WHALING IN NEW SEAS.
A Prospecting: Cruise in the Ant
arctic Ocean.
w CJround to He Sourht on Ac
count of the l.rowlnjr Scarcity
of Whalebone In Our
Market.
The bark Oayhead, of this city, is on
her way to the southern seas on an ex
pod it ion the like of which has not Wn
undertaken since 171, says the San
I'raneiseo Chronicle.
In that year the IJriti.sh man-of-war
Challenger was s'iit on an exploration
to the Antarctic, to ascertain whetlier
or not there was a field there for the
catch of whales, and she returned with
an adverse rejiort.
Si nee that date many thousand ves
sels have doubled t"aie Horn an.l fre
qiientlv have been driven many decrees
further south than was absolutelv
neeessarv to make the trip, Invariably
they have reported a number of schools
of whales encountered on their voy
ages. Iiy reason of these reports the
whalers of Kiifrland and Ameriea have
felt obliged to doubt the accuracy of
the Challengers report, but in the
twentv-two years whieh have elapsed
sinee then m one has had the dariin,'
or enterprise to undertake a personal
nirvey of the waters until the present
time.
In October last the C.a.vhead was
started from New Ned ford with in
Mructions to spend a couple of years in
the Antarctic, where she is to skirt the
ice tloe as far south as she can possibly
reach. She is to lish for whales ami
see if a new hunting ground cannot be
opened to commerce. The (Jay head
will extend her vovajre over what is
called the New ISedford whalinff cruise,
that ordinarily lusts one year, but that
will keep her out uboiit three years this
time.
The route calls her to pass St. Helena
and skirt Indium's land, from where
she will sail for Australian waters ami
then (ro north. tak'iii7 in the Japanese
waters, Itehrinr sea and the Arctic
ocean. San Francisco will le reached
about October. I '..
The fact of the mattter. anil the one
point that has caused this extended ex
ploration trip of the liavliea.l, is that
the hunt injr grounds in the nort h are
jrivinrr out very rapidly, and the
whalers have virtually ceased fishing
in Ilatlin's bay. Davis strait ami in the
Spitzbcr-ren whalinj,' rroitnd. The
"riyrhf anil "bow head"' whales, which
are more desirable on account of the
bone they produce, are virtually ex
tiuct in these waters, ami the whaling
licet now push on to Itehrinj,' sea,
Okhotsk sea. and the Arctic proper.
It is a fact that whalcttone and ivory
are two animal products which art or
.science have not been able to repro
duce. In the iwkI days of plenty
whalebone sold at one dollar and a
half a pound: its price to-day is six dol
lars. That pivesa fair idea of how the
supply has diminished in the last ten
years.
Little is known of the waters south
of seventy decrees south as compared
to the knowledge had of the waters
north of latitude seventy degrees
north. Next to nothing is known re
naming' the Antarctic ocean, and the
hope is entertained that the present
expedition .will develop u new tield to
replace the old one that is dying out.
At the present time an Knglish and
Scotch company is building three ves
sels at Dundee for the purpose of send
ing them into the Antarctic for whales.
It is not unlikely, therefore, that in a
few years the whaling Heet that sails
out of this port will steer south after
leaving the Hawaiian grounds, instead
of going north, as they do at present.
RECREATIONS OF GREAT MEN.
Simple Inventions ot Militia Storeil with
Learning.
The favorite recreation of Pope's leis
ure hours was the society of painters.
Nothing was more agreeable to the
poet, s.uys Chandlers' Journal, than to
spend an occasional evening with his
friend Kneller, who. to use the words
of Thackeray, "bragged more, spelt
worse and painted Wtter than any ar
tist of his d:iy." Warburton tells an
amusing anecdote of the two friends.
Mi. Pope was with Sir 1 lodfrcy Kneller
one day when his nephew, a tSuinea
trader, c;une in. "Nephew." said Sir
O.tdfrey, "you have the honor of seeing
the two greatest men in the world."
"I don't know how great you may 1h"
said the C.uinca man, "but I don't like
your looks. I have often bought a man
much ltetter than both of you together,
all muscles and Imncs, for ten guineas."
Sir Joshua UeynoM used to ainu e
hinelf in his last days in bis house in
Leicester stpiarc with a little tame
bird, which, like t,he favorite spider of
of the prisoner in the rlislille, often
served to while away a lonely hour.
Hut this proved a Meeting pleasure, for
one summer morning, the window of
the chamber Wing by accident left
open, the little favorite Uok tliglit.
and was iivwoverably lost, although
its master wandered for hours in the
squaic ami nciiiliorhootl in the fruit
less endeavor to regain it.
GAMING IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
lhnMlh r .irlii.M.-n ;ante of That
Time.
Oamhling was the curse of the noble,
as it h;is always been the curse of every
ci;'.s-s trained to win. and to desire, hut
with scai.t outlet for its energies. The
knights in winter gambled pretty near
ly all day. We rcmcmlicr. says the
Contemporary Keview. how the servitor
of Mihiii, enteiiiig a castle in the morn
ing, find:; in the great hall two knights
playing chess, so absorbed that tin y do
not see him "When Kast. r
comes," say the knights to Milnn, "we
will recommence our tournaments." but
until Kaster there is no rival to their
panics of chance except the eternal
game of love.
Chess was the baccarat, the poker of
the middle ages. In vain the king for
bade it in i:u;:. in and lth lefore
and after, with every trame of hurard.
Country lit-tit Iciiutn'a Surprlae.
A story is told of a gentleman in the
King's county, Kngland. who died onlv
the other day full of years ad um.
ors. When Mr. Mixney of "the Doon"
paid his first visit to London very long
airo perhaps in the forties he found
himself with a checkbook, but no cash:
and to put an end to the situation he
turned into a well known bank, filled
up a cheek, and presented it to the
cashier, who told hiiu that he would
be delighted to pay it if properly
dorsed. or if he were vouched for
in
by one of their clients. This could
not
le done offhand, and Mr. Moonev.
who was quit a personage in his coun
ty, representing a fair estate and
a good family, added: "Hut I'm Moon
eyof the Doon!" Ilowovcr, the cash
ier, who in his way was a wit, regret
ted that he did not know such a gentle
man, and that even if he were "D.Kiney
of the Moon" he could not comply with
his request.

