A strange incident recently occurred
In Australian waters The brigantine
Handa Isler arrived at Sydney Harbor
from New Zealand presenting the ap-

within ten days of Sydney. Two large
whales were sighted, each being about
GO feet in length. At first they appear
ed to be heading across the ships bows,
but they suddenly slowed round and
came broadside On to the ship at a
tremendous speed. The first whale
struck the ship amldships and, al
though the vessel is 260 tons register
and was laden with nearly a million
feet of timber, the concussion was so
great that the vessel shook from stem
to stern The second whale, FORUM
ately, did not ram the ship, but dived
Just before reaching the Handa Isler,
and passed under the keel. The brig
antine was badly damaged by the col
lision, and the whale must have been
terribly injured, as the sea around was
speedily dyed with it's blood, and the
animal did not rise after striking the
vessel. The well of the ship was at
once sounded, and it was discovered |
that the water was making at the rate |

WANTED A SECOND WIFE.
On tho Eve of Proposal His First
WIfn Intcrfnrnh.


Squire Bray of Caswell, little town
IN North Carolina, was hunting another
wife, says the st. Louis Republic His
frst marriage had been happy one,
dissolved by the death of his beloved
nelpmeet.
The Squire had son named Bob.
Bob was wild blade and proposed to
knock his father out of second union
In the capacious breast pocket of the
squire's great coat reposed a pint
ticker, well filled, that that he pro-
pose using on his way back from seeing
the Widow Brown.
Now, just before he started Bob slip
ped the tickler out and put in its place
a small alarm clock, carefully wound
and set for II p. m.
The Squire had sat the fire out and
was well on with his overcoat. hold
ing the widows hand at the door and
putting his sweetest words at the last.
Yes, your first husband, my dear,
was one of my best friends, and well
visit his and my lost Hannahs graves,
won't we, love?"
An, yes, for where was there n
sweeter woman than your poor Han
nah?" asked the widow.
"A good woman; she was good
enough, but there's living one just
as sweet" said the squire, and he was
drawing her to him for a kiss when
whizz-wizz'd wi2zr- r-hizzer-ting-whir-r
ting, bang the clock went off inside of
him.
"oh, Lawdw screamed the widow:
hes shooting to pieces It's Han

him.
"She said she'd haunt me! She alters
told me sou cried the squire, running
in stoop for his horse, with both
hands pressed to his breast and the
clock still striking, ting, ting. He rode
like old Nick was after him and never
knew the racket till he felt for his
ticker and pulled out the little clock
that Bob had bought at auction. Then
ne laughed till the tears ran down his
cheeks, but he promised Bob never to
spark another woman if he'd only keep |
the joke from the neighbors.
The widow believes to this day that
Did man Bray is a walking volcano and
that his dead wife would set the battery
a-going if ever he went near a woman
again to mako love to her.

Elephants Mt Work.

Most persons have at one time or
another seen the trained elephants in
the circus ride the tricycle., sit on a
chair and do other tricks of that sort
but there is something forced about
the whole thing, and the spectator feels
that If it were not for the ropes and
the tents and the guards, the moor
beast would make clean bolt. Ont in
Rangoon, at the timber mills, however
the elephant is really of great service
to man. He carries the great planks
from place to place and stacks them IN
with such dexterity as to not only dis
pense with an engine and cars but
much manual labor besides. With only
native "mahout" perched upon his
back to guide him, the elephant will
lend a hand in laying railways. build
ing houses or any mortal thing after
little instruction. When the bell
rings they know the days work is
finished, and they simply refuse to do
another turn. Mahouts have paid the
penalty of trying to make them work
latter hours" with their lives.

POWER FROM THE WAVES.
Successful Experiments with the Cor
lach Motor.

Successful Experiments with the Ger.
ZACH Motor.
The experiments with the Gerlach
wave motor, which was described in the
Record about two months ago, have
been successful. NJ. A. Rothschild
president of the company conducting
the experiments, known as the Gerlach
Wave Motor Company, states that the
motor is in running order, and is devel-
oplng as high as $50 horse power. The
company, however, is not satisfied with
the location of the apparatus, which is
IN bay at Capitola, near San Francis
co, rather than on the ocean beach. and
until better location can be secured
nothing will be done toward utilizing
the power. This motor, as it's name in
dlcates, is designed to utilize the ener-
gy of the oceans waves. 1t consists
OF huge paddles, suspended in the wa
ter, go as to swing with the incoming
and outgoing of the waves. The mo-
ton thus impaired to the paddles Is
converted into rotary motion by suit
able contrivances. The paddles are ar
ranged to be elevated or lowered. so as
to always secure the most suitable
depth of immersion at all times.

