The following points of evidence In

The food of whales has long been
known to consist of minute sea cruse
taces. )jr. Gray was familiar not only
with the whale's food, but observed
Its manner of feeding, and the way la
which It took its nap "after meals."
"No doubt," he wrote, "whales are
very particular In the Quality of their
food. for they are never to be found
feeding where the water is dirty, but
almost invariably In clean, clear, dark -
blue or light olive-green waver. Tho

choose a spot where the food is plenti-

the nose just under water. They in-
variably swim from one side of the
boat back again to where they start-
ed from with their mouths open. They
then close their jaws and swaflowl

"They writ go on in this way feed-
ing for an hour or more; after that

their nostrils while asleep, and they
do not do so. Whales can sleep as
well under water as they do upon the

times
