Slaughter OF Seals by Marauders

"Unless the laws prohibiting the kill
ing of seals by maraudcls are faithfully
enforced" said Representative Dinglcy,
of Maine, recently, ''it will not be live
years before the valuable seal rookeries
on the Alaskan seal islands, which now
yield the United States Government au
annual revenue of over $500, 900 Ito be
probably increased to half MI lionl,
will be destroyed, as all the South Sea
rookerieS have been. The fur seals re-
sort to the Alaskan seal islands Gvo
months in the year to bring forth md
rear their young, the females leaving
their young upon the shores and going
out into the waters of the Behring Sea
daily for food. If marauders are allowed
to pursue and kill the females while
they are searching for food, not only do
the females perish, but also their young.
More than that, not more than one out
of seven females killed in the water is
recovered so that 10000 sealskins. ab
600 female seals destroyed, and the youn q
in addition; while The regular and au-
thorized killing on the land by authority
of the Government is confined to the non
breeding male seals, thus preserving seal
life."

A Faitkful Peathsred Pet.

The keennsss OF vision and the per-
ceptive faculties of the carrier pigeon
have been not&d in song and prose, but
it is doubtful whether the most fanciful
writer ever fuggested the probability
that the ''angNls Of the air" could find
their way to{ their homes after an
absence of njHe months. This has hap
pened, hoSeSer. and q bkeowned in
Pittsbfrg by Mr.. Hermann Haupt. o.
Sardh street, south side, is entitled to
the fdistinction that belongs to the
feat{ The Dispatch, of Pittsburg, says
that one day in June of last year Mr..
Hatpt and several of his south side
friends, who are pigeon fanciers, sent a
large\pnmber OF carrier pigeons to Rich
monT Ind, on a trial trip. They were
all excellent flyers, and had been away
cn aigood many excursions Of almost
that distance. Among Others Haupt
sent the one which only returned the
other day.
The pigeon is named Favorite, and it
has very good record as q fast and sure
racer. Haupt was much astonished,
therefore, that Favorite did not return
the next day, but he was even moro
astonished when he saw the bird alight
and walk into it's own coop the other
day. Haupt thinks that somebody
caught the pigeon and locked it up. with
view of keeping it, and he values
Favorite now more than ever.

EiRel Tower Elevators.

persons up to the first story and 75O
persons to the top in an hour, and count

As to the means required for that result
It is estimated ut four hundred horse

1T the foot of the tower a pump of four
hundred horse power, which will send
