THE ALASKAN SEALS.
Their Habits Described by an
American Lawyer.
Why Canadian Poachers Must Re Pre-
vented from Carrying on Their Gus
tonary Depredatiohs-The
Two Seal Groups.

In his argument before the arbitra-
tors in the Behring sea case MIR. Cou-
dert, of counsel for the United States,
gave an interesting account of the
habits of the Alaskan seal. over the
proprictOrship of which the whole con-
test is being waged The peculiar
thing about these seals is that, al
though in their journey from the south
to their stamping grounds in the
Behring they pass islands innumcra-
bic, they invariably select two groups,
and only two, as their summer home.
One of these is on the coast of Asia
and is known as Commanderoff. The
other is the Pribyloff islands, two in
number-St. Paul and st. George-off
the Alaskan shore. These islands are
but speclzs in the surrounding waters.
st. Paul contains but thjrty-two square
miles and St. George twenty-sevel
square miles. Why these two groups
should be selected is what no natural
lis has as yet been able satisfactorily
to explain. Nevertheless the fact re-
mains that it is to them and 10 them
alone that the seals annually resort
while in northern waters.
About this season of the year the
Pacific ocean north of the fortieth de-
gree of north latitude is literally
sprinkled with seals on their way from
southern waters to their northern sum-
mer resort. The males appear to be
more rapid swimmers than the females.
AT all events they arrive at the islands
a week or two ahead of the females.
On reaching them they Immediately
proceed to select quarters on them for
their summer abode. and these quar-
tiers are always at some point near the
sea, from which it is easily accessible.
When they arrive they are rolling in
fat and weigh somewhere in the neigh
borhood of five hundred pounds each.
About the beginning of June the fe-
males begin to arrive and a few hours

This Fish Goes Hunting.

The jaculator fish, the piscatorial
gunner of the Javan lakes. uses his
mouth as squirtgun, and is marks
man of no mean ability. Go to a small
lake or pond filled with specimens of
jaculators; place stake or pole in the
water with the end projecting from 1
TO 8 feet above the surface, place a
beetle or fly on top of the pole and
then await developments. Soon the
water win be swarming with finny
gunners each anxious for shot at the
tender morsel which the experimental
has placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes Imaginable, dis
charges stream of water with pre-
cision equal to any sharpshooter,
knocks the fly or beetle into the water,
where he is instantly devoured by the
successful nimrod or some of his
hungry horde. This sport may be kept
UP as long as the supply of beetles and
flies holds out.

to vessels on the other side that unless
certain precautions are taken they can
not enter at a United States port. That
they shall be fined five thousand dollars
if they do not have a bill of health
signed by the consul or by the medical
officer specially detailed by the presi-
dent for that purpose, before sailing for
America.
medical officers are detailed for this
purpose only at ports which are con-
sidered dangerous. The quarantine
regulation for foreign ports provide
first for inspection. This inspection is
preliminary to the signing of the bill
of health. An inspection is required
also Of all vessels carrying passengers
sailing from European, Asiatie, At
rican, South American, Central Amer
lean. Mexican and West Indian ports.
Freight vessels, unless from infected
ports, will not require inspection,
though the consul or officer must be
satisfied that everything is in a sani-
tary condition. On the North American
coast and inland waters vessels are exc
enpt from inspection so long as a port
is free from contagious infection. An
infected port, to be within the meaning
of the law, is port where contagious
or infectious disease has been commu-
nicated to one or more persons through
the medium of an infected person, in
fected baggage or otherwise. A port
is not infected where one or a small
number of cases has been imported,
but where the disease has not been
communicated to others.
Passengers are divided into two
classes, cabin and steerage. The term i'm
migrant we do not recognize. Ifa vessel
sails from an infected port each cabin
passenger must produce evidence as to
his exact place of abode during the
four days just preceding embarkstion,
and if he or his baggage has been ex-
posed to contagion he shall be de-
tanned at the pleasure of the medical
officer in charge.
Storage passengers from any in
fected port must be detained five days
under medical observation in specially
designated barracks or houses during
their stay, subject to the usual sani-
tary precautions of bathing, fumiga-
ton. etc. If cholera should break out
no steerage passenger will be allowed
to embark until seven days or longer
after the conclusion of the last case"
