Princeton University is making
friends of the mammon of I'M

the prevailing craze for athletics
into a means of increasing the
scholastic standing of students.
Hereafter no student who is not
up to standard in his classes will
be permitted to take part in any
athletic contests, and the bodily
exercise that is so dear to the heart
of the undergraduate must be be
bought with the fine gold of cor
rect work in the recitation room.
There is practical wisdom in this
decree of the faculty and COVER
nors of Princeton that is to be
commended.

A CYclistsI Road.

The Americans, taken on the cy-
cling rage, are determined to get
as much out of it as possible. 1t
is proposed now to build an ele-
waited wooden road between Chi
cago and Milwaukee about 100
miles, for the exclusive use of cy-
clists. The width of the road will
be loft, and the charge 10 cents
per journey-cheap enough, as the
"road" will probably be one Of the
best in America, and there will be
nothing but cycles on it. The
promoters estimate a custom Of
about 10000 "wheelers" per week.

The Dangerous Sperm Whale.

The sperm whale ia an extreme
ly awkward fish to approach, for
at times she uses her mouth (the
lower jaw of which Is armed with
q formidable row of teeth), fukes
aud tail with terrible effect.
There Is an instance of a fish de-
stroying three boats and injuring
the ship itself; and the ship Essex
was actually sunk by sperm de-
liberately charging her twice.
Sir w. 81. Gore-Booth says 1.-the
best way to approach the fish
is head oE, under sail, IL possible,
as, owing to the position Of her
eyes, she cannot see we'll ahead.
The other alternative recommend
ed is to approach the whale from
behind on the starboard side, so
as to give a right-handed dart.
The boat, ranging alongside, pro-
ceeds parallel to the fish one or
two fathoms, or possibly three or
four, from her until far enough
forward, when the harpoon is
thrown into the back"
But none Of these precautions
was required by a lucky settler
on the west coast of New Zealand,
who, while pigeon shooting, hap
pened on a school of 81 lying
dead on the beach, and who had
merely to put his mark on each to
make the whole his property.
The whales, which varied in size
from baby of seven feet to a
monster of 60, lay mainly in pairs
for space of about four miles.
On the whole they were in excel
lent condition, and there is no eI-
PLANTATION as to what drove them
ashore, though it is noted that the
sea had been exceptionally rough
for some time previously.
On a different part OF the sea-
board a whale of another species,
Sc feet in length, had been found
under similar circumstances a
little before this great find. The
discovery not unnaturally attract
ed a large amount of attention,
and every body in the district went
to view the stranded leviathans.
Luck follows luck, and so another
settler, bent on an errand of
curiosity, came upon 800 ounces
OF ambergris some two miles away.

Comets and the suu.spot Period

SOh0tb duu VIC Soh-SPSs
Since the discovery of the period
lefty of the sun.spots, investiga-
tions have shown that many ter
restrisl phenomena are, and others
may be, closely allied to it. These
are generally looked upon as re-
suits due to the variation in the
sun. II it were found that comets
had an eleven-yearly period, we
should have the question before us
as to whether this period be the
result Of this period, or whether
the period depended to a certain
extent on this periodical cometary
influx. II the sun, as has been
supposed, were fed, so to speak,
with cometary matter, then the
spot period would naturally be de.
pendent on some external source OF
supply such as this. But since
the solar atmosphere has a circul.
alton which seems now to have
been fairly shown 10 be the cause
of this periodicity, such an out
ward supply OF energy is not
thought now to be of such import
ance as would have been the case
some years ago. This does not
take away the interest, however,
from Herr j. Unterweger's investi-
CATION concerning the connection
of spots and appearances Of comets,
but would rather instigate it.
The author has, by strict exami-
nation of the elements of the large
er periodical comets, obtained a
function which can be represented
Mechanically by formula, and
from which an eleven-yearly
period since 1740 can be recognize
ed. From the year 1888, also, the
maxima and minima points fall
together, without exception, with
those Of the sun-spot Curves

Religious Community in Montrea
Who Renounce the World.

s.The strangest religious COM
munity in the world is one found
ed in Montreal by a certain DIR,
Jacques, a graduate of the Victor
ia School of Medicine, who, during
the year in which smallpox ragged
in Montreal, visited no fewer than
1000 patients and did much good
work in the city.
Among these patients was a
family from st. Florence named
Aubin, and the father and mother
with five daughters, now live
under the doctors roof. The pa
rents, who do not belong to the
community proper, live like ordt-
nary mortals, but the five children
lead a life almost as severe as
the terribly austere regime of the
Carmelite nun. They are robed in
red material, with a white head
dress falling down over their
shoulders. These girls have no
education whatever, yet their
medical protector says they are
very learned in things pertaining
to the celestial sphere.
By the side OF a nicely decorated
altar stands post about six feet
in height, and upon the latter
hangs an OK chain 10 feet long.
When Montreal is given over to
carnivals, to balls and parties, and
when it is easy for frail men and
womenkind to be tempted, it is at
these seasons that the five sisters
devote themselves most intently
to penitence and prayer. This
heavy chain Is hung around each
sisters neck for an hour at time
while they kneel in prayer for their
sisters of the world whom destiny
has thrown in temptations way.
Each bed is large deep coffin,
painted black, and covered over
with gray cotton. The pill0w is
made of soft wood and not single
article Of clothing is viSible. The
five sisters sleep upstairs, the
second floor being divided into a
half dozen small cheerful rooms
or cells. The furniture in each of
these sleeping apartments consists
of black collins, table and a tin
wash basin, the same absence OF
clothing being quite as marked as
on the floor below.
DR.. Jacques himself occupies
room on the ground floor, and
sleeps in a large bare coffin
throughout the summer and win
ter.
The only recognition of this
famous community by the Arch
bishop Of Montreal Is the fact that
one Of the city's clergymen is the
spiritual director of the five sisters
in question, of whom three go to
communion every morning and
two or three times a week.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

savages Bunco a Whisky Pirate

savages Bunco a Whisky Pirate.
Indians of the west coast of Van
couver Island adopted novel and
decidedly effective method of deal
ing with white whisky pirates
who frequent their villages, as
James Johnson, of Victoria, former
ly master OF the sealing schoo ner
Kilmany, knows to his cost. He had
come to the. conclusion that there
was big money for the man who
made systematic tour of the
west coast with bottled samples of
gin and whisky.
Accordingly he purchased a
small trading sloop, loaded her
with cargo of stimulants and
sailed for Barclay Sound some
three weeks ago. There, for few
days he did rushing business, re :
failing his low grade intoxicants
at So to $40 per bottle. The In
dians knew they were being rob-
bed and demonstrated, but no re-
duction in the price was made.
Then they held a council and a
great plan was evolved. The aid
Of the Indian police was secured,
and while the master of the sloop
slumbered he was surrounded, and
made prisoner, handcuffed, and
led in triumph to the village. In
vain he pleaded for release. He
was told he would be held until
the coming Of the police patrol and
then delivered to the officers for
supplying liquor to the Indians
This meant a fine of at least 5000
and the confiscation of his craft,
so he determined to suggest terms,
and his offer of the sloop and it's
cargo for his freedom was quickly
accepted. The cargo was consum-
ed in single night by the dusky
diplomats in celebrating the sue
cess of their Napoleonic stroke OF
generalship.-Ex.
