A NEW WHALE.
Interesting Discovery Recently Made
By Antarctic Expedition.

Rumors of an Antarctic whale un-
known to science have reached this
country from time to time, exciting
interest tinged with skepticism among
European naturalists. These rumors
have been amply confirmed by E. A..
Wilson, naturalist to the recent dis
covery expedition. On January %,
1902, three of these whales, easily
recognized by the high and narrow
back fin, we're seen off Ross great
ice barrier, and four others on Feb
ruary s following. They were not
large, as whales go, measuring only
between 20 and 80 feet in length, with
short blunt muzzles, black above and
white below, the characteristic Tin
standing three or Icur feet above the
back. Mr.. Wilson assigns this new
whale to the Mystacoceti-the baleen
or whalebone group of c7taceans-
and considers that it will prove to
constitute new genus.
It is our grief that Sir William
Flower is no longer among US to share
the interest in this discovery. Deep
and catholic as was his affection for
all living creatures, he made the
whales his peculiar care, and sorrow
fully foresaw their approaching ex-
tinction.
For countless centuries (he said in
lecture to the Royal Institution in
1889 impulses from within and the
force Of circumstances from without
have been gradually shaping the whal-
es into their present wonderful form
and gigantic size, but the very per-
fection of their structure and their
magnitude combined, the rich supply
of oil protecting their internal parts
from cold, the beautiful apparatus of
whalebone by which their nutrition is
provided for, have been fatal gifts,
which, under the sudden revolution
produced on the surface Of the globe
by the development Of the wants and
arts of civilized man cannot but lead
in few years to their partial if not
ooron1o+o ovtinction
While Sir William Flower held that
the evidence ''was absolutely conclu-
sive' that whales represent the adap-
tation Of terrestrial mammal to an
aquatic existence, he was equally
firmly convinced that they are not de-
scended, like seals and walruses, from
the carnivores, but that they exhibit
afinities with the ungulates. True
that none of the cetaceans are vege-
tartan, but Sir William Flower be-
ieved that primitive ungulates were
omnivorous, as their least modified
descendants, the pigs, remain to this
day. Treacherous and misleading as
is most popular zoology, he consider
ed that it was true flash Of intelli-
gence which caused sailors and fisher
folk to give to the commoner and
smaller cetaceans such names as sea
hog, sea pig and herring hog. The
French also, not certain with lending
US porc-poisson, to shorten into por-
poise, have in turn borrowed meersch-
vein from the Germans and altered
it to marsouin to denote pigfsh.

Baehr came to this country an i'm
migrant girl about twenty years ago
She came to Shawano county, and
there met a family by the name OF
Baehr consisting OF the father and
several grown daughters. The latter
persuaded the little Immigrant to mar
ry their father. She consented and
found herself the slave OF the entire
family.
1t was shown that soon afterward a
man named Sell came to the Baehr
home. Sell had considerable money.
While there he was murdered Suspi-
cion rested on Baehr. It Is claimed
that he induced his wife to make a
confession. saying she had killed the
man. making her believe that she
would escape with q light sentence.
Instead she was sentenced to Waupun
for life.
Baehr later committed suicide It is
claimed by neighbors that he took his
life because he was afraid that the
true story OF the crime would come out.
w. G. Zachow, wealthy resident of
the county. hearing the story, and be-
coming convinced OF IT'S truth. started
q petition for the pardon Of the woman.

another chance at some future time.
He said he would be glad to try 1t

RAILROAD WINS
IMPORTANT CASE
Judge PEBBLES Renders Sweep
ing Decision Regarding
Right OF Way.

BRISTOL. VA. September I'm the
Superior Court OF Yancey county. at
huntsville, N. c.. to-day. Judge PEBBLES
rendered sweeping decision In favor
of the South and Western Railroad in
the right Of way contest between the
latter and the Southern.
The Southern Railway attempted to
block the construction OF the South
and Western some two years ago. and
organized the johnson City Southern
to parallel it for distance of more
than one hundred miles. The contest
came up over the right of way from
Embreville, Tenn, to Burnsville, n. c..
and through the Nolla Chucky gorge,
both claiming priority In the location
of their lines. For months this has
seriously impcdea the construction of
the South and Western, the new trunk
line from Eastern Kentucky to the
South Atlantic seaboard, the selection
OF another route being impossible.
Judge Peebles's decision gives the
road the right to build It's line and the
advantage. without compensation. of
about 100000 worth of grading done
by the Southern.
