An ArnllesS Arti>t.

When a man without arms becomes
an artist there is considerable evil
dence that he has a strongand natural
inclination for the career. This is
the case of Bartram Hiles, young
Englishman, whose pictures have been
on exhibition in London.
Mr.. Hiles is not the only armless
artist Of merit now living. Charles
Felu, of Antwerp, has long been
known as an excellent painter. MIR.
Felu wields the brush with his mouth.
The Englishman lost his arms at the
age of eight, in street car accident;
the Belgian was born armless. The
former is only twenty-eight years old,
and is principally distinguished as a
landscape painter; the latter is sixty
tour, and is figure painter.
Mr.. Hiles combines vast amount
of perseverance and cheeriulness with
unmistakable artistic ability. Only
two years after his accident, he had
so far mastered the control of his

Our Fleet of Cutters.

X LII of the vessels of the
" United States patrol feet for
NJ Bering Sea are now on the
cruising ground, says the
New York Times. The headquarters
of the feet is at Unalaska. At this
point the Alaska Commercial Com
pany has large coal supply, upon
which the fleet is permitted to draw.
Unalaska is also the most western mail
point belonging to the United States.
Mail reaches there during the summer
at least once o month.
The most western limit of the cruis-
ing ground of the fleet is Attu Island.
This island is in east longitude, and is
distant from the Japan coast but few
hundred miles. Attu Island is the
most western possession of the United
States. 1t is at greater distance to
the west than is New York to the east
of San Francisco.
The islands of st. Paul and st.
George, or, generally speaking, tte
Pribilof or Seal Islands, are distant
some 200 miles from Unalaska. 1t is
around these latter islands that the
zone exists in which no sealing craft
are permitted to enter for the pur-
pose of catching seal. This prohibi-
tion zone extends around the Pribilof
group, every portion OF which IS dis
iant sixty miles from land. Although
there are four islands in the Pribilof

fecting the transmitting and receiving
instruments, and he was able to show
some creditable results five years ago
when the first public experiments were
made. Later at the Worlds Fair he
made an exhibition of the powers OF
his machine, which was considered
wonderful, but it Was only two months
ago that long-distance test was sue
cessfully made showing that the in
vention had become entirely practical:
This test was between London and
Paris, a distance Of over 800 miles,
and the results we're satisfactory at
every point. In this country the first
practical use of the new device wasthe
Cleveland Chicago correspondence OF
last Friday. Autograph letters and
original drawings were reproduced by
electricity with only few seconds loss
of time at distance Of hun
dreds of miles from the writer,
and the copy was exact in every line
and dot, a faithful reproduction. The
instruments by means of which this
wonder is accomplished are simple IN
construction but very delicately ad-
iusted. Every motion made by the
pencil in the hand of the writer at the
transmitting instrument is reproduced
by an automatic pen at the receiver,
and perfect copy is the result. The
advantage of the device is that 1t
enables any person to send his own
message without the Intervention OF a
skilled operator, and it provides way
for bankers to sign papers or for busl-
ness men to make out documents IN

Rec Trees i'm Florida.

Five men went out to cut two bee
trees about four miles from Winder-

position and the queen bee caught and
placed in the gum. The party left tor

ten inches long and twenty and half
inches in circumference was found
and in his mouth rattlesnake about
four feet long with six rattles and but

about half swallowed when found. A
large number of these trees have been
found in that vicinity this spring.
About thirty seven have been cut
since the first of March, and about 40
pounds OF honey has been secured.

from 1907 to 1912, the killing of seals
was interdicted by the Russian author
tiles, with the result that at the ex-
riration of that time the animals had
returned, and showed signs of increas-
ing IN considerable numbers. Before
s.any years passed the revenue in seal
skins once more became profitable.
TIE skins of the seal were first shipped
TO London and to New York. in
the carly ffties, and these shipments
continued at the rate of nearly 60, 900
skins per annum until the transfer Of
:he Russian possessions to the United
States.
Dur,ng the early sixties the Russian
Government received reports from its
nearts on the Pribilof Islands to the
eject that the seals were increasing at
An enormous rete, that the rockeries
were crowded beyond their capacity,
and permission was again and again
asked to increase the number Of seals
allowed to be- killed annually, in order
to make room for the apparent mill
icus which were coming. From the
tine Of :hc purchase OF the Pribilof
Islands by tue United States until
twenty years subsequently, the limit
Of seals to be killed annually was
placed at lG9,00O, Even with this
large number destroyed each year, the
seal: showed no signs of decrease, and
il would seem that the conditions
which prevailed IN 1850 must have
again returned.

Higns0, atest ~ ABSOLUTELY PURE
Electrical Weed Killer.

In the American Engineer and Rail-
way Journal description is given Of
m electrical device for the destruction
of weeds, as used on railroad lines.
Very high-pressure current is taken
from generator on q tramcar travel
ing on the railroad. One side of the
circuit is connected to the ground,
and the other is conducted through
series of fine wires to the tops of she
weeds and vegetation along the road.
In this way the electric current trav-
erses the roots and body of a plant,
rupturing its cells and destroying it.
The device is thoroughly practical,
and reduces the cost of maintenance
of way $40 to $50 per year per mile.

