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
whale, which seemed to have been
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. 6.-Professor Metchni-
koff's new youth bacillus, based on
Pasteur's theory of the existence of
bene1tent as we'll as of injurious mi
crobes, continues to excite half der-
siye interest in the scientific world.
Metchnkoff is Indifferent to this feel
ing. He is certain he has discovered
the long sought secret of indefinite
longevity. In 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 pernicious mi
crobes. In this way we arrest the
gradual putrefaction of our bodies.
Il prefer for my solution special
kind of coagulated milk, but it is hard
to obtain. 4 substitute consists of or
binary milk boiled and skinned. To
this is added quantity of my Bull
garian bacilli, Astounding throughout
the Balkans. The taste is agreeable,
but sugar may be added to suit partc-
ular palates Two bowls at a tempera-
ture of y degrees should be taken
daily II taken regularly many years
may be added To ones life, while the
remedy Is also an almost certain cure
for dyspepsia and anemla."
