THE SPERM WHALE.
Some interesting Facts Abou. This
Monster of the Sea.

Some interesting Facts Abou. This
Monster Of the Sea.
The common sperm whale, or
cachalot, has very wide geograph-
ical range. 1t is said that it inhab-
its all seas except those near the
poles. 1t is much sought after be-
cause it furnishes us with sperma-
ceti, ambergris and much fine oil.
As rule, it is from seventy to
eighty feet in length. Its head is
immense, being equal to one-half
of the entire bulk of the animal and
more than one-third of its length.
The right side of the head and nose
is occupied by cartilaginous, tri-
angular shaped cavity, called by
whalers the 'case," which is the
main receptacle for spermaceti.
The case is divided into compart-
ments communicating with each
other, and it often contains as much
as ten large barrels of spermaceti.
Though the head is large and
clumsy looking, it does not impede
the whales movements in the least,
for it raises its head above the sur
face of the water when swimming
and keeps it above when at rest.
1t is not very well known of what
use the spermaceti is to the whale,
except that it gives buoyancy TO
the fore part of its body. Amber
girls is fragrant, waxy secretion.
1t is gray substance and when
heated or dissolved in alcohol gives
out a peculiar, agreeable odor ex-
ceedingly diffusive. 1t also has the
power of increasing the odor of 9TH
er perfumes. Often it is found
floating on the sea or lying on the
seacoast and is valued at about IS
an ounce.
Sperm whales traverse the seas
in herds called schools or pods by
whalers. Five hundred or more
have been seen in a single school,
following a leader, whose duty
seems to be to keep a close lookout
for danger. In case of threatened
harm he sounds an alarm by a pc
culiar roar.

Rewarded the Rogue.

Won Moltke was an early riser
and loved early risers. Once while
roaming around his Silesian estate
at daybreak he found peasant wo-
man bearing on her back a sack
Of potatoes which she had just dug,
making a load heavy enough for Il
mule. "Here's a thaler for YOU"
said the great field marshal. "You
see, the early bird catches the
worm" Afterward he found out
that she was a night thief who had
ravaged his fields persistently, but
whom his steward had never got up
early enough to catch.

Der an instance of this when our
dog unfortunately killed a young
bird which was too small to eat.
The parents made decent show of
grief over their loss and then, be-
ing quite sure that the little one
was dead, proceeded to eat up its
still warm remains. In camp wekas
are useful as scavengers, but they
are incorrigible thieves, trying to
take away everything at all white

to move a weight of two or three
pounds, it may be well imagined
that Il careful lookout has to be kept.
The glance of mingled triumph and
contempt which a weka gives over
his shoulder as he walks off with
your pipe is inimitable, and his
whole attitude would make Il most
laughable picture if well drawn

them and the States Attorney has land

that for which he offered his whole farm
