is quite an industry In
cor lhc peril involved and the I
risk assumed the profits are not
really great, though the returns
seem large. It's not generally
known that a seal skin does not
become a perfected article oi
commerce until it has been treat
ed in London. They arc pre-
pared nowhere else and the price
IS fixed at the British capital.
The raw skins are shipped across
the United States in barre and
are generally carried on fast
special trains. The writer re-
members the wreck OF one OF
these trans a few years ago and
the CONSERVATION OF the plumb
erers of the occasion when they |
learned that the skins in the state
OF transit were not worth steal |
ing. Otter hunting is even more |
risky and profitable than seal
getting. An otter skin is worth |
up to $500 to $1,000, while a
seals hide will rarely fetch over
SIS. 1t takes an average OF over
fifty bullets to gain an otter and
/ they live in the toughest waters
/ i'm the world. The incident Ol
the Jane Gray's appearance in
/ these waters is an example OF the
facility with which mistakes can
be made and the necessity Tor
thought. The erratic course of
the big profit industries shows
| why investments that are GER
tain. though giving small returns
are so eagerly sought after.
Having become tavorablv i'm.
pressed with the merits OF the
Monarch Bicycle we have a de-
sire 0 place it before the people
of Honolulu.
This machine though one Of
the leading wheels in the States
is not very well known here, but
two beng in use. To make you
/. acquainted with it our column
will be devoted this week to a
description of the Monarch
Bicycle.
Among high Grade wheels
the Monarch is in the front
rank.
1t is made OF the n ost eXpen-
. sive and best material. 1t Is
made with the greatest care
and attention to details, by the
=. most competent and eXperienc
l ed mechanics. In quoting from
: the latest catalogue, the manu-
: faCturers say:
+ "In making the Monarch, nc
pains, no expense no time OF
trouble has been spared to put
it ahead and keep it ahead of al
:, other wheels in the world; tc
> make the designs the mos
n graceful and handsome, tn,
re most up to date in every part
h cular, to make it a marvel o
III beauty, strength and swittness.
=, The frame is the most import
ant part of the bicycle. In rid
% ing the greatest strain tails on

De strain the frame must be exceed
$ ingly strong and riged.

- of the best quality of SPIRAL,
~ drawn Mannesmann steel tubing
e Each frame is put together wit
I'D jlg, which mechanically turn
nd it, thus making it perfect
of accurate.
be Brazing is a very importar
ID operation and has to be don
very delicately by expert worl
men. The brazing on the MOI
arch frames is special process
'eS carried out with the creates
En- care and attention to detail; an
Its so successful is this process, tn;
