length, and very massive. It con-
sists of three parts. the anterior con-
ical portion, the movable barbs, and
lne shaft. The anterior conical piece
is an explosive shell filled with gun
powder, and screws on to the rest of
the harpoon. The explosive shell is
fired with time-fuse after the har-
poon is imbedded in the whale.
Behind the conical explosive piece
lie the four barbs, situated at right
angles to each other. These barbs
are always bound down tightly to-
gethed with thin rope and when the
harpoon is going to be discharged. AS
the harpoon penetrates the flesh of
the whale this rope gets brushed of
the barbs, and, in so doing, pulls a
wire, which sets fire to the fuse, and
it explodes the shell in a few seconds.
The shell gets blown to pieces and
makes terrific wound in the whales
interior. and the explosion causes the
four barbs to stand out. so that it be-
comes impossible for the harpoon to
be withdrawn. The rest of the har-
poon consists of long shaft with a
slot in it in which ring moves freely
with the rope attached.
If the whale is at all we'll hit, the
harpoon gets imbedded about five
feet, and unless the rope breaks. the
animal cannot escape. The rope.
which is very stout one. passes from
the harpoon onto a round trap in front
OF the gun where a coil of fifty feet or
SO lies.

strument of destruction devised by the
ingenuity of man. But it is only when
one sees and knows the prodigious
brute it is meant to destroy, that one
realizes it is nevertheless none too
effective. The gun is never discharged
at a greater distance than fifty feet.
and seldom indeed at more than thirty
from the whale To be able to get so
near requires not only very fine sea-
manship, but very intimate know

TWO MARRYING TEACHERS.

There is a romantic story of one
couple in particular. They were in
troduced by a mutual friend on shore
as they stood at the rail when the
transport was pulling out, some ten
feet of San Francisco bay dividing
the lady who presented the pair from
the presentees. This Introduction,
however, though not the most formal,
evidently was very effective. They
became friends, and by the time the
shades of night had settled and the
mainland had faded from the horizon
it was evident that they had found in
each others company some consola-
tion for the hardship of leaving their
happy home to journey into a far
country.
The second day left them violently
in love, and on the third day the
young man led the blushing maiden to
the captain, with the request that the
twain be made one as fast as he (the
captain) could tie the knot. Capt
Buford, however, has had considera-
BILE experience and has observed with
some care the result of the moonlight
at sea, and he advised the young peo-
pie to wait until they arrived at Homo
lulu. This they unwiilingly did, but
it is said that the ceremony was per-
formed last night by local minister

Theory on Which he RENTED Fine
and Raised Salary.
II was slashing copy on old Stor-
ey's Chicago Times many years ago,
said one of the guests at a reunion
dinner, 1--WE had a correspondent in
an illinois town who simply would not
schedule his matter but as he general
ly sent good stuff we let him run on,
slashing his stuff to suit the exigen-
cies of the night. Besides, his stuff
always suggested good headlines, and
that was one Of Storey's hobbies.
ION one occasion the correspond
ent sent up about 700 words which
went into 100 with nothing over. On
the 100 words l constructed a head
line which was right up to the mark.
The next day was instructed to tell
the man who made out the checks for
the country correspondents to knock
IS of the correspondents pay.
when he received his check he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because
the fool headline over the item, made
by a fool telegraph editor, had infuri
ated the man whose name was men
toned in the dispatch and brought on
a fight between him and the cores
pondent, the result of which was that
the correspondent was fined SIS in the
police court.
"Mr. Storey was a very just man
when you got at him in the right way
He instructed the cashier to send the
correspondent the amount of the fine
and raised my salary because the
headline l wrote had caused a row.
That was his way of encouraging a

PROTEST AGAINST SALE.
Citizens Believe University Lands
Should be Held.


Missoula. Aug. 2O.-Tne following
protest is being circulated in Missoula
county and is receiving the signatures
of most OF the prominent business
men and property owners in the
county:
ITO the State Board of Land Com
missioners, Helena, Mont.-Gentle-
men: We. the undersigned. citizens OF
Missoula county. Montana, do hereby
earnestly and sincerely protest
against the sale at this time of any
lands belonging to the grant made to
the state university.
I'VE are informed and believe that
the university lands are worth much
more than their present appraised val
ue, and we think it would be unwise
to sell any of these lands, at least un-
til another appraisement has been
made. A sale at this time must of
necessity be made after only limited
advertisement, and we feel that un-
der such circumstances will not re-
dound to the best interests of the uni
versity or to the state"
The protest explains itself. The uni-
versity lands were among the first
selections made under the land grants
in this state, and they include some
of the very best land in the state
That this land is, in most instances,
worth more than the appraised value,
is accepted to be the fact by those who
are familiar with the situation. 1t is
the belief Of people in this section that
the interests Of the university de-
mand that these lands should not be
sold at the appraised valuation. This
opinion is very generally held. The
protest has been signed by Judge Hi.
ram Knowles, E. L. Bonner, Judge
F. H. Woody and many others.

