! TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious Old SCHOOL, Report Mads IA
Boston In 1872.

0O6NOU III H<Zs
In the town records of tn. city OF
Boston there is curious passage
which records how a schooinaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner In which the visit OF inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play. although
ilsle was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May.
1922. it is set forth that:
Coll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah Al
len Esqr. 6 John Edwards together
with the Select men, vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the Oath apll
1922, and Examined the Scholars I'M
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Soy
phering & the masters ability of teach
Ing & Instructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are Of Opinion
That 1t will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr. anger in that Employ"
Whereupon 1t was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
ttnue master of the "said South
school,"
1t is true that nothing is said Of the
methods OF spelling inculcated ut the
"wrighting School," and 1t il also pos.
sible that a clerk rather than the COM
mittee was responsible for the errors
Of the record, but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as It
stands.-Exchange.

THE BLUE WHALE.
a Monster Skeleton That 10 Eighty.
seven Feet In Length.

a Monster Skeleton That 10 Eighty.
seven Feet In Length.
What Is claimed US the largest ami
NAL In the world Is represented by q
colossal skeleton in the museum Of
Christchurch. New Zealand, says the
London Globe. This is the remains of
a large specimen of the blue whale
stranded on the coast Of that country.
This whale is probably the largest Of
all living animals. The length Of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight Of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name Of blue whale from the dark
blush gray Of its upper surface. The
tinge Of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which 1t is known on the western side
OF the Atlantic 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual Balenoptera sib-
baldii).
The chief food Of this gigantic ami
NAL is small marine crustacean
(Thysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as ''kril." Another species Of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found in enormous numbers
in the Greenland sens form the chief
food of the common whale. Some Of
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity Of the
sea.
