SAVING THE SEA BIRDS.
Relentless Slaughter Has Exter-
minated Many Species in the
Pacific Islands.

No one knows better than the
sailor or the shore hunter how the
sea birds may be exterminated,
and no one better than the Indian
or the trapper of the deep woods,
how sometimes the widest and
most abundant species may dis
appear. The wonderful great aux,
or garefowl, has, within the mem-
DRY of men now living, been hunted
from the face of the earth, so that
it's skin and its eggs are now worth
their weight in gold, says the New
York Mail. Practically the beau
tiful wild pigeon, which once dark
ened the skies with its vast, cloud
like flight, has met the same fate,
though small colonies of it in re.
mote spots undOubtedlys till ex
list. The eastern pinnated grouse
it almost practically extinct. In
the Chatham islands, alone, in the
Pacific, II species of birds have
become extinct.
On all the islands of the sea, and
at all the shore spots to which sea
birds resort, the work of slaughter
is being carried on quite relent-
lessly. Largely for humane rea-
sons, and incidentally in the inter
est of science, the National Assoc
citation of Audubon Societies is
engaged in the work of trying to
save the sea birds from extermina-
tiOn. Several species are being
Systematically destroyed for their
feathers. Fashion, of course, does
not care whether these beautiful
creatures are eXterminated or not.
The scarcer they become, up to the
point of their actual disappear
ance, the greater are the prices
realized for their feathers, and the
deeper the JOY taken by the wearer
of the ornament. And when at last
they are all gOne-why, there will
be another of Gods creatures to
put through the same process.
This association has 40 wardens
guarding some of the key colonies
of these sea birds. This may
guarantee them from total de,
structiOn at present, but does not
insure the maintenance of the
birds of the species in question in
such numbers as to render their
preservation sure. Instead of 40

FIVE HUNDRED WHLAEs DIE
They Go Ashore in an Inlet IN the
Straits Of Magellan and
Perish

81 saw 500 whales ashore at one
time in the Straits of Magellan"
said Capt. James Heylet, of the
British navy, at the Union depot,
reports the Milwaukee Free Press.
"Some years ago my ship lay off
Pearl inlet, a small creek a mile
and a half long, opening into Port
Salvador which in turn opens into
the South Atlantic by a very mar
row opening. One morning a
whirlwind appeared to be APP
preaching over the water in the
Bay of San Salvador, and soon
this was made out to be an enOr-
nous school of whales, so thick
that they seemed to be jOstling
each other. Nothing was seen but
fins and tails and the water in
foam all around
"This was in a flowing tide, and
they came into the inlet itself de-
scribing sort of cycloidal curves
until the inshore part of the squad
ron took on a kelp reef. Then a
sudden pause seemed to seize
them all, and the unfortunate ami
mails went up the inlet full speed,
with the sea boiling in upon them
and a great wave coming over
them, and they piled up in hun
dreds on the beach. Then, as
there was a rising tide, they got
off again, but only to charge the
opposite beach, and this was con-
tinued till the following tide and
loss of strength left them high and
dry all round the dreary bay.
Every few, old or young, lived
more than a quarter of an hour
after their final stranding. Some
died quietly, others beat the sand
and water with their tails, dyeing
the water with their blood. By
evening, after that tide had ebbed,
there were only five whales ahOat
out of the more than 500 that had
come into the inlet SO majestically
that morning.
'Next day only three were to be
seen. They swan around for
awhile and then, as if disdaining
to live when all their companions
were dead, they made straight for
the beach, and in few minutes
had passed out of existence. The
whales were from four to thirty
feet long, the four-foOt whales be-
ing just born"

GERMAN SMOKE NUISANCE.
Efforts Made in Cities Of That coun-
try TO Overcome the An
noyance

