Ran Over a Whale.

San Francisco-Marine in San
Francisco Bay are keeping a sharp
lookout for vagrant whales, as the har-
Dor seems to be alive with sportive
leviathans which do not respect the
right of way of ferryboats and Other
craft. Since the wreck OF the pilot
boat Bonita, last week, there have
been many jokes oyer this fish story
and among the skeptica1 was Capt
Mckenzie of the Sausalito ferryboat
San Rafael. Mckenzie is no longer
a doubter, for when the ferryboat was
at full speed, whale rose directly il
in its course, not twenty feet away
Before engines could be reversed OF
the wheel swung over, the vesse
struck the whale fairly and passed
clean over it, as it came up astern
spouted and then disappeared. Tht
shock was as though the vessel hat
run into a mud bank.

tax board held them responsible.

also assumed that the war in South
Africa would cost fully $400,000,000 and
commented on the fact that consols
which used to stand at lis had gone
below par. He even ventured to pre-
dict that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, if
he were borrowing would emulate Mr..
Goschen's achievements in sending
them down to 95.
His speech was the most effective at
tack which has yet been made on the
government. The war has not been

pound on sugar would have yielded
more revenue than the new schedule
of increased taxes imposed by Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach at the expense
of payers of income dues and other
direct taxes.

A timely warning is sounded against
any wholesale rush of fortune-seekers
to South Africa. The ending of the
war and the absorption of the Boer
states into the British empire will
doubtless stimulate migration to those
regions, and will also increase the OPP
portunities of profitable settlement
there. But it will not be prudent for
any one to go thither without some
capital, or at least sufficient resources
to maintain him for some time in indie
pendence of anything he may or may
not do there. 1t is an expensive coun-
10 live in, and the gold mines and
other. sources of profit can be worked
only at considerable expense. 1t is
country in which capital will find prof
table investment, but not one in which
the penniless adventurer is likely to
pick up a fortune.

Oaxaca (Mex.)-The military au-

fighting between the Maya Indians and
troops in Yucatan for the last five days

The neuron is a nerve cell. Neither
Pythagoras nor Plato knew that man

no microscopes. When the neurons
were discovered they were Immediately

pute put forth the theory that each
neuron had an Independent life. When
a man went to sleep it was because his
neurons contracted and failed to touch
one another. Hence, the communica-
ton with his brain was broken. When
the neurons got rested they stretched
themselves once more. They touched
and formed a continuous line in the
nerve. The brain was again placed
in connection with the outer world and

A microscopic, by staining the neu-
rons, has made themsm more visible I'M

not independent. Their protoplasm or
cell substance intermingles. They are
not separate entities. Their reign is

If village improvement societies are
organized to make a town more
beautiful, why not public progress
boards, to make it more busy!
Such a society has just been or
ganized in Castine, Me-, and its pres
ent purpose is to induce some ship
building firm to locate its plant in chat
pretty town, which is great deal more
likely to get it's wish than it would be
if it sat down and waited to be discov-

vantages to market instead of expect

The Americans fought until their
ammunition was gone, and as they
were. surrounded, there was nothing to
do but surrender. One man was killed
and three wounded. Gen. Lacuna, who
was in command of the insurgents, re-

captors and killed five.
Capt. Lara of the Manila native po-

He had been effectively enforcing reg
