WHALES AS THEY DIVE.
Something About the Habits Of the
ocean Monsters.

ocean Monsters.
Both whalers and naturalists have
usually held that when whales sound"
they descend to great depths, says
Knowledge. One writer on the subject
estimates that the larger members of
the group dive fully a thousand yards.
In u memoir published in Belgium DR..
Racovitza challenges this belief and
states that In his opinion 100 yards Is
the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit
Says the writer:
Why should whales want to 60 to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food, and in the
profound darkness Of 1000 yards what
food could they get7 Those species
which feed on unimalcules might, per.
haps, obtain what they want. But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At depth Of 1000 yards,
they certainly could not use their eyes
to detect mountainous species, and we
have no evidence whatever that they
feed on the self luminous deep sea fish
and cuttles, II. indeed, there be any of
the latter. On the contrary, the available
evidence indicates that they feed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut.

zones. But this Is not all. 1t Is known
that the effects Of pressure of more
than three atmospheres prove fatal to
human life; and, although we may be.
lieve that whales can stand treble this
pressure. or nine utmospheres. which
would occur at about ninety yards
depth. is It conceivable that they could
resist the effect Of ten times the latter
pressure. or ninety atmospheres? More.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1903.
BENJAMIN AS AN EDUCATOR.

Governor Jennings is accused b,
the DeLand Record of having
fought on the Federal side during
the war. He must have belonged
to the "infantry," but instead OF
carrying arms the position was
reversed.-St. Augustine Record
The editor of the st. Augustine
Record is evidently catching on to
the political gyrations of "Ben
Bolt" who is liable to say anything
that he thinks will be copied by
the state press. Prevatt probably
does not know that the war was
fit 40 years ago, and that Jennings
was only few years of age at the
time. Ben Bolt, who is an ex-
school teacher, should refresh his
memory on these deep historical
questions. By the way, some Vo.
lusia county man-we think it was
Colonel U. Nj. Bennett or DR.. Tan
ner--tells an amusing story about
Ben Bolts examination experiences.
According to the story, Prevatt was
being examined as teacher in the
public schools The superinten.
dent, who was conducting the ex
animation in spelling, announced
that he would give out 100 Words
when one of them was spelled
properly the examinee would be
given ten, and when word was
missed ten points would be taken
of. At the conclusion of the ex.
animation Prevatt was found to be
800 points Tin the hole"-but as he
was useful on election boards, it {
vas decided to give him certificate
anyway.
The News will not vouch for $
he story. 1t is related only as {
old the writer. 1t shows, however, I
'ne reason why Prevatt takes such r
trenuous. interest in educational !.

"good," and purer politics will be
the result. That Tammany was
corrupt until Low was elected, there
is no question. 1t does all parties
a power of good to defeat them on
occasion-it puri6es them. But
one set of men is as liable to become
corrupt as another. Tammany was
corrupt and was defeated by its
friends for its own good. After
the severe chastizing, the American
people took Tammany to its bosom
again-and will keep her there 80
long as she is an obedient child.

HOME OF CASHMERE sHAwLs.
Melancholy Decline of Once Flourish
ing Industry.

From the New York Tribune.
A New Yorker who is now living in Shad-
ipore, India, In the vale of Cashmere. the
home of the beautiful Cashmere shawl,
gives a melancholy account of the decline
of a great and famous industry These
rare and costly shawls, which were so
much priced in the days of our grandmoth-
ers and handed down as heirlooms from
mother to daughter, are still made In Cash
mere, but their glory has departed, and the
cheap and seductive aniline dye has dis
placed the soft and beautiful colorings in
the old-time vegetable dyes. The men who
understand their manipulation have gone
to more lucrative fields, else they lie in
humble graveyards hard by the struggling
village streets, and the wild iris clothes
their resting places with colors far more
delicate than any they ever mixed.
The Cashmere shawl industry received it's
death blow during the Franco Prussian
war. at the breaking up of the French
court The ShawlS were brought to France
for the great Napoleon, and fashion imme-
diately set her seal upon them. But when
the court of Napoleon III crumbled in the
dust the vogue of the Cashmere shawl fell
with it, and famine and distress invaded
the faraway valleys of Cashmere. Shadi-
pore, which was once one of the centers of
the Cashmere shawl industry, is beauti-
fully located in valley at the junction of
the Sind and Jhelum rivers. Numerous
herds of cattle find rich pasturage on the
surrounding hills, and the giant chenar, the
glory of Cashmere, makes the valley look
like park. But the village has shrunk to
a mere hamlet of rickety houses, and the
luxuyiant vegetation fails to cover it's bare
ness and poverty. What is left of the shawl
industry is carried on by boys and men,
who earn from two to eight annas a day,
or from to cents in American coinage.
For this beggarly sum they sit all day long
at the looms which are almost as forlorn
as themselves in appearance, for they date
back to the days of prosperity. and are held
together by generous use of string.
There is just enough demand for the
shawls to keep the industry alive. Rich
Cashmerians like to wear Cashmere shawls,
and also employ them as draperies and
few find their way to central Asia and
Thibet.
