cannibaIism and Sentiment.

The civilized world is agreed in re-
garding the practice of c%annibalism MS
r~eprehenslble and detestable. But an
article in the Gazette de Hollande Is
devoted to proving that the popular
ideas Of cannibalism. and in particular
Of its motives. are completely false.
The cannibal is generally represented
as n degraded being led to an inhuman
practice by the grossness Of his appe
tites. On the contrary. insists the
Dutch writer. the vast majority Of can
nibals are such against their own wish
es, obeying the voice Of sentiment.
Some respected the dead man during
his life and are anxious to insure y
worthy burial for him Others are
prompted by the desire to asslmilate
the dead mans virtues i'm the process
Of digestion. while q third class aro ac.
tuated by motives Of revenge and find
their satisfaction In this supreme IN.
suit. Either piety or vengeance is the
cause of c%annibalism.

Mn" ppiSnnS out Of ten will say
that such and such u steamship Is
capable of Stelming nj twenty-five
knots per hour" \ nautical man would
simpl, say twenty-five knots" Now,
which is correct; The latter. of course.
The mistake arises from the fact that
the laldSman thinks that a knot Is
just the nautical term for n sea mile"
which is. roughly. G.0S0 feet, or about
II and one-eighth land or statute

The sailor has Il language peculiar 10

Seasick Fish.

Fish become III and die from seasick-
ness when carried long distances upon
the ocean,, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. For that reason many rare
and interesting specimens captured in
tropical countries cannot be brought
alive to northern points for public in
spection. In "A recent shipment of 400
fish from Key West to New York more
than 100 died on the way and the re
mainder arrived in Il condition that re-
quired heroic treatment to save their
lives. According to this 1t may be pre-
sumed that the agony endured by hui
mans when the ship begins to pitch
and roll is as nothing compared with
the same sulferingS of tank incloScd
fish. As Il %precaution the fish are fed
practically nothing for ut least one day
before being taken on board, The gal
vanized iron tanks in which the fish
are carried contain from ten to fifty
gallons of sea water kept at Il constant
temperature of about 80 degrees by
steam from the ships boilers during
the trip.
