Longevity of whales.

Some light was thrown upon the sub
ject of the vitality of whales by finding
one of these animals in Boring sea in
1890 with ''toggle" harpoon head in
its body bearing the mark of the Amer
lean whaler Montezuma. That vessel
was engaged in whaling In Boring sea
about ten years, but not later than
1864. She was afterward sold to the
government and was sunk In Charles
ton harbor during the civil war to serve
as an obstruction. Hence 1t Is estimat-
ed the whale must have carried the
harpoon not less than SO years.
In connection with this fact William
ii. Dali gives an account in The Ma
tional Geographic Magazine of dis
cussion with Captain 4. p. Herendeen
of the United States National museum
of cases OF whales that have been sup
posed to have made their way from
Greenland waters to Boring strait and
TO have been identified by the harpoons
they carried While it is very likely
that the whale really makes the pas
sage an uncertainty must always be
allowed. for ships were often chang
ing ownership. and their tools were
sold and put on board of other vessels,
and harpoon irons were sometimes CIV
en- or traded to Esklmos. 1t therefore
becomes possible that the animal was
struck with a secondhand lron.-Popu-

A STORY OF DAN RICE.
The Great Clown Did Not Forget the
Tent Mans Bill.


One story OF Dan Rice, the veteran
circus clown, illustrates his strict sense
of honesty and gratitude for favors.
Once he was stranded In Cincinnati,
the story goes, and was unable to start
q show on the road because he had no
tent and could not raise money TO buy
one The tent Rice needed would be
worth 81 1900. The manager OF tent
concern sent for the clown one morn
ing and. taking him to his factory,
showed a big tent that was just finish
I'd. Rice looked at 1t with hungry eyes.
He turned away. with a sigh.
Fine tent, don't you Think" asked
the canvas maker.
Rice looked back at 1t over his shout
der, with another deep sigh.
Its yours" said the tent man.
Rice was like playful kitten in an
instant.
II believe there is lot Of money in
you yet" said the canvas man. You
take that tent and start your show.
and II you ever get money enough to
pay me for 1t the price is $4,000"
Within two weeks Rice was ON the
road with a show and began a success
full career. For Is years he never re-
ferred to the tent, although he often
met the man who made it. One after
noon he asked the tent man to be his
guest at one of his shows, then in Gin
cinnati. The two sat looking on, and
Rice remarked:
Zine show. don't you think?"
The canvas man declared that 1t GER
tainly was.
by the way" added Rice, there's
that $4,000 l owe you" He took roll
of bills out of his pocket and handed 1t
TO the tentmaker, who pocketed 1t with
out unrollins 1t. The old tent man low

clared that the great men of this coun-

Both Actor and Artiat.

1t is probable that had Forbes Rob-
ertson not become an actor he would
have been an artist. Among his treas
ures at home are the various sketches
which he made when student at the
academy schools. Probably one of the
most interesting of these sketches is
that of little girl some @ or years of
age, who was a model at the schools,
but whose beauty in later years Sc
cured for her the hand and heart Of a
