Frank Norrla, In bla novel, "Morai

ttade It the feature of the book, so fai
as treasure went and treasure played
a Important part therein, as it In
lubltably must In every well rerulatec
rtory of adventure on sea or land.
But such strokes of fortune do not
belong altogether to fiction.
A San Francisco bark, the Morgan
haa Just come In with a lump of am
bergria worth $21,000, which was picked
jip quite accidentally one day as It
floated along on the surface of the
jcean near the coast of Japan.
The finding of It hasn't caused an
vne's death yet, nor Is It at all likely
to, but it haa made the Anders marki

Illustrated strikingly how fortune may
at any moment alight upon a child 01
Sircumstanca In dimensions hardly
larger than a flea bite nor prettier thai
t splash of mud.
Ambergris, this precious substance
that outvalues gold and comes only
by the luckiest chance (generally tc
those who are not looking for it), is an
abnormal growth due to the stomach
trouble of an occasional sperm whale
When a sperm whale has Indigestion
r some such ailment, a strange growth
levelops In his Intestines.
It was Dr. Swedlaur, in a communl
satlon to the Royal Society of London
who first established correctly the ori
gin of the rare substance. He bad dis
:overed this ambergris frequently con
tained the mandlblea or beaks of th

;onjunctlon with the finding of am
bergris In the Intestines of that variety
Df whale only was conclusive evidence
that It was a production of that crea
ture's, and not extraneous fungi.
It was only a small, dirty gray lump
tf fat in appearance, that the Morgan'i
srew picked up. It weighed sixty-five
pounds.
Robs Wllbcr and Moran, in Norris'
novel, found a larger chunk than that.
But It wasn't floating on the surface
f the ocean.
They were becalmed In Magdalena
bay, off Lower California. Wilbur and
the royal sea maiden, Moran, had been
Seserted by their Chinese crew.
A Junk manned by another gang of
;oolles and commanded by a scoundrel
it the same Ilk comes on the scene and
:ompels Wilbur to lend his schooner to
the operation of handling a whale
which the Junk men have found.
The whale Is hoisted alonslde the
ichooner and emptied of Its oil tint!
blubber, which the captain divides into
four parts, keeping three fro his crew
and giving one to Wilbur and Moran.
Then the Junk sails away, leaving
Wilbur to cut the schooner loose from
the rifled carcass as best he may.
In doing this he chops Into the mon
ger's back and lays bare a growth of
imbergris.
He does not realise what It Is, but
Moran does. A dainty perfume, pecu
liar to the strange secretion, reveal?
the natre of it to her.
They drag the stuff aboard the
schooner and try to hide It from the
tusplclous eyes of the coolies on the
unk, but the avaricious pirate com
manding them guesses what the white
folk have found and leads an assault
an them, which ends In a transfer of
the treasure to the Junk.
Another fight restores It to Wilbur.
A. final tragedy, In which Moran Is
killed, gives it back to the coolie cap
tain, who disappears with It In San
Francisco's Chinatown.
Such an occurrence in real life of the
jeventeenth century might have given
rise to a belief that ambergris posses
ted an evil charm, making It dangerous
for people to handle.
That would have added Just the pro
per element of deviltry to it to make
It a subject for dark whisperings In
the chimney corner or hnir-llftlng nur
sery rhymes for the terrified young.
The ambergris fished out of the Japan
current by the Morgan will yield a
tidy little side sum for the crew a tit
of dessert, as it were.
The Morgan's specialty Is whale oil.
Ambergris does not figure In her cal
culations, and has never before be?n
known to obstruct her pathway In the
search for oil.
She cleared port November 26. IMS,
tnd Is still out. News of her extraor
dinary find was brought In by another
vessel.
The Morgan is now on her way to the
Okhotsk sea afier more whales. She
will reach San Francisco about the 30th
of October. Then the local druggists
will have the privilege of laying In
$21,000 worth of new ambergris, and the
crew will have that neatlsh amount
of coin to show for their five minutes'
work in picking up the dirty gray
chunk In the Japan sea.
Ambergris Is now chiefly used in
perfumery. Its medical properties being
no longer as popular as of yore.
How many ladles know they are
wearing whale dyspepsia on their ker
chiefs, or occasionally drinking It for
the sake of a cunning little tipple?

