the solder on the implements around
the furnace is melted at times, and al
though the caldron of oil would eX-
plode III case a sudden lurch of the
ship should permit wave TO wash
into the boiling blubber, accidents are
rare.
When an accident does happen, as
when a sudden shower comes down
in the tropics and scatters the bub-
bling contents of the caldron, the ship
may be ahre from end to end before
the crew can even lower their boats;
for the blubber no sooner bubbles
from the caldron before the fires of
the furnace catch it. and as a whaler
is permeated with oil, the decks are
swept by flame as if petroleum or
naphtha had exploded
Some of the most terrible tragedies
of American and British marine his
tory are those through which whalers
have passed when their ships took fire
in mid-ocean, giving them just enough
time TO GET into boats without scrap
of food or a drop of water

~ PRACTICALLY all the Arctic
- sea mammals have layer Of
! blubber under their skins; it
varies i'll thickness, from one
inch in small creatures TO twenty-five
inches i'll right whales.
Whale blubber is tough and elastic,
SO that chains passed through and
under the blubber will generally hold
whale alongside'of ship during the
process of cutting in"
The color of good, healthy blubber
is yellowish to dirty white, and a
peculiar pinkish tint seems to suffuse
it. Young whales have blubber that
is almost milk white.
Cutting in" whale is d decidedly
difficult piece of work, that has been
defined as fine example of ingenious
marine engineering. The whale is
held to the side Of the ship by I'M
mense chains that pass to tackles high
up on the thick masts. As the men,
who climb down and stand on the
whale, cut into the blubber, the
tackles haul until they turn the whale,
very slowly. thus helping the men by
practically peeling the blubber off as
one would peel an apple.
The men are armed with weapons
that look exactly like spades. The
edges of these are kept keen by a
grinder, who is busy the whole time
sharpening the tools while the whale
is being peeled.
The blubber is cut in strips five or
six feet wide and twelve or fifteen feet
long, and as soon as such a piece has
been loosened sufficiently, a hook is
passed into it and the mass Is hauled
on deck
There the ''leaners" cut away the
pieces OF muscles that cling to it, and
with chopping spades they cut the
strip into what they call horse
pieces" which are two feet long and
six inches wide.
These are taken by other members
of the crew who act as mincers. The
strips are laid on a "mincing horse,
and are chopped into small slices that
are held together at the bottom by a
piece of skin which is left uncut. So
that the blubber piece opens out like
book
In this condition it IS thrown into the
try pots.
These are immense iron caldrons
set in brick work, which i built upon
every whaler when the whaling has
been we'll begun. Fierce wood fires
are kept burning under them, and
every little while the flames are fed
by pieces of whale fat
1t is wonderful sight to see a
whaler at night with the tryworks GO
ing. The ship rolls in the sea with a
great, rudy pillar of mingled smoke
and fire mounting higher than the
maStS.
There is always great danger in
this trying out. but the whalers are
singularly skilful in handling their
fires. Although they are SO hot that

NA/ his famous journey, during
Wv which he discovered what

Land of Ophir of the Bible, he had
some thrilling adventures with lions
and leopards.
lie tells this story about one of
these encounters:
"A negro came into camp and re-
ported that three lions had been seen
entering a thicket near the river. My
companion, Blocker, and | took our
stations near it, he being posted down
the river and ] taking my position
near great tree.
The blacks circled the thicket with
bowls and .yells and fired shots into it.
Almost immediately the bushes parted
and with tremendous, laundering
roar a magnificent lion bounded out.
He came galloping straight toward the
tree and | fired without having the OPP
portunity TO take careful aim.
My shot was a clean miss. / pre-
pared TO give him the second shot out
of my double-barreled rifle and waited
in order to get good chance. But he
changed his tactics at the same mo-
ment that l gave him my first shot,
and sprang at me.
-Four blacks stood between me and
the beast at this moment, they having
rushed into the way at the critical mo-
ment. Hardly had they appeared in
his line of approach, before they were
down, struck low by the terrible fore
paws, with which ne swept through
them like reaper using scythe.
Barely had they gone down before
he leaped straight to my side and fell
on a fifth negro. who had stepped
from behind the tree. He pulled the
man to the ground, ripped his talonS
into the body, seized his victim by the
shoulder with his mighty teeth and
shook him as if he were a mouse.
Il sprang aside far enough TO get
into line TO shoot; the lion was only
three feet from me now. At this short
range | sent my second bullet into
him. / had 10 aim a bit too high, as
| feared TO hit the man under him.
At the same time dared not aim high
enough to smash his backbone. as |
feared that might miss owing to the
frantic motions of The furious beast.
AS soon as ! struck him, the lion
dropped his prey and turned at me.
| For a moment we stood face to face.
He looked at me with his eyes green
with rage. At this moment | saw,
from the corner of my eye, that my
gun bearer was running away and with
him went my cartridges. l dubbed
my empty gun on the instant, to tight
for my life, but little expecting to
save il.
The lion crouched. roared and tell
IN his tracks. Before | realized it, he
crawled toward the high grass and
disappeared in it,
"He was dying, and little later We
found his bodysonly a few feet away
but dying as he was. he still managed
TO cripple another negro for life; for
as he crept into the grass, one of the
heaters ran directly into him, and with
one blow Of his paw he tore the man,
left hip clean off"

to see forty sacks of bank
notes taken below and fed to the fur
naces when the engineer got up steam

