A Miracle of Science.
Aeroplaning is another miracle of

generation could have understood.
Will the history of the steam locomo

to-day than it was sixty years ago,
though, of course, the train loads are
very different. Will it be so with the

Mate of Codfish Schooner Has Thril
ling Experience While Fishing.
Struck by the tail of a gigantic
whale which smashed hisz dory to kin
dling and threw him almo'st 100 feet
away into the icy sea, Chief Mate Olaf
Wick of the codfish schooner Vega,
brings a thrilling story of his escape
from death in the far north, a Seattle
dispatch to the New York Herald says.
His experience, strange as it sounds,
is confirmed by many persons who
saw the body of the officer hurled
through the air and who later picked
him up as he lay bruised and uncon
scious on the few remaining boards of
his shattered dory.
The Vega, in command of Capt.
Peter Nelson, was lying at anchor in
Behring sea and the chief mate was
alone in his dory one .calm morning
in August, fishing apart from the rest
of- the crew. • A monster whale had
been observed by the men earlier in
the day swimming sportively in the
vicinity,- blowing a mistlike stream
high into the air, or again coming to
the surface and rounding his shining
back with a knifelike dorsal fin out
of the water/as he played and dove
into the glassy sea. Intent on his
fishing, the mate had little warning
of the weird experience he was to un
dergo.
“Suddenly I felt /Something under
the boat,” he said in relating the tale.
“I thought I had struck a rock and
Instantly threw the windlass over
board so she would not sink the boat.
Hardly was it over the side when I
was lifted high in the air as the whale
dove and struck the boat with his tail.
I went up as though a mine had ex
ploded beneath my feet. Around me
were flying bits of wood and tackle
from the boat.
“I cannot tell how far I was thrown,
but it must have been about ninety
feet from the point where the dory
was stationed. I lost consciousness for
a time, I think, for I remember the
shock of striking the cold water,
which seemed to clear my head and
caused me to strike out with arms
and legs to keep afloat.”
The mate swam back to the dory,
which still held a few bottom boards,
and here he was picked up by the
second mate. None of Wick’s bones
were broken by the mishap, but his
body was a mass of bruises and he
was so lame he; could hardly move for
a couple of days.
ABBEY OF SOLESMES.
Treasures of Centuries with Ancient
House to Be Sold.
One of the most famous of the relig-
ibus houses in France is about to be
sold. It is the Benedictine Abbey oi
Splesmes, and what makes the sale
regrettable is that the treasures col
lected with such care during so many
ages are to be dispersed in the literal
sense, for they are to be sold sepa-
rateiy. The abbey , is a magnificent
feudal dwelling full of artistic won-
ders. It is of the pure style of the
thirteenth century, situated about a
mile and a quarter from the little
town of Sarthe. There are sixty hec
tares of- land belonging to the priory,
a hectare being two acres one rood
thirty-four perches, upon which the
monks have bestowed all their energy
Below flows the listless Sarthe, and in
the distance can be seen the little
tower of Sable parish church, pointing
to the skies. Within the precincts the
first objects to note is the chapel, dat
ing from and for the most part of the
thirteenth century, completed in the
sixteenth and seventeenth. The ma
jestic arches are above, in sonibei
niches are priceless sculptures, and
.the windows, a Paris contemporary
tells us, says the London G-ldbe, musl
be seen to form an idea of their beau-
ty The statuary is said td form some
of the finest specimens of the renais-
sance period. The oldest and finest
piece is “Mise au Tombeau,” attrib
uted to Fiegole. Another, piece is “La
Sepulture de la Vierge,” about the end
of the sixteenth century, a purely
French conception. Among the othei
artistic triumphs showered upon the
visitor are “Le Trepassement de Notre
Dame,” “Le Triomphe de Marie” anc
“Jesus parmd les Docteurs.”