The largest and likewise the best

out of the Salt river. '011 the south side,
near the month of the Verde, and, as
desertlied by the California;!, is a mar

and one-half miles it passes t liroierh an

the depth of one hundred feet. Aftr

in that portion of the .lesert are ob

but the lar-rcr one is perfect !y (list inet

with an average depth of twelve feet.

UNDERGROUND AVALANCHES.
Evldenc-ea of Kubtt-rratMaa Cuavulaluua
A iuiuic ih Mountain of I'ennay Ivanla.
The curious phenomenon formerly
excitiug' the wonder of people livlnff iu
the vicinity of Thick llead and Sand
mountains houth of Tusseyville, t'vn
t r i-ouiity, I'a., which has not heen
nut iced for Cve years, has made iti pres
ence known aain. For twelve year.i. at
irregular intervals, the dwellers in that
part of Center county had been dis
turbed by lu l and mysterious noises
wliit h came from the gTound U'twwu
t!ie two mouutains named. In the
spring of ISss these noises were heard
daily, with increased volume, for a
week. The lioi.es, according to the
Chicago lleruld, were sometimes like
the rumble of distant thunder and then
like the leadened crash of thuniler
heard in the air i-lose by. On the sev
enth day of this protracted disturbance
beneath these two mountains a resi-d.-nt
of Tiis?yville was climbing
Thick lkad mountain, when the
rumbling' bfran in the mountain op
Misite. At fir. t it was deep ami low,
and it increased in violence until it le-caint-
as the tumult of a mass of rock
rolling down a mountain side. The
jH-r-in who heard the sounds said that
they convinced him that they were
cau-d by a subUrrancan avalanche,
as it 1 ctfau at the very top of the
ui.iiL.tair. increasing' in violence anl
p.-cd as it went down, and terminat
ing in a terrible crash at the bottom.
A ik r that 4lay tiie Thick Head uoit-s
cca: cd, ami w-re not heard ag-ain until
a week ajro, when they bepau jutt as
they had terminated in a Minilar sub
U rranean land or rock slide, except
that this time the hidden avalanche oc
curred ouiewhere in the depth of
Thick Ileail mountain, instead of in
Suiiti mountain. In I 'otter count 3, I'a.,
between Uoulette and llurtville, is a
hill in which rumblinp-s of the same
nature are heard at irregular inter
vals. This elevation is called Thunder
hill, aud it rises from the south bank
of the Allegheny river. The noises
that occur iu this hill sometimes make
the earth tremble for a long distance
around, and they have been heard for
a mile away. 1 he theory of local i-.av-ants
i.. that a strong vein of natural gas
underlies the hill, and that when the
LTeat retort is disturbed by some un-
dcrjrrouud convulsion it rises in its
mijlit and tumbles rocks and things
around in the eontinus of the hill until
everything1 hums. Still no- one has cou-tjih-mre
enough in this theory to haaul
out the iu.iiey that is Wing asked for
to send a drill down into the alleged
gas cauldron, let out its treasure and
m-.ke everybody in that bailiwick ritih.
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
No Trace of IVrwkae In t he Uvepeat of
the IKilu ii Dcptn.
All extraordinary circumstance that
ha-; been noticed with interest and
that always creates surpris when first
learned Li the entire absence of foreign
matter in the dHpcst part of the
ocean's lloor. Of all the vessels lost in
mid-ocean; of all the human tein;fr.
that have been drowned; of all the
marine animals tnat nave perished; of
nil the clay. &and and gravel let fall by
dissolving icebergs; of all the va
rious substanoes drifted ftm everj"
