Catching Whales in Nets.
From the Chicago News


Whales are captured in nets by the Jap
anese. The whalers put off from the shore
as quietly as possible. and when they come
within the proper distance of their object
i've the boats. which have hitherto worked
in couples. separate and. dropping their
nets as they go. work round to the rear
and tanks Of their expected kill. The nets
are made in large squares, each side being
about forty feet long. One net is composed
of six squares In line and the squares are
fastened to each other lightly. When all
is ready the boats, which have worked
round to the rear of the whale then COM
mence to drive him gently toward the nets
Moving along lazily at first, the whale soon
realizes that something untoward Is hap
penfng, and, hurrying forward. dashes
onto one of the nets This is the critical
moment, and when the fishermen see that
the whale Is well in the center OF one of
the squares they raise a great shout and
charge in upon him.
When the whale is about spent man
chosen for his strength, activity, pluck.
GOODNESS and general fitness for his work
then leaps upon his back and with great
triangular-shaped knife proceeds to cut
two great gashes in his body Just back of
his head. Through the underlying bubber
and these two gashes he passes rope and
,knotting 1t, makes a loop of it. He then
repeats the same operation as far back on
the body as he can. When the fight has
been completely knocked out of the whale
boats range alongside of him and by the
help of the loops already mentioned the
hapless cetacean is slung between them
in such a manner as to minimize the danger
of his carcass sinking.
Then the boats form in procession, and
making for the shore, there commences the
most curious part of the whole affair The
whalers, with real fervor and in the most
solemn manner possible. begin a chanting
prayer for the ease of the departing spirit
by calling out, "Joraku! Joraku! Joraku,"
in low, deep tones. Upon the third day
after the kill memorial service is held in
the village temple and prayers are offered
for the repoSe of the dead whales soul.

TONIC AIR OF AMERICA.
One Reason Why We Have Best
Weather Service in the World.

From the Century.
When the amazed European asks us what
makes the sluggish mind of the Immigrant

then to climb, at first hesitatingly, but soon
with vigor and confidence. to the top round
in the ladder of success, we are accustom-
ed to reply, ITS in the air." and We are
right. The spirit which fired our fathers
To cross the wide Atlantic. and which in
less or equal degree still anfmates the
thousands annually seeking our shores. is
fed and famed by the cold winds from the
northwest.
The cold wave is born In the heavens
miles above our heads usually over the
Rocky Mountain plateau. Suddenly mass
of bitterly cold air will tumble down upon
Montana. 1t rushes down as though pour
ed through an enormous funnel. AS 1t fails
1t gains momentum, and, reaching the
earth, spreads over the Mississippi valley
and then over the Atlantic states, covering
them like a blanket 1t scatters the foul,
loggy, breath-soaked atmosphere in our
towns and cities and puts ginger into the
air. We fill our lungs with 1t and live. New
waves are always coming. following each
other In regular procession like the waves
on a SeashOre.
1t Is fitting, then, that meteorology. the
science of the weather. should be a dis
tinctly American product, and that the
people of the United States should have
United States government spends 81, 500. 900
a year on its weather bureau, which is more
money than all the governments Of Europe
combined spend for similar service. 1t has
staff of many hundred skilled experts
and trained observers who. in all parts OF
the country, are constantly on the watch
to see what the heavens will bring forth.
We Americans are always talking about
our mountains Of gold and coal and iron, OF
our fat fields Of corn and wheat. but few
OF US ever realize that we have in our cIi-
mate a great advantage over all other ma

and sends the thermometer tumbling 80 de-
grees in almost as many minutes we have
constant, a never diminishing asset or
priceless value. The wave acts as a tonic.
but. unlike any tonic made by man, 1t car
ries no reaction. No other land has cold
waves like ours. To the cold, dry air OF
this periodic cold wave. which brings ex-
traordinary changes of temperature we owe

SAINT. unremitting energy Of our American

Have Real Pearls; Wear False Ones.


