Up to the time of answering your very welcome letter we have no fresh news of the flying machine. As soon as we hear anything that we are sure is true we will tell you. Editor
Dear editor:
I wish you would get a pattern of the kite. My teacher reads your paper, and I am very interested in the newspaper. We have it in school. I was seven years old on Sunday. Please put this letter in the newspaper. It is the first one I have ever written. Yours truly,

We are very proud to think that the first letter you have ever written has been to us. Please write again—often. If you will look in the last number of the great Round world you will see an answer to Sydney G. about the kite. We told him just where to find the pattern for it. Editor.
Dear editor:
I want to ask you about the
great monster, and did they take him
to Washington? I am eight
years old. Please put my letter in the
paper. Good-by.

Mr. Merrill, the Acting Curator of the Smithsonian Institution, has been kind enough to send us the following letter about the monster that was washed ashore on the coast of Florida.
Our young readers should get The American Naturalist, and read the article. Editor.
Editor of the great Round world:
In reply to your letter of April 4th, I regret to say that the nature of the animal which was washed ashore on the coast of Florida is still undetermined. Some authorities are inclined to regard the remains as a portion of the head of a whale. On pages 304-307 of the April number of The American Naturalist is a very full discussion of the subject by Professor A.E. Verrill, of Yale College. This may be of interest to you.
Yours
respectfully,
George
E. Merrill,
Acting
Executive Curator.
Washington, April 9th, 1897.

Examinations
Have you thought of the Relief
Maps for examination work?
Are you following from day
to day the war in the East?
Klemm’s Relief Practice Maps
especially adapted to examination
work, as they are perfectly free
from all political details.
Any examination work may be done on them.
For following the Eastern Question use Klemm’s Roman Empire, and record each day’s events. Small flags attached to pins, and moved on a map as the armies move, keep the details before you in a most helpful way, especially when you use the Relief Maps.
Sample set, Relief
maps (15), $1.00
