NEW METHODS IN WHALING
earded for the Most Modern of Deadly Weapons.

In early days the wooden sailing try in southern seas pursued only right whales and sperm whales, or cachalots. The so-called "finners,' such as the blue whale, the largest animal in the world; the inner whale;
 the small fish whale: and the hump back, were all too active, and sank too quickly when killed But their turn has now come, for the modern whale gun is a finely fashioned cannon, the harpoon carries a shell, and the body of the whale is kept afloat by inflating it with air through pipes from the engine room of the whaler. The rem dering is now done in a factory on shore, or in a special large vessel moored in the harbor. Besides the whalebone which no longer pays well or at all, and the oil which is graded into qualities as 1t comes from the olubber, the fat of the tongue and kid neys. the flesh and bones and the refuse, there remain the dried flesh and bones, which are now also put to commercial use. The absolutely fresh flesh is used to make whale-meat meal
 a nutritious and wholesome foodstun that is largely fed to cattle. From the remaining flesh and about third of the bones whale guano is made, and from the bones alone bone meal The largest whaling business in the world is now conducted in the Falkland is- lands and their dependencies. The season begins in November. and lasts until the end of April, and the aver age production of oil is nearly half million barrels; of guano, S,375 tons. The industry gives. employment to about $500 men.-Youth's Companion.

T know. I know!" she said quickly.

T know, I know!" she said quickly. T trust you in this matter implicitly. I have come to you for many reasons, chief of them being that if second victim has fallen beneath the hand of the assassin, it is, know, woman" ,"
 "A woman! Whom?"
 At present I cannot tell you. I must first establish the facts. If this woman were really stricken down, then her body lies concealed some where in the vicinity. We must find it and bring home the crime to the guilty one"
 But if we succeed in finding it, could we place our hand upon the assassin ?" asked, looking straight at her
 If we find it, the crime would then tell its own tale-it would convict the person in whose hand have seen that fatal weapon" was her clear. bold answer.
 Then you wish me to assist you in this search, Miss Leithcourt? My search may bring suspicion upon me. It will be difficult to examine the whole wood without arousing the curiosity of somebody-the keeper or the police"
 T have already thought of that" she said. Il will pretend tomorrow to lose this watch bracelet in the wood" and she held up her slim wrist to show me the little enameled watch set in her bracelet Then you and 1 will search for it diligently, and the police will never suspect the real reason of our investigation. Tomorrow l shall write to you telling you about my loss, and you will come over to Ran noch and offer to help me" was silent for a moment. "Is MT. Woodroffe back at the castle? I heard he was to return to- day"
 No. l had a letter from him from Bordeaux week ago. He is still on the continent. I believe, indeed, he has gone to Russia, where he some times. has business"
 "I asked you the question, Miss Mu- riei, because I thought if MT. Wood roffe were here he might object to our searching in company" l ex- plained. smiling.
 Her cheeks flushed slightly, as though confused at my reference to her engagement, and she said mis- chievously:
 T don't see why he should object in the least. If you are good enough to assist me to search for my bracelet, he surely ought to be much obliged to you"

HEAVY FIGHTING
 RENEWED IN WEST
OF FRONT BEFORE GERMAN COUNTER ATTACKS.
ADVANCE MADE BY TEUTONS
Russians Are Making Some Headway Between the Dneister Marshes
 and ZuraWna.

London. For the first time in weeks there has been heavy fighting over comparatively extensive line of the British front in Belgium and Fance Berlin describes it as an An gloFrench movement synchronizing with Russian reverses in Galicia.
 To win a mile of front, and then to lose 1t before terrific German coun- ter attacks was the experience of the British near Festubert In a state ment, frank if brief, Field Marshal French records this incident, but does been heavy on both sides.
 The Germans are as frank in con- ceding the loss of ground near Ypres, but do not mention having been fore ed, even temporarily, to yield mile of their Festubert stronghold.
 In the east the Austro-German aG- vance continues to swing forward with the exception of the section be- tween the Dniester marshes and Zu- rawna, where the Russians holding the bridge-heads are making some headway.
 Gen. von Mackensen, according to dispatches, has given himself fort night in which to capture Lemberg, and it would seem that, at the rate his and coordinate forces are going forward, this tjme limit will be ample if the Russians are unable to initiate stiffer resistance than they are showing now.
 The latest Zeppelin raid on England has created hardly a ripple of excite ment Aircraft protection was one of the subjects discussed in the House of Commons, William Joynson- Hicks urging a marked increase in this branch. He said that London must soon expect serious raid and added that at one time more than i've Zeppelins of the latest type were over the English coast
 The under-secretary for war, H. ]. Tennant, besides giving assurances that bigger aeroplanes were under construction, said that since the De- ginning of the war the number of ma chimes had been increased tenfold ani the number of men engaged in this branch fivefold.