A Paris jeweler tells the World CORE
spondant that great ladies of French So
ciety feel themselves forced to wear i'm
mense chains and collars of pearls to save
themselves from being outshone by rich
Americans, who introduced the fashion.
only the pearls are almost always false
though mounted and strung with the most
costly real materials. On the correspond
ent remarking that such a sham was dis
graceful. the jeweier said none of the
famous American jeweled collars and cor
sages that astonish on transatlantics and
procure them invitations to the most ex-
elusive salons and fetes Is genuine, the sole
difference being that Americans have real
pearls, but in their banks at home, while
their French copyists can't afford any but
the imitation.
Americans" he continued, "have a gem
uine love for splendid jewelry, but are in
variably afraid to wear them. l know, be-
cause they come to me by scores for repairs
and notifications"

ANCIENT LONDON.
An Interesting Relic of the Fourteenth

From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
All Hallows in the Wall is one of the
London city churches which have a special

The church itself. however, Is not thing

of it. for in his Survey he merely mentions
the fact that the church is called "Allhal-
loves in the Wall of standing close to the
Wall of the Cite" After mentioning some
monuments of his own period, and the fact
that the bounds of the parish contain no
great extent of ground, and are 'needlesse
to be spoken off, he ends his brief account
by recording the fact that Mr.. Andrew
Geneway. the parson. used him there very
kindly" The New View of London 070O
says that the church was of the Gothic and
Tuscan orders and, mot having been con-
sumed by the late Fire. is not SO beautiful

was nearly two hours finding accommoda-
lions for his men last night after the ar
rival of their train. He finally took quar-
tiers temporarily at the Hotel Great Cen
trail, near Paddngton station.
After their voyage, long train journey
and their first experience here the Amerf-
can players were hardly In fit condition
to start In playing yesterday, but when
they found they had been drawn in lot
of matches they acquiesced with great
grace.
Wright Wins Match.
Beals c. Wright was first of the Ameri-
can team to try the courts. he being
matched against H. Pollard In the open
singles. Mr. Wright won easily by score
Clothier and Holcombe Ward, who sat on
the steps of the club house and looked on
the field soon gravitated to where their
team mate was playing.
By the time Mr. Ward started in to play
in the open singles with H Parker OF New
Zealand, who had won a match Monday,
the number Of spectators had greatly in
creased. 1t was just after tea hour, or
about o'clock. many women being on the
club house steps and on seats on the side
line.
1t was we'll known, apparently that Mr..
Ward was the American amateur champion,
for soon nearly the whole field Of specta-
tors was devoting it's attention to this par
ticuIar match. Mr.. Parker proved no dan
gerous competitor for the American. whose
playing evoked almost continuous express
sions of admiration from his opponent.
The colonial won the first game, as Mr..
Wards lack of practice frequently showed
Its effects. The American, however, won
three straight games in the first set Mr..
Parker won the fourth and fifth, but Mr..
Ward again gained three In succession. and
so the first set was the Americans by
score OF C.
Wards Sportsmanship.
Ward started the second set with four
straight games. He was gradually getting
better control over his nerves in this set.
His sense OF fair play won the admiration
of the spectators The ball returned by Mr..
Parker struck the neighborhood Of Mr..
Wards back line. and the umpire called It
outside. Mr.. Ward however, returned the
serve and lost the point. explaining to the
umpire that the ball had struck inside the
line. However. Mr.. Ward won this set by
G-3, and the third set by the same score as
the first Mr.. C1othier in the open singles
defeated 8. N Doust
Mr.. Larned and Clothier won In level
doubles against Messrs. Frost and Hunter.
Messrs. Ward and Wright were defeated in
the handicap doubles by Messrs Hall and
Tfmmis. the Americans being heavily handi-
capped.

GENERAL GRANT.

Another birthday anniversary of
General Grant has gone by. 1t was
celebrated in few places. 1t would
be celebrated everywhere through
out except that the war in which he
became illustrious was civil war,
and the battles he won were against
Americans. But he was marvellous
soldier all the same. When military
men go to Vicksburg and examine
that field, they ever after speak with
reverence of General Grant. Even
General Sherman believed that the
tast was impossible, at least on the
lines marked Vi by Grant. Among
soldiers he has the wonderful dis
tinetion of being a soldier that ever
struck an enemy that he did not
either destroy or capture, and was
never defeated. Often the enemy
believed he was defeated, but next
morning he was there, his face to
the enemy could never shake him off
or escape him. Both he and Sher-
man were living examples of the
mistake of DIR. Ostler. At forty
they had tried and both were failures
until the great war brought their
opportunity.
By the way it will be twenty years
in July since General Grant died.
How the years roll by! As long
since be died as it was from the time
he started out, unknown, became
commander of all the armies, crush
ed the rebellion, served eight years
as president, circled the world and
then, while death stood at the door,
wrote the book which gave his
wife independence from the cares
that poverty brings to women. After
all it is not time that is wanted, but
the opportunity and the genius to
embrace it.-Goodwin's Weekly.
