SEA LIONS.

ened to the task of ruthlessly destroying
these intelligent beasts, resembling as they
do beautiful dogs with great human eyes.
Was it not these animals that ancient
fishermen used to mistake for mermen
because they were so human-like? Some
of the views in black and white referred to
were sketched a few years ago. when the
seal islands were covered for miles with
countless thousands of these creatures,
the warmth of their bodies in the moist
air exhaling clouds of steam that we'll
nigh obscured the landscape. The ex-
tinction of their kind is but question of
few years unless means are taken to stop
the ruthless destruction of them. 1t is
reckoned by those who know best that ten
years protection will restore their num-
bers, but will it be given?
Among the models spoken of is one
representing bit of cliff, such as stretches
for nineteen miles along the shore of st.
Georges island, towering in places to the
height of 500 feet above the sea level.
The face of the rack, scanned with narrow
lodges, is crowded with sea birds of many
sorts, chiefly INJURIES, with puffins, shag,
and other species in plenty also
These fowls build no nests, but
lay their eggs on the bare stone, strad-
ding them for the purpose of
incubation. They quarrel necessarily,
and the eggs are constantly rolling off into
the sea and smashing upon the rocks be-
low. One is imprudent to walk beneath
the cliffs at any time lest his head is as
sailed by a shower of albuminous I'M
pleasantness. Naturalists surmise that
nature contem plates this as a necessary
means of keeping down the numbers of the
birds. RENE BACHE

The Tamesopo Canyon.
Frank G. Carpenter.


This is the Tamosopo canyon. l rode
through it on top of a box car, and it is the
most wonderful ride in the UnEted States.
Starting in an amphitheater of the richest
green YOU shoot out over a waterfall into a
great gorge and ride for thirty miles along
the edge of precipices, beside rushing
rivers and through the widest of forests,
with the mountains above and the earth
thousands of feet below you, until in
an hour you find yourself out OF the tenn
perate zone and down into the tropics with
your eyes dancing and your head buzzing
in trying TO comprehend the kaleido-
scopic panorama which you have passed
through. In some places the rocks were
bare and great cliffs oyerhang the road,
rooted only by the sky. Here you go into
tunnels and the smoke along the top of the
car makes You think that you are
at the entrance of Dante's Inferno.
And so you pass on until you
find yourself in forests of orchids
and your ears are saluted with the rough
voices of the birds of the tropics. You
are now in the lowlands of the coast and
the air has grown hot. This branch of the
railroad cost $4,000, 600 10 build and the
line from Tampico TO San Luis Potosi is
perhaps the most expensive railroad IN
Mexico.

AN INCIDENT IN A RAILROAD CAR

He spoke of Burns: men rude and rough
Pressed round to hear the praise of one
Whose heart was made of manly, simple stuff,
AS homespun as their own.
And, when he read, they forward leaned,
Drinking, with thirsty hearts and ears,
HIS brook-iike songs whom glory never weaned
From humble smiles and tears.
Slowly there grew a tender awe,
sun.like, DER faces brown and hard,
AS IL IN him who read they felt and saw
some presence OF the bard.
/ thought. these men will carry hence
Promptings their former life above,
And something of finer reverence
For beauty, truth and love.
God scatters love on every side
Freely among his children all.
And always hearts are lying open wide.
wherein some grains may fail
There is no wind but soweth seeds
OF a more true and open life,
Which burst, unlocked for, into high-souled
deeds,
With wayside beauty rife.
All that hath been majestical
In life or death, since time began,
Is native i'll the simple heart OF all,
The angel heart OF man.
O, mighty brother soul o; man,
Where'er thou art, in low or high,
Thy skyey arches with exulting span
0'er-roof infnity!
All thoughts that mold the age begin
Deep down within the primitive soul,
And IRON the many slowly upward win
To one who grasps the whole.
All thought begins in feeling-wide
In the great mass its base Is hid,
and, narrowing up to thought, stands gloriied,
A moveless pyramid.
Nor is he far away who deems
That every hope, which rises and grows broad
In the worlds heart, BY ordered impulse streams
From the great heart OF God.
II may be glorious TO write
Thoughts that shall glad the two or three
High souls like those far stars that come in sight
Once in a century
But better far il is to speak
one simple word, which now and then
Shall waken their free nature in the weak
And friendless sons of men.

