To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: In the
editorial in The Sun Of December rs on Saw

noble animals are left in the Olympic Noun
tain country. This In not true OF the Jack
sons Hole country. Wyoming. II residents
are to be believed. I travelled through that
section last sumJAer. and one farmer not far
from Moran. on the lake. old me that during
the past winter a drove OF l 500 elk had over
run his farm. Ten miles beyond that an
other man told me that within a month 900
had come down from their feeding places up
in the mountains aud he had the time Of his
life chasing them away with dogs. All this
section Ia forest reserve and game preserve.
and the animals thrive well-so well that the
farmers would like to see fewer Of them.
Just the same, We did not see an elk. though
we did see fences built or decorated with
their horns. At that season, August. they

no more game than we did the supply should
be enormous within the next generation or

President ROOSEVELT has transmitted to
Congress, with his approval. the report OF
the committee which he appointed several
months ago to examine the conditions
under which supplies are purchased for the
various executive departments. The COM
mittee learned many interesting things
while poking around the bureaus. For
instance:
One department pays 81 ~ per dozen quarts for
q particular Ink. while another department pays
as high AZ % per dozen quarts for ink Of the same
kind. The price OF q certain mucilage runs from
sl.s4 per dozen quarts in one department TO So per
dozen quarts In another. There Is also a marked
difference In the prices paid for lead pencils by tho
departments; for = certain pencil one department
pays ss.@ per gross. while ss.1 per gross Is paid
for the same pencil by another department"
The departments and bureaus now buy
independently whatever they may need,
except envelopes. In other words, the
Government does its buying on a system
that the proprietor OF no well regulated
business enterprise would tolerate.

Would England Get Our FoodstufYs
In Spite OF Us?

An esteemed correspondent opines that
In the event Of England combining with
her Japanese ally In war against the
United States we should prove unable to
coerce the former Power, and thus put
an end to the contest, by Withholding
food supplies. The opinion is based upon
two reasons: First, the superior sea
power Of Great Britain would enable her
to keep open the st. Lawrence, and thus
assure access to the granaries Of the
Canadian Northwest; secondly, our own
foodstuffs, in normal proportions, would
continue to reach the British Islands,
only they would go in French and Ger
there is for these assertions.
We observe, first, that IL all the SUI
plus grain now procurable in the Cana
dian Northwest could reach England, IL
would fall very far short Of filing the
gap made by the n~on-arrival Of food
stuffs from the United States. That Is
the case to-day, and is likely to remain
the case for many years, so long a the
inhabitants of British North America
are not tempted to increase vastly the
acreage sown in wheat by the certainty
Of obtaining the preference in the British
market which MI. CHAMBERLAIN pro-
posed to give them. Assuming, however,
for the sake OF argument, that the Ca
madam Northwest Is now able to furnish
foodstuffs adequate to Britain's needs,
and that British warships could keep the
st. Lawrence River open in tho winter
months, we must still recognize the
impossibility OF the Canadians prevent
ing US, with our greatly preponderant
military force, from interrupting railway
communications on the Canadian Pacific
and Grand Trunk lines at M or moro
points in the long stretch from Lake
Superior to Winnipeg. The Canadians
couldn't feed England; and We would
not let them II they could.
To suppose that in the event Of
finding ourselves involved in war with
Great Britain, owing to her alliance with
Japan, we should overlook the posi-
bility Of the former Powers continuing
to receive her normal supply Of Ameri-
can foodstuffs, by means of neutral YES
sells flying the French, German or Scandi-
navian flag, would be TO assume that our
Federal Executive and Legislature would
be smitten with a blindness and inepti-
tude TO which they have never shown

Tho Brooklyn Whale.