The difficulty or the impossibility of
defining insanity makes The question of
whether or not animals become insane
by no means easy 10 answer. Insanity
In the human subject, it Is supposed
by some, has no analogue in the lower
animals. Yet many causes will lead
to the permanent loss of all self-con-
troll. Cattle driven from the country
through the crowded thoroughfares Of
a town will, under the influence of this
sudden change of condition. york
themselves into a state of excitement
and fury which must at least be close
ly allied to madness. Horses have been
known to so mad in the midst OF the
bewildering scenes of a battlefield. Al
Balaklava an Arabian horse turned up
on its attendant, who happened to be
drawing water seized him in its mouth
threw him to the ground and then
kneeling upon him attacked him like
an infuriated dog. Before the terror
could be subdued 1t had bitten off an

wounded the army veterinarian. An
other instance is related of docile
horse, which one hot summer day went
mad. Everything that came within
its reach it seized in it's teeth and shock
like a terrier would n rat. 1t raided
the pigsties and threw the inmates one
after another into the air. Afterwards
it almost killed it's own master, after
manning for life the horseshoer who
was called in. This, at least must have
been a case of insanity. The cause of
such insanity is often to be found in
malformation of the bones
of the head. Prof. Romanes even goes
SO far as to prove, by what appears to
be incontestable evidence. that animals,
cats, dogs and monkeys, have been OBJ

to those of insane people.

Moissan.
By the use Of the electric furnace
NJ. Moissan has been able to prepare
the metals whose oxides have been
looked upon as irredUcible by carbon.
He obtained uranium in this way threa
years ago, and in a recent number Of
the Complies Rendus he gives a COM
plete account OF it's preparation and
properties. 1t is isolated in three ways
by the action Of sodium at red heat
upon the double chloride of eodium and
uranium, by electrolysis of this doubla
salt in the fused state, and from the
oXide-by reduction with carbon in the
electric furnace. The last process gives
che best yields if the heating in con-
tact with carbon is not unduiy pro-
longed, and if air is excluded. Metallic
uranium, when pure, is perfectly white.
and is not magnetic if free from iron
1t is not hard enough to scratch glass
takes a good polish and can be filled
with ease. 1t is much more volatile
than iron in the electric forge. NJ,
Henri Becquerel, in the same number
OF the Complies Rendus, tells of a re-
markable and probably unique proper
ty of this metal-that of emitting inyis-
ible phosDhorescent rays capable of
producing Photographic effects after
trayerslng Opaque bodies such as card
board, aluminium, copper and platinum.
and also able to discharge a gold-Ieat
electroscope. The effects produced are
precisely similar to those obtained
from uranium salts except that they
are nearly four times as intense.

The Pioneer Saw, Mill.

The Pacific Lumber Trade Journal,
says there are few "mnley" or up
right sawmills in the country yet. At
one time the "muley" was all right,
and there are quite number of old
lumbermen living yet who point with
pride at records made with the old
fashioned sawmill. One of the oldest
of these mills is located at the head of
Big Skookum bay, above Shelton
known as the Wiley mill, and is still
doing good work. It is one of the
first patterns of mill for saving lum-
Der, and so far as we know the only
one of its kind in the state. Eastern
sawmill men, who visit the Wiley
mill, remember it as one of the kind
their fathers used to run, but it is
very rare in this generation. 1t is an
upright, or up-and-down sash run by
crank and sweep, and the power, is
supplied by a turbine wheel. The
"muley" mill gets its power from a
belt. This old mill was built by Joe
Sherwood in 1871 for Enock Wiley
who operated the mill until his death
some years ago, and now his sons con-
tinue the work. The mill has been
improved since it was first built but
still retains the interesting features of
its original constructions, and cuts
about 5000 feet of lumber a day. 1t
turns out very good lumber, and with
some remodeling would make profit
able concern. Sherwood built SIM
liar mill on Sherwood creek, at Allyn
on North Bay in march 1865, just
after the war and the old dam mill
pond still marks the spot, ga dam by
a mill site. but no mill by a-sight."
It was sold few years later to E. A.
Light, steilacoom pioneer and burn
ed years ago. This mill was built and
operated in the same manner, except
that the logs were bolted on the car
riagc, and the lumber was trimmed,
and cut up on Zig edger. Both
mills made all kinds of lumber, and
was great blessings to the pioneer OF
this region, enabling them to build
modern lumber houses, instead of the
log cabins, more or less pretensious
as the time or wealth of the settler
might warrant. A number of the old
houses built thirty or more years agr
still stand as monuments to the dur.
ability of Puget Sound fir.
