Philadelphia. Feb. 12-The govern

sponsibiiity for the loss of forty-one
lives at sea when the Merchants and
Miners liner Nantucket sank the Old
Dominion steamer Monroe off the Vir-
ginia capes. was resumed hs-e today

that il the wireless operators on both
ships had been in communication with
each other the accident might have been
averted.
Capt. Edward f. Johnson. of the Old
Dominion liner Monroe. continuing his
testimony today, startled the big audi

Il can figure out no course of ction
which. considering the conditions of fog

CANNED WHALE FLESH
MAKES DAINTY DISH
R. c. Andrews Writes National Geo
graphic Society that Flesh Should
Be Used for Food.

III the American and European people
could be educated to the point of eating
the canned flesh of animals which indi-
vidually yield as much as $1,000 pounds
of meat, what a wonderful food supply
would be within reach of the poor of our
great cities" writes Roy Chapman An
drews. of New York, in n communication
on whaling TO the National Geographic
Society at Washington He predicts that
as a result of the world hunt for the
monarch of the seas the commercial ex-
tinction of the large whales within a very
few decades is inevitable.
Except in Japan. he says, great portions
of the flesh of the animals, which is
palatab,e and heaIthfnl. is now going to
waste or is being used for fertilizing pur-
poses
Few people realize that the blue, or
sulphur bottom, whale found in all our
oceans is not only the largest animal
that lives today, but is also, so far as is
known, the largest animal that has ever
existed on the earth or in its waters"
w11es Mr. Andrews. Specimens have
been measured which reached a length of
eighty-seven feet. and in all probability
weighed as much as seventy-five toms
Although the mouth is enormous. large
enough, in fact. to permit ten or twelve
men to stand upright in il. the throat
measures only nine inches in diameter.
These animals. like most of the
'whalebone whales usually feed on mi
mute crusteceans, a shrimp about three
quarters of an inch long. They probably
never eat fish of any kind il other food
is to be had, and of the nany stomachs

thing but the little red crustaceans be

whale at Vancouver Island five barrels OF
shrimp were. taken. and it was by no

The fancy Bostons, in which the dip ana
Dorothea have an almost equal popularity
with the skip and variation Bostons, are
steadily gaining In general use.
In the two preceding articles the plain
Boston and the first figure in the Spanish
Boston were explained and illustrated.
Now we approach the second variation
figure in the Spanish Boston back-to-
back affair. which is one OF the most
beautiful bits I have ever seen done on
a ballroom floor.
: The effectiveness OF this figure Is totally
dependent upon the deliberateness and
grace of its execution. and when IT Is
ipterchanged with the first Spanish Bos-
ton variation-and the plain Boston
figures as chorus-it Is astonishing how
much variety can be obtained. The use
Of the plain Boston. as may be compre-
hended. serves to break the monotony
to the eve. and on this account these two
figures are quite as satisfactory as hait
a dozen others in dances where there
must be a continual shifting OF open

Assume, now. that the two dancers
are in close positions and have completed
