SHIPS AND WHALES.

 Vessels and Cetaceaps Coilids Sometimes with Disastrous Effects.
 The steamship Petersburg, of the Russian volunteer fleet, had unique
 experlcnce near Minicoy, in the South : Indian ocean, says Chambers Journal. 1 A sharp shock was felt by all on board and she stopped as though gr:rped in wise. The sea was found to be colored
 with the lifc-blood of two huge whales, which lay floating in their last agony.
 One was cut through by the steamers
 sharp stem and the other killed by re- peatcd blows of the screw propeller.
 The German steamship Waesland.
 bound from Antwerp to New York, ran into and killed sleeping whale. A small steamer, the Kelloe, col lided with whale near Sea
 ham harbor- and wounded it badly. The celebrated yacht Genesta narrow ly avoided collision with dead ceta-
 ccan during the jubilee race around our island. In 1889 Shields steam ship, the Jaxes Turpie, nearly cut 8 whalciu two one starlight night. The schooner 0. H. Marrctt was almost wrecked by passing whales in the north Atlantic. Many of the school struck her repeatedly with such vio- ierce that her whole hull shook and articles in the officers rooms were
 thrown to the floor.
 Ia 1890 small sailing vessel, the
 Ocean Spray, bound from Galveston to
 England, struck q sleeping whale and
 Al .9
 the 11th of July, whale fifty feet long made it's appearance close alongside
 the steamship Port Adelaide, Capt. c.
 NJ. Hcpworth, R. N. R., in 42 degrees
 south, 75 degrees east. He followed
 the vessel for four days, never more
 than seventy yards away, and general , ly close astcrn. much to the ediEcation
 of numerous passengers. He threw up
 the sponge in fl degrees south, 97 de-
 grees east, after travelling nine hun
 dred and eighty statute miles, cer-
 tainly without resting and apparently
 fasting.
 In November the ship Earnock, Capt. Parson, was under sail in % degrees
 south, 21 degrees west, when a large l whale 1ashed the sea into foam with his tail so near the ship that the chief
 officer, who happened to be below for ward, came quickly on deck to see 1 what had happened. He actually felt
 the impact of the water against her bows.
 i In June, 1891, while her majesty's i ship Immortalite was steaming from : Arosa bay to Gibraltar at the rate of i twelve knots an hour, she stopped i short as though submerged danger had been located. It was presently
 found that she had cut deeply into a
 whale, and it became necessary to go
 astern in order to get rid of the incum- i brance. Four months later the Anchor line steamship Ethiopia collided with
 whale when about eight hundred
 miles from New York.

A Relic of Oih London.

One of the most interesting relics of old London is St. Johns gate, Clerken- well. which. because it does no: hap pen to lie in one of the main arteries of the big city, is not so we'll known,
 even to Londoners, as it should be. It is the only remaining portion of the important Priory of St. John, which dates from the fourteenth century The old gateway has literary interest at- tached to it, for in the room above the archway Dr. Johnson worked for Cave, the printer, for small weekly stipend; i; and the Gentlcuan's Magazine, which to this day bears picture of the arch. way on its cover, was first printed here. The archway had latterly be- come much defaced and weather-worn, but it has recently been restored as . memorial to tho duke of Clarence, who was first sub-prior of the Order of St. John. The order as now revived em- braces the St. John Ambulance associ- ation and is busy lu other good works.

The Moons of Mars.

The most interesting of all moons are the two that attend Mars, each about sixty miles in diameter. That planet is just one-half the size of the earth; its surface is divided into conti- nents and seas, having as much land as water; it has an atmosphere, clouds frequently concealing its face. and its seasons are about the same as here, though the winters are colder. Be- cause one of the moons travels around it three times as fast as Mars itself turns, it appears to rise in the west and set in the east, while the other, really eircling in the same direction at 2 speed comparatively slow, rises ln the east and sets in the west. Thus both moons are seen in the heavens at the same time, going opposite ways.

Tho Scimitor Snake.

There is little reptile belonging in Madagascar known as the scimitar snale-that is, the curling sword. Running along the back from head to tail is blackish, horny substance, which bends with the convolutions o1 Che snakes body as readily as would 8 well-tempered steel spring, and throughout it's entire length it bears an edge ns hard as flint and sharp as . razor. They are not poisonous, but when one of them springs on 8 man, which he is very likely to do, he will soon have leg off unless cracked on the pate. Some snake specialists claim that the presence of this reptile on the island is the reason that there are nc large quadrupeds to be found there at present, the curling sword in bacl ages having taken of legs faster thar they could be created.

The Books of Confucius.

The Chinese scriptures or sacred books were compiled and partly com posed by Confucius himself. They are divided into five booLs-viz.: l. The Viking, which treats wholly of cos mogony. 2. Shu-King, the acts and wise maxims of Yaoa, Shun and other Chinese kings and philosophers, who are now held in great veneration. 5. Sinking, which contains S1l sacred poems. 4. Ee-King, or ''The Book of Rites," which is a repository of max inns and directions for everyday life of all sorts and conditions of people. 5. Chun-Tsien, which is . history of the time of Confucius. These books, taken collectively, are usually referred to in lists of Bibles of the World" as ''The Five Kings" The word "king" in this connection simply means book"

RUSSIAN EXPLORATIONS.
The Government IS VI ell Supplied with
 EeliRbiO 3iaps.

