
be the first to ''get fast" under the captains
eye, used every known method to urge their
men on. We could hear them like rival
bidders at an auction.
':Pull boys, pull! You amt half pulling!
Put in another pound of backbone! Jump
her, sayl Do you want the mate to beat
us? A new shirt for every man in the boat
if we get fast before 'em! That's the way
to do it! We're gaining on 'em?'
While from the other boat stream of en-
treaty and profanity, coupled with offers of
everything a sailor values, testified to the
enthusiasm of her officer.
As luck would have it, poor Hans Caught
crab" with his oar and the second mates
boat shot ahead and 'Long Joe" Lumbert
drove two irons into a large bull whale.
Away they went to windward at terrific
speed, while the old man cheered and
laughed and the tobacco juice rolled down
his neck and stained his hairy bosom with
out his noticing it.
The mate was cursing everything "an inch
high and a minute old" when up came
large whale short distance away, and off
went the boat in pursuit. This time no acci-
dent occurred and they soon started off in tow

of the whale, cutting through the seas at
race-horse speed. We now placed "waif'
or flag in our whale and returned to the
ship, put the Captain on board, and taking
some coffee in a bucket, and some salt beef
also went back to stay by our whale while
the old man worked the ship to windward
after the other boats.
All day we lay alongside ihe dead whale,
while the old Triton beat to windward, and
finally we lost sight of her entirely. Then
night came on and strong breeze sprang up,
but We fastened our boat close to the leeward
of our prize, cut cash in his blubber, and
the 'sIick" formed by the oil prevented the
boat from shipping any water. The sharks
were now attracted, and the water was fairly
alive with them. We killed dozens of huge