The half-naked stokers poking mil

they had been handling shavings were,
indeed, curious sight, and even when
it was explained that the novel kind

In the Bank of England a million

WESTON

Leader: George Taylor, Weston
mountain farmer who is interested in the
rural telephone line, was engaged Satur-
day in working on improvements to the
system when a ladder fell upon him,
knocking him unconscious. No i'll eff
fects followed, however, and he was
able to resume work on Monday.
Charles H. Taylor will farmer be,
having leased the Turner place on the
foothills east of Weston. Mr.. Taylor
hopes that the outdoor activities OF
farm life will be just the thing to restore
his health, which has suffered from con-
finement in the mercantile business.
Mrs. Agnes Moore, aged 70 years,
died Tuesday morning, March ~, 1904,
at the home of her nephew, Allan Gar
nett, after long illness. Pneumonia
was the immediate cause of death. Mrs.
Moore was native of England, and
came to America in 1889. In 1890 she
moved to Weston, where she had SINCE
resided with her nephew.
Extra posts will soon be placed in
position along the Weston mountain
telephone line for the purpose of sup
porting another wire, the posts being
too far apart at present. One wire will
then be used for business communica-
tions and the other for the ''rubbering"
and gossip which the patrons find so
interesting.
Nick Taitenger, an extensive reserva-
ton farmer near Adams, was in town
this week, consulting Weston's real
estate men, Powers & Ridenour. Mr..
Taitenger is preparing to dispose of his
reservation interests and move to the
Alberta country, where on a recent visit
he purchased two sections of land at ST
per acre.
Ground in the Weston neighborhood
has received a more thorough soaking
than ever known before in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. During the
last freshet water ran off the ground sc
freely that Weston streets were nearly
flooded Out on the foothills, three
miles from town, Dick Powers reports
that water flows from the top of bott
his wells, and every squirrel hole is 6
spring. The other day he turned a rocl
over and a spring gushed forth from be
meath it. 1t will be remembered tha
Moses smote rock in the wilderness
to provide water for the thirsty tribes o
Isreal. Mr.. Powers seems to .hav'
somewhat the advantage of this grea
man Of old.

A new FEED PLANT
TEOsINTE PROVES TO BE 4
DR0UTH REsIsTER.
Stools in a Wonderful Manner, One
Seed Sending Up as Much as
100 Plants in a Season. !

The farmers of Eastern Yakima valley
have discovered valuable forage plant
which promises greater returns than any
cultivated crop tested. 1t is teosinte.
Experiments conducted by different men
show that the plant will produce at least
60 tons Of green food per acre.
1t grows to the height of 10 to IL feet,
and has two crops annually. The plant
is we'll adapted to Western Washington,
and will prove money maker to dairy
men and stock feeders. Under the irri-
eating farming it is wonder in the pro-
duction of feed.
Teosinte belongs to the corn family.
1t was introduced from the rich river
bottoms of South America. The stems
contain about 10 per cent sugar and are
relished by all kinds of stock. Seed
can not be grown in the northern states.
In the south the crop is one of the most
profitable that can be planted.
The Louisiana experiment station has
produced 80 tons of green feed per acre.
This is readily purchased by dairymen
for 50 ton, in the field. When crop
requiring no more laber than corn yields
800 an acre in the field it is worth
growing.
The greatest value Of teosinte is it's
stooling qualities. One seed will pro-
duce from 80 to 100 plants in season.
This can be cut with moving machine
or harvester and fed green or put in the
barn for winter.
A Kentucky grower says that on bis
farm one seed produced 1l3 sprouts
Prof. Asa Gray, well known agticul'
tural authority, states that this plant
"possibly affords an opportunity for one
to make millions of blades of grass
where none of any account grew before. )"
He has reference to the dry lands, as
teosinte is great drouth resister.
Three pounds Of seed will plant ar
acre in teosinte. The soil should be ir
good condition, and rich loan to pro
duce the best results.
II planted in rows two feet apart, ano
the plants left to stand similar distance
in the rows, it will give the best crops Of
forage.
Cultivation is the same as for corn
When the first crop attains height o
about four or five feet it may be cut ant
the second crop left to grow. In th'
rich bottoms of the Puget Sound basiI
two crops ought to yield so tons or mor'
of green feed per acre.
Teosinte is valuable hog feed. Th'
green stalks are devoured as quickly a
corn. Cows eat it with relish. Th,
long green blades quickly cure and cal
be stored away in the barn or shed with
out danger of spelling.
When the last crop is cut the remain
ing young sprouts furnish excellen
pasture for hogs and cows. The plan
Is an annual forage crop and require
practically the same treatment as othe
cultivated folders. Seed can be ha
at probably rs cents per pound.