On Saturday and Sunday last the
workmen engaged in making the exca-
walton for the new salt water fire ex-
tinguishing system in Brooklyn came
upon a number Of very large bones,
apparently belonging to the skeleton OF
some gigantic animal. They were found
about thirteen feet below the surface at
q spot ear the foot OF Joralemon street,
not far distant from the site occupied in
ancient times by the celebrated Pierre
pont Gin Distillery. On Tuesday they
attracted the attention Of Mr.. GUY DU
VAL, the secretary Of the Brooklyn Ware
house and Storage Company, who was
impressed by their massive size and
brought the fact of their discovery to
the attention Of the newspapers and the
authorities of the American Museum Of
Natural History and the Brooklyn In
stitute Of Arts and Sciences.
As the result Of his interest In the
matter the discovery was made public

Of the Brooklyn Institute Museum, has

character OF the bones. It was conjec-
tured at first that they might be those
Of a mastodon or mammoth, but Mr..
LUCAS declares that they once formed
part Of the frame of a whale. He esti-
mates this whale to have been from forty
to forty-ive feet long and -of advanced
age As an explanation OF their pres
ence in the place where they were found
Mr.. LUCAS suggests that the bones were
buried by Indians. No backbone has -
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-12-21

yet been ~unesrthed, but Mr. LUCAS ac-
counts for the absence Of that portion
Of the whales anatomy on the ground
that the Indians found il too heavy to
bring to the place OF interment.
Assuming that the bones thus discov-
cred really are whale bones, it seems to
us that this attempt to account for their
presence in the particular place where
they were found is rather feeble and
unsatisfactory. We are at a loss to
perceive any reason why the Indians,
who had enough to do to keep soul and
body together without indulging in idle
pastimes, should have taken the trouble
to bury a whale or any part thereof
thirteen feet below the surface of the
earth or, indeed, to bury it at all. Sci
ence will have to suggest a better theory
than this to ecu it's acceptance.
In all seriousness, however, the dis
covery IL one well worth a scientific
investigation. 1t is by no means a COM
mon or ordinary occurrence to find the
bones Of a large whale in the course Of
subterranean excavations deep below
the surface Of the earth in a great city.
There ought to be somebody connected
with the scientific institutions in this city
who is competent and willing to make a
thorough investigation in regard to this
find, and determine, with a reasonable
degree Of probability at least, the cir
cumstances under which the bones Of this
gigantic mammal found their way to the
place where they were discovered.

DR.. Gaines Enriches the Language.

The Hon. OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD,
Representative in Congress OF the Ninth
Alabama district, took part in a dialogue
in the House the other day with DR.. JOHN
WESLEY GAINES Of tennessee, who is
still more famous as a monologue artist.
Naturally, the Albanian got the worst
of it. So he altered the Record, revised
his remarks. This is a habit Of many
statesmen, and to be caught at it brings
no shame upon Mr.. UNDERWOOD. DR..
GAINES, however, is not a man with
whom anybody caN take liberties. He
feels that the all judging eye Of History
watches his lightest word, il any word
Of his is light; and no debatein which he
takes part can be tinkered without de-
lection. December IS he rose to make
a correction in the Congressional Record
and read as follows from the number of
that engaging periodical for December IA:
VI GAINEs OF Tennessee-wIn the gentleman
Yield TO an inquiry
NJ UNDERwooD-Yes.
Mr. GArSE KS Of Tennessee-Did not the gentle
man favor the proposition and speak in favor Of
the raising OF the salaries OF the Federal Judges
here not long ago.
Mr.. do not know that l did.
Mr.. GAINES OF tennessee know you did. for
I heard you. tLnughterl
N was in favor OF paying the
Federal Judges additional salary. but that Is q
very different proposition from paying a legislative
salary.
Mr.. GAINES OF Tennessee-You also voted TO
pay for the ofices they used. I pay for my own
once aud you pay for yours. We are members Of
Congress. Are the Judges any better than we are
Mr.. UNDERwooD-Yes; I think they are In
average ability as lawyers
DIR. GAINES said that the words sin
average ability as lawyers were not in
the reporters transcript. They were
foisted upon the report by Mr.. UNDER
WOOD. Their insertion spoils the point
of DR.. GAINEs's magnificent declaration
of his equality:
Well, | never saw q Judge whom tsicl I thought
was any better than you or myself. We are all equals
under the law and under the stars and Stripes. and
1 want to keep It that way
Mr.. UNDERwooD's addition put DR..
GAINES in the position Of asserting or
implying that Judges have no more
legal ability than ordinary citizens. DR..
GAINES justly objected TO Mr.. UNDER
WOODS -interpolated pencilaneous writ
ing; but no good man will regret an