KILLING THE BLUE WHALE.
How the Largest Animal in the World
is vanquished py Men.

is vanquished ny Men.
To pursue the blue whale success
fully a boat is required that can
steam IL knots an hour, and which
is furnished with formidable weap-
on known as the harpoon gun.
The harpoon gun is ponderous
piece of apparatus placed on a raised
platform on the prov of the whaler.
and consists of short, stout cannon,
on a broad pedestal, on which
it can rotate horizontally. The gun
has also a vertical motion, and can
be turned quickly in whatever direc-
ton the prov of the ship dominates.
On the top of the gun are sights"
for aiming, just as in rifle. Behind
is the stock, which is grasped in the
hand when firing the gun, and be.
meath is the trigger. The breech is
a box like arrangement. situated just
where the stock is fastened to the gun
proper. The gun is loaded in the Ordi
nary way from the muzzle. and the
harpoon is tightly rammed into it. To
discharge the gun. q small cartridge,
with q wire attached, is first put into
the breech. Pressure on the trigger
causes a pull ON the wire. which ig'
mites the cartridge and discharges the
gun simultaneously.

Rarely are old patents called for.
Possibly two or three a year are sent
out in response to communication
from the owner, who, probably in
tending to sell the land, lacks the pat
ent as the last missing link to his
chain of title.
There are a number of reasons
which can be assigned for this negli-
gence in calling for patents. A home
stead is not subject to taxation until
final proof is made, and the land re-
corded in the recorders Office of the
county in which the land is situated.
A number of years ago the county as
SCISSORS, in making out their assess
ment list, obtained lists of all lands re-
corded in the county from the record
ers' Offices. Thus the rancher thought
that if he did not obtain his final proof
mis- land would not ne recorded in the
county, and he would thus escape pay
ing taxes on it. At present, however.
and, in fact. for number of years.
this has been entirely changed. The
assessors throughout the state now
send to the federal land Offices and OBJ
tain lists of all taxable lands. Thus
no one is overlooked in making up the
assessment rolls.

JiMMY's PARACHUTE DROP.
Made With Two Umbrellas, but That
4' Didn't Keep Him From Coming
s Down..

Ambition to traverse the air led
James Stuart. ten-year old son of H.
l.. Stuart of Bellwood. to trust himself
in q foriy-foot flight to two umbrellas.
which he used in lieu of a parachute.
The performance was failure and
the boy is in bed, suffering from a
broken arm and nose and severe
bruises.
James never had read of Darius
Green and mis- disastrous attempt at
aerial navigation, but he had seen a
balloonist make a parachute drop, and
it looked easy. James even thought
he could improve on the professionals
methods, for while the man who
jumped from the balloon had to wait
Tor his parachute to open, the boy
opened his contrivance before the
leap was made. Two umbrellas were
the wings upon which the BellwOod
boy expected to soar through the air.
All the friends with whom he felt
that secret would be safe were in
vited to see the performance, and a
score of them were on hand at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, the ap-
pointed time.
Young Stuart led the way to tall
tree out of sight OF his fathers house,
At the foot of the ,ree ne had secreted
two umbrellas, selected for the pur-
pose from the stand in the front
hall. He climbed to the highest
branch that would support him, and
poised forty feet above the ground.
Then the boy opened the umbrellas.
Holding one in each hand, he jumped
as far as he could into the air. Both
umbrellas turned inside out the in
stant they caught the wind, and the
would-be parachute artist shot
through the air. He struck the outer
ends of several branches IN the fall,
breaking the force of the descent to
some extent.
James was unconscious when he
was picked up, and at first his COM
panions thought he had been killed.
One of the older boys set to work on
Stuart, and after time revived him.
He was carried home and Mrs. Stuart
put him to bed. A doctor was called
and said his injuries were not danger
Gus, but would keep him in bed for a
week or two.
The boy, who is of venturesome
disposition, has made himself famous
in BellwoOd through his perilous un.
dertakings. Not long ago. according to
his mother, he took a ride on "shoot
the chutes" of his own construction.
With the aid of companion he had
constructed an incline from the top
of barn to the ground. The car, a
soap box, slid swiftly along the greas.
ed track, and Stuart gave a loud
whoop to express the feeling of exhili.
ration which he experienced. At that
moment the car struck a projecting
nail and stopped. The occupant
travelled swiftly through space, miss.
ed the track in mis- fall and landed on
the ground. The only damage was :
