old-Fashioned Harpoon Has Been Dis
carded for the Most Modern Of
Deadly Weapons.

In early days the wooden sailing
ships engaged in the whaling indus
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 finer 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 finely fashioned cannon. the
harpoon carries a shell, and the body
OF the whale is kept afloat by initiating
1t 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 II comes from the
blubber. 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 20
commercial use. The absolutely fresh
flesh Is used to make whale-meat meal.
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, 1915 tons.
The industry gives employment to
about $500 men.-Youth's Companion.

chievously:
Il don't see why he should object in

Handles Grow Crooked.

The Japanese are expert in the pa
tient work needed in gardening. and
II 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
laboriously' by steaming the wood to
make 1t 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.

himself"
You therefore think he will betray

BY the fact that the man was at
tackled with an Italian stiletto. II would
seem that his assailant 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 1t 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"
II know not whom TO suspect" l
declared. IL 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 him7"
mot to my knowledge"
we might obtain his address in
London through his father In Leg

II Will write today II you so desire"
said readily. Indeed. | will get my
friend the British consul to go round
and see the old man and telegraph the

Capital" he declared. III you will
do us this favor we shall be greatly
indebted to you. II 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 a mystery"
Therefore, then and there, took a
sheet of paper and wrote to my old
friend Hutchinson at Leghorn. asking
him to make immediate inquiry of
Oiintos father as to his sons address
In London.
We sat for long time discussing
the strange affair. In order to be.

fered the big Highlander a cigar from
my case and we smoked together. The
inquiry would be held on the morrow.

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"
| said. IF you desire to see me, send
me line and will meet you here
In Dumfries. II will be safer"
The officer looked at me with those
keen eyes of his. and said:
Really. Mr., Gregg, can't quite
make you out. | confess. You seem
to be apprehensive of your own safety.
Why?"
"One never knows whom one Of
tends when living in Italy" | laughed,
as lightly as | 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!S he said. II shouldn't
think police officers life is a very
safe one among all those secret muir
der societies I've read about"
"Ah! what you read about them Is
often very much exaggerated" as
sured him. 1T is the vendetta which
is such a stain upon the character OF
the modern Italian; and depend upon
II. this affair in Rannoch wood is the
outcome OF some revenge or other
probably over love affair"
But you will assist us, sir?" he
urged. you know the Italian Ian
guage. which will be OF great advan.
tage; besides. the victim was your
servant"
BE discreet" said. And In return
| will do my very utmost to assist you
in hunting down the assassin"
And thus we made our attempt.
Half an hour after | was driving In
the dogcart through the pouring rain

butler. came forward. saying In a
low voice:
There's Miss Leithcourt waiting TO

She asked me not to tell anyone else
