A MuRDEROUS WEAPON.
The Explosive Harpoon, the Whale
Hunters Chief Re1ianoA.

Fhe Explosive Harpoon, the Whale
Hunters Chief Reliance.
The explosive harpoon, which ID the
modern whale hunters chief reliance,
is a truly murderous weapon, six nset
In length and strong In proportion,
made chiefly of malleable iron and ad-
mirably designed for the staying Of the
immense creatures. Its most striking
feature next TO the bomb head, which
Is operated by time fuse and explodes
IN the vitals Of the whale, Is the anchor
like device that prevents the harpoon
drawing out Of the body again upder
the terrific strain of the wounded mon
Ster's frantic efforts to free itself. This
consists of four hinged barbs, which
lie along the shaft before 1t Is fired, but
which are forced apart and imbed
themselves In the whales body after he
Is hit, so that II the prize escapes,
which sometimes occurs, 1t Is only by
breaking the rope
When fish" are numerous and there
is a chance Of killing more than one In

dead hole is bored through its back
into its stomach and air is pumped into
1t by a pipe from the steamers engines
until 1t is inflated like a great balloon.
The orifice Is then closed with a wood
en- plug, and man Is left alongside In
a small boat to establish ownership,
while the whaler steams off In quest of
other prey. AS many as FIVE whales
have been killed by a ship In one day,

threes and twos are commonly got A
single ship killed twenty-five In a week,

WORK FOR YOURSELF.


Then You WIN Have a Chance to De-
velOp Your individuality.
1t Is well known that long continued
employment in the service Of others Of
ten cripples originality and Individual
ity. That resourcefulness and inventive
ness which come from perpetual
stretching of the mind to meet emex-
gencies or from adjustment of means
to ends is seldom developed to its ut
most in those who work for others
There is not the same compelling mo-
tive to expand, to reach out, to take
risks or to plan for oneself when the
programme Is made for him by another.
Our self made men, who refused to
remain employees or subordinates, are
the backbone of the nation. They are
the sinews Of our country's life. Thsy
gets its strength, by fighting every inch
of its way up from the acorn with
storm and tempest. 1t Ia the hard
schooling that the self made man gets
In his struggles to elevate and make q
place for himself in the world that de-
velops him.
Some employees have a pride in
working for great institution. Their
identity with 1t pleases them. But isn't
even a small business of your own,
which gives you freedom and scope to
develop your individuality and to be
yourself, better than being a perpetual
clerk in large institution, where you
are merely one cog in wheel Of q vast
machine?
The sense Of personal responsibility is
In itself a great educator, a powerful
schoolmaster. Sometimes young wom-
en- who have been brought up In luxury
and who have known nothing Of work
when suddenly thrown upon their own
resources by the loss of property or
compelled even to support their once
wealthy parents develop remarkable
strength and personal power. Young
men, too, sometimes surprise every
body when suddenly left to carry on
their fathers business unaided They
develop force and power which no one
dreamed they possessed.
We never know what we can do I'M
til we are put to the test by some great
emergency or tremendous responsible
ty. When we feel that we are cut of
from outside resources and must de-
pend absolutely upon ourselves we can
fight with all the force of desperation.
The trouble with working for others
is the cramping of the individuality
the lack Of opportunity to expand along
original and progressive lines-because
fear Of making a mistake and appre-
hension lest we take too great risks are
constantly hampering the executive, the
creative, the original faculties.-suc-

of the ashes of southern wood, one
