Tlio story of a wlialo as told by
Mate Sclilaikorof tho good ship Am1
rum is as follows:
"Tho Amrum loft Progrcso, Mex
ico, with a cargo of lioiup, bound for
( this port. For tho first fow days out
; wo had such dolightful woathor that
J thoso of tho crow who wero super!
stitious declared that something ro!
markablo would liap])en hoforo wo
i roacliod port.
"Tho officors, of course, paid no
j attention to thoni until wo ran into
, heavy northeast winds and seas that
ran mountains high. Then wo be|
gan to think that perhaps tlicy woro'j
right, and wo felt that tho rcmarkablo
thing had happened after 0110 Of
| the soamon was washed from the
top of tho dockhouso by r. hugo
| comber that broke over us and was
; carried tho entire length of tho ship,
210 feet, and 3 inches, without being
seriously hurt.
"That in itsolf was remarkable,
hut it was nothing as compared to
an occurrence on Dee. H, wlion wo'
ran upon what tho lookout thought
j was an unmarked island, hut what
wo found to bo only a school of
whalos.
I "I've soon whalos before, but I
! novor saw such a sight as I saw that
i day.

tion jnst before going to dinner, at
j noon, I found that wo wove in latiI
tudo 31 decrees 41 minutes and lon'
gitudo 1? degrees 31 minutes.
I "I had just seated myself at tho
[dinner tablo with the other oilieors.
J when tbo ship received a blow that
shook her from stein to stern, and
threw us from our chairs. Then tho
shij) censed to move forward and wo
I woro filled with consternation.
44 'Derelict!' some ono shouted,
! and wo nil ran on dock, not knowifog
what had happened tons. Vo found
' tho crow all forward, so;no busy
with tho lookout and others looking
over tho how into tho water.
f "Tho vessol was covered with
blood from tho fore risrgin t to Iho
i bridge, and tho lookout appeared as
though ho had boon bathed in it.
' "Iran to his assist unco, ami as I
did so another great fountain cf
j blood coino over tho bows. It was
. from a whale that wo had struck.
| Tho whale was spoutin" gallons of
! blood, and as I looked : r 1 iin, f saw
that wo had hit hini broadido on
I and had cut a front rash in his -ide,
the blood from which h id discolored
; tlio water for hundreds of feet
around.
j "Ho was the largest whnl ' that I ;

ho was I had no means < f lino viny, i
for, as ho went under our starboard
bow and disappear d v.o forced
ahead again and right int)the midst
of a school of whalos tuat was so
compact that (mo mi iht havo step]>ed
upon their bar .:s and walked
from ono to another without vottinpr
his feet.
"It was a most reninrkablo sight,
and one that, is rarely s>? u.
"Just as wo reaohed the whales
tlic-y all apontoil and went out of
sight. The water that they threw
into tho air with lb ir immense
11 ukes e ino upon tho deck and mingled
with the blood of their poor,
unfortunate ma1o, who undoubtedly
was asleep when ve stria k liini.
"Tlicy arose all around us, and in
anger thrashed the water until it
was covered with red foam. Sn:no
of thoni followed us for a long distance,
but none charged on our sliip,
as we thought that, thev might do.
"You cjiii appreciate tin* force of
the ship's compact with the whnlo
when 1 ti ll you that we were fo red
backward, although running eight
knots an hour when we struck.
"The blood that covert 1 the
bridge and everything forward of it
we were two days in removing, and
I dart? say that even then we did not
get it all oil'.
"It was a most wonderful e\p>. rienee,

