after the leviathan, and the latter TO

several times, but the old whalers took
so much time to discuss whether 1t was
a typical whale or a tnback, and wheth-
er it would pay to launch boat and go
out after it that the spectators nearly
froze to death and the whale, becoming
tired of waiting to be chased, calmly
swan off.
The whalemen were divided in their
opinion as to what sort of whale 1t was,
but late in the evening Capt. Nelson
Burnett, who had heard there had been
a whale off the beach, came into town to
learn what he could about it. He was
told how the whale spouted, and re-
marked, dersively:
"Huh, that wasn't no finback. or II
would not have put out to sea when that
tow of coal barges came along. A fin
back would lay there and let the barges
run right over him before he would
move. That was right whale"
II he was right, the majority was
wrong and perhaps missed good days

enough to have enabled the old whalers

FIX THE BLAME FOR TIPPING.

From one Of the jere miads about So

London just now the following Is apropos
of the Improvement in restaurants from
the days when one was fed in dark low
ceilnged, and stuffy rooms and gave to
a time worn and seedy waiter five or ten
cents:
Nowadays you go into a restaurant
which is palatial and you see men. espe-
cally If they belong to the stock ex-
change, giving huge tips that in olden
times would have paid the price of a
whole dinner for half a dozen friends
and the tipping never seems to end. You
tip one waiter for one thing and another
for another, and you tip the server. and
then you tip the man who gives you your
wine, and. as you are leaving, YOU tip

other porter who calls your cab 1t Is.

TO DISSECT ELEPHANT HEART.
Enormous Organ TIA h EN- from Body OF
Jumbo IL to he Civ en- to Students
of Cornell University.

Prof Bert G. Wilder, of the de-
partment of physiology of Cornell uni
versity, has promised his classes that
in a short time he will give them the
largest heart in the world to dissect
and examine.
1t is the great muscular pump that
forced the blood through the arteries
Of Jumbo, the famous elephant. The
wonderful piece of anatomy was re-
ceived at Cornell some time ago, and
has been preserved in barrel in the
cellar of the museum, glass jars not
being made large enough to hold the
mass of muscle.
Jumbo's heart is SO times as large
as the average human heart. 1t now
weighs 361a pounds, after having
soaked several years in alcohol. A hu-
man heart, which weighs little more
than a pound. soaked in alcohol for
the same length of time, weighs ten
ounces.
The human heart is less than six
inches long. Jumbo's is % inches, and
"a inches wide. The ordinary heart
could be contained in the main artery
of Jumbo's heart The walls of the
artery are five-eghths of an inch
thick, while the walls of the ventricle
are three inches thick.
When Jumbo met his heroic death at
ST. Thomas, Ont, trying to save the
baby elephant, and being himself
killed by locomotive. his carcass was
sent to the Ward Natural Science es-
adjustment, at Rochester The skele-
ton was preserved and put on exhibit
ton and the hide mounted.
Prof. Wilder purchased the heart TO
add to his big collection. The brains
of Jumbo, most desired by DR.. Wilder
were shattered in the collision.

TOP CROP OF COTTON
with Late Frost There is Slight
Prospect for Second Crop in Some
Sections.

| There is considerable speculation
over the state just at this time as to
the probability of a second crop of
cotton this season. Some PLANTERS
/ and buyers are Of the opinion that
there is some chance for such a crop
while others claim that the recent
rains came too late to be OF any
| benefit in this direction.
The Southwestern Cotton Buyers
Association, with headquarters at
Waco, has been making conkiiera-
BILE investigation along this line,
and as a result of the investigation
the following information is given
in letter issued by that association
last Saturday:
Waco, Tex. Sept. 10, 1904 Sup
plementing our former reports, we
have this week endeavored to ascer-
tain from our correspondents what
their ideas were as TO the prospect
of a second growth or top crop in
Texas, and also information con-
cerning the general condition of the
crop.
The replies indicate that rains
have been pretty general over the
state, but the opinion Is that they
came too late to be beneficial to cot
ton. There are some sections that
say rain is needed for other crops,
but almost with one accord the re-
plies indicate that no further rains
for cotton are wanted, giving as
their reasons that there is a large
proportion of open cotton IN the
fields, and that favorable weather is
needed IN order to enable the farm
ers To save the open cotton.
There appears to be a slight pros
pect, with a late frost, for some sec
ond growth cotton in the northern
and northwestern parts of the state,
but only about one-thiri Of the cot
ton acreage, according TO our replies
shows any prospect whatever Of
second growth, while the remainder

our Bath sponqes.

wi odAH oPoHSCSs
Your bath sponges do not look much
like the fingers and the vase we have
been learning about.
Bath sponges, you know, are soft
and silky, yet they are skeletons, too.
The sponge animals that lived in
them were soft, jellylike and Shiny,
like those that lived In the fingers and
the vases.
There are many kinds of sponges,
you see.
Your bath sponges are full of holes;
there are large holes and small holes.
All these openings run down deep
into the sponge, and are connected
with each other.
The fine holes are like little mouths
that take in the sea water
They are SO fine that they may serve
for little sieves and keep harmful sub
stances from entering.
Floating in the sea water are very
tiny animals upon which the sponge
feeds.
The water that flows through every
channel of the sponge carries these
little animals with 1t.
1t also uses fine particles of lime,
which the sponge animal uses in max
ing its skeleton.
After the water has gone through all
the little channels in the sponge it
passes out through the larger holes
and back into the sea-
Your bath sponge is made out of
the skeleton of several sponge animals
that grew close together.
You may know how many sponge
animals live in the piece you have by
counting the largest holes that are in
1T. as each large hole with the small
ones clustering about il makes one
sponge animal
Sponges come from tiny eggs.
Baby sponges at first swim about
in the water.
They live their free life only little
while. Then all that escape the hun
CRY mouths of their enemies fasten
themselves to something and are soon
sponges themselves.
Another way in which sponge gar
dens are started is to cut the living
sponge to pieces and plant the pieces
in other places on the sea bottom.
When sponges are gathered for mar
ket they are treated much as our
bunch of fingers" are treated. The
animal matter is allowed to decay;
then they are beaten and put in pens
to be washed by the waves until they
are clean.-From "Sea Stories for
Wonder Eyes" by Mrs. A. S. Hardy.
