A WHALE IN A HURRY.
The Truthful Mariner Tells How Fast
the Big Fellow Went.

Sometimes you can put an iron into
a whale and he won't splash on the
surface, but will start off like rocket
or perhaps will go right down and you
have to cut loose and lose your line
and irons" said the truthful old mar
iner.
1--WE were lying becalmed one day off
the Cape Of Good Hope. BY and by
we saw two or three whales coming
up to blow about two miles away.
1.-The captain called tile watch up,
and couple of boats started for the
whales, which were lying still, as If
summing themselves. We raced with
the other boat and got ahead, for my
men were 1.-THE and tough. and by and
by we got alongside of one Of the big
fellows. The steering oar was pulled
in, the oars were packed-that is, piled
In so that they couldn't strike the
water-then an iron was thrown into
the floating island.
fThe whale lay still for a moment,
as if struck with amazement that any
one should dare to touch him. Sudden
~ he made up his mind what to do.
He started Off like a locomotive, the
rope whizzing around In a way to as
tonish landlubber. When the rope
was out we were rushing by the cap
tain's boat like mad.
'All we could do In that double end
ed boat was to sit still and see her go
through the water. l candidly believe
that we went at the rate Of a mile a
minute, and the water was a very
wonderful sight. 1t reminds me, now
that think of it, Of Poes description
Of the interior Of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
aud was so black that 1t must have
seemed like wall Of polished ebony.
1.-THE pressure downward piled the
water up on both sides Of us so that
1t seemed to be at least three feet
higher than the edge of the boat, but
it couldn't run In, for we were going
so fast 1t hadn't time.
every ones eyes were blurred with
the wind, which seemed to be blowing
a hurricane against us. 1t looked as II
she whale would never get tired out.
and we were going to sea at an amaz-
ing rate. The ship went away as If by
magic, and we had lost sight Of the
other boat. Finally the line all at once
siackened.
"The whale hadn't stopped and. for
all know, is going ahead at the rate
Of mile minute still, but the iron
had come out.
I'VE rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
Where's the whaler
"'Oh.' said I, the iron melted out, he
went so fast
"'Just what thought said the cap
tain, and that night we all had plum
suff and grog."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

A GEOLOGIC PHENOMENON.
Raised Beaches and Caves of tho Island
of Arran

The island Of Arran is one of those
places on the west Of Scotland where
the geologic phenomenon known as q
raised beach" Is very apparent. All
along the coast there are evidences
that the land has been considerably
elevated at some period Of the worlds
history. One Of these proofs is the
presence Of caves of various sizes
formed by the action Of the waves in
the past. but which are now we'll
above the present high water mark
The farmers use some Of the larger
caves as shelters for sheep in stormy
weather.
In n remote corner Of the island one
Of these caves has been converted into
a human habitation. where family of
several persons dwell in absolute Sc
clusion. Their occupation is the gath
ering Of whelks. an employment which
Is said to afford but precarious live
lihood. AS the gathering Of the she'll
fish can OILY be done at low water and
as the fishers have no boat or other
occupation, they have ample leisure to
enjoy the pure air and bask in the sun
shine.
Except for the drip from the face Of
the high rocks above. which is skill
fully diverted. the cave is absolutely
dry. The interior is shaped like tri-
angle. the floor forming the base. Save
at the sides there Is ample room to
stand upright and move about inside.
Besides tie beds and cooking utensils.
the cave contains many articles of va
rious kinds. giving the interior quite
homelike appearance. The apology for
a fireplace is some way back from the
entrance, through which the smoke
finds its way outside. - Wide World

LOVERS DIE UNDER TRAIN
Inquest Fails to Explain Tragedy at
Petersfeld, England.
Both Under Age, They Place Them
selves on Track After Trying TO
Drown Each other in Brook.

London. Jan. 29-It was an unfathom-
able mystery why they should have ended
their lives. said the coroner at Peters
field yesterday at the inquest on two
young lovers. Harry Moss and Ellen
LIQUID. both under twenty, who had lain
down. on the railway track and had
been decapitated by a train. The verdict
was suicide
Each had left a letter TO their respeo-
tive parents stating that they had de-
termined TO die together. Before going
to the railway they had, It seems, at
tempted suicide by drowning in a brook.
which. however. had but six inches Of
water In IT, Their clothes were satura-
ted. a letter written a month ago by
the two expressed their determination to
die.
They must had laid down side by side
with their heads across the line. said a
doctor giving evidence. There were
marks on the paraDet Of the wall where
they had pressed their toes. No evidence
was given to show why they had COM
mitted suicide.
