WHALEBoNE.-Few persons know
what the whalebono Of commerce repre-
ssnts in the living animal. A writer
thus describes it:
Whalebone, in fact, represents an
enormous development of the gum Of the
whale, and exists in the living animal in
the form of two rows of plates, which
like double fringe, hang or depend from
its palate.
From $50 to 200 Of these plates exist in
the mouth of whale, and the larger
plates may measure from eight to twelve
feet in length. The inner edges of those
whalebone plates exhibit fringe or nayed
out appearance, and the whole apparatus
is adapted to serve as kind Of gigantic
sieve or strainer.
Thus, when the whale fills the mouth
with water. large numbers Of minute an
FINALS, allied to the jelly fishes and the
like, are ingulfed and dawn into the
capaclous mouth cavity.
The water is allowed to escape by the
sides Of the mouth, but lis solid animal
contents are drained off and entangled by
the whalebono flinges, and, when a suai-
cient quantity of food has been captured
in this way, the morsel is duly swallowed.
Thus it is somewhat curious ofrelect that
the largest animals are supported by some
Of the smallest beings.

AMERICAN BOYS Foreigners visiting
the United States have often spoken with
a sort Of hale pity of our boys, WAC look
palo and puny in comparison with Euro
pean children. And American travel
ers have eften returned from abroad
wondering whether it wero the climate
or diet. or social hab lis Of our country,
which injured the health Of the boys. But
it turns out to be an entire mistake, and
foreigners and Americans have both had
wrong impression in the matter.
D.. BOwd itch, OF Boston, has been
gathering statistics with great care, and
he finds that both in hight and weight,
the average Massachusetts boy is ahead
of the average English boy; and that
the sons of the highest classes here sur
pass, in hight and weight the cons Of the
arstocracy in England.
This conclusion will surprise many who
have feared that tho American stock is
degereratlng, and is in danger Of running
on:. The robabiites are that in few
generations the mingling ofraces on this
continent will make us the sturdiost nation
on this globe.

SAVE MAMMA.-Capt. Roscoe Burke
of the steamer Henry Clay, plying be-
tween Cincinnati and Wabash, relates the
following: Down on :he Mississippi, near
st. Louis, one of his boilers exploded or
collapsed ir backing away from wood
wharf, and the steamer was sinking.
Many of the passengers had leaped over
board, some with lite-preseryers and some
without. Among the latter, who had
been swept over by the wildly rushing
mass Of humanity. were boy Of u years
and h is mother. A man upon the stern
OF the boat, seeing the boy bulfeting the
troubled waves, attempted to throw him
q rope, and at the same time crying out
20 him to catch it and save himself. mol
mol" cried the little horo, pointing to q
woman who struggled resolutely close
by his side, "savo my mamma and let
me gol / can swim and she cannot. ."
Both were saved, and we can readily be
lieve that boy wasa hero in all honor
VIII lie he remained on board. That his
mother was proud and fond of him, wor-
shipping him from the depths Of her
heart, was evident to ali.
