Ii will be seen what a falling off there
has been between 1857 and 1897 But go
further back, and the contrast becomes fer
more pronounced. During the four years,
1S14-17. the number of voyages made from
Scotland was 1874, and the total catch was
1852 whales, which yielded 1854 tuns Of
oil and S9l tons of bone. English ships in
the same four years made 1872 voyages,
and the total catch of whales was S,3iS
The average Of the Davis straits fishers
was about two-thlrds of this, and the
gross value of the freghts of the two
fleets Gncluding the government bounty of
80 shiLugs per toni, with oil at fS2 and
whalebone at ESQ per ton, exceeded 100000
for the one year. WhalebOne to-day is
worth & 500 per con, and oil f20 per tun.
The price of oil has diminished, owing to
the progress of gas and other illuminaats
and to the substitution of mineral Oil in
manufactures. But che value of bone has
advanced for over seventy years past, End,
as no really effective substitute has yet
been found, the price bids fair to go up
still higher in proportion as whales become
more rare.

played The "works' are attached to tie handle bar. From them downward to the edge of the front wheel extends q series of rubber shod and tiny bars of steel. IL is the action of the wheel upon these bars that communicates the vibrations to the works above, and the time in which the tune is played is regulated by the spsed of the wheel.
 For instance, the particular musical bike which has come to the United States plays only German tunes and of course includes among the number Die Yacht am Rhein" The musical machinery is set to the required tune something after the fashion of a hand organ This done all that is necessary to do is to mount and ride. One has no idea what difference time makes in the national tune of the fatherland until he hears the musical b reel it off
 Perhaps the most striking of the bikes accomplishments is its rendering of ''In Tfefen Keller" It almost seems as if the wheel itself entered into the spirit of this famous German melody and the way the music rolls out under the influence of ten-mile-an-hour gait is as exhilarating in it's influence as the riding itself. The genius who arranged the compositions for the wheel in qnes- tion evidently thought, too, that yari- ety was the spice of life, for the third of the compositions which it renders is that highly interesting little Munich ballad the finale of which "Yater, Yater, Yater-Yater; Yater, has caused many student cheer.
 The musical bike will give concert of an hours duration without read justment, playing it's programme over and over and over until the limit has l been reached, when it is necessary to infuse new life by means of a new arr engagement. Thus far only one of these strange contrivances has come to Us, but it is quite likely that before an other quarter of year has elapsed there will be more. In fact the dealers say that this bike is likely to come into public notice with the flowers of May though it may not prove as welcome an acquisition to the public pleasure.

THE FACES IN A MAPLE.
One of the Queerest Freaks Of Old
 Mother Nature.
Reproduees Portraits In the Heart of Tree-Fhree Pictures in One The Curiosity Found in
 Minneapolis.
rCopyright. 1898.

Mother Nature has just reproduced in the heart of a maple tree an almost perfect representation of that famous gallant of centuries ago, Sir Walter Raleigh. The little piece of wood on which it appears is dsidered by seien- tife men who havt examined it one of the greatest modern natural curiosi- ties.
 It was discovered by a carpenter, Mr. Hague, who examined the wood and presented 1t to the Northwestern Telephone Exchange company, at Minneapolis. He was put ting on some hardwood finishing a the new telephone building in Minneapolis when his plane cut to view black vein in the wood. After this had happened,

The latest fad in stockings for street wear are those of plaid silk and lisle thread. Although on first thought they would seem rather immodest. Ettie consideration would show that they are far less striking than plain black hose. since they are pretty sure to be worn with plaid undesskirts and so naturally blend into them. Dark blue. black and green plaids are the fayorites. barred with bright gold.
 For house wear with low shoes and slippers are stockings which are perfect in their beauty. Some have most de lig'htful clocks of openwork lace on the sides, the handsomest fully two incheo wide at the heels.
 The most striking novelties. however have delicate embroidered designs over fhe instep, introduced with openworl, lace patterns. In this way black lace fronts are woven into light blue stock ings and other well-eontrasting shades combined. Yet many are carried out entirely in one coloriug, with excellent effect.
 pair of stockings worn by dancer on the New York stage is creating quite a sensation. not in the theatrical alone. but also in the fashionable world. This famous pair of stockings is adorned with serpent whose head nestles just below the instep. From there ii winds it's way in delightful scrolls to the knee, Yet the greatest charm of this aGorn- meut does not lie in its form, but in the materials from which it is made. What do you think of serpents made from real jewels? Yet they are what this dancer wears. striking envy in the hearts of the feminine contingent in her audience.
