It was se¬ cured for Professor Bnlrd, ol tlio Smithson¬ ian institution. The place where the whale went nshore is the same place where, two - yours ago, the const wus covered with dead fish for miles. Recently slxtpen dead whales were found along the same const. One ol tliem wus said 'o be at least seventy feet long. Thp cause of so many dead fUli going ashore nt that point tins puzzled the scient¬ ists. Professor Biiiud, hearing of tho whales, authorized Gen. Bubcock to expond $100 to get a' skeleton for the Institution. The whales were of u iinvv species of sperm, nnd the skeleton sucured is said to be perfect.' LIFE SAVING SERVICE. A mini named Win. Campbell, fro Kent.

The new slyle of the Providence Steam Capstan Windlass, manufactured by,the American Skip Windlass Company, Is con¬ sidered the tie plut ultra of the machines turned oqt. by this world-wldo known con¬ cern, ami Is being.put on all the now steam¬ ers In process of construction. IttiiiBsevernl prominent advantages over tlio older styles; flrai,'It can be erected on- shipboard in one quarter the time and atone quarter the ex¬ pense, when the engines are hung up under the dock nbove; secondly, the engines being " connected to the bed-plate, and all parts of the Windlass being tied together by the same plate, the whole must always' remain in line; if the dock above twUtsor strains or is entirely crushed In or swept nwny, the Wludluss cun be worked by steam-us efllplentlyas before; thirdly, the engines nre . more-accessible, being nt tho right height ami In most,convenient position possible: the engines, locking gear of Windlass null IV ellon levers being nil within rench; fourth¬ ly, tile Wludluss cun bo set up In the shop, . and every part (Including engines, friction ' stands, deck pipes und bllts) bolted to its place and imlrked, so that when 'set up oil shipboard, each part must come to Its place without trouble or dehvy. These advuiitagos, combined with those ulfeudy possessed by the old style of Steam Windlasses made by this company, would seem to indicate that perfection tind been. . reached, und chut those who really wished" for a first class, simple, reliable and'econo¬ mical Steam Capstan Windlass need go no further In quest of such un appliance. Al¬ most ovory year thls^compaiiy discovers some new und Important Improvement, whereby the value to the user is enluuiccd, and the cost reduced. The appreciation of these products of tlio American Ship Wlud¬ luss Company sho <s Itself in the fact that - lending Canadian shipbuilders and owners lire putting tho American Capstans and Windlasses on their vessels, although they nre nbllgcd to pay 25 per cent, duty on them. This Is it very significant endorsement of the real value of .these appliances, and may be pointed to with some degree of national pride, mid besides- it gives assurance that our Canadian shipping friends are beginning to see ihew-lsdom and economy of purchas¬ ing superior machinery, oven If they nre obliged to pay heavy duty on It, .Merit will tell every time.—Nautical Gazette.
