BARK STRIKES A WHALE.
TACOMA, Oct 6.-The German bark
Alderberan, which just arrived here
from Antwerp. struck a mammoth
whale twelve miles off Cape Flattery.
The vessel was in tow of the tug Lorne
at the time. No one had noticed the
either blowing its way Just beneath
the surface, or else making a sudden
rise TO blow. The force of the shock
was so great that the crew thought
the vessel had struck a rock, and came
tumbling out of the forecastle. Some
of the sailors began sliding down the
towline to the tug. The impact sent
| the vessel ON her beam, and some time
+. elapsed before the panic subsidized. The
whale appeared badly injured and ca
reened around the tug and ship as if
dazed or angry. Finally it dived and
was seen no more.
| THE BACILLUS OF YOUTH.
| PARIS, Oct. professor Metchni-
koff's new youth bacillus, based on
Pasteur's theory Of the existence of
beIief1cent as well as of-fnjurious mi
crobes, continues to excite half deri-
sive interest in the scientific world
Metchnikoff is Indifferent to this feel
ing. He is certain he has discovered
the long sought secret of indefinite
, longevity. In a statement today he
said:
Thus far we have simply declared
that this remedy destroys what we
might call the intestinal flora which are
VIGOROUSLY abundant in pernieious mi
crobes. In this way we arrest the
gradual putrefaction of our bodies.
I prefer for my solution a special
kind of coagulated milk, but it is hard
to obtain. A substitute consists of or
binary milk boiled and skinned. To
this is added a quantity of my Bull
garian bacilli, Astounding throughout
the Balkans. The taste is agreeable,
but sugar may be added to suit partic-
ular palates. Two bowls at tempera-
ture of 72 degrees should be taken
daily. If taken regularly many years
may be added to ones life, while the
remedy is also an almost certain cure
for dyspepsia and anemia."
EGYPTIAN PRINCE IN AMERICA.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Prince Aziz
Hassan first cousin of the Khedive of
Egypt, arrived today on the Hamburg
American liner Princess Irene. He will
go Immediately to ST. Louis for the ex-
position.
The Prince is portly, fair and ex-
fused to say anything about the condi-
ton of European politics, but said good
naturally whenever asked for an ex-
preston of opinion about American
women: 81 like them, yes, very much,
and 1 am sorry my stay in this coun-
try will not be long. I am not here
for fortune
Prince Hassan looks more like a Ger
man than an Egyptian He wears
mustache like Emperor William. After
a visit to the fair the Prince will go
to San Francisco and then ship for the
seat of war.
But all for fun he says. II am not
looking for trouble
