DUE TO iNORDlNATE VANITY.
Injury OF kRiscr's Eye Is Explained
by a German Diplomat.


The recent injury to the kaiser's eye
was the result Of a characteristic eX-
hibition of personal vanity on his part.
He was informed that it would be un-
safe, if not impossible, to lower the
heavy steel pole masts Of the Hohen-
zollern, his gigantic yacht, unless she
were in dock and under derrick. He
exclaimed that if nothing was impos-
aible to him, and said if the naval en-
cineers aboard were unable to devise
means of lowering the masts while the
ship was afioet he would teach them
how.
Accordingly, he drew up a scheme
for unshipping the masts by means OF
hawsers attached to The bow and to
the other masts. 1t was while this
hawser was being rugged up under his
personal direction that rope snapped
and the end struck him in the face.
His eye was seriously injured. The
kaiser bore the intense pain without
fnching while in sight Of his crew,
but when he withdrew to his cabin he
threw himself on the bed and writhcd
in agony. When the surgical aid he OBJ
tanned some relief, he returned to the
deck with his eye bound up, and, in
spite of the urgings OF his officers, he
had the pole mast lowered. doing con-
siderable damage to the yachts deck
and rigging by the operation. Having
given this demonstration Of his "di-
vine'power, he had the crew summoned
and prayer was offered up. The cpl
sode was due to one of those attacks
of mania to which he is subject in mid
summer.
The private letter from ., diplomat
ic source in Berlin giving this authen-
tic account of the incident says that the
eye is very gravely hrrt and that 1t
is quite possible the kaiser's sight may
be permanently affected.-Chicago

during the early days Of the whale
fishery several well-attested instances
occurred of whales struck in one ocean,

This would indicate that some whales
are great travellers, for to get from the
Atlantic to the North Pacific they
would have to go many thousands OF
miles, passing either around Cape Horn
or around the northern end of North
America and through Behring strait.

brows in thought. when did he make

How Cs,riches run.

Considerable misconception prevails
as to the manner in which the ostrich
runs. It seems to be still generally held
that when running it spreads out its
wings, and, aided by them, skins light
ly over the ground. This is not cor
rect. When a bird really settles itself
to run, it holds it's head lower than
usual and a little forward. with deep
loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
sinuously, but the head remains steady,
thus enabling the bird. even at top
speed, to look around with unshakea
glance in any direction The wings
lie along the sides about on a level with
or little higher than the back, and
are held loosely, just free of the plur1g-
ing "thigh." There is no attempt to
hold them extended or derive any as
sistance from them as organs OF flight.
When an ostrich, after a hard run, is
very tired, its wings sometimes droop;
this is due to exhaustion. They are
never,by q running bird exerting itself
to the utmost, held out away from the
sides to Tighten its weight CT to increase
it's pace. But the wings appear to be OF
great service in turning, enabling tho
