pooner managed to cut the line, SO
that for the present they were safe

choose to rush across them.
Happily. the rushing was almost
over. The bomb fired by Mr.. Count,
with such fatal result to poor Bamber-
ger, must have exploded right in the
whales throat. Whether his previous
titanic efforts had completely exhaust

OF him again. We got the
whale cut in as usual without any in
cident worth mentioning, except that
the peculiar shape of the jaw made it
an object of great curiosity to all of us
who were new to the whale fishing.
Such malformations are not very rare.
They are generally thought to occur
when the animal is young. and its
bones soft; but whether done in fight
ing with one another. or in some more
mysterious way. nobody knows. Cases
have been known. believe. where the
deformed whale does not appear to
have suffered from lack OF food In
consequence OF his disability; but IN
each of the three instances which have
come under my own notice. such was
certainly not the case. Those whales
were what is termed by the whalers
"dry-skins:" that is. they were in poor
condition, the blubber yielding less
than half the usual quantity OF oil.
The absence of oil makes 1t very hard
to cut up. and there is more work in
one whale of this kind than In two
whose blubber Is rich and soft.

On Her Finger with . Machine That
Clinched Il to the Flesh.
New York Sun: Rosie Pierre, IS
years old, of 341 Madison street, met
with a singular accident in Joseph
Klein & Co.'S tailor shop, at 626 Broad
way, yesterday. She was putting but
tons on trousers, using for that purpose
machine that stamps them on and
clinches them on the other side She
got her hand into the machinery. 1t
did not stop. 1t went right on. The
next button was sunk deep into flesh
Of the last joint Of her index finger,
and clinched all right on the nail side
With it so fixed she was taken over
to police headquarters. The button
was fastened as II 1t were never to
come of. An ambulance was sent for,
but the surgeon knew Of no way to get
1t off, He took her over to st. Vim
cents hospital. The surgeons at the
hospital cut the button out. 1t had
been clinched into the flesh, and it was
necessary to put the girl under ether
to perform the operation.

IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

By Frank T. Bullen, in The cruise
OF the Cachalot": When between Co.'S
moiedos and Astove, the next island to
the northward, we sighted a SOLITARY"
eAcnaiot one morning just as the day
dawned. 1t was the first for some time
nearly three weeks-and being we'll
seasoned to the work now, we obeyed
tne call to arms with great alacrity
our friend was making passage, turn
ing neither to the right hand nor the
lert as he went His rising and num-
Der OF spouts while up, as well as the
time he remained below, were as reg
uiar as the progress of a clock. and
could be counted upon with quite as
much certainty.
Bearing in mind, I suppose, the gen.
eral character of the whales we had
recently met with, only two boats were
lowered to attack the newcomer, who
all unconscious Of our coming, pursued
his leisurely course unheeding
We got good weathergage Of him,
and came flying on as usual. getting
two irons planted in fine style. But a
surprise awaited us. As we sheered up
into the wind away from him, Louis
shouted: "Fightin' whale, sir; look
out for de rush." Look out, indeed!
Small use in looking out when, ham
pered as we always were at first with
the unshipping of the mast, we could
out any Of the desperate fiounderings
generally INDUCED in on first feeling
the iron, he turned upon us, and had
1t not been that he caught sight OF the
second mates boat, which had just ar
rived, and turned his attention to her,
there would have been but scant
chance Of any escape for us. Leaping
half out Of the water, he made direct
for our comrades with a vigor and fe-
rocity marvellous to see, making 1t no
easy matter for them to avoid his tre-
mendous rush. Our actions, at no time
slow, were considerably hastened by
his display of valor, SO that before
rection we were ready for him. Then
ensued really big fight, the first, in
fac, of my experience, for none of the
other whales had shown any serious
determination to do us an injury, but
had devoted all their energies to at
tempts at escape. So quick were the
evolpt:ons, and so savage the appear
ance Of this fellow, that even our vet
eran mate looked anxious as to the
possible result. Without attempting to
sound the furious monster kept mostly
below the surface; but whenever he
rose, 1t was either to deliver fearful
blow with his tail, or, with jaws wide
spread, to try and bite one of our boats

