It seems grave incongruity that
while the new naval bill provides for
a liberal number of new battleships
and other naval craft, it's provision for
docks is entirely inadequate. The
necessity and the humiliation of hav-
ing been obliged to dock the Indiana
at Halifax does not appear to have
made sufficient impression upon Con-
gress to induce it to correct the error
or failure to provide sufficient facili-
ties for the repair of our ships

WHALE HUNTING.

E1rst American whaIer Was Accused ~
 Sorcery-vaIuabie Catches.
 The whale fisheries pursued for many years with great profit to the whalers of Massachusetts and Long Island are now but shadow of their former proportions. Forty years ago nearly 500 whaling ves- sells sailed from New Bedford, Mass. and returned with oil and whalebone worth nearly $7,000, 000 Whale oil then sold for $2.75 gallon and whale bone was worth $6 pound Now that the whaling grounds have been denuded of their riches, the docks of New Bed- ford are almost deserted of whalers, for few fishermen are hardy enough to ven- ture into antarctic waters, where the remnants of formerly vast schools of whales fled for security.
 The whaling industry is one of the oldest in America. 1t was established in 1755. It reached it's most profitable period ob years later. Since 1860 it has been decreasing in importance and profit Today it adds very little to the wealth of New Bedford.
 A writer in The Fishing Gazette says: "One William Hamilton was the first person who killed whales on the New England coast. He was born i'll Scotland in 1643 and, coming to this country i'll the early part of his life, took up his residence at Cape God, where he was persecuted by the inhabitants for killing whales as one who dealt with evil spir- it's. Whaling was afterward carried on by Mir. Paddock, who went to Nan tucket about the middle of 1880 for the purpose of instructing the English in the art of whaling ill boats from the shore, which business continued good and profitable till the year 1760, when it diminished in consequence of the scarcity of whales. In 1718 whales were pursued on the ocean in small sloops and schooners of from 30 to 50 tons. The blubber was brought home and tried or boiled ill try houses A few years later vessels of larger burden were employed and the oil boiled out in try works at sea.
 aThe most valuable catch ever made by whaleship was that of the Onward. Captain Allen, which arrived in New Bedford after 1 1 months cruise with cargo worth over $275,000, of which the captains share was $33, 900. The total value of the whole product of the whales brought into New Bedford dur ing the 52 years for which a record has been kept is more than $145, 900, 900.
 'eThe average ship carrying crew of 30 hands, used to cost about $35, 900. The ships were owned by companies, which supplied provisions and clothing and all the necessaries of the voyage and advanced certain sums of money for the captain and his crew to leave for the support of their families while they were away. No wages were paid to either the officers or the sailors, but each had his share in the proceeds of hevoyage, and the balance was divided among the stockholders when they re- turned. The captains and mates were hardy New Englanders, but the crews were mostly Portuguese from the Cana Y, Madeira and Azore islands.

and blouses for wear over bodices of pale tinted silk or satin. This decoration is usually black and is often enriched by metal effects.
 Blouse jackets of cloth, velvet or fur are immensely worn and are the preferred style. Of course those of fur are the most esteemed, but braided cloth composes some very pretty ones, while heavy, rough cloaking is also effectively employed for them.
 Hats, when they are of any size, arc usually lifted at the left side, inclining slightly toward the right, the hair, when thus displayed, being loosely waved throughout.
 Women who amuse themselves by in- dulging in all the faneies of the wardrobe have sort of wrap which they wear over the peignoir during the process of hair dressing. This wrap is large and loose, without sleeves, the armholes being fin ished with frill of lace or of the material.
 Tails as a border for fur capes are lit tie out of date, frill of fur, more or less full, sometimes even 1uted, being the newest finish.
 The illustration shows a costume of golden brown ribbed velvet, the skirt be- ing decorated around the foot by an ar- engagement of white and gold galloon. The blouse bodice has short basque and is trimmed with white satin embroidered with gold, the satin also forming bretelles and the lower of the two sleeve caps, the upper cap being of tho velvet. Coquilles of lace descend the front of the bodice. The belt and cuffs are of white satin em- breidered with gold. The hat of beige felt is trimmed with chestnut brown plumes.

In spite of everything there are still plenty
of opportunities left for human daring.
From Thibet comes the story of the suffer-
ings of Mr.. Landor, who tried to reach
Lhassa and got into trouble in making the
attempt. He and his servants were bound
to trees. Their eyes were burned with red
hot irons, They were racked and wrenched
out of all Semblance of men. But the cour-
ageous explorer refused to show any signs
of weakening, and in spite of his being re-
duced to the point of death. succeeded in
preserving his note books and photographs.
Then there is the other explorer who
assembled Mount Aconcagua in the Andes.
In describing his experiences he said: Then
the dust which smothers everything, gets
into your throat and chokes you. You cough
exhaustingly, and pant worse than ever.
Every effort. however slight entails fresh
effort Of the will. and your only desire in
the world is to give up the whole thing and
get down. 1t appears to you at that time
high climbing is the most insane and need
less undertaking conceivable. When ] was
rot climbing I just sat and wished that /
was dead" So long as there are things of
this sort to do there viii be plenty of OPP
portunity for letting off steam and expend-
ing the pent-up energy of the Adventures.
