Wolves. of the Sea.

OF all the inhabitants of the ocean
few are more destructive than the sea
wolf, kind Of dolphin which attains
when full grown length Of fourteen
feet and a weight of 5000 pounds.
A swift swimmer, it Is quick in it's
movements, cunning as fox and has
an Unsuitable appetite. 1t feeds on the
young Of seal, whale and walrus and
also on the tongue Of the adult whale.
When a mother walrus perceives
sea WOLF she endeavors to throw her
cub on to an iceberg if one is near.
Failing this, she gets it on top of her
head and swims with it above water
But this is vain. Diving far below, the
fish Of prey comes up with tremendous
force, striking the frantic mother
terrific blow and jolting the cub off
her head into the water. Here it falls
an easy victim to the assailant and is
soon devoured.
In it's work of destruction the sea
wolf is frequently aided by the thrash
er, fish which can deliver a terrible
blow with it's tail.

$40 for the canine p:

General Miles, 81 haven't really got
any right to sell you this animal, but if
you'll give me So you may take the pup
away when I'm not looking, and I'll
not tell who took it, w. ...- -
The bargain was closed, and General
Miles took the dog to his room. A mo-
ment later the dogs owner inquired
for his pet, and Mark Twain offered to
find the animal for So. The humorist
then went to General Miles room and
explained all, had the dog returned to
him, gave the army officer back his
money and returned the canine to it's
original owner, thereby making So. ~

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Ray
ner of Maryland spoke at length in the
senate yesterday IN the currency bill,
condemning the present system Of
banking in the United States and in
cidentally declaring that the president
by his methods of fighting the en-
croachments of predatory wealth had
done much to intensity the panic
through which the country has recent
ly passed.
The pent-up feelings of members
on the issues Of the day and other
topics were given a chance to be aired
in the house of representatives yester-
day. The opportunity came when the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was taken up and gen.
eral debate for an indefinite period
was begun. AS was the case last
week, the tariff question and the presi-
dents message were the principal
themes of discussion.

TUESDAY,,

Washington, Feb. 12.-Debate on the
Aldrich currency bill was begun in
the senate yesterday and was followed
with interest by many bankers who oc-
cupied seats In the galleries. Among
them was j. Pierpont Morgan Of New
York.
Interest in the proceedings Of the
house of representatives yesterday at
tached to a mild criticism of the presi-
dent by Mr.. Tawney, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, for hav-
ing, as Mr.. Tawney charged, appointed
the inland waterways commission
without authority of law. The debate
was on the urgent deficiency bill and
grew out Of a senate amendment to
pay John II. Bankhead. nov senator
from Alabama, for his services on the
commission. The right of the presi-
dent to appoint such commissions was
upheld by Messrs. C~rumpacker of In
diana and Underwood of Alabama. The
house, however, refused TO accept the
amendment.