APHASIA AFFLICT THB CSAM
Tba esar of Russia la suffecig from
aphasia. There la not on cbanoe la
a hundred that he can be cured.
Physicians have hitherto looked upon
aphaala as a mental malady, incurable
save by a severe surgical operation,
and that la effective only in rare cases.
Aphasia Is the Greek word for speech
lessness. Technically It la defined as the Im
pairment or abolition of the faculty of
using and understanding language
written or spoken Independently of any
failure of the Intellectual process or
any disease or paralysis of the vocal
organs.
The trouble Is all in the brain Itself.
Sometimes the aphasia Is complete,
sometimes only partial. Physicians
group its different foims under different
beadi.
Thus sensory aphasia is the nam
they give to Its severer aspect, when
the patient can n either read nor speak
Intelligently. He is then 614 to be
both word blind and word deaf. He la
not deaf to sounds, he Is not blind to
written characters, but he no longer
associates them with the idea that
underlies them. The casual observer
might Imagine that he was an Idiot;
the doctor sees that he preserves his
intelligence, reason and perceives sur
rounding objects, but is unable to com
municate with others; he can no longer
speak or understand the words address
ed to him; he cannot write or read;
sometimes even the language of ges
ture is lost to him.
When the patient is merely word
blind hi scase Is described as motor
aphaala. He picks up a book or news
paper, and It says nothing to him. He
heara, understands and speaks; he can
even write, but he cannot read. As a
rule his writing looks like it was dona
in the dark, guided by the muscle feel
ings of the hand alone. He cannot
read what he has Just written, nor can
he write from copy. His own name,
that has been well Impressed upon his
motor centers, he usually writes very
well, but he cannot read It. The dis
ease here, then, is in the loss of the
memory for the visual word signs; the
patient is not blind, but word blind.
The exact converse of this condition
is known as agraphia. Here the pa
tient can speak, can read manuscript or
print, but he cannot write. He takes
the pen In hand to write a word, knowa
what he ought to write, how It would
look if written, but he cannot write
It. He has lost the memory of the
movements necessary to form the let
ters. The association between the
movements made in writing and the
word haa been lost. He Is not word
blind or word deaf, but the motor word
sense Is defective.
The patient who Is word deaf, or who,"
In technical lana-unse. suffers from ver
bal aphasia, can read and write and
hear. He can even hear the sounds
of the human voice. But he attaches
no meaning to them. Inferring that ha
Is spoken to, he may attempt to an
swer, but will say something entirely
Irrelevant Gradually appreciating that
he is not speaking to the point, he may
with some impatience ask wny ne can
not understand what you say.
Ataxic aphasia is the term used to
denote the Inability to express ideas in
spoken words. The loss here is the link
between the Idea and tne appropriate
movements of tongue, etc., necessary to
make the sounds of words. Often the
patient retains a few phrases used oa
all occasions. The power of hearing
and understanding is retained, writing
and reading are intact, and speaking
alone has dropped out.
The mildest of all forms of aphasia
Is a modification of the latter, and la
known as amnesic aphasia. Here the
patient Is unable to recall the word he
wants, though able to speak it when
found.
That no man is wholly sane is a say
ing so old as to be commonplace. In
the game way no man Is without some
touch of aphasia of the amnesic va
riety. You who read must have experi
enced occasional difficulties In bringing
to the surface a particular word at the
moment you wished to use It. In vain
you summon It from the vasty deep of
your memory. You Know mat 11 is
tomehow within the sphere of your con-ai-lounness,
by a daring metaphor you
try impatiently that It Is at the very
tip of your tongue, but you cannot,
tn,-morv cannot seize It nor can tongue
utter It. You find yourself verbally in-
lolvent, not from want 01 aswfis, uui
because the assets are not Immediately
available.
Inasmuch as every other man suners
at Intervals from the difficulty you
rightly consider youwlf in a normal
ondltlon. Let this aimcuny, nowevcr,
;,e only slightly aggravated, and you
nave the rudimentary form of disease
fitting from an abnormal cerebral con
litlon; In other words, you are suffering
from aphasia.
An eminent French Jurist, on con
sulting his physician, exhibited the fol
owlng mental peculiarities: In the rnld
tia f n conversation he would And
himself at a loss for the word he want
ed and at times BUbstuutea a sirnj
Ve for It. On other occasions he would
jay to his wife, "Give me my-dear me!
-you know;" and he would point to hla
head.
"Your hat?"
"Oh, yes; my umbrella."
Patients of this sort often exercise
great Ingenuity In avoiding during con
versation or writing the words they fall
to properly recall. Uy means of oddly
constructed sentences they often hide
this defect In speech from strangers.
One man, who could never remember
the word "aunt." was In the habit of
denominating that lady "the nearest
relntlve by my mother's side."
Sometimes the word substituted Is
neither of the anture of a synonym or
a periphrasis, but bears only an arbi
trary, and sometimes a whimsical, re
lation to that missing word. One old
man, who had forgotten the names or
his servants, was accustomed to call
his footman by the name of "Young
Water;" his butler, "Old WWater;" his
medical attendant he knew by the not
very complimentary title of "Young-Knock-lllm-Down."
People of rank
whose names he had forgotten were
styled such names as "the king, the
lueen," "the grand vlxler." Occasional
ly to mark more clearly the person to
whom he referred, he had recourse to
mimicking characteristic traits of man
ner. or showing off oddities of P""J
1ppenranre, such as describing with nil
arm the capacity of an abdomen.
On one occasion he put an almanae
into the hands of hla medical
unt and asked what o'clock It waa
meanm the day of the month,

