opinion that the United Stales

steamship organization in the
world, will bo one of the first
European lines to use the Pana

The Beaked Whale.
Some lime ago a specimen of
bayard's beaked whale was found
stranded on the beach near Port
Klizahelh, South Africa. This
liml was one of greal importance
In zoology, because hitherto very
lit lie has been accurately known
concerning this strange inhabi
tant of the ocean.
The specimen found near Port
Elizabeth and since mounted in
the museum there is a male I il
feel two inches long. From the
lower jaw project upward two
tusks with two sharp enameled
teeth. The creature could open
its beak only four or live inches
at the outer end, and its gullet
was so narrow that if is evident
that the animal devoured only
very small lish and seaweed.
The beaked whale is said to
furnish oil of an exceptionally
line quality.

of Babylon (luring I lie reign of
I la in i)i(ii Rabi, about 3330 B. <1.,
divorce with alimony was a com
mon occurrence, according to the
Rev. Samuel A. It. Mercer, of the
Western Theological Seminary,
who has just completed transla
tions of Babylonian cuneiform in
script ions. •
“Prominent members of clubs
figured in divorce courts and
scandals furnished the city with
gossip,” he says. “Having been
granted a divorce a man would
pay alimony lo IBs wife and pub
lish the infornfalion that should
anyone marry the divorcee lie
would not object.”
The Samas-Rabi “case” is
pointed out as one which caused
in all probability a sensation. A
court room scene is described in
which Mrs. Xaramtum Samas
Rabi, handsomely clad in silk and
wearing many diamonds and sap
phires, at a dramatic moment
during the proceedings, and
pointing her index linger at Mr.
Samas-Rabi, cried:
“You are not my husband.”
And then and there the case
was closed, the womlan being
granted the alimony she demand
