Famous Coast Whaler Becomes a Movie Ship L«» Angeles.—Conversion into a mo tion-picture ship will be the fate of the picturesque old harkeutine. Nar whal, which for more than forty years was conspicuous in Pacific coast ship ping. and whose romantic history over that period reads like the pages of old time fiction. The Narwhal, built at San Francisco In 1883, Is one of-the finest examples afloat of sailing ship construction, in the view of the shipping men. Imme diately after her launching she was en tered in the whaling industry, in which site remained for many years. Ihiring that time she established many records, both in whale catches and fast cruises. After leaving the pursuit of whales, the craft was used for a number of years in the trade to the South seas. The final voyage of the Narwhal ended last year when she crept into San Francisco harbor from an expedi tion to the South seas. On her oht hound trip from San Francisco, the barkentine disappeared for a period of sixteen months and was recorded as lost at sea. She later appeared at a South sea port, however, bearing sto ries of terrific wind storms. Shortly after easting anchor at San Francisco the Narwhal was sold at auction to satisfy claims, and the mo tion-picture interest that acquired the old-time whaler will move her down the coast to San Pedro. Get* Electric Ray Fish That Could Stun Elephant Danville, Va.—Dr. Bussell J. Coles, tobacconist, whose hobby is deep-sea fishing, and who taught the late Theo dore Kooseveit harpooning of devil fish, has presented to the Museum of Natural History in New York a giant specimen of the electric ray fish. He caught it off Morehead City, N. C. It weighed 1-'> pounds, and. according to Doctor t'oles. had a sufficient charge to “stun an elephant." It was strand ed near his boat, lie says, by a reced ing tide. Members of his crew pre vented it from regaining the sea. When dead the electric energy stored in what Doctor Coles describes as bat teries near the head of the fish, was found to be negligible. It was placed in preserving fluid and shipped to the curator of the museum. 1,000 Square Mile* Added to Land of Louisiana Lockport, La.—According to a recent aerial survey, more than 1,000 square miles of land have been added to the area of the state of Louisiana by de posits of silt left by the Mississippi river In the last 25 years. The survey shows that one sector of the land extends out to sea 12 miles farther than It did in 1900. Bays and inlets, in many cases, have been en tirely filled in and numerous streams have disappeared. The building of a drainage system and the clearing of the land are responsible for the in creasing deposits of silt and the slow but certain growth of land bordering on the river. .. .— ■■■•* 1 ' " H.
