CATTLE JUMPED INTO OCEAN.

The unusual spectacle of a dozen or
more frantic steers jumping into the
sea from steamer was witnessed at
Santa Rosa island. California the 9TH
er day. by several yachting parties.
The cattle had been loaded at the
island and the steamer was clearing
the buoys for the mainland. when a
heavy land swell was encountered. In
an instant the cargo OF steers was in
a panic. Breaking their headstalls, a
dozen or more rushed to the open
deck and leaped into the ocean. The
crew Of the steamer managed to con-
troll the rest Of the cattle, and as soon
as the huge land swells ceased all be-
came quiet. Boats were lowered and
after delay Of more than an hour
all Of the steers that made the leap
were headed ashore and safely locked
in the cattle pens.

charged from cannon mounted in
the bows OF steamer, the conditions
were entirely changed, and the species
formerly immune from attack could
now be hunted with impunity.
The result OF this revolution In the
conditions under which the fishing
could be prosecuted is seen In the
enormous dimensions which the In
dustry has attained at the present
day.
1t is estimated that I'm 1911 between
10000 and 10000 whales were cap
tured in the southern hemisphere
alone (South Georgia. South Shetland.
South America and Africa). to which
has to be added the catch In North
America, japan, Farce. Iceland. Spitz-
bergen and Greenland. and these fig
ues will probably be greatly exceed
ed In 1912, as numerous new COM
panies have been formed to exploit
Alaskan, Australasian and Sandwich
island waters.
This wholesale destruction must in
evitably tell it's tale within a few
years. and, as a matter of fact, in
Newfoundland and Iceland fears are
already entertained that the fishing Is
on the decline.
1t would not, therefore. be a matter
for surprise if, within few years, 1t

mately become.
