1t Is on this account that the a%borigines
arc threatened With starvation, inn;-
much as they depended mainly on the
walrus for subsistence. They used it's
flesh for food. its hide for leather and
boats, its oil for fuel. its intcstincs for
waterproof clothing. the solcs of it's
flippers for shoes and its sincws for
nets to capture birds with.
The Almost Extinct Mnnntec.
In like fashion will be shown the fin
est mounted specimen of the manatee
ever exhibited. This huge marine
mammal is first known to have been
remarked by Christopher Columbus.
1t attains Il length of thirteen feet
al!sl IL weight of 1000 pounds. Though
now nearly extinct. the species was
once plentiful along the gulf coast and
as far up the Atlantic shore as South
Carolina. 1t is gentle and harmless,
living on aquatic vegetation. One Of
these sea cows in London Geological
Gardens ate 100 pounds of lettuce daily.
The diet was expensive. but it would
not taste anything else after it had
tried the lettuce, though previously it
had been content with water crosses.
In South America the beast is common
ly caught by means of nets stretched
across the streams which it frequents.

gions which 1t inhalits are almost
inaccessible. Nevertheless, 1t is not
very alert and is easily shot when it
can be got at. 1t will be represented
by Il group, as will also the woodland
caribou, which is the reindeer of New
foundland. The latter has been near
ly cXterminated. Another group will
show the barren-ground caribou of
Alaska. Both of these are regarded as
varieties of the same species as the
domcsticated reindeer, which have been
newly imported by the government
from Siberia for the benefit of the
Alaskan natives. For them it is en-
pccted to supply the place of the wal
rus. inasmuch us 1t is the most useful
animal in existence. Its skin serves
for clothes. bedding. harness, ropes and
fish lires. Its sinews dried and pound
ed into thread make wonderfully
strong nets. Its bones r soaked in
seal oil and burned for fuel. From its
horns are manufactured weapons, sleds
and various household implements. The
flesh is excellent meat, and Il rein
deer will draw a sled $50 miles a day

In mounting these specimens and
groups much effort has been directed
to secure the effect Of the original sur
rOundings of the animals in nature.

A RELlGIEUsE OF THE STAGE.
Grace Golden, the Pretty Brunette,

Grace Golden, the pretty dark-eyed
ginger in Reginald de Koven's "Fenc-
ing Master" is the most devoutly
religious woman OF the stage to-day.
She is as pious rs Mary Anderson,
and, be it said, is held in as high re-
spect by her associates. Miss Golden
wears in the bosom OF her decollete
bodice, which, by the way, is always
prudishiy modest in cut, herscapular,
blessed by an American Cardinal.
This tiny brown bag contains q relic
OF inestimable value, and its owner
has made it a rule never to go before
the footlights without kissing it.
Standing in the wings, waiting for her
cue, her lips may be seen moving in
prayer, and when the prompter gives
his signal she hastily crosses herself,
presses the scapular to her lips and
steps forward ready to take up the
liveliest airs in the opera. Herfriends

Although a successful singer in light
opera, and up to this time forced to
take advantage of the liberal salary
she derives therefrom, Miss Golden's
predictions are for the cloister. She
would vastly prefer the simple habit
OF religieuse to snowy stage trap

professional career, tmns longing eyes
toward the ideality OF a nuns conse

lifrlike as possible. The fur of this
animal is the most valuable known. A
good pclt. with the usual imperfec-
lions, is worth S25O. Willie an exception
ally fine one will fetch $1,000. 1t has
been suggested that the president could
preserve this precious creature by set
ting aside the islands of Saanach IL
ChclmolouS i'll the Pacific as Il reserva-
ton where they might be protected,
Just as he reserved the island of Afog-
max for the salmon by proclamation
the other day. Otherwise the species
cannot long survive. Hunters are
shooting the few survivors now With
explosive bullets.
\ Rare Specimen of Nalrus.
Another interesting animal to be
shown is the only specimen of the wal
rus that has e been properly stuffed
and mounted. Mr.. William Palmer
went all the way to thc Pribylov seal
islands to get it. The beast WAS shot
on Walrlls island. which is six miles
from the Island of st. Paul-an irregu-
lar rock IL few hundred yards long
and half awash. There were 300
wlllllscs on this rock Il few years ago;
last year there were only eight. and
now there are none left. This gives Il
notion of the merciless ann in
which this valuable creature is hunted.
Walrusrs used TO frequent the Priby-
low group in enormous numbers and
great quantities of their tusks were OK
ported To Russia in former days. At
present digging for such of the tuSlls
as have been left behind by dead wal
ruscs is an Industry of the natives.
The sand dunes along shore are wal

%uneartllrd from them the tuskS which
remain are knocked out to be sold

Men Who Could Gather the Meaning
of IL Page mt n Glance.
The death of Justice Lamar recalls
4; trait or faculty Which he possessed
in q remarkable degree. 1t has been
said of him that he was able to read
Il newspaper article or Il page of a
book ut what seemed to the observer
to be but a glance. Manifestly this fac
ulty or capacity gave him great ad4an-
tage over ordinary men. He was able
to devour books as if he We're Il liter
airy glutton, with the difference that
his powerful memory enabled him to
digest st leisure what lie had absorbed
in haste.
Macauley possessed the same faculty,
perhaps i'll Il yet higher degree. He
would take up a volume for an even
ing's intellectual enjoyment, and be-
fore he had retired had the contents
fully impressed upon his marvellous
mind. Dickens was another of those
remarkably rapid readers. George Ell
lots adam Bede'' came to him one
day. Before his ordinary bedtime lie
had read it, and had pronounced this
remarkable dictum: THAT book was
written by a woman" Others required
days of leisure to read it, and the ques-
ton of authorship was the riddle at
the time in literary circles. Charles
Sumner was another man who pos
sesscd this happy faculty.
A book. whether it was a volume of
law or diplomatic correspondence, or
Il work of fiction, passed under his
| eyes as if by Il quick succession of
| glances. 1t was the same with Daniel
| Webster, who himself stated to Il friend
that when in college he read Don
Quixote' in a single night. In the ease
| Of both these distinguished men what
| they read i'll this way reappeared in a
new dress in their speeches and in
| their writings. OF course Il retentive
memory was necessary to render the
results of this rapid reading available
but it is plain that in their capacity
to read rapidly they possessed an enor
nous advantage over their fellow men
and the question arises, is it possible
to develop this faculty and make ii
more generally useful in the vast mul
tiplication of books@Augusta Chron
icle.