School Laws in the States.

The Bureau of Education is making
a compilation of the school laws of
various States. It will show that the
regulations as to appointment and
qualification of teachers and their
methods of teaching vary greatly IN
the different sections OF the country.
Some difficulty has been met by the
Bureau in obtaining the State statutes,
and in many cases they have been
bought outright from the States. The
compilation probably will be pub
lished next autumn, and after publica-
tion in the annual report Of the com
missioners OF educa ton may be issued
in q separate edition Of 10000 copies.

seal herds when on their way to the
Prihilof group, and killing in the open
sea female as we'll as male seal-young
and old. Furthermore, as the Cana
dians hunted the seals recourse was
had to the shotgun, loaded with buck
shot, and it is estimated that out OF
every five seals shot in the open sea,
not more, on an average, than one
was secured. The remaining four
usually sank to the bottom before
their bodies we're seized or, ifwounded,
made away and died subsequently.
This wholesale slaughter on the high
seas has well-nigh exterminated the
seal, and it has been the direct cause
of the restrictions imposed during late
years on the sealing work Of hunters.
Under the present restriction+he COM
pany which leases the Pribilof Islands
from the United States is not permit
ted to kill during single season more
than 1900 seals. The restrictions i'm
posed on hunters prohibit the capture
of seals in Bering Sea and within GER
tain limits of the North Pacific prior
to July l, and after July l seals can
not be taken inside of the sixty-mile
zone surrounding the Pribilof group.
In addition, sealers are not permitted
to kill seals with shotguus, and the
fact that sealing craft caught in Ber-
ing Sea has skins on board which give
evidence OF having been taken by
shooting the animals is sufficient to
insure the seizure of the vessel by the
United States revenue cutter which
comes up with her.
Every craft in Beri1s Sea will be
overhauled during the present sum-
mer by the officers of the revenue cut
ter fleet, and thorough examination
will be made of all vessels boarded. If
the craft overhauled be an English
vessel, and it is evident that the seal
ing regulations have been violated,

Eight Miles an Hour.

Several of the great trunk railroads
OF the North are experimenting on
their branch lines with electricity as n
motive power and the reports OF its
use are very satisfactory. 1t has been
demonstrated that electricity is
cheaper than steam and that it will
give any rate of speed that can reason
ably, be desired.
A few days ago an electric locomo-
tive on the Nantasket branch of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad was run at speed of eighty
miles an hour.
Hardly anybody wants to go at that
rate even in these fast times, but the
experiment has demonstrated that
electricity may be applied for rapid
transit.
Opinions differ as to prospects OF
O general substitution of electricity
for steam on railroads but the tend
ency is clearly in that direction and
many practical railroad men believe
that within few years the bulk OF
railroad business will be moved BY

group-St. Paul, St. George, Otter
and Walrus-- the two islands st. Paul
and St. George are the ones selected
by the seals for their breeding pur-
poses. On the other two islands the
seals occasionally haul up, but do not
breed. So far as is known, the ISL
anis of St. Paul and st. George are
the only land points where the fur
seal haul out. The Pacific and An
tarctic Oceans have been secured by
seaIers in the hope of finding the
winter homes of the animal, but to no
purpose. 1t is now the generally &C.
cepted opinion that the seals betake
themselves On the approach OF winter
to some of the high plateaus on the
bottom of the ocean, where it is posi-
BILE fo. them to live on small fish, and
there remain until the instinct of re-
production forces them to seek the
breeding rookeries.
The discovery of the Pribilof Is
lands dates hack to 17S5, and ls
credited to Russian hunters. In the
succeeding year over 500, 900 seals
were killed by Russians. For twenty
years after that awful slaughter IN
1855, the fur seal almost entirely dis.
appeared from the Pribilof Islands.
1t IS said that more than half Of the
skins taken in the year 1855 were sub
sequently thrown into the sea in an
advanced stage of decomposition, be-
cause of careless curing, and the
waters were so poisoned as to drive
away the seals for successive seasons.
The Russian-American Company OBJ
tained control of the Pribilof Islands
in the early part of the present CEN
tury, and prompt measures were taken
by the representatives of this company
to stop further killing. For five years,

Immunity Against Snake ro'son.

We understand that Professor
Fraser will probably make Il further
communication to the Royal Society
of Edinburgh at its next meeting with
regard to the production OF immunity
against snake poison. Since the pres
entation of the paper, an abstract of
which was published in the British
Medical Journal, Professor Fraser has
obtained, we are informed, definite
proof of the antidotal properties of
the blood serum of venomous ser
pents. This result was not unantici-
pated, as will have been gathered
from the statements already pub
lished, but it's establishment is mat
ter of great interest, and, perhaps, OF
some practical Importance, since never
before probably have the bane and the
antidote been brought so near to-
gether. British Medical Journal.
