more for May.
Reasons for restlcssness in the
South no longer exist. Every one of
the States showing shortage in the
shifting and drifting to population is
making more or less special effort
to retract population to assist in
developing it's natural resources. In
more than one Of them some Of these
resources have hardly been touched.
Their very efforts to draw population
from outside ought to result in a
stoppaee Of the flow of their own
natives to other parts. There are in
dications that such is the fact.

Boston Loves Great.

Down Boston way the people con-
tinue to recognize and love their
great, l,ys Harper's Weekly. En-
vious people say that the Boston
neighborhood produces so few excel
ling human specimens in these days
that they hail with glee the appear
ance Of any neighbor or any neigh
boris child who gets INTO the front
ranks. This is nice as it is, but no
one knows better than Boston that it
and it's neighborhood are just as pro-
life Of great men as 1t used to be in
the days Of the elder Adamses or Ru-
fus Choate or Daniel Webster( both
New Hampshire men), or the Pome-
roy boy or Elbridge Gerry or Benja-
min F. Butler. At any rate, Boston
is loyal to it's great, and when Geral-
dime Farrar travelled there to sing in
Mr.. Conried's cage, it took only one
item in the newspapers to make many
people pay as much as $3.50 q seat
to see her, while a good many paid
as much or less to hear her. The
item recalled the fact that she was
from Melrose. "Gee!" they said,
"isn't she fine! It's worth the mon
ey just to see her. Her father pitch
ed on the Melrose nine" It was a
great combination for stimulating
Boston local patriotism, baseball and
singing, and Mr.. Conried and the
spectators profited by it; perhaps
satisfactory to heboard, and which
Geraldine did, too.

OCEAN CABLE NABs WHALE.
Catches Huge Beast In South Attain
tic Waters.

In November last, says New York
n etter, an officer Of the Central and
SSouth American Telegraph company
lsaalled on the director Of the New
tEYork Aquarium with q letter from
one electrical engineer Of the COM
RHhy, who desired to know to what
iaepth a whale could descend pnd
iwhether an air breathing mammal
{ could stand water pressure Of near
Wy half ton to the square lncn.
{ The inquiries were prompted by
an interruption Of the submarine ca
|hls betwesr Iquiquo and Valparaiso,
Chile, which occurred on August IA
last, and which was caused by large
whale that was afterward drawn to
the surface by the repair steamer
, Faraday from depth Of 400 fathoms.
An article in the New York Zoologi-
cal Society's Bulletin for April, an
aquarium number, from which the
above facts are taken, continues:
The cable in which the whale was
entangled weighed in the air, while
wet, 1,715 tons per nautical mile, and
had breaking strain of COG tons.
The cables weight in salt water was
1905 tons per nautical mile. ..

AT CLEMSON.
3olege Press Association Had Splen-
did Meeting.

s rs Newberry College, May 14.-Of
Sll things for which southern people
Fe noted their hospitality is the chief,
md this characteristic was never
Halter exemplified than in the enter
Gtainment of the South Carolina Press
Lass oeiation by Clemson College Fri
aday and Saturday of last week. There
Ore tender places in the hearts of
each delegate, whether boy or garl,
tor Clemson and the Clemson boys.
b The trip around the grounds, the
Econcerts, the parade and the dances
,lwere enjoyed, and every one was
made to feel at home and among
friends. The crowning feature Of the
meeting was the banquet, which
would have done credit to large
city. In the gymnasium, amid tasty
decorations in College colors and pen
nants, the tables were set, and the
Clemson Band played while the dele
gates feasted. But banquets are not
successful without toasts, and we
were very fortunate in the speakers
called upon. All the toasts were en-
joyed and all were happily given.
Clemson left no stone unturned to
give the delegates the best possible
time, and they succeeded most ad-
mirhbly, deserving the thanks and.
best wishes of her sister colleges.
But let it not be supposed that
our time was given up entirely to
feasting and merriment. Far from it
We had work to perform, work which
required thought and deliberation.
In our two business meetings we are
bold enough to say we accomplished
/ more than we expected. Many dis
puted points were settled, and at the
end harmony prevailed, a condition
Sabsolutely necessary to the success
bf our Association.
d Some may ask what was the object
Of our meeting. Our Association has
great and glorious end: it is for the
purpose of upbuilding the college
magazine of our beloved state, the
most neglected out most important
feature of college life. Further, we
wish to bring these magazines into
closer connection, to have meetings
of the delegates from the various
staffs where various phases of mag
azine work may be discussed to the
mutual help Of all. 1t is also intend
ed as a protection to magazines as a
strong central body to look after their
interests. This is indeed a commend
able work and it should succeed.
Although our meeting at Clemson
was a great success. Everyone who at
tended has been benefited, and it
was with sad hearts that we left our
hosts. AS Miss Wallace toast runs:
Happy shall we part; and happy meet
been;
Happy shall we part; and happy meet
again"

Splendid Isolation.

A number Of military men in a
Washington hotel were giving an ac-
count of an incident Of the civil war.
A quiet man who stood by at last
said:
"Gentlemen, I happened to be
there, and might be able to refresh
your memory to the event just mar
rated.'
The hotel keeper said to him:
"Sir, what might have been youl

to blow, he must have held two or
three miles Of cable, in suspension.
This however, is unlikely, since it
had four turns Of the cable around
its body, one being in it's mouth.
When the trouble with the cable
was discovered, tests from Valpara-
!iso and Iquique placed the break
about thirteen miles from the latter
place. On August 16, the Faraday left
''H'' re for the position OF The break
and commenced graphing in 342
fathoms, with 500 fathoms of rope
out.
The cable was hove up, cut and
tested to 1quique. The end was buoy
ed, and the ship graphing further

in badly twisted and with increasing
strain.
A large whale was brought to the
surface completely entangled in the
cable. The g. inch b:.,lg ur .ndrrahlc.
the cable was cut close to the whale
and the vessel moved to the wind
ward. Tests were made and Valpara-
iso spoken. The ship made four
so~ndings in the vicinity which
showed depth of 415 fathoms IT,
490 feet, nearly one-half mile.)
1t is extremely doubtful whether
an air breathing animal can 20 as
deep as 400 fathoms and as that
depth is much below the limit Of
pelagic life, on which most whales
feed, it is not likely that the whale
w";''d pen"fr:te such a d.p:h Total
darkness, moreover prevails in depths
of 400 fathoms. According to the
records of whalemen. wha.'s have
been known to stay under water over
an hour and after being harpooned
to have carried out a mile of line be-
fort reappearing at the surface, al
though this does not necessarily mean
that the line was carried down verti-
cally.
The MISUNDERSTANDING cable was
laid on January 27, 1906. At first
sight it seems unlikely that the whale
entangled in this cable could have
remained Int month"; IT, :. l., .rm-
plete disintegration or being gradu-
ally consumed by small forms of life
on the ho!tcm.
Tie deep s'a. l.. wever, is ''ite.<ely'
cold, the temperature being close to
the freezing point Of fresh water,
and the carcass, unless actively at
tackled by bottom life, might be ex-
pected to last longer than in the war
mer surface waters.
Since, from what we know Of air
breathing animals, it is unlikely that
the whale would descend 400 fathoms
of its own accord, and as a deep sea
cable is mot laid very slack, it is
doubtful that the whale c,ni,: have
fouled it at the bottom.
The logical conclusion is that it
became entangled during the laying
Of the cable, eight months before,
when there was a considerable sus-
pension. !"c tx ed conditi "a: :
stiff and heavy cable about the ami
NAL shows that the energy expend-
ed in the vain efforts to free itself
