Longevity of WhaIes.

Some light was thrown upon the SUBJ
ject of the vitality of whales by finding
one of these animals in Boring sea in
1890 with n "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
1854. 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 sc years.
In connection with this fact William
H. Dali gives an account in The Ma
tional Geographic Magazine of dis
cussion with Captain e. 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
becomes possible that the animal was
struck with secondhand iron.-Popu-

Elenhnnt md Train.

A big and ugly elephant which had
long been an object of pursuit to the
sportsmen of the Straits Settlements
one day wandered on to the railway
line and tried conclusions with the en-
CINE of goods train, charging it re-
peatedly and keeping up the contest for
nearly an hour. The engine was re-
versed In the hope that the beast would
allow the train to proceed, but as soon
as there was any attempt to renew the
journey the elephant returned to the
encounter and resumed its obstructive
tactics. The driver was afraid to
charge the brute, lest the train should
be thrown OFF the rails, and the contest
might have gone on much longer had
not the elephant backed into the en-
gine~ and. setting its fore feet firmly
between the rails. endeavored to shove
the train backward with its hind quar-.
tiers.
The driver took advantage of the op.
portunity and put on steam. gradually
forcing the beast off the line. In this
vancouver one of the wheels of the en-
CINE went over the hind legs of the
animal, which was put out of its mis-
cry by the guard of n following passen-
ger train.-Science.

An odd Coincidence.

Late one night some years ago In a
western town. said an old telegraph
operator, Il received IL message which
read, If you wish TO see your brother
alive, you will have to come immedi
ately.' The message came from San
Francisco and was addressed to an old
man who lived across the street from
the station, so | put on my hat and
went over and delivered 1t, seeing that
It was important that he should have 1t
at once.
"The old man caught the train that
left at midnight, and while he was buy
Ing his ticket he told me that the mes
sage referred to his brother who had
left home 20 years before and from
whom he had heard nothing during all
that time.
'The next night party called and
asked If there were any messages for
him, giving the same name as the old
man who had left the night before. He
must have noticed that looked ut him
rather blankly, for he went on to ex-
plain that he had a brother In Califor-
Hld W HO was BUN anu thdt uC was oAA-
ious to hear from him.
"Well, 1t turned out that the mes
sage that | had received the night be-
fore was intended for him. He was a
stranger In the town and CHANGED to
bear the same name as the old man
whom had sent on wild goose chase
across the continent. Fortunately for
me l was transferred to another town
before the old man got back. That Is
all there is to the story except that 1t Is

beds might be almost indefinitely ex'

The theory upon which the members
of the association are working Is tha'
1t will yet be possible for them to gain
such complete control over the body as
to keep part of the system at resi-
while the other part Is engaged In us
labors. In this way any unnecessary
waste of vital energy would be
avoided.
They are also trying to discover how
sleep may be made most advantageous.
They believe that people do not sleep
wisely; that in ignorance they pass
many hours in slumber and yet extract
from that sleep the minimum or rest.
For instance, 1t has been found tha'
if the bed is not constructed properly
one cannot get the best results from
the hours of repost. 1t Is, of course,
bad to sleep upon the back, but 1t is
even worse to sleep In such position
that the stomach Is as high as the
head and the feet lower than both. In
the same way If the spring of the bed
yields to the weight Of the body too
readily, the sleeper will be in kind of
hollow whether he lies on his back or
his side. If he lies on his back his
feet are too high, and If he lies on his
side the spine Is so badly curved that
the sleep is actually detriment to the
health rather than an advantage.
In order to obyiate this it should be
seen that the springs are so construct
ed that they are stronger at the center
than at the head or foot. Then. the
mattress should be moderately hard
and the pillow should not be too high.
If these conditions are obtained it will
be possible for person to obtain the
greatest amount Of benefit from the
hours devoted to repose.

A Black Cigar.

The reader who remembers his first
cigar, and how it affected him, NAV be
able to sympathize with the young sol
der in Cuba who lately narrated one
of his war experiences:
Il had learned to smoke before | en-
tered the service, but was not an ex-
travagant smoker, by any means, and
easily fell victim to a job which one
of the officers put up on me. He went
to one of the shops, and ordered a large
cigar made of the very strongest to-
bacco to be found.

black as ink, and has the strength of

would give a silver dollar to anybody
who could smoke 1t. Like a fool | took
him up. Now understand he said.

An experiment that Is as strange as
1t Is interesting is being tried by an
organization of students In several
American universities, which has for
Its purpose the lengthening of working
hours. This experiment is based up
ON the belief that sleep is, to large
extent, a matter of habit and that II
can be lessened materially II proper
care of the system is taken. They be-
lieve that rules can be devised by
which they will be able to reduce the
sleeping hours to a minimum consist
ent with continued health and they are
working hard to bring this condition OF
things about.
Although there is probably no neces-
sary connection between a lack of
sleep and a brilliant career 1t is never
theless fact that many of the most
eminent men spent less hours in their
beds than most Of us. 1t Is no unusual
thing for Edison to work thirty-six
hours continuously at a single problem

snatch an hour or two of sleep when
exhausted nature proves too strong for
him. Humboldt, the great German
philosopher, rarely spent more than
four hours in bed, and Littre, who lived
to be 80, thought that to spend more
than five hours a day In sleep was
shameful self-indulgence. Jules Verne
Is another believer In the virtues of lit
tie slumber. Although he reads until
late into the night, he is at his desk at
dawn In summer and by 6 o'clock in
winter. Lord Wolseley, like Bismarck
and Won Moltke, has always got along
very nicely with little sleep and the list
