How Sea Birds Ousnch Their Thirst
Far From Land

"When | was a cabin boy" said
an elderly sailor, Il often used to
wonder, seem birds thousands of
miles out at sea, what they done
for fresh water when they got
thirsty.
"0ne day squall answered that
question for me. 1t was a hot and
glitterin' day in the tropics, and IN
the clear blue sky overhead black
rain cloud appeared all of sudden.
Then out of empty space over 100
sea birds came dartin' from every
direction. They got under the rain
cloud, and they waited there for
about ten minutes, circlin' round,
and when the rain began to fall
they throwed their heads back, and
they drank their fill.
I'm the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles
away from. shore, they get their
drinkin' water in that way. They
smell out storm a long way off.
They travel 100 miles maybe to get
under it, and they swallow enough
raindrops to keep them goin'."

How Whales Get Food.

To obtain food the whale swims
through the water with its mouth
open. The water pours in the aper-
ture and carries with it hundreds of
small fish and marine animals.
The water escapes through the
sides of the mouth, but the fish are
caught and held by a row of stiff
bonelike objects along the sides of
the jaws. These are whalebones, so
useful in commerce. These and the
oil found in the glands of the throat
make the whale very valuable.
There are several varieties of
whales, but the sperm whale, though
the smallest, is the most valuable.

DR.. Beckwith, whose hobby is the
Atlantic City beach patrol and who
is in personal charge of that large
corps of life savers, was visited in
his hospital tent on the beach by an
old Cincinnati friend and his seven
year-old daughter. With great en-

various methods of reviving persons
dragged from the water. The little
girl listened with wondering eyes.

Senator Depew occasionally delves
into the capacious and well filled
subway of his memory and brings to
light something new in the way of
an anecdote, says the New York
Times. While returning from
abroad on his latest trip-which,
he says, he hopes will not by any
means be his last-he overheard a
heated dispute as to the respective
merits of America and England.
The disputants were a prominent
New Yorker and a well known Brit
ish statesman whose reputation for
laconic repartee is international.

Some are thankful for one thing and
some for another. It takes very little
to please some, whose very presence
seems to be spirit of thankfulness.
while with others it requires much to
please. In fact they would kick if
they were going to be hung, while
many would no doubt rejoice and re-

deficiency. Yet all are more or less
thankful. But the true thankfulness
is not that which is born of a procla-

W. A. Harris. sheriff of Flandreau,

Friday, and had in charge two Chip
pewa Indian boys whom he arrested
at Mile Laos lake.
The boys were students in the Indian
school at Flandreau, being sent there
from the lake, and their longing for
their native wilds in this county was so
great that they ran away from the
school and found their way back to
home and friends with the tribe at the
lake.
Sheriff Harris had no difficulty in
capturing them, but the pitiful spec
tacle of the two boys shackled together
leads one to wonder if the youths
will ever appreciate the benefits of an
education thus forced upon them
