Hugh? Coming back?"
Pearl was between them on the rug, heels

He handed her the letter over the two, and
she read it through slowly.

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creature Said to Exist in
Alaskan Waters.
From FoI est and Stream.

From 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 Seymour canal and our imme-
date vicinity. There are large numbers 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 SoCn in order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to make
three blows at intervals of from two 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 whale s right side and just about where
his head would connect with the body a
great, long tail or fin, Judged by five fish
ermen and a number of Indians after SEQ

to submerge itself before the blows came.
the spray would fly for distance of a hun

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 cluh
would follow right along by it's side and de-
liver those tremendous blows at intervals
OF about four or five seconds 1t would al
ways get in from three to five blows at
each of the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The whale
would generally rid itself of the enemy

Fruit Grating From Tree to Tree.

From Public Opinion
The grating of fruit trees has today
become such a common operation that
there is no need to present the ordinary
methods, but what is less we'll known is
that one may take young fruits of certain
species and graft them on the branches of
other trees La Nature, Paris. publishes a
photograph showing how pear of one va
riety was grated on a branch not its par
emit The bark was slit at the end of a
branch and into this slit the stem of the
fruit was inserted, the fruit ripening as
though it had never been disturbed from
the original place of growth. This method
seems to open up a wide field as well from
the scientific from the practical point
of view. 1t is easy to see all the advan-
tage that could be derived from the
method for the purpose of transporting
fruits from trees too heavily loaded to
those which have few fruits upon them.

BEHIND ON THEIR CONTRACT.
Makers Unable to Deliver New Organ

The officials of st. Paul's NJ. E.

builders for the installation of a new
pipe organ in the church here by
September list, have been advised by
the manufacturers that it will be i'm
possible for them to have the organ
here during the present month, and
in consequence great disappointment
is being experienced by the church
goers and officers of the congregation.
The instrument purchased by the
board of stewards is to be built upon
modern lines, rich in tone and fin
ished to correspond with the interior
of the church edifice. 1t will be
placed back of the pulpit without
the necessity of making any altera-
tions to the building.
