Bost On Advertiser
The Rev. j. &. Wood delivered the
sixth OF his lectures on animal Life
in the Lowell institute series last evc-
uing. The subject OF the lecture was
the whale. The lecturer said that the
whale was but little lighter than water,
and lis nustrils, when 1t lloalod on the
surface, were Just above the water line.
A valve which resisted the more firmly
the stronger the pressure brought TO
bear upon it kept the water from fall
Ing into the lungs and choking the aui-
NAL. The whale takes in air at the
surface, and has reservoirs of oxygen
ated blood which it depends upon to
sustain it for an hour under water,
The principle upon which this storing
of fresh blood depends is similar to that
which gives Il human being his second
wind when running. The whale is
killed because of Il knowledge of its
need of coming to the surface to spout.
1t is driven under water by the sailors
whenever il appears, without being al-
lowed to takO in any fresh air. Tho
small part OF the ear is at the opening,
so that very little water can get into it
10 produce keavy pressure. There is
a double method OF hearing, so that the
things which 90 on IN air and water
both reach the whales scnsibilities,
In one class OF whales the nerves of
smell are perfectly absent, and in the
other very rudimentary. The food Of
whales is partly fishes, but in the north
ern seas the only thing which exists in
sufficient quantities for food is mol
lusk. The whalebone which hangs
down at such length when the whales
mouth lis is ..p,llu Qpsnl is 5, ll2ill ipto GROOVE

SENATOR Don CAMERON told a very
fresh story in his speech during the f.
nal consideration of the bill to restore
Fitz John Porter to his old rank in the
army, in the Senate on Thursday. The
story was to the effect that Porter was
to be credited with persuading Thomas
to be true to the Union at the outbreak
of the war. Thomas was at that time
a Major in the regular army, and WAS
stationed ut Carlisle Barracks. Pa, and
l'orter WAS on Gen. Scott's staff, and in
April, 81, was sent to Harrisburgh TO
aid in organizing troops, &c.
Senator Cameron's story is substan-
TALLY as follows:
The War Department had ordered
Major Porter and the troops at Carlisle
80 Washington with all possible dis
patch. Porter selected Thomas and told
him TO report to him at Harrisburgh.
Thomas arrived there promptly the
same evening. When informed of the
duty to be performed Thomas hesitated,
and then began a conversation between
the two officers, which continued till
morning. Thomas argued against the
war, taking the ground that the trouble
had been brought upon the country by
the Abolitionists of the North, and that,
while deploring it rs sincerely rs any
Nun could, the South had just cause
for complaint. Porter took the posi-
tion that he (Thomas) as soldier had
,iu right To Look at the cause of the
trouble, but as an officer of the United
states army, it was his duty to defend
his hig whenever it was attacked
,yh,tlInr from foes within or without
Porter pleaded rs zealously, as eloquent.
ly.as ever man pleaded cause in which
his whole heart was engaged, and it was
this pleading which caused Thomas to
arrive at a decision. Thomas said he
would much rave preferred that the du.
ty devolve upon another Thomas was
"A Virginian, and had doubts as to the
advisability of the Government coercine
the States back into the Union that had
by their Legislatures formally with
drawn; but having that night decided t
remain with the Union, from that time
forward there was no doubt, no hesitan
cy, no wavering, but an earnest, hearty
support to the side which bad for itI
motto the maintenance of the Union.
Old Pap Thomas was one of the grand
heroes of the late war. and any init
NATION that he ever for moment hesi
tated on which side he would cast BIZ
fortune, is an insult to his memory. Mr.
Cameron's story. told after the name s
the grand old hero of Chickamauga hal
been placed high upon the scroll of thu
immortal defenders of the Republic will
not 60 with the old soldiers who marched
under him. and who still bold his name
in affectionate regard,
