A WHALE IN A HURRY.
Tho 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.
''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.
'The captain called the 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 so that they couldn't strike the
water-then an iron was thrown into
the floating island.
'The whale lay still for a moment,
as if struck with amaZement that any
one should dare to touch him. Sudden
~
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.
Cali we could do in that double end
ed boat was to sit still and see her go
through the water. I candidly believe
that we went at the rate Of mile a
minute, and the water was a very
wonderful sight. It reminds me, now
that think Of it, of Poe's description
of the interior Of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
and was so black that it must have
seemed like a wall of polished ebony.
'The pressure downward piled the
water up on both sides Of US so that
it 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 it hadn't time.
"Every ones eyes were blurred with
the wind, which seemed to be blowing
hurricane against us. It looked as Il
the 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
slackened.
'"The whale hadn't stopped and, for
all know, is going ahead at the rate
of a mile minute still, but tie iron
had come out.
eve rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
"'Where's the whale?'
"'Oh,' said I, the iron melted out, he
went so fast
Just what I thought said the cap
tain, and that night we all had plum
duff and grog." Chicago Inter Ocean.

COLOR BLINDNESS.
The Incident That Opened John Dali
toms Eyes to His Affiction.

toms Eyes to His Affliction.
John Dalton, the famous English
chemist and natural philosopher, with.
out whose discovery Of the laws of
chemical combination chemistry as an
exact science could hardly exist, was
wholly color blind. His knowledge of
the fact came about by a happening of
the sort which we call chance. On his
mothers birthday, when he was a man
of twenty-six, he took her a pair of
stockings which he had seen in shop
window, labeled silk, the newest
fashion,"
'"Thee has bought me pair of grandA
hose, john" said the mother, ''but
what made thee fancy such a bright
color? Why. can never show myself
at meeting in them"
John was much disconnected, but he
told her that he considered the stock
ings to be of very proper go to
meeting color, as they were dark
blush drab.
''Why, they're as red as a cherry,
JOhn," was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab in the
stockings, and they rested in the belief
that the good wife's eyes were out Of
order until she, having consulted vari-
Gus neighbors, returned with the YER
dict, "Varra fine stuff, but uncommon
scarlety."
The consequence was that John Dal-
ton became the first to direct the at
tention of the scientific world to the
subject of color blindness