models and pictures.
Before the bold Aleuts were exposed to
the diseases and alcohol of the white men
they were far sturdier and Drawer race
than now; but most courageous and ven
turesome of them all were the natives of
the Axiom islands, who devoted their at
tention chiefly to the pursuit of humpback
whales. These great cetaceans frequent
the waters of that region in enormous
numbers; their schools numbered literally
thousands, and the Axiom hunters sought
their capture in frail canoes, armed with
spears that were shod with barbed
spikes of jade. They would paddle
lar out to sea among the giant
black creatures that fed there, rising at in
tervals like gigantic porpoises to breathe,
and strike the monstrous prey with I'M
erring aim between the blow hole and the

series of models and pictures shows
the manner in which fur seals are taken
ana killed for the market on the islands of
ns. Paul and st. George, where are located
the famous rookeries in Boring sea-almost
the last refuge on earth of these valuable
beasts, which once swarmed in the South
Paciac and elsewhere. One sees the
bachelors" being driven TO the killing
grounds by shouting Aleuts, waving
cloths, over path worn deep through the
grass and messy uplands by myriads of
their predecessors. Most unfortunate is
the bachelor seal, not only because he is
not permitted to haul up on the
shore with the full-grown males and
indulge IN the luxury of wives and
progeny but by reason of the fact that his
skin IS thesmost valuable kind, so that he
is obliged to forfeit it to commerce and
female vanity. Next the seals are repre-
sented at the killing grounds, being
knocked over the heads with clubs, where
no less than $4,000 of their kind have
been slaughtered thus within the last
twenty years. Their slayers must be hard

they seize the opportunity and interrupt
their dreams by clubbing them to death.

Before long they will have met the fate
of the huge sea elephant, whose eumbrous
dimensions caused it to be wiped from the

back fin. No further effort did they make
to secure the mighty game but the weapon
was left to slowly work its way into the
victims vitals. The latter took no notice
whatever of the wound when struck, but,
dying later, its huge carcass ioated ashore,
to be quickly cut up and utilized for food
and oil. Danger was always imminent in
this form of hunting. Not only might a
whale at any moment rise beneath boat
and overturn it, but fog might at any
time within few minutes hide the distant
land and an adverse wind drive the frail
bark out into the ocean, where certain
death awaited the adventurous sailor.
Supplies of coal oil and whisky have
now rendered the Axiom natives indie
pendent of whales and indisposed to the
risks attending the taking of them. An
other picture in the collection described
shows how the Bering strait Eskimos still
industriously pursue a similar industry in
a vastly safer fashion. In summer they
erect great tripods along the shore, made
of driftlogs, and perch upon them to watch
for the appearance of COW whales with
their calves. When such game is espied,
they set out after it in boats OF
walrus hide. They do not attack the
mother whale, but throw darts into the calf
with inflated seals bladders attached to
them The young cetacean is hampered
in swimming by these buoys, and every
time he comes to the surface to breathe,
il is assaulted again, until finally it is tired
out and floats on the surface, where it is
speedily lanced to death. It's blubber and
intestines are eaten, the flesh being not
used except in times of scarcity, and the
skin is regarded as a particularly delect-
able dish, toasted.
Another picture shows the manner IN
which sea lions are taken in Bering sea.
When they have "hauled up" at night on
the beach, men creep along on their hands
and knees close by the water line, so as to
cut off the animals from the ocean. Then
they jump up, shout. and fire of pistols,
the result being wild panic among the
poor beasts, which skurry in every direc-
ton to escape. Some run INTO the water,
giving the hunters trouble to get out of
the way, while Others direct their flight
inland The latter are the spoil of the

which is one of the two fur
seal islands, and it takes from ten
davs to three weeks TO drive
the sea lions to the village of st. PauPs,
eleven miles away. If the weather is cool
and wet the task may be performed IN the
minimum time. Surprising that there Is
hot and dry spell, driving cannot be done
at all. The usual plan IS TO compel the
Iuckless flock through as many pools OF
water as is possible on the way over, IN
order that the animals may be refreshed,
but under the most favorable conditions
MANY die from exhaustion en- route. Not
only are their hides useful tor making
boats, but their blubber is greatly priced
for cooking purposes, being inodorous and
agreeable. whereas the blubber of the fur
seal is most offensive TO the taste and
smell -
Another interesting product of the chase
in the Northwest Pacific is the sea otter.
II is an animal about four feet long, and
IT'S skin is so remarkably elastic that IL
NAV be readily stretched 10 SIX feet. In
fact. as dealer in clothing would say, its
coat is enormously too big for 1t. This,
however. is not a disadvantage from the
commercial point of view. inasmuch as the
fur is extremely valuable, single hide of
first-rate quality being often worth $500;
To capture this animal the Aleuts, OF

white traders 200 or 800 miles TO the islands

left on the grounds for three or four
months. the arrangement being that, in
exchange for the carrying OF them
selves and their boats, the natives
shall give the traders nrst
option on the furs secured. Inc hunters
take nothing with them in their fragile
boats but some -four, sugar, tobacco, tea
and a little cotton tent. OF course they
carry firearms also, and these are of first