 A vast but fascinating problem con- fronts Russia on her Chinese frontier problem which cannot be disposed of in one or even two generations. No power, however, knows better how to wait than Russia. Time is on her side. and as the necessary preliminary to Ill wise action is knowledge, the Russian general staff has been making the full est use of the opportunities which treaties afforded to gain accurate in- formation concerning the Chinese ter ritories and everything appertaining thereto. l Not q corner of the whole empire, save what comes within the sphere of influence" of the French, but has been intcrsectcd by Russian government ex- plorers and armed expeditions during the past thirty years.
 These explorers, include botanists and gcoloGists. of course but the mili- tary expert and the skilled topographef arc tho animating soul of these expe- ditions.
 1 Occasional glimpses into their pro. ceedings are allowed to the world, but : every fact of military or political sig nifcance is carefully conserved in the archives of the Russian intelligence i department.
 The minute information concerning all the northern and western territo- : ries os China, which is now in the pos 1 session of the Russian staff, is not only 1 such as nc other power possesses, but ] is incomparably superior to anything i in the hands of the Chinese govern ! mcnt itself.
 Hence it is that whenever a question of boundaries arises Russia is prepared with els bcrnte maps of the regions, to which Cuba has not only nothing to oppose, but which she is not even able to criticisc.

Antiquity of the Peach.

The peach is an improved variety of the almond. The almond has . thin shell around the stone, which splits open and exposes the stone when ma ture. This outer skin has simply be- come fleshy in the peach, so that is all that gives it it's specific character. 1t seems now clear from investigation in the history of ancient Babylon that in their gardens, now nearly four thou sand years ago, the peach was cultivat- ed then as it is now. 1t must have been many years before this that the peach was improved from the almond, and this fact goes to show the great antiquity of the fruit.

New.Trse for Rubber.

Good results are obtained by using rubber in connection with an anchor rope in equalizing and relieving strain in dredging, and in measuring the depth and swiftness of currents. For merly a severe strain was caused by a sudden jerking in pitching vessel. This is now overcome by what is called 8 rubber accumulation, which consists of seventy rubber discs or buffers on 6 middle rod, so arranged that by com pression they act as spring. The buyers are cylindrical in shape. two and ene-quarter inches in thickness, and separated from one another by metal discs one-eighth of an inch thick. and two inches larger in diameter than the rubbers, which on expansion do not overlap the metal surfaces. In this device it is found that a compres- sion can be had of five feet, which is sufficient to distribute the strain along the entire length of the ship. The ap- plication is made by running the rope from reel located aft to the middle of the foremast, and then passing it through the rubber accumulation to the end of the anchoring boom, which is a spar thirty feet long. From this the rope with two hundred-pound weight attached is dropped vertically into the sea.

THE TONGUE AND SPEECH.

 For making the and the tongue has to be partially applied to portion of the palate next the teeth. Not only. however, must the contact be in- complete, but its place is indefinite may be half an inch farther back. To make sh and zh the contact has to be made not with the tip, but with the upper surface of the tongue, and must be an incomplete contact. Though for making the liquids the tip of the tongue and the sides of the tongue are used, yet the requisite is not any .ex. act adjustment of the tip, but an inn perfect contact with the palate, says Herbert Spencer, in the Contemporary Review. For the tn tip is used along with the edges of the tongue, but no perfect adjustment is required, either to the edges of the teeth or to the junction of the teeth with the palate. where the sound may equally we'll be made. Though for the and d com plete contact of tip and edges of the tongue with the palate is required, yet the place of contact is not definite, and the tip takes no more important share in the action than the sides.
 Anyone who observes the movements of his tongue in speaking will find that there occur no cases in which the ad- justments must have an exactness corresponding to the extreme power of discrimination which the tip possesses; for speech this endowment is useless. Even were it useful, it could not be shown that it has been developed by survival of the fittest, for though per feet articulation is useful, yet imper- feet articulation has rarely such an ef- feet as to impede man in the main tenance of his life. If he is good workman, a Germans interchanges of b's and p's do not disadvantage him. A Frenchman, who in place of the sound of tn, always makes the sound z, succeeds as 8 teacher of music or dancing, no less than if he achieved the English pronunciation. Nay, even such an imperfection of speech as that which arises from cleft palate does not prevent a man from getting on if he is capable. True, it may go against him as a candidate for parliament, or as an 'orator" of the unemployed (mostly not worth employingl. But in the struggle for life he is not hindered by the effect to the extent of being less able than others to maintain himself and his offspring.

Although one naturally supposes to and generally does find the genus pisces inhabiting the water solely, there are curious exceptions to the rule. An in stance may be cited in the species known as the climbing perch, which not only travels long distances over dry land which separates one stream from another, but is likely to climb a tree whenever the opportunity affords. The curious creature has peculiar ar engagement of the upper part of the head, which Is provided with water cells, the fish using this store of water to keep his gills moist on travelling sxpsdltion ox climbing tour.

 $ Bsronet Advertised for a Baroness, and
 Without Success.
 Those who believe that the matrimo- nial advertisement originated with the modern Sunday newspaper should con suit the Ipswich Journal of August 21, 1902, which contains this advertise ment:
 ''To the angelic fair of the true Eng fish breed, worthy notice. Sir John Dinely, of Windsor castle, recom- mends himself and his ample fortune to any angelic beauty of a good breed, fit to become and willing to be the mother of a noble heir, and keep up tho name of an ancient family en- nobled by decd of arms and ancestral renown. Ladies at certain period of life need not apply. Fortune favors the bold. Such ladies as this advcr- tisement may induce to apply or send their agents (but no. servants or matrons) may direct to me at the castle, Windsor. Happiness andpleas- ure are agreeable objects, and should be regarded as well as honor. The lady who shall thus become my wife will be a baroness and rank according ly as Lady Dincly of Windsor. Good will and favor to all ladies of Great Britain. Pull DO caps on his account, hut favor him with your smiles, and p@ans of pleasure await your steps,"
 Notwithstanding this tempting offer to the fair sex Sir John Dinely died a bachelor in 1908, an inmate of the poor knights quarters in Windsor castle.
