Wolves in Russia.

The number of wolves in European head; and, it scarcely need be said, the havoc they make every year is immense. Information collected by the Imperial Statistical Bureau showed that in the year 1873 the damage so caused in forty five governments of the Empire amounted in value to 7,5OO,OOO roubles, or about e1, 25O,O0O sterling. The losses are believed, too, to be vastly under estimated. The value of live stock varies immensely in different parts of Russia, and the official estimate is said to have been based on much too low an average per head. In one district of the Govern ment of Perm it was reported that no damages had been caused by wolves, although it was well-known fact that over 5000 head of reindeer belonging to the nomads had been destroyed by wolves in single night there. In this and in some other instances there was an obvious desire on the part of the peasants to conceal facts. The destruction is not confined to cattle. In Kazan it is estimated Il, ,O0O head of geese are thus carried off every year, and in Kaluga 2,OOO head. Besides large numbers of camels, horses, and ponies, 100000 dogs are thus destroyed every year by wolves. In taking these figures into account, il certainly does not appear an exaggerated estimate that the value of the live stock and domestic animals destroyed by wolves in Russia exceeds 15.OOO, ,OO( roubles (e2, ,250,0oO sterling) every year
 and if to this be added the frightfu
 destruction of reindeer belonging to thu nomad tribes from the same cause, th' total becomes enormously increased. Th' annual loss of human life by wolves i

Does a Whale Spout Water?

There is an interesting discussion going on in New York over the question whether whale does or does not spout water. What do the men who go down to the sea say about it?-[Boston Traveller.
 We think that those who go down to the sea in ships will agree that the whale does not spout water, although he blo,Os water. To explain this seeming para dox, it must be understood that the blowing of a whale is simply strong res piration or breath, and that the whale is a warm -blooded animal with lungs like those of land animals, and breathes air only. At the moment of rising to the surface of the sea, he forces out a strong current of air, by which the small quan- tity of water then standing in the cavity of his spitacle or spout-hole is blown into countless atoms, forming cloud of spray which looks like white smoke or steam. The form of this cloud of spray differs in the case of different species of whale, so that the practiced eye of the whaleman can usually distinguish the several varieties, even at a distance o1 miles. This variety results from the different conformation and direction o1 the spiracle in the various species o1 whale, and also from the fact that some species have only one spiracle and others two. The current idea that the whale takes in vast quantities of water ant ejects it again in solid stream like tha from a fire engine is a great mistake and the pictures which represent him a spouting such streams of water higl aloft are simply ridiculous to the eye O the whaleman. It is not probable tha any water worth mentioning ever finds its way into the whales lungs, but wher mortally wounded he will throw out co pious streams or gushes, not of water but of warm, red blood. d.-Nantucket Ln | Ouirer
