Young Fur Seals.

When the young seal is about a month old its education begins One may wonder wherein this consists, and this feeling will be intensified when we learns that 1t consists in teaching the young to swim. It seems paradoxical one can hardly believe it-that the finest swimmer of all amphibious crea- lures, which spends half its existence at sea. has no moro idea of swimming at first than one of our babies. But it is fact Take pup and put it out of its depth, and straightway its bull let head sinks, its hind parts flop about impotently. and it's death by s'lffoca- tion is the question of only few min utes, the little creature not having the least idea of lifting up its head and getting the air. Such being tho case, It's education is a question of some little time, and is thus effected: At about six weeks old his instinct takes him down to the waters edge, where hc paddles about all day long, now and then washed by tho surf, and now left high and dry, in another mo- ment perhaps to be rolled over and over by the water. After few min- utes of this he gets tired. curls himself round and round like a cat oP dog on the hearth rug, and goes to sleep. but only for a shoft time, for the seal at all ages is the most restless of all creatures. Then again to the surf, paddling about like our own boys and girls. every day expanding his own ideas, and proving to himself that water is not such dreadful thing after all By repeated efforts then he learns to keep himself anoat. to recog- nize his own powers, and become thor oughly master of the element in which he has to spend the greater portion ot his life. All the Year Round
