BLUE WHALE The biggest animal that ever lived is the blue whale. Even the tremendous dinosaurs of the Age of Reptiles never reached the size of the blue whale. A newborn baby blue whale weighs about eight tons and is about 25 feet long. A blue whale weighs about a ton for every foot of its length. They grow to be 100 feet long. Whales are not fish although they live exclusively in the water. Whales are mammals. They breath air and feed their young on milk as do all mammals. There are more than a hundred different kinds of whales and these "Floating FuneraV have been divided into two orders.

Too much weight had been placed on one lide of it. "While I watched the barge tilted a foot or so more and the water came up over the top of the tracks. It didn't look so good to me. I started to climb down with the intention of getting ashore as fast as I could." John swung out onto the grab irons and dropped between two strings of cars. As he hit the deck he felt it rise under him. The barge tilted to a 45 degree angle and then things began happening so fast that John couldn't keep track of them. Avalanche of Coal Buries John Alive! He heard a resounding splash as the cars on the north track wera dumped into the water. In front of him the cars on the middle track fell over on their sides with a great clattering of iron and a roar of falling coal. Then something hit him in the back and he went down. "For a minute," he says, "I didn't know what hit me. Then I realized that it must be the coal falling from the cars behind me as they overturned. It had come down and covered me up. I couldn't move a muscle and I couldn't breathe very well. At first I thought I was at the bottom of the river with all that coal on top of me, but after a minute I heard voices." Well, sir, when John heard those voices he started to yell. He yelled at the top of his lungs, but the pile of coal that covered him absorbed the sound as fast as it came out of his throat. He could hear the other men talking and shouting as they moved around the barge, but doggone if he could make them hear him. Fifty Tons Is Tough on a Man's Constitution. The coal fifty tons of it was crushing the life out of him and it was getting harder to breathe all the time. John lay in agony listening to the voices fade away. Were they going to leave him there to die--to ruffocate? Suddenly he heard someone cry out: "Where's John? He's still missing." His heart leaped as they began calling his name. "I started to yell again," he says, "but I. was closed in. The voices came nearer and I began to kick. I could hear them talking right beside me, but I couldn't get their attention. Then my heart sank as they moved away again and I thought of every-thin- g I had ever done in my life. I was only twenty-twand I didn't want to die." The voices faded and died out then they began to come back again. They were yelling John's name now at the top of their lungs. Then, all of a sudden, he heard someone cry, "Here he is," and felt a hearty tug at his leg. They bad found his foot sticking a few inches out of the pile of coal. "That," says John, "is when I uttered a prayer of thanksgiving. A dozen dock hands started digging and finally they pulled me out. I took a deep breath of fresh air and well I was laid up for the next four months. Fifteen minutes under fifty tons of coal is touch on a man's constitution."
