Dinosaur of Ancient Days
Mere Pygmy by Side of the
Blue Whale of Modern Times

1t has been said that the first duty
of whale is to be large-the blue
whale is, then, the most successful
whale, for it is the largest creature
which has ever existed on the earth or
in its waters. Even those extinct giant
reptiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed
along the borders of the inland seas of
Wyoming and Montana 100000 years
ago, could not approach n blue whale
either in length or weight, declares
a writer in the New York Independent.
In 1908 a blue whale was weighed
in sections in Newfoundland. The ami
NAL was 7s feet long, 35 feet around
the shoulders, the head was 10 feet
in length and the tail six feet from tip
to tip. The total weight was 63 tons.
The flesh weighed 40 tons, the blubber
eight tons, the blood, viscera and baleen
seven tons and the bones eight tons.
Exaggerated accounts Of the size Of
blue whales are current even in repu-
table books on natural history, but the
largest specimen which has yet been
actually measured and recorded is 1877
feet long, stranded a few years ago
upon the coast of New Zealand; it
must have weighed ut least rs tons.

Hot Air Bath in Bed.

An apparatus in which one can take
"hot air bath" in ones own bed is
the invention of William F. Erath Of
Rosebank, N. Y. It Is of semicylindrical
shape and consists of half hoops con-
nected by lazy-tong members by means
Of which the apparatus can be col
lapsed when not In use. This frame is
covered with blankets or comfortables
packed closely around 1t to form an ex-
tempOraneous chamber for the occu-
pant. H ni
A suitable heater or alcohol burner
heats the air In . metal drum, which Is
connected BY a pipe with an opening in
the end of the bathing chamber. An
other opening above 1t is for the dis
position Of the used-up air. A rod
with a handle at its end, supported on
q bracket, extends from the heater
along the side Of the bed to point
within convenient reach of the person
enjoying the Apparatus. By this means
the heat supply car be controlled mere
" by reaching out an arm.

Poultry Pointers

A hen, like a human being needs to
be made comfortable in order to do
the best work.
AS soon as the breeding season is
over the male birds should be sepa-
rated from the hens.
The business of our domestic hen is
to produce plenty of eggs, and we must
feed her for them.
Ducks and geese require deep drink
ing vessels, especially if reared and
kept on land.
Spoiled or .decaying flesh, if eaten,
bury the dead.
A little beef scraps or cut fresh
bone will help the pullets and the we'll
molted hens to start laying.
Feeding fowls on one grain, or not
feeding them enough, is very expensive,
because it produces loss instead of a
profit.
Remember that an egg is more than
half water and that the fowls must
have plenty of clean, fresh water to
drink at all times.
If the most of the grain fed to the
fowls is corn it must be balanced by
giving them plenty of wheat bran and
beef scraps or cut fresh bone.
When the hens cannot obtain green
stuff in the fields, it must be supplied
to them in the form of cabbage, man
gels or something of that kind.
While plenty of fresh air is neces-
sary to keep the fowls in good health.
in such way that draft does not
blow on the fowls, especially at night
when they are on the roost.

SURPRISE PARTY.

"The Elves were asked to a Sur
prise Party said Daddy, (which was
being given by the Fairies yesterday
morning just at dawn -. .
"Was it given by the Dawn Fairies?",
asked Nancy.
"Tve forgotten just which ones they
WERE" said Nick.
"Well, first to answer Nancy's ques-

en- by the Dawn Fairies, and second,
for Nick's question, the Dawn Fairies
are those who are playing and frisk
ing about just at Dawn and when
Mr.. Sun shines hard disappear from
view-for they never want to be seen.
"Thc Dawn Fairies We're full of
their schemes and plans for many a
day before they could actually decide
just which day to choose for the Party.
Finally they had arranged everything
and they sent their invitations a day
ahead TO all the Elves in Elfland.
''The invitations We're carried by six
beautiful Fairies in soft rose-colored
dresses. They looked just like the
lights of pink and rose that are seen
in the sky very early some mornings.
These Fairies put the invitations In
Peonies and in Roses and in the dark
blue Iris Flowers that the Elves have
always admired so much.
1.-THE Elves were so pleased to each
receive a Flower with an invitation
hidden in its petals and at once they
began to get their bright green Party
suits ready for the great occasion.
"They all arrived just at Dawn, but
they couldn't see sign of a Fairy.
What could it mean, they asked each
other. Surely they had not mistaken
the day? That would have been a
dreadful thing to have done? But no,
they We're sure they had looked at
their invitations so many times they
could never have made a mistake In
the day.
"And so they chatted among them
selves At last one little Elf said:
"'Why aren't we all silly? This
Is TO be a Surprise Party. Maybe
the Surprise will be that the Fairies
are somewhere around and we have
to find them. Let's look. Anyway.
I'm sure we haven't made mistake
in the day
"The Elves began scampering about
looking for the Fairies, and still they
couldn't find them, though as they
remembered now that it was to be Il
Surprise Party they We're not worried
about having made mistake in the
day.
"At last, coming slowly through the,
woods, the Elves saw one hundred big
Spiders marching along. Then the
Elves stood back to watch what would
happen. And after the one hundred
Spiders had passed along little dis
tance, what should the Elves see be-
hind them but a long twisted web
