Whales Appetite.
From the chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
A whales appetite Is phenomenal His
chief diet consists Of jellyfish. He has sim
ply to open his mouth and paddle along
in order to take in jellyfish by
the wagon load. Such is the method
adopted by the whalebone whale. The
sperm whale, on the contrary, captures
huge squids. weighing often several tons.
Like his brother. the whalebone whale. he
must be constantly on the lookout for food;
otherwise he would starve. As many as
fourteen seals have been taken from a
thirty foot KILLER" Other fishes Of enor-
nous appetites are not uncommon. The
bluefish, for example. thrives on sardines
and other small fish. Assuming that one
bluefsh eats ten small fish day, 1t has
been figured that 1t requires 10000 million
sardines to feed the 1000 million bluefish
on our coasts every summer. Most curious
of all eaters Is the HYDRA strange crea-
ture that can be turned inside out without
impairing its appetite or Its power to eat.

NO MYSTERY IN
GRAHAM'S DEATH
Man Who Took Him to Bellevue
Hospital Declares Dead Man
Fell in a Fit and Received His
Injuries.

What h Bellevue Hospital authori-
ties Mt first thought was a murder mys-
terry is. judging from developments to-
day. probably nothing more than a case
OF death by accident.
John Graham was taken TO Bellevue
shortly before midnight on Monday last
by a man who CAV his name as An
thony Holtz. Of No. e3 East One Hun
dred and Twenty-ffth street.
From his actions It was at first Thought
that Graham was under the influences OF
alcohol and he was taken to Ward 81
To the nurses there he said he had been
~sandbagged and robbed. He was then
taken to Ward 2. the surgical ward
where an examination was made and II
was discovered that his skull had been
fractured.
Graham became unconscious shortly
after being taken to the surgical ward
and remained In that condition until he
died yesterday morning.
As soon as his story of the sandoag-
cling was learned and the discovery of
the racture in his skull was made the
authorities at the hospital notified the
police.
Anthony Holtz was seer to-day and

1t was long believed that the De
Beers Company had barrels of diamonds
stored away in South Africa. the ma
jority of the stones taken from the
mines at Kimberley being held back to
keep the prices up. This Is nov be-
lleved to be false, It being accepted as
a fact that the Boer war reduced the
surplus, and that the present advance
in prices is due to the diminishing
product OF the mines.

of attention in the streets of Augusta,
Friday morning. One was tall, his

feet above the sidewalk, the other
short, scarcely over five feet high.
They were dressed alike in q combina-

hats stuck out a pig tail which was
fierce to see.
No, they were not escaped lunatics
