UFE ON MONT BLANC.
Jclentlffc Observers as Badly Of*
There as Arctic Explorers.
Life in the observatory on the enm
aift of Mont Blanc is even frostier
han on an arctic expedition. The oir
servatory was founded by Pierre
Janssen, the French physicist. In 1893,
»nd since the first ascent of the moun
tain in 1786 -a temperature above
freezing was never recorded there un
11 1906. when for a few minutes a
temperature of two degrees eentl
jrade,, or about 36 degrees Fahren
heit, was observed.

work is the stream of tourists la j

Shooting the Whale.
The Norwegian whale fisheries ex
end over nearly the whole ot the Are
te Sea. from the north of Norway to
ward Spitsbergen and even to ths
ihetland Islands.
The whales are shot from small
reamers, the implement used being
he so-called bomb harpoon, an arrow
shaped iron spear furnished with a
line, which is discharged from a
mall cannon.
The whale often drags the vessel a
ong distant* until it becomes ex
lausted and expires. It Is then
owed to the anchorage, where it is
tripped of the blubber.
