taken off when they came In reach by
men who went into the water as far
as possible To meet them.

The Fur Seal VIII Soon Bccomc as Plen-
tifuI as Ten Years Ago.
During the period before seal-shoot-
ing at sea became regular business
for dozens OF vessels, the Alaska Conn
mercial Co. owned for twenty years
the lease OF the fur seal islands, and
was permitted by the government To
take 100000 seals each year, on which
the company paid revenue of 81 per
skin, besides various extras. In 1890
the North American Commercial Co.
was the highest bidder for the lease,
and secured the concession, with tho
privilege of taking 10000 seals per an
mum, paying therefor $40 90 per skin.
But the high contracting parties reclS-
oncd without counting in the poacher,
who has so fearfully reduced the total
number of fur seals that the govern
ment has been compelled TO order the
suspension of all operations save the
annual killing Of 1900 seals for food
purposes. Thanks 90 this, and TO
the agreement between the United
States and England that the fur seal
must and shall be preserved, we may
presently hope Co see the species AS
abundant as IL was ten years ago.
Three times during the rule of the
Russians, I'm 1905, 1892 and 1888, did
this animal narrowly escape extermina-
ton, but was saved each time by
similar cessation of hostilties for a
period OF years.
On July 90, 1898, IL was calculated
that there were in round numbers
about 1000, 900 seals still surviving on
the Pribylof islands.
Now that all seal-killinp on the
Pribylof islands, save for food, has
been effectually stopped. five years
more should witness such marked in.

Unfortunately seal-poaching has not,

Curious Little Freaks or Nature-rhe Sc
cret OF Their Motion.

Curious Little Freaks or Nature-The Sc
cret of Their Motion.
The street falxirs and novelty vendors
In our large cities are now exhibiting
curious little things which they call
Jumping seeds" These are small
ound objects somewhat resembling
beans, which possess the remarkable
property of motion, and even in some
instances of jumping TO height OF
eight or ten inches
These so-called ''seeds" are, 20 be
strictly scientific, the carpets OF an
euphorbiaceous plant found in Mexico,
and their curious power OF motion IL
due, not 20 magic, as vulgarly sup
posed, but TO the presence inside OF a
small caterpillar or larva of the genus
carpocapsa All you have TO do Is To
place the dumping seed" on the table
I'm warm room and in few moments
Il will move around, turn over and
jump a distance of perhaps several
inches.
An entomologist, who has carefully
studied these little curiosities, de-
scribes, i'm the article referred to
above, the movements of the caterpil-
lar and how he gets into the seed at all.
IL seems that the female butter fly de-
posits an egg i'm the stigma of the flower
OF the plant (Sebastiania), where IL is
soon Matched, and the little caterpillar
penctrates TO the very heart of the
fruit, where il finds an abode and
nourishment while getting its
growth While in the larval state,
the creature has powerful mandibles,
with which IL cuts an opening from
the core 10 the outside covering of the
fruit, and through this opening the
butterfly makes its exit 20 the world
OF sunshine and flowers
The seeds or carpets have two
fiat sides and an arched one, and are
really like rather rough segments
cut from sphere. When the
carpet rests on one OF its
hat sides, the caterpillar generally,
unless the temperature is very high,
rests quietly, without making his pres
encc known. But just as soon ms the
little bean-lilSe structure Is placed on
its arched side, Mr. Caterpillar becomes
greatly excited and jumps arouni in a
very lively fashion until his house again
rests on its flat sides, when he gener-
ally relapse into quietude. The i'm
terror of the cell is lined with n sort OF
silky texture spun by the larva.
These curious little freaks OF nature
are quite the rage" now with GER
tain class OF faddists, just as the poor
chameleons were several months ago.
They are exhibited at society enter
tainments and trick sociables. The
unfortunate things have even come into
favor with gamblers, who play chance
game with them, betting on how high
and how far they will Jump. Voice.
