Experts say there is only about six
tons of whalebone left in the world.
That means that the Greenland whale

bone" in it's cavern of a mouth. Is
we'll nigh extinct, says London Mod
ern Society. Ten or u of these gigan-
tic whales yet roam the Arctic seas,
and when these are killed there are
none to take their place. There are
other species of whales that yield ba-
leen, or whalebone. but it is coarse
and small, and in no way to be com
pared to the great shining plates, eight
or ten feet long, which are taken from
the mouth of the Greenland whale.
The cachelot, or sperm whale, is hunt
ed for it's oil and it's spermaceti; it
possesses no baleen. having instead a
row Of stout white teeth yielding ex-
cellent ivory.
Whalebone is curious stuff. being
light, flefxibIe, tough, and elastic to
degree that renders it unique for many
purposes. Steel has taken it's place in

to his fame. but the love which in
spired it is more lasting than fame.

At one end of the room was the
dainty bed. with it's French hangings,
and where the curtains part is painted

girl could see it the first thing every
morning. 1t may have brought to her
mind the memory Of many happy
hours passed in the shade of such a
tree. There were birds flying hither
and thither and nest is tucked away
safely in the forks of the branches In
the nest are little speckled eggs, so
beautifully painted that Mademoiselle
Daubigny might almost have expected
each morning to see them Matched out
and to find scrawny, yellow billed bird
lets in their stead.
Between the panels are painted toys
strung together in the most tempting
way, and above them all is a frleze Of
wild flowers-those who grow all
around the town of Auvers-poppies,
duets and others.
Can you imagine anything more
charming to look at upon awaking In
the morning?
Even the smallest works of this ar

very much favored. But when her

Charles Francois Daubigny is the
name of a famous artist. He was not,
however, always famous. and once he
was little boy. playing around and
having fun Just as you do. Now in
France some mothers do strange
things. 1t is their custom to send
their tiny baby children off into the
country to be taken care Of by g farm
ers wife. When they are older and
are less trouble to their parents, they
are brought back to live at home This
is what happened to the little Charles.
No doubt he enjoyed it very much,
however, f0r. all children like the coun-
try. When he grew up to be big
man, his passionate love for the coun-
try continued. and he chose a home
near the very place where he had been
brought up.
The name Of this place is Auyers-
sur-Oise, and it is a little town not far
from Paris. 1t is not at all like an
American village, with it's new houses
and barns. but is merely a collection
of old stucco houses. one church also
old and picturesque, and few strag-
Cling shops.
Here he made a home for himself
and family, and it was here that some
of his most famous pictures were
painted. He had a queer boat built
on which he lived for days at time,
moving about on the river at his will.
Thus he was able to secure effects one
could get in no other way. 1t is not OF
this, however. that I wish to tell you.
When you grow up, you may read a
great deal yourself about this famous
painter of nature.
What l wish to describe to you is
the room which he decorated for his
little daughter who liked fairy tales
just as much as American children
like them. When people go to Auvers
to see the famous painters room, they
are seldom shown this special room,
which to young folks is certainly one
Of the most interesting in the whole

English Kissing Customs.

At Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, at
periodic intervals the mayor and cor

shores of their native river by pro
ceeding in state to various points,
where they proclaim their authority.
Perhaps as an inducement for the
mayor to undertake this particular
duty, on landing on the green he is
permitted by ancient custom to kiss
the prettiest girl present, comforting
upon her a sovereign as compensar
ton. At Bournemouth. where the
kiss mayoral is also conferred, it is
an ancient and loving custom for the
retiring mayor to give his successor
an osculatory salute.

-. n sSSultS OF Recent British EXperi-
ments at Portsmouth.
The question of submarine mines or
topedoes, their effect on warships, the
chance Of hitting, and their general eff
ficacy in the defence Of harbOrs has
always been an interesting one be-
cause the history of recent wars has
added very little to the literature of the
subject.
In order to obtain some reliable data
for use in war. Great Britain recently
subjected the Beilleisle (already IA
nous for the trial Of fire to which she
was subjected a year or two ago. to
still further experiments. A White
head torpedo was exploded against the
ships bottom, and as result she
heeled over and sunk in 20 minutes:
There was a depth Of water ten feet
under the keel of the Belleisle, which
had ben mOOred in Dorchester creek,
at Portsmouth, England. A cOmpart-
ment, filled with corn pith cellulose,
had been built outside the port bow
below the water line, the torpedo was
dashed by divers under the compart-
ment, and fired electrically from the
Vernon.
When the torpedo exploded spray
rose about 40 feet into the air, the ex-
plosion not only smashing the special
compartment and blowing the cellu-
lose into the air, but also tearing open
the side of the ship and leaving a hole
eight feet by twelve.
The experiment proved conclusive

and incidentally showed that the plug
