Sea Shells That Explode,

a contributor describes the curious
phenomena of explosive sea shells. He
says: Walking along the beach On Mo-
bile bay, a young woman, relative OF
the writer, picked up handful of little
shells, left by the tide, and among them
were several shells Of small marine
snail the largest Of which was prob
ably half inch in diameter and the
smallest some three-eights of an inch.
She dropped them into her pocket and
forgot all about them until several days
afterward, when an unpleasant odor
in her wardrobe attracted her attention
tc them. On taking them out Of her
pocket some fell On the floor, ard in re-
covering them she placed her foot on
one. The act was followed by an ex-
p,osion, quite sharp, and loud enough
to be heard all over the floor on which
her room is. Astonished, she concluded
to try another, and the same result fol-
lowed. The shells were then brought to
the writer, who on examination found
the mouth of each firmly closed by a
membrane of greater or less thickness,
formed by the drying of the animal
slime. This had probably occurred
soon after removal from the moisture
of the beach, and the little inha bitants
Of the shell dying, the gases of decom-
position had quite filled its internal
space. On exerting little pressure
by squeezing the shell between two
blocks of wood quite loud explosion
was produced, the fragments of the
shell being thrown several feet Subse-

Pursuit by Man Has Virtually Extin-
guished the Deep-Sea Monster.
Whalers, and especially the man with
the harpoon, have always been popular
characters, and, indeed, the perils and
exploits of their trade form not the
least stirring chapter in the romance
Of commerce, says the London Graphic
1t will, therefore, touch most of us with
some slight sense of loss to learn-as
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
assures us-that, as far as the arctic
seas are concerned, that chapter is
closed. This is prosaic age, and the
results of that famous corporation of
whalers, the Dundee Arctic Fisheries
company, limited, for the last two years
have, it is said, not only not satisfied the
shareholders, but have resulted in
heavy loss. The right whale, which
provides the famous bone, has become.
so scarce that ship is nowadays lucky
if it be rewarded by even one small one
as the reward of whole seasons
struggle with arctic fog and ice. A
parallel might be drawn between the
pursuit of the arctic leviathan and the
African behemoth, the elephant. Mod
crn improvements in weapons of de-
struction have so thinned both their
tribes that, as objects of profit, they
have almost ceased to be worth the
seeking.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
Chicago Womnn's Funny Attempt to
Suppress COckhghtinE.

The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakabie signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet, and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family. LIS
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly roar came
forth in the bass Of her grown-up son.
Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matter?"
There was an explosive smoker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the smoker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom
, .ised spanking.