Bullfrog farming la becoming a rec
ognised industry in Indiana. Within
the last few weeks the new branch of
culture haa been established in many
sections of tbe state of Indiana on
most extensive basis. Farmers have
found that while crops are finding low
and poor markets, tbe frog la com
manding a ready market and brings
prices that cause the old fanner to
open hla eyes.
Frog farming la being reduced to a
scientific basil. The farmera have al
ready found that not every frog that
croaks during the hours of the night
hat a commercial value. It la only the
American bullfrog, whoae croak comes
at long-measured intervals and sounds
like a grand "amen" above all of tbe
other croaklngs, that haa a commercial
. The new farmer has 1? p"11?
Scientific knowledge on bagging his
crop. Any man who has attempted to
catch a frog knowa that it is not the
easiest thing in tba world, Science,
howeVff, haa solved th problem and
the farmer goes lift and picks his frog
off hla perch Just aa though hi was
ear of corn on a stalk.
The growing demand In cities for
fro hams haa created this Industry
a marvelously short time. In all first-
class restaurants in cities frog hams
have become aa fixed a delicacy for
the menu as any other of the food
tuffs. For a long time this demand was
filled by boys and young men, who
went out and gathered the frogs, toads
and everything they could get hold of.
Now there are many frog farms scat
tered over Indiana. Farmers have
found that their swamp lands, which
have been considered worthless, have
great value If they are sown In bull
froga In the fall. Streams running
through their lands are even better
for the cultivation of the frog, and
that stream has marshes on each side
and reeds and a mill dam and some
picturesque points It seema to have 1
decided additional value.
Frogs of the best grade big Ameri
run hiiiifrni-a now command all the
way from 60 cents to $1 a dozen, ac
cording to the maret where they are
offered for sale. The frog farmer
should be able to catch all the way
from 100 to 200 a night, or 1,000 a week
and pt them In the market There
are some Indiana farms turning out
such crops this year. This represents
a big amount of money. The farmer is
at practically no epense after he gets
his farm well stocked.
The scientific method of bagging the
crop Is the result of an Indiana roan
ingenuity. He la Thomas Farter of
Shelbvvllle.. who perhaps knows more
on the subject of practical frogology
than does any other man In the Missis
sIdd! valley. For some years Farre
was In the habit of going to the wilds
of Arkansas annually on hunting and
R.hinff ovfwltlrtna He discovered
while out at night carrying a blazing
pine knot that tne rrogs wowu cease
croaking as the light passed, but would

occurred to him that perhaps they
were cnarmea or aengniea wnu mc
light, as seals are said to be with
miiaff. The (nought of trvlne to catch
one of the big frogs that abound in
that section was carried into execution,
the result being that with the aid of a
H.rht ho hud no erreat trouble in Dirk
ing them up. He found that the
brighter the light the easier his task
was and the more deeply hypnotized
was the frog.
This began the evolution of the pres
ent calcium light effect which he gets
by taking an ordinary new tin bucket,
shifting the handle t the side and
putting a lantern Inside of It. The bot
tom and sides act as a reflector, and
iih tho ahiriod handle It is easily car
ried and the light thrown full glare on
the frog. When It hits his eyes he Is

