signally failed of their object.

This failure Is chiefly duo to the treatment of the ereaturo as an object of international litigation, not as an animal having habits end prejudices to which International statutes must conform If they an to serve any purpose. In the com premia* adopted ly the tribunal wrre embodied certain propositions, apparently fair from the legal side of tho can. but wholly re pngnant to the animal. The only possible Inals for a final arrangement for the protection and preservation of the fur eoal must conform piTfectly to Its habits. Thai such a settlement must finally bo made admits of no doubt. It is no* to be suppond for a moment that England, Russia and the United States will fall to eottle so simple a problem, or that these groat nations are so weak or so barbarous as to allow this wonderful animal to bo wasted without mercy, when the conditions of Us

preserve tlon arc fully understood.

To balance land killing against sea killing, to kill with guns In one soa and with ■poors In another, to kill on land In July and at sea In. April and August, to have a closed rone of 60 mile* and an open rons of £00—all these compromises are Ingenious on i®per, and find their precedent In tho chocks and balances of constitutional law, but not In tho facts of natural history. How such regulations affect the aulmal la not to 1« settled by compromise. It Is a question at fact, and any system of regulations must be judged from the standpoint of the animal Itsulf. The whole Bering am dispute belongs primarily to natural history, not to International law. If existing forms of International law fall to protect a noble and valuable animal Its migrations or Its feeding excursions sea, then more International law must written, and tho actual habile of the ai mal must determine the nature of *u

Hen striking examples of the combination than Unit afforded by the captain of a wrecking tng iu New York harbor. HU own account of the affair wet thus set down in the tng's log: ■•Jan. 80—Left Jersey City 7 am. Ice running heavy. Captain Jut-stopped leak in ferryboat" Mr. F. Hnpkiusan Smith, in his “Day ai Lugm-m 's." tolls the story more fully. The Hoboken ferryboat was stopped, midway of it* early passage, by the ice pack. At thi* juncture an ocean tugboat crashed into her side, entting a V shaped gash below the water line. A panic ensued among passengers and crew. Just then the wrecking tug Reliance ran alongside, and Captain Joe Smith jumped on board. He dropped into the engine room, met the engineer half wav up the ladder, compelled him to return, dragged the mattresses from the crew's bunks, stripp.-d off blankets, racks at clothes, overalls cotton waste and rags of carpet. cramming them into the great rent left by the tug's cutwater until the space of each broken plank was replaced except one. Through and over this spaoe the water still combed, deluging the floors and swashing down between the grating* into the bold below. "Another mattress, quick! All gone? A blanket, then — carpet—anything! Quick, for God’s sake!" It was useless. Everything, even to the oil rags, bad been used. Little by little the water gained, bursting out below, then on one side, only to be recalked and only to rush in again. Captain Joe stood a moment ae if undecided, then deliberately tore down the top well of calking be had ao carefully Imilt up, and before the engineer could protest had forced hie own body into the gap. with hie arm ontside, level with the drifting ioe. An hour later the disabled ferryboat was towed into tho Hoboken slip with every soul on board. When they lifted Captain Joe from the wreck, he was unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood, and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist When the color began to cieep back to bis cheeks, he opened bis eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages: Was any of them babies hurt?"

Take competing firms, located next door to another, both having an equal amount of grit and money, and If they arc turned loose with electric signs they eon make tho street hideous and their wares prominent for Mocks in every direction. Two down town theaters are engaged In giving an exhibition ut this kind just now. Ixaled next door to one another, each Is striving to outshine the other, not so much In the quality of entertain men t offered, but in the height and number at the brilliant signs scattered over the front of the building*. The older that ter, tho one first In the Held, had for ysara exhibit cd a collection Ilf advertisements projecting from the trout ul the building out over the sidewalk and shining forth In the night mile cast and west. The second theatrical man opened np next door and at

hnaeo which from e distance would lead icrver to think all the-lights were building. Higher end higher the signs mounted until now the two build- ' ig* are a mass of light every night. If one of those advertiser* still strives to atdo his rival, be might hang out a sign el;-so m the t-rrnlcc, and this would force the other man to erect an arm on the roof 3t his Structure ou which to plane a still higher sign.

Kindly John Osmtord * Cough Clement Scott recalls a pathetic story of the declining days of John Oxenford, for years the leading tbcalriual'critic of London. Mr. Oxenford was tronbled with a serious bronchial affection, which occasionally disturbed the audience, for ho refused to give np his beloved ter. although desperately ill. A certain rising young aetor, who shall bo not loss, though ho has recently boon England after a brilliant career, v very anxious to obtain Oxenford‘s valunblo opinio,, on his work, and the tender heart.vl old gentleman literally left his bed and came down to the theater on bitter rold night to do a good action a clever youngster. In the middle of a of tho actor's finest scenes on came tJ cough from tile Oxenford box. It co tinned so long that it unnerved the a tor, and ho came to a dead stop To the surprise of everybody, he advanced tc the front and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to say that unless the old gentleman with the irritating cough retires tetnpirarily from the theater I really rauuot go oil I forget everything. It is painful so to address you, but I am powerless in the matter, and place myself in your hands." The disturbance at once ceased, and tho box was empty. When the curtain fell, a friend rushed round, and. breathless, said to the distressed actor: "Do K know what you have done? Do you w who it was that you turned out of tho box?" "I neither know nor care, ” was tho reply. "Why, it was John Oxenford!" The actor was.paralyzed, but ho got his good notice all the same. The veteran critic went home coughing to praise the young actor who had turned him out. Artist Preoets. Daniel Chester French has attained tho honor of being the first American artist to whom permission has txen granted to erect an outdoor statue in Europe. The statue will bo of George Washington and will coat *20,000.

FERRYBOATS.

The horse boats between the cities of New York end Brooklyn may be cited as early attempts to solve the problem at transport by water. An Interesting feature of these early oonstructiona waa the tue of a water wheel 19 feet or ao In diameter, with 24 floats, the letter inclined slightly to the radius ao as to avoid the lifting at the water, which Is so troublesome a feature of the radial float. These horse boats appear to have been of three general designs. In the first • frame, shaped somewhat like the letter "A" or an inverted •■U," was mounted to turn around Its vertical axis. Four of these frames, dividing the circle into eight parts, made a sort of skeleton cone, and this cone waa caused to rerolye by eight horse* moving tn a borisfintal circular path about 90 feet In diameter. The face gear, IS feet in diameter, drove a three foot pinion mounted upon the axis on the water wheel shaft and the wheels were within the frame in an opening between half bolls. The second plan was of a nnnloal skeleton frame at an incline of about one in two. so that the bones had to travel up this Inclined surface, causing it to rotate with their weight and CntoIn the third plan—a smaller design— the paddle wheels were brought Into a well between the two half hulls of the boat, catamaran fashion, as In the first arrangement, and the frame was mounted above the wheels, and its rotating motion was transmitted by intermediate idle wheels to the water wheel shaft Boats of the first and second class seem to have been about 76 foot long. It is interesting also to observe that the swinging tiridge for ferryboat service had been. already thought out by Fulton early in this century, with its counterweight construction and it) windlass for making the boats fast. Such boats seem to have drawn a little over two feet of water and to have had perfectly flat bottoms, like scowa—Professor F. R Hutton in Coreler'« Mage
