Early one morning while engaged in building new quarters for the light- house keeper at Breaksea island, near Rottnest, Western Australia, the con- tractor and his men noticed a bull whale, with & cow and calf, passing g r or so later—about 9 o'clock, ct—the men were startled by ordinary poise. apparently from the eastern end of the is- a noise unlike anything they had beard Lefore. Dropping their and staring toward the east, beheld such a sight as it falls to lot of few people to witness. gs _& g¥ 8 : fFaiEs f er sharks, The calf was swimming about distractedly. but the old bull had disappeared, baving basely desert- ed his family at the first approach of danger. The sharks, as though acting in ac- cordance with some preconcerted plan, bad completely surrounded the two whales and. apparently realizing that nothing was to be feared from the calf, concentrated all their efforts upon the cow. Again and again they charg- ed In upon her, thelr jaws snapping. tearing at her mighty sides until the was red with blood.

This shows that the night air is not so injurious to the health as many people would have us belleve. The great comet of 1680 is supposed to have been the one that was noticed about the time of Caesar's death, #4 B.

If we could get close to a comet without frightening it away we would tind that we could walk through it anywhere ax we could through the glare of a iorchlight procession. We should so live that we will not be ashamed to look a comet in the eye, however. Let us pay up our newspa- per subscription and lead such lives that when the comet strikes we will be ready. Some worry a good deal about the chances for a big comet to plow into the sun some dark, rainy night and thus bust up the whole universe. | wish that was all | bad to worry about—the comet's crashing into the sun and knocking its daylights out.
