For month the friends aud foes
Of temperance reform have seen the
lines OF tho final battle forming. AL
ready the saloons and their allies,
have yielded much. But this has been
done IN the hope that they win thereby
save themselves from yielding more.
They know certain kinds OF prohibition
that do not prohibit. one kind is To-

everywhere have found this kind Of re-

SHOOTING WHALES.
Modern Whalers Use a Cannon and an
Explosive Harpoon

Whaling with modern methods in
Alaskan waters is an exciting game es-
pecially for those who are new to the
business
The modern whaling steamer is little
vessel almost round on the bottom,
which enables it to be turned and man
aged with the greatest ease. Mounted at
the bow is n small cannon that shoots
Il harpoon weighing more than 100
pounds and having an explosive head,
called n bomb.
If the shot is good and the harpoon
is planted suuarely behind the fin, says
the London Worlds Work. the bomb
crashes into the lungs, killing instantly:
if not, the struggle may last for several
hours
After a whale has been killed the car
cass is brought alongside the boat and
inflated so that il will float. 4 long coil
OF rubEer hose, one end of which is at
tached to a pump and the other to a hol-
low spear pointed tube of Steel with
perforations along its entire length, is
used for this purpose.
The spear is thrust we'll down into the
whales side, the air pump started and
the body slowly filled with air When
inflated enough To keep it afloat the tube
is withdrawn, the incison plugged with
oakum and the carcass cast off 4 buoy
with flag is attached to the body and
IL Is then set adrltt TO be picked up at
the end of the days hunting.
The whaling station is group of
buildings situated in bay or cove near
eEeugh to the feeding grounds to allow
the steamer to come in each night with
the days catch. The whales are anch-
ored at buoy i'll front of a long, in
clined platform, upon which they are
drawn, tail first, by means of steam
winch.
The saying that every part of the pig
but the squeal is now of market value is
also fact with the whale. Not "A par
ticle of the animal is wasted. After the
skeleton is stripped of flesh it is disartic-
ulated and the bones chopped in pieces.
The bubber is tried out for oil and the
meat and bones are boiled for the same
purpose Later the flesh is artifciallv
dried and sifted, making a fine guano
and the bones are ground up for fertil-
izer. Even the blood is boiled and dried
with the flesh, and the water in which
| the blubher has been tried out makes ex-
celent glue. The fins and tail after be-
ing sliced into thin strips are sailed and
barreled and shipped to Japan as an
article of food.

The Crime of the Sugar Trust

| The S2,000O00 which the American
| Sugar Refining Company pays TO the
government of the United States repre-
sents approximately the amount of
which that corporation has defrauded
the national treasury by deliberate and
systematic cheating that began in 1897
and was carried ON for n series of years.
Employees OF the company and employees
Of the government paid to watch the
employees of the company were parties
to the fraud and were paid by the com
pany for their collision. More than
one honest employee Of the government
who refused to sanction the swindle and
reported it TO his superiors in the Gus
toms service was transferred 10 other
duty, indicating Il pr0ba biIity that per-
sons holding influential positions in the
Treasury Department during the years
between 1897 and 1907 were concerned
IN the plot. Beside this fragrant and
long-continued robbery, the recently dis
covered smuggling device by which WON
ems dresses and millinery were brought
into the country contrary to law with
out paying duty seems like baga-
telIe.
There were several methods by which
the sugar fraud was perpetrated, but the
object of all of them was to tamper with
the Caales in the process Of weighing inn
portattons Of raw sugar for the deter
minatiOn of the amount of duty To be
pad by the refining company to the
government Tho raw sugar in bags as
it comes from the ships is placed ON
trucks and weighed to determine the
nuBabcr Of pounds on which the
company shall pay duty. The weight
of the trucks is deducted from the gross
weight Of the trucks and their burden,
TO ascertain the net weight of the sugar.
The first trick was to substitute light
trucks after heavy trucks had been Of
iicialIy weighed. When the government
found out this deception IL insisted upon
trucks Of uniform weight Then the
practice of turning the ball on the scales
was adODted-an easy way to ensure
false balances Another practice was
10 hang hidden weights on the beam.
so that 1t could not rise TO its proper
level. Another method akin 10 this for
tampering with the weighing was to
get the checker to put his foot upon the
beam. To prevent cheating by these va
rious methods was no easy matter, but
in time the thing was done.
In 1900 new device was adopted.
This consisted Of the insertion Of a thin
steel corset spring through a hole drilled
in the uprights or stanchions supporting
the scales. If put in when there was
a load on the platform, its pressure
against the walking beam Of the scale
resulted in creating a false balance, aud
~ making the load appear considerably
Lighter than it really was. This device
was in operation for three years.
Nv paving back to the government the
S2mO.OOO that it had stolen the sugar
trust has not disinvolved itself from
trouble. There is now in prospect prose
cutlon on criminal charges The sugar
trust is likely to be made 10 realize
that the way Of the trangressor is hard.

many species of fish a few species Of
reptiles, and even insects undertake some
very extraordinary migratiOns.
In New Zealand the most notable mi

sands, led by an invisible Pied Piper,
swarmed for many days across fields.
through villages, over rivers and up hill
and down dale, have become important
events in the local history. The migra-
tons Of eels have not attracted as much
attention as the movements Of other
animals, but are quite as remarkable.

1t is not necessary to be able to speak
anything but English in Europe, even
if you are alone. Europeans are poly
glOts, especially the serving people. so
you can throw the burden on them. Also
you can make motions. and if you look
pleasant you will get what you want.
Likewise the language of small copper
or silver coins is easily understood the
world over. Besides, you will soon begin
to pick up foreign words yourself and use
them almost unconsciously.
BY the time you have reached London
or Paris or Naples you will undoubted-
ly have obtained the addresses of a num-
Der of pensions or lodgings, but if not,
foreign hotels are cheap. Take room
at almost any of them for the day, or
night first making your bargain with
the clerk. Meals you can get as you
fit about sightseeing. 1t is safe to in
qulre of station agents or police Off
GERS, if need be, as to a suitable pen
sion, explaining your needs and the price
you are willing to pay. Remember that
Europeans are accustomed to taking care
OF travellers, and that your request will
not surprise them.
Americans owe it to themselves and
their countrymen to learn moderation
and justice in tipping. Do not be afraid
to appear mean. We are far more often
fo0lishly eXtravagant, and the laughing
stock of those whom we wish TO treat
generously. 1t is more selfrespecting TO
be honest with them and give them only
what one of their own countrymen would
give. You can learn this from fellow
travellers.
Travel with as little luggage as posi-
BILE, and let that little be in the form of
hand bags. Trunks are a calamity in
4 Europe, owing TO the custom laws and
the excess baggage charges. Hand lug
gage is allowed free, and if you travel
either late or early in the season you
will find plenty of room for it. There
are always many porters at the stations
and they are only too glad to handle
your bags for a penny apiece.
Do not think you must take cab ev-
cry few minutes. You would probably
not do it at home. The tops of the ON
nihuses afford the best way of seeing
Europe close to the ground and at first
hand; and you will learn a great deal
more about ways and means of getting
around than if you simply step into a
cab and order the cocher to drive you
somewhere.
Travel second class on railway trains
without hesitation, and in England some
of the third class carriages are excellent.
Do not, however, travel less than first
class on the ocean steamers, or any 9th
er boats.
Even a first trip to Europe may be
made alone, with a sense of perfect Sc
curity and a certainty that all will be
well-Harper's Bazaar.
