The War Cloudy
It never rains but it pours. The

the English tronps on the -Afghan
frontier, and a co'iiwoii is imminent,
which, wMi a combination of circum
stKiicec, mnkps a tlec'.arntioit of war bn

A large gray whale, one of thelarg

boat crew of whalemen lust week,
while liny were lying by a school of
finbacks-, olf the Coast of California.
The monster had a large exereseuce
like a stout horn, about tiireo feet in
I I'g'th, protruding from its forehead,
when stiuuk with a Innce it lashed the
sea into a foam for a few moments and
hen made n dash for th whleboat.
A well directed bomb har poou, how
ever, put an abrupt stop lo its career,
and doubtless saved the lives of th
crew. The body sank so rapid v that
it, became necessary to cut the line to
avoid a second peril.

Eighty Years' of Usefulness-
There ii something ncouraginjj to
vnung niechanices in Ihir fact that a
distinguished rouber of the craft 'has
just completed eighty years, of useful
life and is (till busy. In effort he is a
very young man, for he hopes beyond
his accomplishment, and believes be
yond his possibilities. This old young
man is John Ericsson, the designrr of
the first llonitor for so be will be re
inuiibued in this country and others.
And yet he wtlCbe -considered histori
cally as an Inventor of the locomotive-e'
of a caloric engine, of a screw for'Tnt
driving of vssels, anihposjfibLas the
originator of a "DestroytrVthot in j
add greatly to eur national defenses.
Possibly his solar engine may also add
lu his fame; but he will be held in re
membrance, by tho, a who share his
friendship, as a good man aud pleas
ant friend.
John EricuCon who was born in Swe
den in 1803, his father being a rciuing
proprietor. He vva educated as &
civil engineer and subsequently prac
ticed his profession in England. There
in 1857 he entered a locomotive in
competition with that of George Steph
etisati. In 1S33 he first brought to public
notice his' caloric engine. In 1837 he
coiutructid the first practicable pro
pellor vessel, the Francis B. Osden,
and tho ilifavor with which this was
received by the British Admirality re-i-ulted
in Captain Ericsson's departure
for America in 1839. His record in
America began with his first -8xay in
ar i-hiti building, the Princeton,
which was the first steamship ever
built with machinery protected from
shot by being placed below the water
line. The alory of the Monitor, whieh
revolutionized naval architecture, is
