DIVE WITH WOUNDED WHALE Japanese “Ride” Their Quarry if It Sinks After the Harpoon Has Done its Work. Japanese whalemen are skilled.and daring in -their profession, often. en: countering a great many dangers. Many give up their lives to accomplish the main thing at iSsue—the capture of the whale. The expert of the whal- ing crew must prove his mettle after the whale has become exhausted from being harpooned. The skilled Japanese jumps on the whale's back, cutting two gashes in the head. Often the animal makes a deep dive, but the little Japanese must hold fast to his quarry and dive also, trusting to his fates that the air sup- ply in his lungs will last as long as the whale’s. The Japanese is safer lrom being drowned than from being crushed by the infuriated animal’'s tail. If the hunter lets go it usually means death, s0 he hangs on to the' diving quarry. Frequently these Wwhalgfuen lose their ! ad lives from drowning, but the members E of their crew look upon this misfor- ¢ ¢ tune with somethlng of a fatalistic re- gard. r Wlien ‘the animal is finally caught and towed to shore the Japanese make huge excavations, penetrating inside the apimal's body as though entering 8 mine shaft or gallery, and.eventu- ally_making® their exit covered with blood. This gruesome sight is looked upon as a matter of course among Japanese whalemen. RESEMBLED AN UNUSED HOME Archeologist Describes Sensation on Entering Egyptian Tomb More 2 Than 3,000 Years Ofd. In February, 1905, an American ex- plorer in Egypt, T. M. Davis, discov- ered the tomb of Yuaa and Thuaa, fa- ther and mother' of - that Queen Tyi whose influence played s¢ great a part in Akhenaten's religious reformation. The tomb was fintact and the ob- Jects it contained were as perfectly preserved as if they had been shut up only a few weeks. One of the arche- ologlsfs described his sensations on entering the place as being very much like thosé of a man who enters a town house which has been shut up for the summer. Armchairs stood about, beautifully carved and decorated with gold, the cushions on one of them, stuffed with down and covered with lnen so perfectly preserved that they might have been sat upon or tossed about without imjury. Two beds of —ar cupied another part of the chamber, while a light chariot in perfect preser- vation stood in a corner. Most star- tiing of all was the discolery of a jar of honey, still liquid and still preserv- ing its characteristic scent after 3,300 years! { Glass Statues. - Evidence that the manufacture of glass in Ceylon is no novelty has been discovered by Dr. P. L. Pleris in the Jaffna peninsula. The doctor dis- coursed on his discoveries at a recemt meeting of the Ceylon branch of the Royal Asiatic society. He declared he had found glass beads and glass fragments which proved the antiquity of the Ceylon gluss industry and which, by their greenish hue, explained, in his opinion, the constant references in ancient Singhalese works to emer- ald statues of Buddhxz, It was quite clear from Dr. Pieris’ description that the statues were not emerald, but were made of green-tinted glass, whieh must have been of local manufacture. The glass beads which he had discovered were all of palpable antiquity. for he had found not only the beads which were bored with three holes converg:, fng inward in the usual fashion, but also heads which were not so per- forated.—Christian Sclence Manitor. Russia’s Small Museumsa. The study of natural history Is en- couraged in some Russian cities by means of miniature museums. They are nothing more than large glass showecases, located in public squares, vacant storerooms and other places where people in large numbers con- gregate or puss. These are filled with specimens taken from the larger ex- hibition places. Pedestrians with a few moments to spare find it profit- able to loiter in front of the conven- fent displays to study the stuffed birds and pnlmals under the glass. The con- tents of the cases are changed weekly, thus providing new and interesting ex- hibits at frequent intervals. Lectures are given at the small museums‘ at noon hours and on holidays. Ancient Egyptian Confectiqnery. The invention of confectionery, an English writer guesses, is due to Noah, who “first hit on the idea .of boiling down the starch of the wheat and the juice of the grape. The result wis a paste, said to be the original of our present day ‘Turkish delight’ Among the ancient Egyptians whole fruits, particularly figs and dates, were fised for flavoring purposes, the latter es- pecially for preserves and cakes. In old tombs date sweetmeats have been found, also records of honey jellies. The making of confectionery, in fact, goes back 3,400 years, proof of which 18 to be found on the walls of Egyp- tian tombs.” : Prepared for the Wogst.

Chicago, Feb. 9.—‘“Never marty a man to reform him. Make him reform first and marry him after- ward.” This ,advice was given to women in general by Judge Samuel H. Trude, after hearing a case of non-support in which the wife declared she knew of her husband’s ways before she married - him, but that she took a chance, believing her love would make him behave. “It doesn’t work,” observed: the judge, as he placed the husband on a year’s probation. AMERICAN AUTO TRUCKS OUSTING BULL IN BOMBAY (International News Service.) Washington, Feb. 10.—They’re go- ing to ‘“‘can the.bull” in Bombay! Not only that, but American auto trucks are to be used as a means of doing this. . The Bombay Improvement Trust, THE BEMIDJI at the request of its chief engineer, has decided to purchase a large num- ber of one-ton trucks, stating that nearly all his works were being held up on account of the great difficulty in obtaining bullock, carts, and when it was possible to obtain them, the price charged was so exhorbitant that the cost of conveyance was double the price of the material carried. He said the trucks would replace the bullock carts and would be at least 50 per cent cheaper. So if you happen to be in Bombay tering to himself “mooley-pooley” you will know that this is “‘Oh, Hell!” in his native tongue, due to the fact that he is out of a job as chief nurse to a number of Hindoo bulls who have no carts to pull.