him he would take care not to betray himself"
 You therefore think he will betray himself?"
 T hope so."
 By the fact that the man was at tackled with an Italian stiletto. it would seem that his assaiiant was a fellow countryman," suggested the detective.
 "The evidence certainly points to that I replied.
 Someone who waited for him on the edge of that wood and stepped out and killed him-thats evident" he said, and my belief is that it was an Ital- ian. There were two foreigners who slept at a common lodging house two nights ago and went on tramp towards Glasgow. We have telegraphed after them and hope we shall find them. Scotsmen or Englishmen never use a knife of that pattern
 T know not whom to suspect" l declared. Tt is a mystery why the man who was once my faithful servant should be enticed to that wood and stabbed to the heart"
 There is no one in the vicinity who knew him?"
 Not to my knowledge"
 We might obtain his address in London through his father in Leg. horn" suggested the officer.
 T will write today if you so desire. J said readily. Indeed, will get my friend the British consul to go round and see the old man and telegraph the address if he obtains it."
 Capital" he declared. If you will do us this favor we shall be greatly indebted to you. It is fortunate that we have established the victims iden. tity-otherwise we might be entirely in the dark. A murdered foreigner is always more or less of mystery"
 Therefore, then and there, I took a sheet of paper and wrote to my old friend Hutcheson at Leghorn, asking him to make immediate inquiry of Olinto's father as to his sons address in London.
 We sat for long time discussing the strange affair. In order to be tray no eagerness to get away, of fered the big Highlander a cigar from my case and we smoked together. The inquiry would be held on the morrow

Handles Grow Crooked.

The Japanese are expert in the pa tient work needed in gardening. and it is from the Japanese farmers on the Pacific coast that most of the wood is sent for use as umbrella handles. Twisted handles were formerly bent by steaming the wood to make it flexible, but the Japanese force the pretzels and other twists in the growing plant which by system of pruning is forced to nourish the dis. torted twigs, the whole process taking three years before they are ready for the manufacturer to strip and polish or to use bark and all.

SYNOPSIS.

The yacht Lola narrowly escapes wreck in Leghorn harbor. Gordon Gregg. locum tenens for the British consul is called upon by Hornby. the Lola's owner. and dimes aboard with him and his friend Hylton Chatter. Aboard the yacht he ac- cidentally sees a room full of arms and ammunition and a torn photograph of a young girl. That night the consul's safe Is robbed and the Lola puts suddenly to sea. The police find that Hornby Is a fraud and the Lola's name a false one. Gregg visits Capt Jack Durnford of the marines aboard his vessel. and is sur prised to learn that Durnford knows, put will not reveal, the mystery of the Lola. Tt concerns a woman" In Lon don Gregg is trapped nearly to his death oy former servant. Olinto. who repents In time to save him. but not to give a req son for his treachery. Visiting in Dum- fries Gregg meets Muriel Leithcourt who is strangely affected at the mention of the Lola Hornby appears. Muriel ir- troduces Hornby as Martin Woodroffe, her fathers friend. Gregg finds that she IS engaged to Woodroffe. Leithcourts &C., tlons and connection with Woodroffe are mysterious. Gregg sees a copy of the torn photograph on the Lola and finds mat the young girl is Muriel's friend Woodroffe disappears. Gregg discovers the body of murdered woman in Ram noch wood

