Arthur M. M.—There will be a table of contents published at the end of every volume of Young People.
Harry S.—An answer to your question would occupy too much space in this department. It will, however, be made the subject of a separate article in some future number of Young People.
J. U. B.—Any taxidermist will give you the desired information.
Jessie S.—The great Greenland whale which is found in the Northern Ocean has a throat so small that it can not swallow anything larger than a herring. Its principal food consists of a small marine mollusk, about an inch and a half long. It catches its dinner by rushing through the water with its immense jaws wide open. When its mouth is full, it ejects the water, while the whalebone fringe with which it is provided catches all the little sea-creatures, which serve as food for the monster. The sperm-whale has a much larger throat, and is said to be able to swallow a man.
Charles H. B.—There are so many kinds of worms, snakes, and other little creatures which may be the architects of the holes you have noticed, that you had better dig open some of the little dwellings, and see what you can find. Dig very carefully, and send word to Young People's Post-office if you discover anything curious.
