riba, although mauy persona believe
that It conies from the (all of the big
mammal. Both notions are incorrect.
The function of whulclmno in the
life o f the whale is o f the utmost im-
' porta lice.
The inner edges o f the
whalebone plates are frayed into In
numerable hairlike processes, and the
whole forms a sort of sieve whereby
the whale may sift out its food from
the sen water. It must be remembered
that the food of this gigantic crea
ture consists chiefly of minute organ
isms. cnistreen, mollusc«. etc., floating
near the outface.
When tile whale opens Its mouth aild
moves along a great multitude of these
minute forms o f life find their way in.
Then the whale « loses ils mouth, and
the water is strained out through the
whalebone sieve, ami the food is re
tained.
The common uses of whalebone are
known to everybody. It Is. however,
