Earth's Largest Animal.

The largest animal alive today, and probably the largest living thing the world has ever known, is the blue or sulphur bottom whale. The whale reaches a length of ninety feet and weighs over seventy-five tons. Ten or twelve men can stand upright in the mouth of a blue whale, although its throat is but nine inches in diameter. lt lives almost entirely on little red crustaceans, and from a partly filled stomach of blue whale over 1000 pounds of shrimps have been taken.
 Its strength is enormous, and time and again after it has been harpooned it has dragged a fair sized ship with Inc later's engines. racing at full speed astern. though the water for many rods as though it were a rowboat. It s one of the so-called whale bohe'' whales. and yields flesh to eat, sperm pill and bone, so that a single large whale will almost pay for a ships Eoyage. It suckles it's young, and is a vigorous fighter when protecting its 0ff-spring. A fineback whale, close relative Of the blue, can make a speed 70 equal a fast steamship.