Showing the Ability of a Hoamuinbullat U
t'ne Ilia Ejm.
A Star writer was asking tlio A>liyBioian
a great many questions and
getting answers to them, while tlio
physician wasn't getting a cent of
pay for tlio part bo was performing.
1 "By tbo way," inquired Tlio Star
man, "do you iliiuk that a somnambulist
can soo?"
"Do you mean when bo is awako
or when bo is somnambulizing, so
to speak?" smiled tbo physician.
"While bo is somnambulizing, of
courso. I'm not talking about blind
men."
"Well, I won't answer your question
directly, but I'll tell you a story
which may go as an answer. About
ten years ago I bad a roommate, a
young fellow who was a student in
tbo medical college, and a bright
young fellow bo was too. llo was
fond of shooting, and to keep up bis
. practieo bo bad a fmo nirgun, and bo
i converted tbo ball 011 tlio third floor,
which wo occupied, into a shooting
gnllerj'. I used to tako a hand myself
every timo I bad a chance, and
-sometimes for an hour at a timo bo
wouut oo Hanging nway at tlio target
lio hud fixed at the far end of the
hall.
"Ono morning I en mo in from a
patient's ahout iJ o'clock and found
1 tlio whole upper story dark. I lit
tho gas in tlio front room, which wo
used as a sitting room, and was
| about to go out and light tlio gas in
tho liall, when tho young fellow
1 camo walking in from our sleeping
i room, attired in his nightclothes,
. and with Ins eyes wide open. I spoko
to hhn, thinking something was tho
matter with him, hut ho did not an
; swer, and in a minute I sav? that ho
was walkirg in his sleep.
"This was not altogether unusual
with him, hut I had never caught
him in tho act before and concluded
I would watoh hint. lio camo diI
rectiy across tho room, going around
j a oh lir end a table that stood in liis
; path, and opening a drawer whore
lie kept tho uirgun ho took it oat,
; and then ho loaded it, get'dug tlio
| small builots wo ttscd out < f a box
, on tho mantelpiooo. This box lio
! stuck into what would li ivo been
hi.5 (oat pocket, if ho had had a coat
| on, but as i 10 hadn't tlio box fell to
tho floor, which ho took no roto of.
I "T .en ho went into tlio da k hail,
; care lull y avoiding .ill fui .i: are in
his way, a id gring ae rt-.light to
i tlio door as it' ho had Ik en a v. nke. 3

, ball, and when Imbed icached tho
' visk i point lrom wnic-i w > out oar
I firii y 3jo stopp-.d, took carolul n'tn
and 1'/ I. The slight sn :p an i shock
of Y ?n scorned toha\o quito a
diij ? e feet than either mv voico
or in. viylit liyi.t in thorn on, for
en thohnsvant bo dropped the p1 11,
made a half stop forward and 1V11
into iry arms, just oho it as lio
would have fallen out of bo I if bo
bad w deed suddenly on its 01. go.
''I! * was wide aw a lee in a 111 invito
and began laughing and nshiny mo
what liad happened. I told him, and
wo at oneo lit the gas in th 1 hall and
examined the target. Tho target had
been repainted af ter wo had had our
last praetico, so that we could scj
plainly who ru his bullet had hit, and
I assure y< u ho had mado almost a
center shot. No v," eonehideu th.
physician, "in the lighted room ho
missed ail tho furniture in hi i way,
and in the thirl: hall ho had hit th ?
target. Do you think ho could sec.
or couldn't be?"
Tlio answer wasn't < uito satisfactory
as an answer, but it made a
problem to wrestle with, and tho
physician kindly can- sited to let

by this wo <1o nci ;t that rho fair j

though slio may loatlio sandwiches
sho fools it licr duty to say, "Well,

The Tadpole In Solonos.
At the closo of tbo last oentnry
Gnlvani astonished tbo world with
tbo experiments ho porformod on .
frogs. There is no doubt but.wbat
bis work, as far as tbo development of
engineering was conoerned, almost
retarded the progress, at least for a
very short time, but he has opened
a field which to future generations
may hoof as much, possibly of more,
importanco than all the practical applications
of olootrioity today. We
rofor to tho physiological cifoots of
the oloctrio ourronts.
Now, as wo approach tho end of
anothor century, another experiment
on tadpoles lias boon mado, which
in our minds' eyemny have tremendous
consequenco. Dr. Wallor has
observed that tadpoles face the positive
pole when an clectrio ourrent is
sont through tho trough in wbioh
they live. This is cortainly a re.
markable fact, and wo hop? sinoerely
that this matter may not be taken
up as a matter of ridiouloorof play,
for thoro may bo hidden in this
simple experimental fact a vast deal
of knowledge; not that wo want to
prophesy, but on tho face of it it
does not soem impossible that this
simpin fact should bo tho commence- i
ment of a knowlcdgo of olootro-pbysiologv,
which in 100 years from t
now might in perfection he sooond
to not to of our descriptive soionces.
