DESTROYED A FLEET.
A WHALE’S REVENGE FOR THE HAR
POONING OF HER CALF.
...
la Her Mad Fary She Saeceeded la
Killing Six Men and Injuring Fifty
Mere aad Splinterinc Fifty Flahina
, Boats.
A widely known and feared devilfish
has its headquarters in the northern
Pacific, mostly along the American
coast, especially affecting the gulf of
California. This huge creature is a
mammal, one of the great whale fam
ily, really a rorqual of medium size and
moderate yield of oil. Only the elite of
the Yankee whalemen, dexterous and
daring as are all the tribe, can hope to
get “to windward” of the diabolically
cunning giants whom they abuse with
such fluent and frequent flow of pictur
esque profanity.
It is a peculiar characteristic of this
animal that it seems ever on the alert,
scarcely exposing for one moment its
broad back above the sea surface when
rising to spout and generally traveling,
unlike all its congeners, not upon, bnt
a few feet below, the water. For this
reason, and in thia fishery alone, the
whalers arm themselves with iron
shafted harpoons, inorder to strike with
greater force and certainty of direction
a whale some distance beneath the sur
faej. A standing order, too, among
them is never by any chance to injure a
calf while the mother lives, since such
an act exposes all and sundry near the
spot to imminent and violent death.
Neglect of this most necessary precau
tion, ,or more probably accident, once
brought about a calamity that befell a
fleet of 13 American whaleahips which
had been engaged in the “bowhead”
fishery among the ice floes of the Arctio
Pacific. In order to waste no time they
came south when winter set in, and by
common consent rendezvoused in Mar
garita bay, Lower California, for a
month or two’s “devil fishing. ”
The whales were exceedingly abun
dant that season, and all the ships were
soon busy with ns much blubber as they
could manage. The ease with which the
whales were being obtained, however,
led to considerable carelessness and for
getfulness of the fact that the whale
never changes its habits. One bright
morning, about three weeks after the
opening of the season, the whole flotilla
of 52 boats, four from each ship, had
been lowered and were making their
way as rapidly as possible to the outly
ing parts of the great bay, keeping a
bright lookout for “fish. ”
Spreading out fanwise, they were get
ting more and more scattered, when
about near the center of the fleet some
one suddenly “struck” and got fast to a
fish, bnt hardly had the intimation been
given when something very like panic
seized upon the crowd. In a moment or
two the reason was apparent. From
some cause, never definitely known, a
harpooner had in striking a large cow
whale transfixed her calf at her side
with his harpoon, killing it immediate
ly-
The mother, having quietly satisfied
herself that her offspring was really
dead, turned upon her aggressors like a
veritable demon of destruction, and
while carefully avoiding exposure of her
body to attack simply spread devasta
tion among the'flotilla. Whenever she
rose to the surface, it was but for a sec
ond, to emit an expiration like the hiss
of a lifting safety and almost al
ways to destroy a boat or complete the
destruction of one already hopelessly
damaged.
Every blow was dealt with an ac
curacy and appearance of premeditation
that filled the superstitions Portuguese,
who formed a good half of the crews,
with dismay—the more so that many of
them could only guess at the original
cause of what was really going on. The
speed of the monstei was so great that
her almost simultaneous appearances at
points widely separated made her seem
übiquitous, and as she gave no chance
whatever for a blow it certainly looked
as if all the boats would be destroyed
seriatam. Not content with dealing one
tremendous blow at a boat and reducing
it at once to a bundle of loose boards,
she renewed her attentions again and
again to the wreckage, as if determined
that the destruction should be complete.
Utter demoralization had seized even
the veterans, and escape was the only
thought governing all action. But the
distance to shore was great, and the
persistence and Vigor of the furious le
viathan, so far from diminishing, seem
ed to increase as the terrible work went
on. At last two boats did succeed in
reaching the beach at a point where it
sloped very gradually. The crews had
hardly leaped overboard to run their
craft np high and dry when close behind
them in the shallows foamed and rolled
their relentless enemy, just too late to
reach them.
Ont of the large number of well
equipped boats that left the ships that
morning only these two escaped undam
aged, and the loss of the season’s work
Was irremediable. Over 50 men were
badly injured, and six, one of whom
was the unhappy origin of the whole
trouble, were killed outright. The tri
umphant avenger of her slain offspring
disappeared as silently as she had car
ried on her deadly warfare, as far as
could be known unhurt, and with an
accumulated hoard of experience that
would if possible render her more of a
“devil” to any unsuspecting whalemen ,
who should hereafter have the misfor
ftine to meet with and attack her than
she had proved herself to be already.
Dejected and crippled, the fleet lost no
time in getting away from the spot and
fleeing north to San Francisco, there to
refit for other and more profitable fish
ing grounds.—Cornhill Magazine.

