in thia position the blowholes appear
first at the surface and tha whale can
begin to breaths while the rest of the
body la under water. Since the whale
breathes air, when below the surface
the breath must be held, for if water
were taken Into the lungs the animal
wonld drown. Thus, aa soon as it
comes up, the breath which haa been
contained In tha lungs under pressure
is highly heated, and as It is forcibly
expelled and atrlkea the cold air. It
condenses and forms a column of steam
or vapor 13 to 20 feet high. After the
delivery of the spout, the lungs are
refilled, blowholes opened widely and
protruded upward to prevent a .wave
from filling the nasal passages.
B pouting Heard for Miles.
During spouting and the inhalation
of breath, the rush of air through the
pipelike nostrils produces a loud, me
tallic, whistling sound, which can
often be heard three or four miles in
a fog or Tin a calm sea-
Whales have no vocal organs, so this
la tha sound meant when the old
whalers tell stories of the whale "bel
lowing like a bull."
About 20 minutes Is the limit for a
whale to stay under water without
rising to snout. Notwithstanding all
that the whalers say, tho theory is
that they sleep while floating on the
surface.
The external ears, like the useless
hind limbs, offered resistance to the
water, so they too, have disappeared;
tha water, being such a wonderful
sound conductor, the ear orifices of
these huge animals are only about the
size of a lead pencil.
Soma of the internal modifications
are Just as remarkable as the external
changes. The brain is greatly con
voluted and of high type, while it is
especially notable for the losa or the
olfactory or smelling portions, which
are of no use to an aquatic mammaL
Whale la Affectionate.
Tba whale la an affectionate animal
and will administer a blow with its
long fins which on a still day can
be heard for miles. The mother shows
great affection for her eight-ton calf,
and will lift that portion of her body :
out of water to suckle it and prevent
the sea water mixing with the milk.
The young whale's mouth is so con
structed that It cannot suck, so the
mother has to eject a stream of milk
two or three feet. The milk looks ex
actly like cow's cream.
Whales weigh from 40 to 80 tons.
Undoubtedly tho reason why they can
attain such an enormous size is be
cause their bodies are supported by the
water in which they live. A bird is
limited to the weight its wings can
bear up la the air. A land animal. If

A little study of tho whaler will be
Interesting, as every intelligent person
likes to know what be la eating.
Tho whale la not a fish, although It
lives In tho sea. There la undiaputable
evidence that these huge creatures once
lived, upon land and walked on four
i legs, like any other animal. Then as
they gradually changed from a terres
Hal to an aquatic life, the shape of
their bodies changed to an elongated,
torpedo shape, suitable for existence In

so tho layer of blubber or fat devel

the entire length and some whales at

Tb adaptation of the feeding and
breathing apparatus to the aqnatle life
seems the most remarkable of alL
The nostrils, instead of opening Into
the back of the mouth, aa In all land
animals, are directly connected with
the lungs by a prolongation of the
trachea or windpipe, which shuts off
tho whale's breathing passage entirely
from tha mouth. Thus tha animal can
swallow Its food beneath .tr.e surface
without danger of strangulation
through getting water Into Its lungs.
The nostrils or blow-boles migrated
upward to tbe very aummlt of the head
instead of at the end of tha. anout.

Many people think that whales live
on fish, whereas none except the sperm
whale does so when other food is to
be obtained. Tbe little red shrimp,
which 19 about three-quarters of an
Inch long, is the favorite food. These
minute crustaceans float in great
masses, sometimes near the surface.

The quantity of-shrimp eaten by a

OC! Oh. Doc! Come quick."
Tha interne at the Emer
gency Hospital Jumped from
his chair and ran Into the hall. Cold
chills began playing leap-frog over his
vertebrae when ha learned why he was
called.
The speaker was one of four husky
policemen who were carrying a fifth
man into the hospital. Each bluecoat
had seized an arm or a leg, and they
were carrying the patient In a way
that would have meant court-martial
and execution for any Army stretcher-
bearers who attempted it.
But the thing wouldn t have happened
at all in a well-regulated army. Even
a Bolshevik soldier would have been
named to act tbe way that patient
behaved. He kicked and fought as if
he were a Hun ambassador at a meet
lug of the .Truth Society.
Tbe Interne was somewhat Inexper
ienced. In fact, it was his first case.
He had helped at operations In hospi
tals where white-aproned nurses anes
thetlze the patients and cart them
into the operating-room. But. for one
ttilng. no nurses are employed in Port
land's Emergency Hospital. For an
other thing, this particular Interne, on
account of his Inexperience, had been
forbidden to use anesthetics. " The In

one.
"Get a move on. can't ye?" demanded
another. The two others scowled at
the interne until he felt like a small
boy caught stealing watermelons.
"Put put htm on the operating
table," the Interne said at last, in a
very small voice. "I think he's Bick."
The police obeyed. Tbe interne felt
the patient's pulse. It was. pounding
strongly, just as a healthy man's pulse
might be expected to do after a strug

terne asked.

here. Doctor, and X-don't know what's
the matter with him," the Interne
sobbed.
The city 'physician had been some

His arrival there had a soothing ef

operating-room. "Here's Doc," an

time was sicker than most patients
get and live.
Well, to cut it short, the city phy
sician, after about a dozen quick ques

sick at all. The man confessed that
he had pretended to faint in order to

The Emergency Hospital Is on the

was opened in 1913. when police head
quarters were transferred to the new
structure.

on serious cases are required to report

The hospital is conducted by the city
health bureau. An average of 100
cases a month is handled there.
The injuries vary from the skinned

fallen from his bicycle to the frac
tured skull of an unfortunate joy rider.
Serious cases are transferred to other
hospitals after first-aid has been ren
dered, because the small force at the
Emergency Hospital cannot undertake
the nursing of critically sick patients.

They do, not because It is a fad. bnt
because they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful.
Tbey have found that in washing the

shift, but is always advisable to use a
preparation made for shampooing only.
Many of our friends say they get the

a' cost of about 3 cents a shampoo by
getting some Canthrox from your drug-
