In former times the appearance Of q

in his Diary" under the date of June
3, 1853 mentions that Whale was
killed off Greenwich and that it drew
an 'infDite concourse to see it by wa
ter, horse, coach and on foot from Lon
don and all parts" According to Rob-
ert Hubert. in his Catalogue of Nat
ural Rarities," the tongue of this whale
was exhibited daily for some time at
the "Miter. near the West end Of St
Pauls church"
In February, 1857, another whale
was caught in the Thames, and in the

SEVERAL of the papers of Wisconsin
have attacked Hon. Neal Brown, of this
city, because he went to Madison ard
worked against the passage of the Rail-
road Rate Commission bill, ques-
tioning ais motives for so doing.
They may know all about the matter,
but the PILoT is constrained TO think
that they do not, and further thinks
that the attacks upon him are uncalled
for and instigated by those who would
rather see him going down than
ascending the ladder of fame. Whether
the PILor does or does not believes in
the bill mentioned makes no difference
but true it is that a large majority OF
the lumbermen and business men IN
the valley were against the bill and II
was for them that Neal Brown went to
Madison.

Terne.

It is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained by the general
public concerning the true meaning OF
many terms in general use. striking
example Of this is the word "terne" as
applied to tin plate. Usually it is I'M
derstood that this word is derived from
the French one, meaning dull" This
is totally incorrect. Terne plate is a
sheet or plate of iron and ste3l covered
with an alloy # tin and lead in the pro-
portion of twI birds lead and one-third
tin. 1t is this union of the three met
als-iron, lead and tin-that gave rise
to the word terne plate. terne being an
equivalent to the English terne, mean
ing ..threefold." The origin of the err
roneous definition of this term was the
fact that because of the large percent
age of lead used in coating terne plates
it is duller in hue than the ordinary tin
plate, which is frequently designated
bright plate" in contradistinction to

The Ere Gods wrath.

q curious story comes TO us from the
suburbs. A resident in the near neigh
borhood of London has museum in
his house in which the principal Curl
osity is fire god which has Eeen wor-
SHIPPED for many centuries in an Indian
temple. Once when the owner of the
house took a party of people to look at
the museum he proposed in fun that
they should all kotow to the image.
This they all laughingly consented to
do. all except two ladies. who declared
it was wicked. The fire god was re-
venged within two months. One or the
ladies had her house burned to the
ground the week after. and the other
one on a later date fen backward into
the fire and sustained some terrible
burns. We give the tale without COM
ment.-London Chronicle.

Scientists tell US that, counting from
the sea level, the lowest body of water
on the globe Is the Caspian sea. For
centuries its surface has been gradu-
ally settling down until now 1t is eigh-
ty-five feet lower than that Of its near
neighbor, the Black sea. which also lies
far below the level of the oceans. The
common conclusion all along has been
chat the Caspian was simply losing It's
waters by evaporation, but recent in
vestigation shows that this is not the
case. Soundings made and compared
with records of soundings made over
100 years ago reveal the astounding
fact that there is even a greater depth
of water now than then. This leaves
but one hypothesis that would seem at
all tenable-that the bottom Of the sea
is actually sinking. There Is much
speculation in scientific circles as to
what will be the final outcome.

IT will be some time before the
women of Wisconsin will enjoy tie
rights of suffrage if the question is to
be settled by republican legislature.
The O'Neil bill to submit the question

the senate-l5 to 70. Those who voted
against the measure did so because they
thought the grant of suffrage would be
an injury to woman and to the home.
which they considered the true place
fer the mother of a family. Those
sentiments are false ones, which the
Senators will find out to their sorrow
when they reach home. They have
been away so long from their family

goo-goo eyes at the pretty girls, that II
is no wonder they think the proper
place for the wife is at home taking
care of the children. a good calling

take those lofty ideas out of their heads.

Cheese.

Cheeses come under three general
heads. whole milk, skim or sour milk
and whole milk and cream. The ripen-
ing of cheese, upon which depends its
flavor. is due to the action of bacteria,
which are ever present in milk; also In
the rennet which is used in the manu-
facture. Cheese which has been i'm
properly handled is apt to accumulate
deIeterious bacteria. Cheese has great
nutritive value Ii yields nearly three
