At any rate, it is difficult to find one who has any regard for the old sear lore about which a thousand and one fasâ€" einating stories have been told. Whether the modern steamship has made sailors feel a little less fearful and neore indeâ€" pendent of the forces of nature, says a writer in T.â€"B., 1 am scarcely prepared to say; but an old sea captain at Rothâ€" orhit{o actually laughed when I asked him if he was afraid of carrying a cat on board or sneezing on the left side of the ship. Many of the Romances of the Sea Have Vanished. The logical conclusion is that it beâ€" came entangled during the laying of the eable, eight months before, when there was a considerable length of it in susâ€" pension. The twisted condition of the stiff and heavy cable about the enimal shows that the energy expended in the vain effort to free itself must have been enormous. Since, from what we know of air breathing animals, it is unlikely that the whale would descend 400 fathoms of its own accord, and as a deep sea cable is not laid very slack, it is doubtful that the whale could have fouled it at the bottom. The deep sea, however, is intensely cold, the temperature being close to the freezing point of fresh water, and the carcase, unless actively attacked by botâ€" tom life, might be expected to last longer than in the warmer surface waters. this cable could have remained eight months without comFIete disintegraâ€" tion or being gradually sonsumed by small forms of life on the bottom. The Valparaisoâ€"Iquique cable was laid on Jan. 27, 1905. At first sight it seems unlikely that the whale entangled in According to the records of whalemen whales have been known to stay under water more than an hour and after beâ€" ing harpooned to have carried out a mile of line before reappearing at the surface, although this does not necessarily mean that the line was carried down vertiâ€" K&Tmfix: â€"ALfL _ ELITE _ DRESSMAKING sCHo0L It is extremely doubtful whether an air breathing animal can go as deep as 400 fathoms, and as that depth is much below the limit of pelagic life, on which most whales feed, it is not likely that the whale would penetrate such a depth. Total darkness, moreover, prevails in depths of 400 fathoms. DRESSMAKING SCHOOL A large whale was brought to the surâ€" face completely entangled in the cable. The stench being unendurable the cable was cut close to the whale and the vessel moved to windward. Tests were made and Valparaiso spokâ€" en. The ship made four soundings in the vicinity which showed a depth of 415 fathoms ,2,490 feet, nearly half a mile). The cable was hove up, cut and tested to lctuiuqe. The end was buoyed, and the ship, grapling further out, picked up the cable, which came in badly twisted and with increasing strain. When the trouble with the cable was discovered tests from Valparaiso and Iquique placed the break about thirteen miles from the latter place. On Aug. 16 the Faraday left Iquique for the position of the break and began grappling in 342 fathoms, with 5CO {athoms of rope out. If the whale came to the surface to blow, he must have held two or three miles of cable in suspension. This, howâ€" evar, is unlikely, since it had four turns of the cable around its body, one being in its mouth. The cable in which the whale was enâ€" tangled weighed in air, while wet, 1,715 tons aer nautical mile and had a breakâ€" ing strain of 6.06 tons. The weight in uft water was 1,005 tons per nautical ‘These inquiries were prompted by an interruption of the submarine cable beâ€" tween Iquique and Valparaiso, Chile, which oceurred on Aug. 14 last and which was caused by a iarge whale that was afterward drawn to tfl surface by the repair steamer Faraday from a depth of 400 fathoms. An article in the New York Zoological Society‘s Bulletin for April, an aquarium number, from which the above facts are taken, continues: In November last an officer of the Cenâ€" tral and South American {elegraph Comâ€" pany called on the director of the New York fiwlu with a letter from the engimeer of the company, who desired to know to what depth a whale could descend and whether an air breathâ€" ing mammal could stand a water presâ€" sure of nearly half a ton to the square P. 0.

The best bed is an iron bedstcad, a hair mattress, no curtains or vallance, very light blankets for a covering, as weak patients are always distressed by weight in bedclothes. Cleanliness of the skin in almost all diseases is of the utmost importance. Care should be taken in sponging or washing not to expose too great a surâ€" face at once so as to check perspiration. Never allow a patient to be waked out of sleep, either intentionally or accidentâ€" auly, as this does serious nuarmn. Do not whisper or walk on tiptoe, as this is peculiarly painful to the sick. Remember never to lean against, sit uion, shake or even touch the bed »pon which your patient lies; this is always an annoyance.
