WHALES ARE AWED
Captain of Blubber Bark De-
 scribes Eruption of Volcano.
Portuguese Sailors Pray to the Saints and Every Form of Life In Sea or Air Vanlshes-Hurricane
 Hits Ship.

San Francisco.-The whaling bark Gayhead, Captain Wing, which left here seven months ago on blubber expedition in the frozen north, re- turned with $50 barrels of sperm oil, the product of eight whales, and an at count of the volcanic eruption at Katmai in June. The Gayhead was miles off shore at the time of the eruption. Whales were plentiful, sea birds were visible in all directions and fish, large and small, could be seen in the clear, green water.
 A whale had been cut out of the school that was spouting not far from the bark, had been killed and made fast alongsid, the vessel. Fires had been started under the blubber kettles and the work of cutting up the whale was in full blast when a muffled ex- plosion that seemed to shake the uni six more explosions.
 A few minutes later there appeared on the horizon a small, black cloud that assumed leviathan proportions as 1t rushed toward the Gayhead. There was wind with 1t, and it struck the vessel with the violence of a hurricane squall. As 1t hit the bark the air was filled with fine white dust, that soon covered the decks.
 The blackness was on both sides of the vessel Black as the darkest night is the way Captain Wing de scribes 1t Between the two strata of black was a column of fiery yellow bright as gold. Captain Wing, who has passed many years in the arctic and who recognized the explosions as of volcanic origin. says that the com bination of black and yellow was the strangest sight he had ever seen.
 The Portuguese whalemen quit work, dropped to their knees and in- voked the aid of every saint on the calendar They were satisfied that the day of judgment had arrived The shower of ashes and the accompanying darkness lasted for forty-eight hours.
 ''As the squall approached" said Captain Wing, q noticed the whales skedaddle. They hooked on at full speed When the air cleared, two days later, there was not whale in sight. nor a fish nor fowl, nor a sign of any kind of life. It was not until the Gay head had cruised many miles and had winged it's way far out of the track of the volcanic dust that as much as a bird was seen. That cussed squall queered our cruise all right"
 It was more than a month later that the people on the Gayhead learned that Katmai had been in erup- tion.

CAN'T LOSE HAIR.
Twenty Years From Today a Bald Headed Man Will Be an Un-
 usual SiQht,

One of the most prominent drug gists of America made a statement few weeks ago, which has caused a great dea off discussion among scientists in the medical press.
 He said: If the new hair grow CT, Mildredina aHir Remedy, in- creases it's sales as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man, woman and child in America within eight years.
 When Mildredina Hair Remedy is used almost universally. dandruff will disappear and, with it's depart ure, baldheadedness itching scalp, splitting hair and all scalp diseases will follow, and twenty years from now a bald head will be a rarity" There is only one way to cure dan druff, and that is to kill the germs. There is only one hair preparation that will kill the germs, and that is Mildredina Hair Remedy. This un- usual hair restorer, with it's record of thousands of cures, will grow hair on any head where there is any life left; it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp in three weeks or money back.
 It is the most pleasant and invig- orating tonic, is not sticky or greasy and is used extensively by ladies of refinement who desire to have and to keep their hair sofe, lustrous and luxuriant. Fifty cents for large bottle at druggists everywhere. Mail orders filled by the Mildredina Specially Co.,, Boston, Mass.
