ESOulMAu DOGS.
How and with what Food the Dogs in the
Arctic Regions Are Rcd.

How and with what Food the Dogs in the
Arctic Regions Are rcd.
The duty of feeding the dogs is often
inirustcd TO the boys, and it is no easy
work The most common food for the
dogs is walrus-sltin, about nm inch TO
an inch and half thick, cut In strips
each about as wide as il is thick, and
from a foot 10 eighteen inches long.
The dog swallows one OF these strips as
hc would snake, and il Is so tough
that when he has swallowed about
twelve pieces il is no great wonder that
hc does not want anything moro for
two days. Sometimes they cut the food
up into little pieces inside tho i1i0O.
whore the dogs can not trouble them.
and then throw il out on the snow. but
tbi. is not altogether good way; for
then the little dogs get IL all while
the biz dogs are lighting, for these big
buriy fellows are sure TO have an un-
nccc sary row over each feeding. If
pieces too large to swallow at n pulp
arc thrown out the largo dogs get tho
food; and so, between the biz dog and
the little dogs, the Fsquimau boys have
hard time making an equal distribu-
tion among the animals.
One winter night. | remember. whilo
on our slcdge journey, returning TO
North Iludson's Bay, Tooloonh was
feeding his dogs with no one 90 help
him. He was on his knees near the
igloo door, and throwing the bits to the
various dogs the heads OF which were
crowded i'm tho entrance One big dog.
aftor il had received It's share, hnUnq
driven all the other dogs away, seemed
determined not TO leave. Toolooah
grew angry, seized his stick and rushed
out after il 10 settle matters But he
came rushing back oven faster than he
went out seized his gun hurricdly. and
as hastily was gone again Before we
could surmisc what IL meant shot was
heard, and i'm q few seconds more Too
lOOah came crawling I'm, dragging "a
big wolf after him, its white fangs
showing i'm It's black mouth i'm "a way
that made ~ shudder This was the
big dog Toolooah had bccn feeding.
but IL did not understand the customs
OF th, EsIuimau dogs well enough o.
know that it must stop eating when only
half satisfied and this ignorance cost 10
It's life. LfcUicHnt Fredertck SchUut-

SEEKING FOR BIG GUNS.
A Circular Letter from the Commission
of the House.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-The commits
sion Of the House of Representatives,
consisting OF Congressman Randall,
Hewitt, Burnes, Crisp, Hiscock, Reed,
and Phelps, appointed to report upon the
policy to be adopted by the government to
secure supply Of ordnance and armed
plate, has sent a circular letter to the
leading manufacturers of steel In this
country asking information as to their
Willingness to undertake to supply the
raw material required for the manufac-
ture OF guns, or suns completely finished
ready for use.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD.
The commission calls attention to the
recommendation of the gun foundry
board "that the government should estab-
nsh on It's own territory plant for the
fabrication OF cannon, and should con-
tract with private parties to such amounts
as would enable them 10 supply from the
private industries of the country forged
and tempered material"
In view Of this recommendation the
commission asks to be informed whether
steel manufacturers will be willing to en-
ter into contract with the government
of the United States to supply material.
including the rough boring, turning and
tempering required for guns OF the largest
cauDre, involving the use of ingOts of steel
OF the weight of 100 tons, with a reason
able proportion Of ingots of smaller size.
THE STEEL NEEDED.
II willing to enter into such a contract,
manufacturers are asked 10 inform the
committee how many tons of steel in the
aggregate they would regard as q reason
able amount TO be contracted for, deliver
able over a series OF years, to be paid for
upon inspection and delivery. The COM
mission also desires to ascertain whether
manufacturers would be willing TO put up
the machinery necessary to complete the
guns, if the contract for steel, as above
suggested. should further provide for the
delivery Of the guns ready for use.
FINISHING GUNS.
The latter query may, the commission
says, also be answered by parties who
would not be willing 10 engage in the
production OF raw material and who
might be willing to undertake to build
the guns required by the government.
The commission will meet in the city OF
New York, at the New York hotel, Nov.
IL next, to consider answers to this cir
cular, and will give q hearing to any
parties who may desire to present their
views in person on that day at O'Clock.
Answers to the circular are requested be-
fore Nov. 10, to be addressed TO Samuel j .
Randall, chairman, BerWyn, Chester
county, PENNSYLVANIA.
