Pleasant Cold-weather story.

Oscar Willie, of lie Sueur, Mimi. met with a
most remarkable accident this morning that
very nearly cost him his life. With his rifle
of a cat he desired to shoot, when the animal
ran up into the framework supporting the water
tank.
Standing directly beneath the cat, Willie shot
straight up at it, carelessly forgetting the fact
that the tank was within range.
The bullet killed the cat and pierced the bot
tom of the tank and in instant the water,
gushing out, surrounded Mr.. Willie with a COM
plete shower bath, in a temperature of IS degrees
below zero.
Instantly his overshoes froze TO the stone
foundation on which he was standing and, stoop-
ing to unbuckle them, he was changed by the
spray freezing in the terrible cold fast as it
fell, into helpless statue of ice, stiff and i'm
movable a stone Only by his STOPPING pos
ture, which kept his face free from the ice, was
he saved from suffocation
Soon the flow OF the water stopped by
the sediment in the tank flowing into the bullet
hole and a little of Mr.. Willie. who had
seen the whole affair, for assistance. 1t was
necessary to loosen the unfortunate mans feet
with chises and when he had been carried into
the house by three strong the ice had to
be broken from him with clubs
He badly frightened by the experience,
but otherwise unframed

The secret Of the inexhaustibe fertility Of the
Nile valley which has long been credited to the
annual deposit of silt from the overlooking of the
river, has been discovered by Mr.. Fairchild,
agricultural explorer of the United States gov
eminent, to be the nitrifying power of the plant
berseem. Berseem is species of Trifoliun.
which has the power not only to consume saline
and alkaline properties in the land, but also
TO enrich it with nitrates. Something of a COM
poste of alfalfa and clover, it is in every way
delicate in flavor and succulent than either
In Egypt it is the food of horses, camels cat
tie and donkeys. Even the peasants, or fella-
heen, find il a palatable dish. 1t is remarkably
fattening, and chokes out nearly all weeds. Mr..
Fairchild in the Nile delta visited basins Of
alkaline lands that had been thoroughly re-
claimed by growing berseem there. He saw
cattle and horses grazing on luxurious fields Of
berseem-felds that two years before were, he
says, las barren of vegetation bathing
beach," Furthermore, the roots of berseem
stored such a vast amount of nitrogen in the
soil reclaimed that on the third year the land

planted after danger of frost be passed and
harvested before the heated term, it will be
tried in rotation with wheat.-New York Press.

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creature Said to Exist i'm
Alaskan Waters.

Forest and Stream.
While operating a fishery in Admiralty
island, Alaska, last summer, my attention
and the attention of the fishing crew was
almost daily attracted to a large marine
creature that would appear in the main
channel of the Seymour canal and our i'm
mediate vicinity. There are large num-
bers of whales of the species rorqual, there,
and the monster seemed TO be their natural
enemy The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface to blow
one would be singled out and attacked by
the fish and a battle was soon in order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual TO make
three blows at intervals Of from one to
three minutes each, and then sound deep
and stay beneath the surface for thirty or
forty minutes. AS a whale would come to
the surface there would appear always at
the whales right side and just about where
his head would connect with the body, a

The great club was used on the back Of
the unfortunate whale in such a manner
that il was a wonder TO me that every
whale attacked was not instantly killed. Its
operator seemed to have perfect control Of
its movements and would bend IL back till
the end would touch the water, forming a
horseshoe loop, then with sweep it would
be Strengthened and brought over and down
on the back OF the whale with a whack
that could be heard for several miles. II the
whale was fortunate to Submerge it's body
before the blows came. the spray would fly
for a distance of a hundred feet from tho
efrect OF the strike. making a report as
loud as a yachts signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable TO me was
that no matter which way the attacked
whale went. or how fast (the usual speed
is about fourteen knots). that great club
would follow right alon1 by its side and
deliver those tremendous blows at intervals
OF about four or five seconds. IL would al

Last Mondays announcement OF John ID.

each one occasionally, perhaps three or four
times year, except in the case OF the most

TRYING TO DEFEAT THE CANAL.

A dispatch from New York SAYS that
General Reyes, the newly-elected President
of Colombia will sail for Paris TODAY TO
look after Colombian interests in connection
with the Panama canal. A few weeks ago
when he left Washington, ostei,sibly to
return home, it was given out that his pres
ence was imperatively demanded in Colom-
bia. 1t seems that after a period OF refec-
ton he has changed his mind.
AS to the object of his present mission
General Reyes says he thinks it his duty
to be present in Paris when the question
of the sale of rights of the Panama Canal
Company to the United States comes before
the proper French tribunal. ITO me-" he
says, the matter is very clear. The Pam
anna Canal Company cannot transfer it's
rights to the United States without the con-
sent of Colombia, because it's contract en-
tered into with Colombia cannot automatic
cally transfer itself to Panama province.
The province cannot substitute itself for
Colombia"
From this it appears that General Reyes $
object in going to Paris is to try and defeat
the treaty between the United States and
Panama for the construction of the canal.
The treaty. among other things, authorizes
the Panama Canal Company to sell and
transfer its rights and concessions TO the
United States. General Reyes's contention
is that when Panama seeded from the old
Colombian federation it left behind the
ownership and control of the canal route.
and that the concessions originally made
TO the canal company by Colombia revert
ed 10 Colombia. In other words, he con-
tends that an agreement between the new
Panama government and the canal COM
pany to transfer the concessions and rights
OF the company to the United States is of
no legal effect without the consent of
Colombia. He forgets that when Panama
dissolved partnership with Colombia she
became sole owner OF the isthmus and had
the same right TO make contracts and
treaties and grant concessions regarding
the canal route that Colombia formerly had.