bhore by shifting currents, no trace
remains, but in their place water from
one thousand to twent"-five hundred
fathoms in depth covers the uniform
deposit of thick, bluish, tenacious
slime ca'led globigerina ooze, says the
Cosmopolitan Magazine.
A bit of this under a powerful lens
is declared to be a revelation of beautj
not readily forgotten. The ooze is
composed aliust entirely of the dain
tiest, most delicately beautiful shells
imaginable. At depths greater than
twenty-tive hundred fathoms the bot
tom of the sea consists mainly of prod
uct arising from exposure, for almost
iiK-alculable periods, to the chemical
action of sea water, of pumice and
other volcanic matters.
This tiually results in the formation
of red clay deposits that are considered
characteristic of the profoundest
depths of the ocean. Carbonate of
lime, whiuh in the form of shells of
foraminifera makes up so large a part
of the globigerina ooze, is here almost
entirely absent.
S4d.i water is very nearly a universal
bolvent. and before any shell, large or
small, reaches tLe bottom of these tre
mendous abysms it is chemically eaten
up. literally dissolve! a result which
the enormous pressure of the water
must materially hasten.
At one thousand fathoms the weight
of the water pressure on-all sides of
an object immersed to that depth is
very nearlj" one ton to the square inch,
or more than one hundred times that
sustained at the sea level, and at th-'
greatest ih-pth the pressure is so in
creased that it would seem nothing
coiil. I withstand it; iu fact, heavy
metal cylinders let down with the
sounding apparatus are sometimes, on
Wing drawn up again to the surface,
found bent aud collapsed; stronfrly
made glass vessels which the metal in
closed are shattered into fragments.
NAPOLEONS DREAM.
How the Emperor Iropo4tel to favaxle
f- ngla u.
Napoleon frequently spoke of the in
vasion of Kngland; that he never in
teiitled to attempt it v ithout a su
periority of fleet to protect the flotilla.
This superiority would have been at
tained for a few days by leading our
4ut Ut the West Indies and suddenly r
turning. If the French fleet arrived iu
the channel three or four day before
ours it would be sullicient. The flotilla
would immediately push out, aeeom
pauied by the fleet, and the landing
might take place on any part of the
coast, as he would march direct to Lon
don. He preferred, says the Centu-,
the coast of Kent, but that must have
depended on wind and weather. Ile
would liave placed himself at the d.s
posal of naval officer aud pilots to
land the troops wherever they thought
they could do so w ith the greatest se
curity and in the least time. Ile had
one million men, and each of the flotilla
hail boats to land them. Artillery aud
cavalry would soon have followed, and
the w hole could have reached London
in three days. He armed the flotilla
merely to lead us U suppose that he in
tended it to fight its way across the
channel. It was oul to deceive us.
It was observed that we expected to
be treated w ith great severity iucase of
hi succeeding, and he was asked w hat
he would have done bad lie arrived in
I.udou. He said it was a dinicult
question to answer, for a people with
spirit and energy like the English were
not to be subdued even by taking the
capital. He would certainly have sep
arated Ireland from Great Uritain, and
the octur.yin,? of the capital would
have been a deathblow to our funds,
credit and commerce. He asked me to
say frankly whether we were not
alarmed at his preparations for invad
ing England
