One of the most remarkable sales of

Whalea al che North paclflo.

The whale is destined to disa ppear
from the North Pacific much more
speedily than he was driven from the
eastern approaches to the Arctic. The
whale feet sailing out of the port of
San Francisco last year caught In
the Arctic regions no less than three
hundred and fifty three whales. The
product of last seasons catch would
have been represented by about two
million dollars had prices remained as
they were about three years ago.
When one small steamer takes sixty
two whales in a single season, and a
still smaller one kills sixty-four, there
is striking illustration of what steam
is dong for the determination Of the
whale in the Pacific There will be no
restriction. The whale fishery by sail
ing vessels has for some time been I'M
profitable. What the sailing craft
could not do in lifetime of years the
steam whaler will pretty effectually
accomplish in very few years.

Now, sow has nothing whatever to

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance of the
atmosphere and sagacity in overcoming
it. When doeks of them have to go long
distances they form triangle to cleave
the air more easily, and the most cour-
ageous bird takes position at the for
ward angle As this is very fatigu-
ing post another bird ere long takes the
place of the exhausted leader Thus
they place their available strength at
the service of the society.