Germany has it's smoke nui-
sance az well as Washington, as
appears from an official report
made by United States Consul
General Guenther at Frankfort,
in which he says:
For several years past the
state governments of Germany
have given attention to the smoke
nuisance. The stoppage of the
chief Source of excessive smoke
by training firemen to be more ex-
pert and careful has been tried re-
Gently, and the formation of smoke
can be reduced in this way to a
great degree. The proper con
structiOn and management OF
steam boilers and the prevention
of explosions has received careful
attention through police regula-
lions and continued examina.
lions by official experts. The daily
care of boilers, however, has been
very often intrusted to ignorant
firemen, as the instruction in
stituted by few industrial asso-
Citations has not been adequate
and the owners of steam plants
frequently failed to show suffi-
cient interest in the thorough
teaching of their firemen. For the
purpose of supplying a remedy
the ministry Of commerce and
trade three years ago instituted
travelling courses of instruction
for firemen,' by which more than
500 men have been taught.
"The instruction is given in Il.
day courses and comprises theo-
retical and practical instruction
by an ACCIDENTALLY trained engi-
neer and competent fireman. Its
object is not only the prevention
of smoke, but q safe and econom-
ical treatment of steam boilers,
so that not only the public interest
but that of the owners of boilers
is taken into account. These con-
tinued courses are given wherever
sufficient attendance can be ex-
pected. The state bears part of
the expenses and from time to
time sends out expert firemen to
visit steam plants in order to
watch the boiler attendants, call
their attention to mistakes or de-
fects, and give them practical in
struction with reference to firing
and safety appliances. Only when
the services of the expert are de-
sired for several days does fee
have to be paid. The interest
shown in the instruction is con
stantly increasing, and its value,
based upon the results obtained,
is more and more appreciated"

WOMEN AND JIU-JITsU.
American Exponent Of the Art AS

Mr.. H. Irving Hancock, jour
nalist, author, war correspond
ent and traveller, is now associat-
ed in the public mind as the
American exponent of jiu-jitsu,
says the Critic. During more than
seven years Mr.. Hancock has
been preparing himself for the
writing of books ON this subject by
taking instruction under Japan
ese teachers both in this country
and in Yokohama and Toxic.
Not long ago Mr.. Hancock was
laid on the shelf with the injured,
by a pupil who was taking the
third lesson-and by a woman at
that! While laid up, and with one
foot prOpped on a rest, Mr.. Han
cock was visited by many of his
friends who prOffered their sym
patty. They were met with the
information that no sympathy
was desired--that instead of wish.
ing coincidence he was delighted
that the thing had happened. He
has no patience with the express
sion, "the weaker sex" He holds
that, where other conditions are
equal, woman should be as
strong as a man. Mr.. Hancock.

inches in height, and weighs 100
pounds. He does not look as if he
weighed than 1870. He is broad
of shoulder and of large chest ex.
pansion, but is small in his limbs.
He claims to have the average
Japanese build in all but weight.
Mr.. Hancock's wife is five inches
shorter than he is, and weighs
some 20 pounds less, but he has
trained her to such a degree of
skill in the Japanese feats of com
bat that she is able to throw him
at will when she can succeed in Sc
curing the proper holds.

CHANCES OF LIFE.
Clergymen Seem to Live the Longest
and Bartenders the Shortest.

From the London Leader.
What occupation in life offers man the
best prospect of long life? is a question
often asked. DR.. Sehofield, late lecturer and
examiner for the National Health Society,
has given a table of longevity which sup
plies an answer.
Evidently the Christian ministry is the
most heaIthful of all occupations. "Cler-
gy,' who head the list, live more than
twice as long as the average members of
other professions. Nonconformist ministers
die little faster
The complete list works out thus in order
of longevity: Clergy (55 per cent?, dissent
ers, grocers, lawyers, diapers, coal miners,
Watchmakers, artists, shoemakers, bakers,
clerks, chemists, green grocers, tailors, doc
tors, butchers, painters, musicians, cab and
bus men, sweeps, publicans, metal miners,
hawkers, London laborers, barmen
Descent from a good stock, temperate
habits, and small but assured, incomes are
said to be factors in the long life of the
clergy.
Farmers would show up better if they
spent less money in drink
''Grocers owe their higher death rate to
the spirits they consume"
Lawyers would be better off If 1t were
not that after forty-five they die off more
quickly
Diapers die largely from consumption,
owing to the amount of dust encountered
in their business, but the surprisingly good
health Of coal miners is probably due to
the harmlessnesS of coal dust.
Bakers die largely from drink and sui
cide''
Clerks alone live to the present average
age of forty-three.
Musicians include all organ grinders and
German bands, hence writes the author,