Mr. Farrer does not see a large enough

ask them about tneir wounds, to anow

The Investlntlon was attended with

a surprisingly small percentage or me

them tell about It whole lot of trou
ble In fact. Many 01 tnem were uh
the old sergeant of regulars, whoae tajj
waa as follows: "I was shot Mi the leg,
sorr. Ol tumbled down, sorr. I felt
Ilka hell, sorr." There is a tradition
that men shall not h (Hllng when
they are under fire. Vhen they tell of
tneir feelings at all It comes In the na
ture of a CPnfesslonTjWB&n.-; to b
ashamed of. That is what drill and
training are for as much aa anything
else to jrreate a Ijabit AbAt wUl b
strong though lo feslsf nature. Conie
fluently It waa among the volunteers,
who had not prepared themselves so
thoroughly as the regulars for this kind
of crisis, that most of the interesting
mental phenomena occurred. -
There waa 6ns member of the Seventy-first
regiment who waa shot la
the leg, and ha said that the mental
effect was intense chagrin. His people,
he said, were Of the "let the others go"
variety of patriots. They di dflot for
bid him to enlist, but the consensus of
home opinion was against it. They
took the gfoasM that other lives, ot
less value e'lttter to their owners or so
ciety, woulff answer the purpose aa
well- He argued that he did not ex
pect to lose either life or limb or health.
Were the loss of any of these certain
he would not have enlisted, and ha
concluded that his chances were nearly
as good as If he were- te remain at
home. Well, when he wasi shot down
there In Cuba, the episode became part
of discussion In a way that waa sud
den, complete and not at all unnatural
or grotesque. Swifter than the shot
came the thought: "What will the folka
say to me now? And how am I going to
explain this?"
Another ovlunteer said that when nt
was shot he felt like standing up and
telling the Spanish army that they had
performed the feat of final detriment,
not only to this country, but to the
whole universe. The idea of his getting
shot struck him as having been com
pared only by means of an Incongruous
relaxation of attention on the part of
Providence. He could not reconcile it
with preconceived ideas. He said that
he stood up and spluttered In the di
rection from which the shot had come
like a mad baby until somebody came
along and pulled him over backwards
and told him to shut up. During his
subsequent illness and delirium the
volunteer became possessed of a per
fect imaginary picture of the man
who shot him. to the most minute
change of expression and effect of
dress. That Spanish soldier has as dis
tinct a personality as he has himself,
and even yet he seems more real and
easier of Identification than most peo
ple with whom the American has a
waking acquaintance. The volunteer
said that so far as he knew the Span
iard's face was not one which he had
ever before seen or imagined. It was
only after his convalescence that he
was able to separate what actually
happened from what occurred In his
Imagination, and he knows now that
the Spaniard was a dream.
"My regiment had taken to the shrub
Jungle on neanng ine num "
boney," said another volunteer. As I
waa crawling through the Jungle, I
found myself following a man who was
much bigger than I, so much bigger
than I, In fact, that If we were to stand
in row he would overlap me at all
points. It was through no contrivance
of mine that I was following this par
ticular man. It Just happened for the
same reason that he was following
somebody else, In a way men have, in
common with sheep. All this time the
Spanish bullets were drilling nasty lit
tle holeB in the air and spattering
through the leaves above our heads. I
remember being particularly grateful
for not being aa big us the man ahead
of me. It was but a step from this to
taking advantage of the cover his sixe
afforded. I remember arguing wun
myself that I was not aoing uny ...... s
mean or contemptible; that the big
men stood no greater chances and that
1 tnnd fewer by the arrangement. I
didn't feel aa though I was cheating
him out of anything; In short, although
I was dead sure that if he turned and
caught me dodging wnen no uoubc

would be strife within our lines. All
at once there was a little twinge In my
arm. It had the numbing effect, with
