man-himself or his father. At first
he could get no reply to so dangerous
a question, the answer to which might
cost the courtiers their heads. At last
u willy old courtier said. Your father,
sire, for, though you are equal to your
father in all other respects. in this he
is superior to you-that he had a great

rhc Ertinct Northern asen cow,


In the year 1854 the Bering explor-
ers discovered gigantic species Of ryti-
nae, OF northern sea COW. These enor-
nous manatees were similar In gener-
al habits to those of the South Ameri-
can coast and were from twenty to
thirty feet in length and from ten to
twenty feet in girth. They were very
stupid, harmless beasts and lived by
browsing on seaweeds and other ma
rine growths near the land. The sail
ors were not slow in finding out that
a sea cow steak beat seal meat "all
hollow" From 1854 until 176S they
were the principal food Of the sailors
and explorers ON our western coast.
This being the case, it is not at all sur
prising that the northern sea COW, new
er a very numerous species, should be-
come extinct in the short space of four
teen years. The last Of the giant man
atees was killed in September, 1T6S, a
few months less than fourteen years
after the discovery Of the first one.