ALT VEIN THE GRAVE.
THE CHANCES FOR SUCH A FATE ARE
EXTREMELY REMOTE.
In Times of Plague and Pertiianoe the
Greatest Danger of Premature Burla!
Exists—The Death Test That la Applied
In Vienna.
Most of us have a lingering love of
life, and the thought that there is just
the barest possibility of being buried
alive sends a shudder through us.
Medical men know that the human
body in time of illness and at other
times, too, is liable to assume all the
outward appearances of death without
the final separation having actually
taken place. There are the coma, cata
leptic and other forms of the uncon
scious state, each one bringing in its
trend the very simulation of death itself.
‘‘Happily, a medical man nowadays, ”
said a physician to a reporter, “expe
rienoes no difficulty in declaring his pa
tient to be dead, as a general rule, but
it may perhaps happen onoe in his life
time that he may have a doubt, in
which case conviction either way fol
lows upon his findings, -which are sim
ple and conclusive, and in which he
cannot be mistaken.
“It is unfortunately true that there
are thousands of nervous people now
walking about in fear of being buried
alive, this morbid conviction coming
about through reading of an isolated
case happening here and there, where
perhaps some one has had a narrow es
cape of being subjected to a living burial
“These ‘escapes’ greatly outnumber
those of the actual occurrence itself.
The cataleptic usually show signs of
life just in the nick of time to disap
point the undertakers and to relieve sor
rowing friends.
“Os course, much of the evidence on
which the allegation of premature
burial is based depends on the fact that
bodies on exhumation have been occa
sionally found distorted, thereby foster
ing the notion that this or that occu
pant of the coffin has died from suffo
cation, a theory which is supported by
the favorable condition of other ex
humed bodies.
“But the idea is altogether wrong, in
fact and in principle. It is well known
among those who have made it a study
that the apparent distortions, instead
of demonstrating a living burial, pure
ly depend upon natural causes brought
about by decomposition, the influence
of which is sufficiently strong enough
to bulge out, and even burst, leaden
coffins. This phenomenon does not hap
pen in every case, but it does in a great
many.
"No, no! I shall not go so far as to
say that a premature burial has never
taken place, but it has not occurred so
often as is thought. I dare say it may
occur in times of plagues and pesti
lences, where the presumed dead are
buried within a few hours of death.
That is where much mischief lies. But
when panic prevails where does thought
come in?
“In plagues, such as cholera, the
state of collapse is so profound that it
may perfectly simulate death Itself, but
the custom of burying the dead on the
day of death is fortunately on the wane,
even during advanced epidemics. It is
probable that in the absence of medical
aid in panic times in country places
abroad it has led to living burial—in
deed it must have done. But the last
end of all under such conditions is mer
ciful, for it must not be forgotten that
if you are ‘unconscious’ only while be
ing hermetically sealed in your coffin
you will never again experience volun
tary motion or sensation.
“However, where the doctor can be
consulted, living burial is impassible
even in . cholera panic, for there are
certain bodily movements which gener
ally occur after death from cholera, in
the absence of which a medical man
■would hesitate to certify for burial.
“In ages gone by and in uncivilized
countries still it is possible that uncon
scious cataleptics, or persons drugged to
appa at death, may have been and
perha s still are occasionally buried
alive, but I do not believe that in our
own country or in any civilized land
such events are possible.
“In Vienna the custom prevails of
taking a body to the mortuary on the
eve of burial, where it is ‘tested.’
Thimbles are placed on the fingers of
the dead, to which are attached wires
connected with the mortuary bills.
“Have the bells ever rung? YtJ, once,
“It is impossible for a doctor to mis
take unconsciousness in its varied forms
for death.
“Some time ago it was suggested that
a law should be passed making it com
pulsory for a medical man to test bodies
before giving a certificate of death.
Testing by electricity was thought of,
bnt it is an open question yet whether
electricity kills or only stuns. At all
events, we in this oountiy are not con
vinced that such a test would be satis
factory or afford sufficient evidence of
death, although it has its value. On the
other hand, I don’t think legislation of
this kind is necessary. It would cer
tainly reflect upon the medical profes
sion.

THEY GAVE THE BALLS.
And the People Danced to Pay the DebU
of Louis XXV.
In 1712LouisXIV favored the Opera,
then established in the first salle of the
Palais Royal (there have been two)
with a special mansion for the better
accommodation of its administration,
archives and rehearsals. This hotel it
situated in the Rue Nicaise. The build
ing was generally designated under the
name of “Magaaia, ” whence the term
“Fillea du Magasin” (not “de maga
sin”) subsequently not only to the fe
male choristers and supers, but the fe
male dancers themselves. It so happen
ed that the king forgot to pay his archi
tects and workmen. In order to satisfy
them the Chevalier de Bouillon conceiv
ed the idea of giving balls in the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension of 6,000 franca. Hewai
paid, but the king’s debtors were not,
for, although the letters patent were
granted somewhere about the beginning
of 1718, not a single ball had been given
when the most magnificent of the Bour
bon sovereigns descended to his grave.
One day, shortly after his death,
d’Argenson, the then lieutenant of po
lice, was talking to Louis* nephew,
Philippe d’Orleans, the regent. “Mon
seigneur,” he said, “there are people
who go about yelling that his majesty
of blessed memory was a bankrupt and
a thief. I’ll have them arrested and
have them flung into some deep under
ground dungeon.” “You don’t know
what you are talking about,” waa the
answer. “Those people must be paid,
and then they’ll cease to bellow. " “But
how, monseigneur?” “Let’s give the
balls that were projected by Bouillon. *'
So said, so done, and the people danced
to pay Louis XTV’s debts, as, according
to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charles
Il’s coffers:
The king’s most faithful subjects we
In ’s service are not dull.
We drink to show our loyalty
And make his eoffers full.

Chesterfield Superficiality.
Chesterfield’s idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise of
solid acquirement and genuine princi
ple is always coupled with the assertion
of their entire inutility if unaccompa
nied by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration of their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity; their value to the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned to his skill in using them
in a social form.
In one of his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: “What an advan
tage has a graceful speaker with gen
teel motions, a handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as mnch good
sense, but who is destitute of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
of them! If you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use to you. By manners I mean engag
ing, insinuating, shining manners, a
distinguished politeness, an almost ir
resistible address, a superior graceful
ness in all you say and do. ” He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes so far as to declare that a soldier
is a brute, a scholar, a pedant and a
philosopher, a cynic without good breed
ing.—Gentleman’s Magazine.
A Former Chinese Fleet.
It consisted chiefly of old junks which
had not been in the water for more than
30 years. During this lengthened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
tram the long exposure to the sun and
tain, the paint had peeled from their
sides, and, in some cases, the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.
