When a Dead Whale Sinks.
It happens on rare occasions that a
dying whale, "sounding" deeply, fails
to rise again to the surface and re
mains in the sea depths after death.
The "fish" is not lost, however. Prom
some unexplained cause the gases set
free by decomposition inside the car
cass find their way to the whale's
tongue. This ofgan becomes inflated,
resembling a huge balloon, and by its
buoyancy brings the body of the dead
whale to the surface, when it is picked
up by the crews. The process of infla
tion and flotation commences within a
few hours of death, and the lapse of
two or three days will generally suf
fice to bring the body of a "lost" whale
up from the sea tiooi\—Exchange.

/V b 1 ' map prepared by the State Department of Health shows a close relationship between the distribution of infantile
paralysis in Pennsylvania and the direct lines of travel between this State and New York City, where the epidemic has reached large proportions.
It is evident that those sections of the State which are in close contact through the intercourse of travel have by far the largest number of
cases. This demonstrates the necessity for the quarantine which has been ordered to protect the children of the Commonwealth from the- uafcartaaate
tate of thousands in neighboring

YOUR WORK. |
It is no man's business if he

must, whatever he is, but quiet- 11

ly and steadily, and the natural "

j || work will always be the thing
that God meant him to do and 11 j
will be his best. If he be a

if thus peacefully done, they 1

The Untidy Horse Chestnut.
Those who liave experienced the diffi
culty of keeping a lawn clean where
horse chestnut trees are growing will
appreciate the following composition
by a ten-year-old boy, which appeared
in the New York Tribune:
"The horse chestnut tree is a great
shade tree. But ft is rather a nuisance
| because of the blossoms dropping all
over the grass, next the little green
i chestnuts fall all over the ground,
: next the big horse chestnuts fall with
i the burrs, next the great large leaves
fall and dry up, and it takes time to
rake them all up, and they won't burn
| like other leaves. So if I were plant
ing treesj would plant a majile tree."

One of the big hotels In the uptown

i and a fourteenth, but the figure 13
L does not appear on the dial. From
the 1200's the rooms jump to the
t Clerks in hotels which have a
; ; thirteenth floor say that the number of
t patrons who insist on avoiding the
hoodoo number is large. Frequently
