The drying consists in exposing it to

they scatter the seaweed.

Volcanoes on the Moon.

The surface of the moon appears to
be made up Of an immense aggregation
of extinct volcanic craters, some Of them
from 30 to 90 miles in diameter. There
are dozens of the volcanic peaks on IL e
moon which are known to be higher
than Pixies Peaks, and one of them only
lacks few feet of being as high as Mt.
Everest, the titan of the Himalayas.
These gigantic peaks are brilliantly H.
Illuminated on one side by the sun. The
other side, however, from the absence
of diffused daylight lowing TO the want
of an atmospheric is constantly in the
shadows of intense blackness. From
the same cause the sky, as seen from

Otter Hunting a Sport Very iMuch Enjoyed
by Englishmen

Otter Hunting Sport Very iMueh Enjoyed
by Englishmen
Otter hunting is sport very mucf
enjoyed by Englishmen The otter is
great fish eater and that is why the fish
ermen feel themselves compelled to kill
It. Some angling clubs and societies
offer rewards for otter kills, and that
makes the hunters angry.
Otter hunting S done with dogs and
men. They go whooring up stream on
the ottcr's trail, the hired men keeping
in the water in line to prevent the
animals turning down stream, as the
beast cannot be trailed while going
down. The dogs come up with and tear
the otter to death, if the hunt is success
full, but often tie otter will whip any
dog in the water.
An English otter of over 80 pounds
weight is a big one, and few reach that
weight The biggest one remembered
weighed 81 pounds, and was Gilled at

eat the hearts Of the animals, consider

The American otter is a sly animal,
which is not often killed by gunshot
and as seldom taken with traps, since
nothing but the utmost care in setting
and batting the trap will deceive it.
Once in awhile trout fishermen see
offers along an Adirondack stream, and
otter trails are common on the snow
covered ice back in the woods, or on
streams opposite clcarings. Sometimes
the animals are seen on the ice by rab-
bit hunters, and are shot at, but few of
the wound or even killed creatures
are recovered, since they are usually on
the ice near air-holes, and il merely
