A Talk About whales.
Thomas }. Bowdith in the Troy Times

The whale is the monart h of the deer,

into insignificance when brought into
comparison with his enorr >us sizs. The

quently under sixty. Two specimens Of
the rorqual or rszor-back whale have
been observed that measured 1875 feet in
length. One OF these was found floating
lifeless in Davis Straits and the other in
Columbia River. One cast on the shore
at North Berwick, Scotland, and pre.
served by DR.. Knox, was eighty>three
foet in length. Some ex.rsyaeant stories
have been told In olden times in regard
to the length OF whales. Baron Cuvier,
the eminent naturalist says: -"There il
doubt that whales have heen ut certain
epochs and In certain seas upward of
800 icet long"
The whale has been an object Of com,
imercial pursuit, and it il surprising that

history. Whales are warm blooded, their
temperature rising very considerably
shos VI bhO buIIUuuuIuR WHLeT,
They breathe, as does man, by lungs; the
larynx has the form of a cone, and when |
the whale is breathing, projects into the |
cavity OF the posterior mares, where it is |
met and embraced by the muscles of |
the palate, aud thus q free pasrage is
opened through the nostriIs from the |
lungs direct to the external air, although |
at the same time the whole head and |
mouth may be under water.
In order to get rid of the water which
IS taken into the mouth, the whale per-
'orms The act OF deglutition, but at the
same time closes the phSrynx to prevent
inc passage .of the water beyond the
aecessary point. BY these means 1t Is

What is Thought of General
KEYS Letter.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The open
letter of Postmaster General Key, sent
out tonight, has caused great surprise
and invidious comment in political cir
cles here, and will probably have the
same effect on the country at large. The
radical republicans say that it is no more
than brazen bid on Mr.. Keys part to be
kept in the cabinet. 1t is understood
that at the cabinet meeting to-day Mr..
Key submitted to the President and his
associates the draft ofthe letter. There
was, of course, no objection to his pur-
pose. 1t is said tonight that Mr.. Key has
given sufficient proofs of his willingness
to completely identify himself with the
republican party.
In his letter it will be noticed that he
uses the same term of "Mexicanize" as
that adopted in the address of the republic
can congressional committee on the Pot
ter investigation, and that his letter is in
some portions couched entirely in the
same line of argument. Some of the
democratic members, who are quite as
much opposed to any attack on the title
of President as Mr.. Key can possibly be
think that, to say the least, Mr.. Key has
been a little oflicous, and that he has laid
down premises and drawn conclusions
which are entirely unwarranted.

Judge Black on the Potter In.
yeSligntIOn

\ Philadelphia Times reporter had a
talk with Judge Black in that city ON
; Monday, but he did not speak very freely
of the investigation going on at Washing
ton into the frauds of 1876. 1t was easy
to see that he was under some restraint in
this part of his chat, arising, perhaps, out
of past orpresent professional connec-
ton with the subject.
II take no stock in the prospect ofturn
ing out Hayes by quo warranto. No doubt
Hayes got the presidency by means Of a
fraud. But he got it and has it. 1t was
conceded to him by the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, which ought to have withheld
it from him. Possession under such cir
cumstances is title, to every legal intent
and purpose. Mr.. Hayes is President for
four years unless his term shall be abrdg-
ed by impeachment, resignation OF
death.
