Serious Danger of Extermination.

Ceneva, June 2. The Economic Committee met at the League to-day and was concerned with the serious danger that whales will disappear from the earth, or rather from the Antarctic Ocean, which is now be found in considerable numbers. The unhappy monsters have been hunted out of every other sea, and are likely to be preserved from extermination only by the efforts of the Committee.

NEW CUNARD LINERS ON THE SERVICE.

London, May 20. So successful has been the Intro- duction of tourist-third-cabin ac- commodation on the Atlantic route that two additional Cunard lipers have been equipped for the service. The whole of the second-class quarters of the Carinthia and Franconia have been placed at the disposal of tourist passengers.

This is an optimistic phraseology in view of the fact that the whale leads only a pre. carious existence elsewhere than in the Antarctic. However, the convention would prohibit the taking or killing of right whales, which are slow creatures, and consequently easy to catch and liable to be exterminated. More over, it would prohibit the taking or killing of calves or sucking whales, and female whales which are accompanied by calves who are suckling.

His Honour remarked that a better way would be to put a little salt on the tiger's tail.
