The Food Of whales,

The food of whales has long been known
to consist Of minute sea crustacea. Mr.
Gray was familiar not only with the
whales food, but observed its manner Of
feeding and the way in which 1t took its
nap after meals. F" "No doubt" he wrote,
"whales are very particular in the quality
Of their food, for they are never to be found
feeding where the water is dirty, but al
most Invariably In clean, clear, dark blue
or light olive green water. The usual way
In which whale feeds is to choose spot
where the food is plentiful and swim back.
ward and forward for two'or three hundred
yards with the nose just under water.
They invariably swim from one side Of the
beat back again to where they started from
with their mouths open. They then close
their Jaws and swallow the food caught.
.They will 60 on in this way feeding for
an hour or more. After that they will dis
appear under the nearest Ice and sleep there
until they come out for exercise or for an
I other meal. Unlike other warm blooded
animals, they do not require to breathe
through their nostrils while asleep, and
they do not do SO. Whales can sleep as
well under water as they do upon the sur
face, as have often seen them disappear
under solid ice and remain there for many
hours at time. Sometimes they fall
asleep with their heads down and only
their tails standing out Of the water. r.

"They's a.wantin you, Jim,
An you better jump into the race"
But he'd still shake his head wen they

Never wuz any one like him. Eff one

They wuz 'spectin of him in the sky,
He'd still shake his head, an bet he nd
"Well, mebbe I'll go-w'en I'm through
with the hay"
