Killer Whale Has No Equal for Ferocity Tb« Killer whale is the undisputed champion of the sea, declares Mack Sennstt, who, as a hobby, has made an exhaustive study of marine life In Ixiwer California seas. “If there Is anything that can lick the killer whale. I have never heard of It," Sennett says. “Everything that swims the j waters of the earth dreads the terri ble killer whale. "Strictly speaking," the writer ex j plains, “it Isn't a fish; it Is an air breathing mammal about 3b feet long It has huge Jaws and heavy fighting teeth. Its head suggests the head of a bulldog, as does Its disposition What makes It more terrible than other big sea monsters Is Its great speed. Nothing can escape It. “The favorite dish of the killer whale Is the succulent tongue of the real whale,” the writer continues. “Its method of killing the whale Is curious When the big fellow comes up t< breathe, the killer fastens Its jaws on the whale's blowhole and does not lei go Finally, dying of suffocation, the whale thrusts out its great, agonized tongue. The killer nips tlds off and goes blithely on Its way. 'll Is a com mon sight to find a tongueless dead whale floating in the water.” Find New Evidences of Coal Formation Evidence that coal was formed at the bottoms of ancient lakes, and not In vast swamps or bogs as com monly supposed, Is advanced by Prof E. C. Jeffrey of Harvard university In an article In Science. Professor Jef frey’s studies were conducted on coals from geological formations of tertiarj age, which ts much more recent than the source of most of the coal In this country, but which supplies remains of plants more like those growing today and hence more significant to the botanist as far as their habits are concerned Earlier studies of slmilai coals had disclosed wood structures which were taken to be of cypresses and since cypresses are swamp trees this was taken as evidence for the classical theory of coal formation Professor Jeffrey's Investigations, how ever, have shown that these supposed cypress-llke woods were really from redwoods and similar trees that nor maily grow on well-drained upland soils and never In swamps. His con elusion, therefore. Is that these coal beds are the remains of great masses of water-logged vegetation washed down from the hills by rivers and de posited In the bottoms of huge lakes Proper Diet Brings Poise Person* who lack poise, who Mre In dined to be nervous and quickly up set or provoked, should be extremely careful of their diet. In the morning they should confine their breakfast to a simple easily-prepared cereal or fruit If they must have something to drink, they should take nothing stronger than warm milk or chocolate At noon let them rigidly adhere to a substantial salad or vegetable dinner Lean, fresh meat, fowl or fish may be added for variety at times The eve nlng meal, embracing fruits and nuts blended Into an appetizing and attrac tlve fruit and out salad, with whole wheat bread and butter, will be suffl clent. These foods contain all the elements necessary to nourish the body. They soothe and strengthen the nerves They calm the blood Very few veteran vegetarians fly Into a rage or lose their poise.—Psychology Magazine. Cousin Meets Cousin The woman was visiting at a home where two little cousins were meet Ing for the first time. The visiting cousin from the West had never met any of her relations before, and the mothers of both little girls were anx lous that the afternoon should pass oIT smoothly. They drank tlielr tea and contrlbut ed to the general conversation with half an ear for sounds of strife that might, they were afraid. Issue from the nursery.

These birds were go called “colony birds,” and nested In great quantities In certain vicinities This made It possible for hunters t< wipe out great numbers with verj little effort. There are many tradl tlons accounting for the extinction ol these birds, one being that forest fires In woods where they roosted destroyed great numbers.