he told me, but as far as the public was concerned the body would remain as that of some person unknown" And you had better not come to my uncle's house, or send anyone l said. If you desire to see me, send me line and l will meet you here in Dumfries. It will be safer" The officer looked at me with those keen eyes of his, and said:
 Really. MT. Gregg. can't quite make you out, I confess. You seem to be apprehensive of your own safety. Why?"
 One never knows whom one of fends when living in Italy" I laughed. as lightly as l could. endeavoring to allay his suspicion. He may have fallen beneath the assassin's knife by giving a small and possibly innocent offense to somebody. Italian methods are not English. you know" By Jove./ sir, and I'm jolly glad they're not!" he said 'I shouldn't think a police officers life is a very safe one among all those secret mur- der societies I've read about"
 "Ah! what you read about them is often very much exaggerated" I as sured him. Tt is the vendetta which is such stain upon the character of the modern Italian; and depend upon it, this affair in Rannoch wood Is the outcome of some revenge or other probably over a love affair"
 But you will assist us. sir?" he urged. "You know the Italian Ian. guage. which will be of great udvan- tage; besides. the victim was your servant"
 Be discreet" said And in return l will do my very utmost to assist you in hunting down the assassin"
 And thus we made our attempt. Half an hour after l was driving in the. dogcart through the pouring rain up the hill out of gray old Dumfries to my uncles house.
 As l descended from the cart and gave 1t over to . groom. old Davis. the butler. came forward, saying in . low voice:
 There's Miss Leithcourt waiting to see you. MT. Gordon. She's in the morning room. and been there an hour. She asked me not to tell anyone else she'a hera sir."
The Spectator., 1915-06-18

walked across the big hall and along the corridor to the room the old man had indicated.
 And as I opened the door and Mu- riel Leithcourt in plain black rose to meet me, plainly saw from her white, haggard countenance that something had happened-that she had been forced by circumstances to come to me in strictest confidence.
 Was she, I wondered, about to re- veal to me the truth?

Destructive starflsh.

Clearing Narragansett bay Of that
voracious enemy Of the oyster, clam
and scallop, the starfish, is one Of the
principal recommendations of the
commissioners Of shell fisheries in the
annual report just presented to the
general assembly. Many acres Of free
ground-17,0 900 acres are exempt by
law-are described as only breeding
places for the starfish, which during
the past year destroyed a million bush
els of oysters besides ravaging the
beds of clans and scallops. So seri-
GUS a menace to the shellish indus
try is the starfish that the revenue of
the state from leased oyster grounds
is being affected. The starfish set
during June and July. Immense num-
bers are found upon seaweed. 1t is
estimated that the starish in one cart
load Of seaweed are capable Of de-
stroying over six million clans in one
week. Raking the seaweed ashore is
one way of killing the stars by the
million.-Providence Bulletin.

WELL CALLED DISMAL SWAMP
Few Spots on Earth More Awe-inspir-
ipg and Forbidding Than This
Desolate Waste.

The very nature Of the famous Dis
nal swamp lends itself easily to the
preservation of weird stories. Always
darkened by the thick growth of over
hanging jungle, with the l~ow-hanging
limbs Of trees clustered with mecca
sins and black snakes summing them
selves, the swamp, eve in its Q
p e reaches, is awe-inspiring, but at
night, when the blackness of the
swamp water mingles with the black
ness Of the night, the minds OF the
simple folk who dwell there are cas-
lily impressed and the mazes OF the
Jungle are peopled with a thousand
phantom forms.
During ante-bellum days, the swamp
was a hiding place for runaway slaves,
who were rarely pursued far, but the
need of escape was desperate indeed
that forced a fugitive into the forbid
ding gloom of this wilderness. Only
the master courage of the chief, Os-
man, permitted a residence there, and
the negroes have been known to sub
nit to capture rather than brave the
unknown terrors of the swamp.
A ghost story of the swamp very
popular before the wal was the tale
of how an army of ghostly workmen
might be seen at night along the site
Of the old canal. These are supposed
to have been the ghosts of the men
employed to dig a drainage canal by
a land company which once under
took to drain the area and in which
George Washington is said to have
been financially interested. This story,
however, had its vogue and is practi-
cally dead by now, although a few OF
the very old and very superstitious
dwellers yet believe it.
The vastness, the mystery and the
danger of the Dismal swamp breed a
host Of terrors which live through gen.
Grafton after generation of the set
tiers, and will probably continue to
live while the great swamp remains a
swamp and its inhabitants are the
same simple-minded, awe-flled people
of the type that lives there today.
