When day appeared they saw four great
animals Gt is thought there had been
others struggling with death and utter
ing frightful cries.
Thus ii would seem, on the authority of
one of the foremost naturalists of his day,
that The people of a town were absolutely
demoralized by the believing of whales.
Whether these sounds can be produced I'M
der water is a question, but old whalers
have seen the right whale rising out of the
water, holding itself in an upright position
for some time, evidently listening and
watching for sounds. Beale tells us that
the sperm whale has undoubtedly some
method of communicating five or six miles
under water
The whale best known for its alleged
possession of a rudimentary language is
the calling whale, named by Cuvler Del
phemus deductor, and by DR.. Trail Dol
phinus melas, and sometimes known as
the roundheaded porpoise. 1t is a very al
tractlve creature, ranging from 16 to "a
feet in length, the body being black, with
a surface like satin or oiled silk. 1t has
high dorsal fin and its side pectoral
fins are from six to eight feet in length,
appearing more like limbs than fms Add
to this a powerful tail, five feet across.
and we have one of the best equipped
whales for speed. 1t is commonly found i'm
the Northern ocean from sc degrees to 60
degrees, though specimens have been seen
in the Mediterranean.
The calling whale is one of the most So
ciable of the tribe, and from time immem-
orial IL has BEEN the custom of the inhab-
itants of the Farce Islands to hunt 1t. In
one year the people killed 1000 and as
many as LOO have been taken in Iceland.
The ease with which they are taken is due
to the fact that they invariably follow
leader, just as do a flock of sheep. Dr..
Nell has given an Illustration of their vo-
cal powers, describing a school which
stranded at Bloubalzbanee. Here u men
only engaged in the chase and succeeded
in running a young whale in upon the
beach. 1t at once set up loud cries, where
upon the others, who were in deeper wa
ter, followed suit, replying with vigor, and
rushed In TO the rescue and were all
caught. DR.. Neil states that when one
strikes the ground it utters a "howling
cry and others at once crowd to its re-
lief.
From all this testimony 1t might reason
ably be inferred that certain whales utter
sounds, some of which are understood BY
their mates and intended as calls.

Animals WITH Talent.

From the New York Tribune.
The two animals that seem to have
real appreciation of the drama and of
their parts in it are the horse and the
dog Monkeys have been made to do
amusing things on the stage, but they
seem inclined to forget the drama in their
private ouarrels. They are sometimes all
the more diverting on that account, and
IL may be argued that this is also point
of likeness with prime dome, but is 1t
art?'
And even the best of animals cannot be
depended on with certainty, as has been
said. How many hundred times Joseph
Jefferson has been asked why the audi
ence was not allowed to see the dog that
was so much talked about in RIP Van
Winkle?" That dog is constantly heard of
but never seen. He is called, but never
responds. He is whistled to, but he never
comes. The audience is always led to I'M
derstand that he has just gone or is just
coming, and that it barely misses seeing
him because of the too early fall of the
too late rise of the curtain, or of the sud-
den departures of Rip or the interference
of Gretchen. II is Schneider who would
certainly know Rip if he should see him,
hut he never does see him, and the audi
ence has never seen Schneider. 1t is al
WAYS a grief. But Mr.. Jefferson never
dared to let Schneider appear He always
feared that he would bark, or tip over
the table. or make some other error in
his acting at the time when il would cost
most 10 the effect of the scene.
Yet dogs have been employed on the

BIsMARCK's HOMELY DOG.

Memminger met it at Kissingen in COM
pany of its inustrious master he observed
that it was far from beautiful.

like to do homage even TO their cousin.

Cuban Cedar Best FOR Cigar boxes.

From the Washington Star.
"There are something like 100000 CT"
gar boxes used in the United States an
nually. and about nine-tenths of that
number are made in this city, where the
trade rivals the clothing industry in point
of capital invested and the number or
people employed" said a leading cigar
box manufacturer in New York to the
writer yesterday. 1.-THE material out OF
which the best boxes are made comes
principally from Cuba, and is known as
Spanish cedar. The recent war with Spain
has shortened the supply and increased
the price of the article to such an extent
that many boxmakers whose stock of ce-
dar was small early last spring have been
compelled to use a cheaper and less de-
sirabie grade of wood for the purpose
zone New York firm has been expert
menting with timber from the uneXplored
Paraguayan forests, which are said to con-
tain the finest cedar wood In the world
They have, however, experienced consld-
cradle difficulty In selling their boxes, as
cigar manufacturers and connoisseurs IN
sists that il spoils a fine cigar to put it
in any box not made of genuine Spanish
cedar The latter wood always retains
the flavor of a good cigar. Indeed, some
people claim that it improves the flavor.
The reason given is that 1t grows in the
same localities as the best Havana to-
bacco.
Attempts made to use cedar grown in
the United States for cigar boxes have
not been very successful. The Florida
and South American cedar contains pc
culiar gum that melts when the wood IS
exposed to the heat of store or house.
and thus the labels and sometimes the
cigars in a box, are spoiled. OF course,
the smokers of cheaper brands of cigars
are less particular about the quality OF
the wood used for their boxes, and We
neered cedar, made from a peculiar sort
of cedar that grows in Mexico, is often
substituted for the Spanish article. But
it cannot be done without the cigar deal
ers finding it out, and the consequence IS
that even a good cigar when packed in
such box, sells at a disadvantage"
