CARRIES WEALTH IN MOUTH
Bowhead Whale Worth Much Money
II Only That Part of Its Anat-
omy Were disable.

A full-grown bowhead whale is
worth $4,000 merely for the whale
bone 1t carries in its mouth. This is
the species that furnishes the bulk of
the commercial supply of whalebone,
which is now worth $3.50 a pound. 1t
is denizen of Arctic seas.
The bowhead, like other whalebone
whales, has no teeth Instead its jaws
are furnished with a series of long,
tapering slabs of a horny substance
fringed with hair. OF these slabs,
which are the whalebone of commerce,
there are as many as 600.
The biggest of them are 10 to II
feet long and they are inserted in the
gum Of the upper jaw, from which
they hang. They serve as a sieve TO
strain out the whales food. Swim
ming along, it takes a huge mouthful
of squids and other pelagic small fry,
Then the huge trap is closed and, the
slabs entering and fitting into grooves
in the lower jaw, the water is ex-
PEELED.

MICROBES HAVE LONG LIFE
Neither Time Nor Heat Seem to Have
Much Effect on Some Micro
Organisms.

Eternal youth seems to have been
accorded in full measure to some
microbes. Before the French Academy
of Science Prof. Yves Delage read
paper reporting discoveries by Doctor
Gallipe, who is credited with finding
in century-old paper organisms still
living. According to this report, these
organisms resisted heat of 24S degrees
Fahrenheit.
''Time no more than heat seems to
have had effect on these little organ-
isms. as Doctor Gallipe has found liv-
ing ones in paper of the fifteenth and
eighteenth centuries" said Professor
Delage. "They are capable of cultiya-
tion and of movement.
"AIOre than that, Doctor Gallipe has
found in fragments of paper of Chi
nese manuscript dating before the age
of printing heterogeneous still living
and able to move and that multiplied
under suitable methods of culture"

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
placing of Cap and Bells on English
Paper Was the Origin of the
Word "FooIscap."

Several explanations have been CIV
en- of the meaning of the word fools
cap" as applied to certain class of
paper. One of the explanations is that
when Charles of England found his
revenue short, he granted certain priv
ileges, amounting to monopolies, and
among these was the manufacture of
paper, the exclusive right to which
was sold to certain parties, who grew
rich and enriched the government at
the expense of those who We're obliged
to use the paper. At this time all
English paper bore, in watermarks,
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law, and
among other indignities to the menu
ory of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and the FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted. These were in their turn
removed when the Rump parliament
was dismissed, but paper for the size
of the parliament's journal still bears
the name of ''foolscap."

HONEY IS PROFITABLE CROP
Product Is Always in Good Demand
and Some Home Club Members
Have Made Good Profits.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
There is always a ready sale for
good honey, the members of home
clubs organized by the department Of
agriculture and the state agricultural
colleges have discovered. Some mem
hers have made a remarkable success
of the work. One in Morgan county,
Kentucky, is known as the "Bee
Woman" not only because of the size
of her enterprise but because of her
ability in handling the swarms. She
had $50 hives of bees last summer
From rs of them she has harvested
500 pounds of honey in six months.
The home-demonstration agents teach
beekeeping to any women
in their counties who are interested in
bees. Often the difference between a
money-making swarm and hive
which barely supplies its own needs
is lack of knowledge.

THE SUFFERER

How often have you heard that sad

haps the disorder has gone too far for
help, but oftener it is just in its first
stages and the pains and aches are only
natures first cries for help. Do NOT
despair. Find out the cause and give
nature all the help you can and she
viii repay you with health. Look after
the kidneys. The kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work Of
filtering and throwing off the poison
that constantly accumuIates in the sys-
TEN, everything goes wrong. GOLD

traps, how to set them, and gives 9TH
er information. The methods dis
cussed are especially adapted to the
Pacific coast states, but with mod
ifications will apply to all localities
where moles are found.
Muskrats Still Numerous.
While minks, raccoons, and skunks
have become somewhat scarce in GER
tain localities, muskrats have not di-
unfinished in numbers except in places
where the marshes have been drained.
These animals multiply much more
rapidly than many other fur bearers,
and because of their aquatic retreats
and their habits are better fitted TO
maintain their numbers under rea-
sonable protection. Muskrat pelts this
season should bring from 70 cents to
81 each. Though the price of cotton
tail rabbit skins is low-15 cents to
35 cents pound for dry cased skins
this source of income should not
be overlooked by the temperatures,
as frequently large number of these
animals can be caught in the course
of the winter There is frequently
good market for the rabbit meat also.
Among other fur-bearing animals
more or less widely distributed
throughout the country are opossums,
badgers, and, for western regions,
coyotes and wolves.
Handling the Fur.
If the farmer who temporarily turns
trapper is to realize the best prices for
pelts, he must learn the proper meth
DDS of handling them. Most skins
should be "cased" for the market. A
cased skin is one removed from the
carcass after Sitting the hind legs
but not the belly of the animal, there
by leaving a tubular shaped pelt. The
skin is left with the fur turned in, and
dried on a stretclIer made of thin
board sharpened to point, or of
heavy galvanized wire.
The biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture fur
nishes on application information re-
garding the trapping of fur-bearing
animals, laws relating to the subject
and the preparation Of pelts. 1t also
supplies inquirers with lists of buyers
for various kinds of pelts.
