DYING SPECIES ..
Blue Whale Lures
Crowd to New Hall

overhead against one side Of
the wall In q diving position.
One adult. who had been
trying TO sneak a look at the
whale for the past two years,
seemed exhausted when 1t ac-
tually stood right there before
him.
The great whale. that follows
migrational routes from the
polar to the temperate seas, is
depicted returning to the
depths after coming to the sur
face for air.
Scouting a 20-foot blow" Of
warm breath that condenses in
the cold air and gives out a
strange metallic sound, the
whale may blow seven times
from the spout on top of its
head.
Then comes the beautiful
curving Of its torpedo-shaped
body for the dive that may take
it to a depth Of 100 fathoms
for 20-40 minutes of feeding
on small crustaceans.
Lives rs Years
DR.. Kellogg estimates the life
span Of a blue whale at rs
years. The female Of the spe-
ciess such as the one on ex-
hibit now. may reproduce one
whale calf every 2 TO 8 years.
Were the blue whale not buoyed
up by the water, its great
weight would crush its frame
work. q,
John Widener. Smithsonians
exhibit specialist, supervised
the construction Of the Atom
plastic exhibit that is mounted
on a wooden framework. The
most difficult problem was
building the model to exact
contours and suspending 1t "a
feet above the floor at the
highest point. he says. The
product represents a
living whale that would weigh
about 1876 tons.
AS a spectator looks head-on
at the upper jaw that opens
like a lid for feeding. the whale
is wearing a silly sort Of grin.
The mafimys eyes. setSat the
end Of the mouth opening, are
golden and.tlie size OF baseballs.
Other exhibits include prod
ucts Of the sea, examples Of the
most abundant groups Of m
vertebrate animals OF the sea,
and other displays including
models Of dolphins. sharks. and
other fish.

AND so IT WAS. A walk
below revealed that the trees
were japanese pagodas. Sew
eral large ones stand north
Of the Capitol. It's no trick
to identify them. They are
labeled with metal tags nail
ed to the trunks. They look
like elms, and their branches
are fringed with strings
of seed, something like elm
seeds, except the latter hang
one by one. The japanese
trees are hung with seeds all
winter.
The Capitol is surrounded
by one of the Nations most
interesting arboretums, con-
tanning many exotics planted
about a century ago, under
the direction of Frederick
Law Olmsted, the land
scape architect who laid out
Central Park in New York.
Although the sign of
spring was premature, it
was too nice to go back. The

The sun was lighting the
west facade of the Capitol,

would have made its many
