WAS ELIZABETH A BOY?
i:'(QHAM' STOKER REVIVES AN
ANCIENT TRADITION.
WHALES OF IRISH COAST.
The Different Species -Curious Uses
of Whalebone.
A whale fishery was established
some years ago on tho west coast of
Ireland. Four steamers aro now em-
ployed in this industry, and during
the past two years 124 whales have
been caught. Ten years ago these
animals were looked upon as interest-
ing stragglers rather than as native
mammals. Tho idea of a whale fish-
ery on the Irish coast would have
seemed absurd to most people. Now
two companies are at work. the Aran•
moro Whaling Co. on lnishkea and
the Blacksotl Whaling Co. at Elly
Point, both in County Mayo.
From a scientific point of view the
chief interest in these fisheries. as
Dr. Scharff points out, is the insight
thus given into the natural history of
these mammals, which could scarce-
ly be obtained in any other way.
"Nothing short of capturing a whale,"
ho says. "will enable us to identify
it satisfactorily." Tho old list of Irish
whalebone whales included five spe-
cies. the southern right whale. hump-
backed whale, Sibbuld's rorqual, com-
mon rorqual and lesser rorqual.
Tho captures of the whaling com-
panies seem to throw doubt on the
first named, for all the right whales
captured by theist seem to have been
the northern right whale. They have
also added to tho list the northern
rorqual. The Irish list of whalebone
whales now contains seven species.
"f which the southern right whale is
doubtful.
Whales may be divided into two
well defined groups, the whalebone
whales and the toothed whales. Of the
latter the Irish list contains the sperm
whale, tho bottle -nosed whale and the
beaked whale. The former group.
though toothless when adult. starts
life with rudimentary teeth. These
are replaced by "a horny substance
which brows from tho upper jaw in
long sheets of triangular plates."
These aro attached to the roof of the
mouth and forth that familiar article
whalebone.
Some people, declared 1)r. Scharff,
;till persist in believing that whale-
bone is trade of whale's ribs, and
others that it comes from the tail.
The function of whalebone in the lite
of the whale is primary importance.
The inner edges of the whalebone
plates are frayed into innumerable
hairlike proce_'ee, and the whsle

English Author, In His Recent Book,
Tells Story That Has Been Current
In the Old Land for Many Years
That "Good Queen Bess" Was
Really an Unknown Boy Substitut-
ed for Princess Elizabeth.
"A great big lubberly boy" is what
Mr. Bram Stoker calls Queen Eliza-
beth in his latest historical book.
"Famous Imposters." Mr. Stoker is
not indulging in any romance of the
"Dracula" order. but is giving an in-
terpretation of certain historical facts,
backed up by a sort of evidence. Calm-
ly ho informs us that Elizabeth was

of ' :.•-r" little flirtations with Essex.

title of Tichborne, and a host of
witches. magicians, fakers, that have
enlivened the pages of history if they
have not illuminated the particular
times and countries in which their
lives ran their course.
Mr. Stoker quotes numerous pas-
sages itt letters, histories, etc., show-
ing that "throughout the early lifts of
Queen Elizabeth there was some se-
cret which she kept religiously guard-
ed." This secret was apparently
known to a \listress :Ashley, the prin-
cess' governess, and was believed to
have sumo connection with Eliza-
beth's repeated and emphatic 11 scver-
ations that she would neve: marry.

tery Mr. St•,ker introduces us to the

Profit In Sea Worn Pebbles.
.1 new industry is being starte.l
in Seaton, England, which will pro-
vide employment for people in the

transacted in sea worn pebbles which
are imported from the French roast
and it is hoped to capture part of
this trade.
Trial orders from several largo us-
ers of tho pebbles are on hand, and
gangs of men are engaged in selecting
the pebbles front the beach at Seaton
PIl•1 the neighboring villages.
