SINGULAR DISCOVERIES.
a Whale That Was a Valuable Contribu
tor to Science.

a Whale That Was q Valuable Contribu-
tor to Science.
a very strange thing happened to
the prince OF Monaco's steam yacht
Princesse Alice. near the island of
Terceira in the Azores last summer.
The prince has devoted his yacht to the
study of the ocean and it's inhabitants,
and many important facts have thus
been gathered for science. On the oc-
casion referred TO a sperm-whale, or
cachalot, about As feet long. was har-
pooned by some fishermen. and in it's
dying struggles it made direct for the
Princesse Alice. If il had struck the
little yacht the consequences might
have been very serious, but just when
the collision seemed inevitable the
whale Owed, and coming up on the
other side of the yacht, turned upon it's
back in the death-agony. At this in
slant the bodies of three gigantic
cephalopods-the class to which cut
tlefisbes belong were elected from
the whales mouth. These were Sc
cured by a boat from the yacht, and
later the bodies of a number of curious
inhabitants of the sea were found in
the whales stomach. The cephalo-
pods belong to new species. Other
captures that the whale had made were
SO interesting as to lead Mr.. j. Y. Ru-
chanan, the naturalist to remark in a
recent number of Nature: "The each
nlot which was killed by the whalers of
lerceira almost under the keel of the
guided in the pursuit of its food by a
desire to devoLr nothing but animals
which. up to the present, are COM
pletely unknown"

SUMMARY OF PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND'S MESSAGE.

Mr.. Cleveland's message to con.
gress opens with .congratulation
to the country on the orderly ac,
quiescence of all parties in the re-
suit of the recent election.
With regard to Turkey it asserts
that the rights of Americans are
now respected, that the claims for
missionary property destroyed at
Harpoot have not been adjusted,
that several American war vessels
are stationed in the Mediterranean
as a means of caution, and expresses
the opinionnthat the present reign
of massacre and pillage cannot con-
tinue long.
The Cuban situation is reviewed at
length, and a suggestion is put forth
that the United States cannot for
an indefinite time maintain an at
titude of Indifference toward the
struggle.
The Venezuelan dispute, says the
president, has ceased to be a matter
OF difference between the United
States and Great Britain, an agree.
ment having been reached 20 submit
the question to arbitration
The president recommends official
residences for our foreign ministers,
ambassadors and conSuls. He ex-
presses hope for the adoption of
efficient measures to prevent eXtinc-
ton of the seals. ...

cheney of $25, 203, 654 for the year

VERY SHOCKING FISH.
lnhabit the Mediterranean and Posses
Peculiar Attributes.

lnhabit the Mediterranean and Possess
Peculiar Attributes.
Many people know of the electric eel
of South America, but there are COM
paratively few who have heard of the
torpedo or electric ray of the Mediter-
ranean sea. This curious fish, accord
ing to the New York Journal, is about
the size and shape of large frying
pan, with short and exceedingly
broad handle. 1t is fat and swims
horizontally in the water.
The torpedo, which is found practic-
ally in the Bay Of Biscay and the shores
of the Mediterranean sea, is so called
because of it's habit of giving electric
shocks. Such shocks are feeble, as u
rule, not greater than those from small
electric battery. If the fish is enraged,
however, it is capable of giving much
more powerful shock. 1t uses this Gu
rious weapon to stun the small fishes
and animals on which it preys, thus
making the victim insensible previous
to devouring it. 1t is very sluggish
fish and will lay for hours buried in the
sand few feet from the shore in shall
low water. Electricity is much talked
Of as medical agent nowadays, and
for such uses is spoken of as a new dis
covery, but in the days of Caesar this
natural electricity was much used for
the same purpose and physicians of
the time applied it to the leg or arm of
person suffering from rheumatism,
govt or nervous diseases, the patient
keeping his hand or foot on the fish
as long as it was possible to bear the
shocks. This was said TO have been an
excellent remedy