GUNS THAT DON'T KILL,

Guns have plenty Of uses apart from

nouncing her arrival on a coast.
Again, in desert countries, where wa
ter is difficult to collect out of a mere
dampness of sand, a gun barrel sunk
into the ground will collect moisture
in the bore, and many life has been
saved by a timely suck at the muzzle.
In many an English town the l
o'clock gun fired by electricity from
Greenwich observatory is used for set
ting all the clocks; while the minute
guns are fired for public mourning and
national rejoicings take the form Of a
royal salute.
A SLAYER captured with a cargo of
slaves in the tropics was put in charge
of a prize crew. On her voyage the wa
ter ran short, and both slaves, slavers
and prize crew were dying of thirst.
This set one of the marines-a ser
geant-thinking, and he hit upon q
brilliant idea.
After gaining reluctant consent from
the captain he took all the available
gun-barrels, plugged up the breech-
ends of a few of them. filled their
bores with sea-water, and set them end
up among the Goals of the galley-fire.
As the steam rose he ran II through
over gun barrels until it got cool. The
cooling steam collected in the shape of
excellent fresh water, Of which he
procured a steady though small sup

The Brazilian Variety Very scarcs-A
Possible Substitute.
Ten or twelve years ago one could
buy all the Rio ipecac root he wanted
for Sl-25 an ounce, says the New York
Tribune. Now 1t costs $4.25. and It Is
quite as likely to grow more expensive
as to become cheaper. The supply has
almost ceased and the worlds stock is
said 70 be in the hands OF a few Amer
ican dealers. There is much talk. how
ever, at the present time about the
fitness Of the Carthagena. or New Ora
NADIA. root as an efYic;ent substitute for
the Brazilian article. At least two
points Of difference have been noticed
between the two. One is merely in
appearance. When cut open the Car
thagena root shows certain rings less
distinctly than does that from Rio.
The other distinction Is more impor-
tant. The alkaloid upon which the
Brazilian ipecac depends for its sctiv-
ity is known as "emetine." This is
found to only a small degree in the
Carthagena root. The characteristic
principle OF the latter Is known as
"cephaeline," and Its action In some
what unlike that Of emetine. Com
menting on the situation q week or two
ago. the American Druggist expressed
surprise that more study had not been
given to cephaeline by experts than 1t
has thus far received. Whenever new
varieties Of vegetable drug are dis
covered 1t is customary to investigate
them with great particularly. Thus
far, however. the physiological chem
lists are unable to speak with confidence
about the active principle Of the New
Granada root. One secret Of the dimin-
ution In the output Of Rio ipecac is
the labor of digging the roots. The
operation involves bending over, and
is said to be exceedingly tiresome. But
this is also true Of the Carthagena root.
The real explanation, therefore, is
probably the discovery by the Brazil
ians that rubber culture il Just now
more profitable than digging ipecac.

was severely handicapped by NAL
formation of the lower jaw. At short
distance from the throat 1t turned of
nearly at right angles to his body, the
part that thus protruded sideways be-
ing deeply fringed with barnacles and
plated with big limpets.
Had 1t not been for this impediment
I verify believe he would have beaten
us altogether. As it was, he worked
us nearly to death with his ugly
rushes. Once he delivered a sidelong
blow with his tail, which, as we spun
around, shore of the two oars on that

by his previous exertions he now start

the two boats sheering broadly out

doubtless because he himself was
much fatigued, the mate allowed him

chase Of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number Of
cars per train. But II was not until
the 18th of March last that a demon
stration was made OF what might be
expected Of the new Baltimore 4 Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department chance

weighing $4,000 pounds. were loaded
with an average of $4,000 pounds OF

made from Cumberland, Nd, and the

the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class of engines used
will be able to handle SO cars of SO

RESULTS OF FOREST FIRES.

tain Regions.
The traveller through the mountain
rooions of central and northern Colo
ado. even though he makes only cas-
,,oI observations, cannot fail to be i'm
nressed with the extent of the devas
tation that has been wrought by forest
f;res. One may ride for miles through
reyions where the destruction came in
very recent years, as is shown by the
bIackness, the entire absence of living
yeqetation and the utter desolation.
On these areas the general appearance
marks the destruction as more remote
many trees are rotting on the ground ;
from those standing the bark has been
worn away, and their bleaching trunks
remain, white and ghostly, the last
relics of a once grand forest. On these
areas other vegetation has started
and some are sufficiently covered with
grasses and sedges to afford good pas
turage for stock. Here and there are
thick groves of young aspens, bordered
with scattering shrubs, elder, buffalo
berry, shad bush, currants and goose
berries, or the whole may be covered
with a growth of shrubs intermingled
with scattering pines and spruces.
Sometimes this new coniferous growth
is scanty, and again it is abundant,
covering the whole surface and form
ing dense forests. Other areas must
have been denuded at still earlier pc
Rod. and here the evidence of former
forest growth is reduced to a few rot
ten remnants of stumps or trees. Some
of these new areas are now timbered
with new coniferous growth, while 9th
ers are nearly barren of vegetation.
