Some sealing men are not inclined
dams plan for branding the female
and penning the young bachelor
seals on the islands off the United
States will prove such a success in
killing off the pelagic sealing indus
try.
"Of COURSE" said Captain j. G. Cox,
"the United States have right,
strictly speaking, TO do what they Ike
with the seal on their islands, but it
is no less an evasion of the spirit of
the agreement between the two coun-
tries
Captain Cox does not believe, how
ever, that the plan will work, or that
the seals can be penned up in a harbor
for a month as DIR. Jordan intends
they shall. In this opinion Captain
Cox is borne out by Captain William
Grant, who is quite sure the penning
arrangement will be found altogether
unavoidable.
Mr.. Richard Hall, another sealing
man, recently interviewed, had the
same ideas as the others on the SUBJ
iect and, furthermore, remarked that
if DR.. Jordan begins branding and
penning wholesale, the seals will soon
leave the islands altogether. The seal
is wild animal and knowing one
at that , and if the men of science try
the experiment of branding and pen
ming wholesale, why it means that the
seals when they do get away will not
return to the islands the next year.
In this connection Captain Cox men,
tions the fact of branded seals having
been found on the Japanese coast as
showing that the animals would
promptly go somewhere else rather
than Behring sea if they are too much
interfered with.

Schnol ChiIdren,s Eyes

The results of the newly instituted
eye examination that 1s in operation
in the schools at present bring out
somo startling facts, which strongly
suggest that tho eyes Of the present
century are not nearly nB good rs the
eyes OF other days.
In an examination OF the eyes in the
German schools there was found TO be
seventy-fve per cent. OF the scholars
who wore, or absolutely needed to
wear, glasses The Minneapolis
schools are nearly as bad.
Professor Webster, of the East Side
High, has devoted his whole time for
three days to tho eye examination.
The eyesight OF about eighty per cent.
Of those examined is seriously defec-
tive, aud when asked il they suffered
with headache when studying, abo1t
one third OF the scholars answered in
the affirmative, the headache being
due TO defective eyes The principal
said he found that the scholars of the
better families had the poorer eyes,
and that tho same was true of those
who took the Latin course.
At the South Side High School the
eyes were found to he even worse.
Professor Sawyer said that between
forty and fifty per cent. OF his scholars
needed 60 wear glasses, and that thirty
per cent more were IN need OK medi-
cal treatment. That is to say, there
are eighty per cent. defective eyes in
fhe South Side High. Minneapolis

UnSClIlsli Animals

A French scientist ias lately written
an interesting paper on altruism in
animals, arriving at the startling con
clusion that animals are, perhaps, bet
ter Christians than men. He says
"Animal societies are less polished,
but perhaps more humane, nil things
being equal. than our own" and gives
several instances of animal species
made use of by another, and perform.
ing services for the latter without re.
ceiving anything in exchange.
Among others is mentioned the case
of the crocodile and the bird trochilus
on the banks OF the Nile. This bird
performs two services for the crocodile.
1t enters its mouth and dispatches
there the worms and leeches which
trouble the crocoiiles it flies rapidly
away, giving vent to peculiar cry,
when the lchheumon, an enemy of
the crocodile approaches, thus appris-
ing its companion of the ichueumon' s
presence. In return the croco lille
shakes its tail whenever it wishes to
closes it's mouth, thus giving tho bird
warning. The crocodile in no wise
recompenses, but contents itself sim.
ply with respecting the person OF the
little animal. The service rendered is
unilateral. But it is easy to under.
stand that by the exercise of extremely
little intelligence, if not uncousciously,
the crocodile may he led to defend its
| trochilus.
Sometimes one animal will borrow
the services of another temporarily,
as in the case Of the serpent who il
ferried across river by n duck, or, At
lie frequently seen, several animals as
sist one another in crossing streams o
water, in lifting large stones, in NOV
ing the trunks of trees, in construct
ing dams, in hunting or In mutua

The Sultan,s Mental Conditlon

A curious story, illustrative Of the
Sultan's mental condition, is exciting
notice, accordinf4o the London Tele.
graph. IL is vouched for by the mar
rator, who had it from IN Embassy
with which he is on intimate terms.
Two days before tho Bairam festival,
the Aide de. Camp on duty went TO Alb
dul Hands room for orders, and
found him walking up and down with
wild gesticulatIons and incoherent
murmurs. As soon as tho Sultan
caught sight OF the officer. he ex-
claimed "5on OF dog, what are
you doing here? Do you not see that
/ am conversing with my father?"
The Aide-de Camp, in great alarm,
was about to withdraw, when Alb.
dull Hamid stopped him, say
ing "Prostraie yourself before my
father, and then execute his COM
mands. Down dropped the trembling
officer on his knees, awaiting the de.
velopments OF events with intense
anxiety. A quarter OF an hour later
his horrible suspense came To an end,
for the Commander Of the Faithful,
bringing his promenade to an abrupt
close, threw himself on q divau, and,
looking around tho chamber, relieved
tho mini OF The Aide-de-Camp by
inquiring what he was doing and why
he had come. lie had completely for
gotten the previous scene.

A Costly Rats, Nest

Tho famous rats nest, which was
built out of five 500 United States
Treasury notes in the end of an old
box cur on the louisville and Nash
vile Railroad in 1868, again becomes
matter OF public record in the Senate
files. John Veoley, carpenter at
Louisville, found these notes while
tearing out the end of tho aforesaid
old box car. While the notes were
pretty badly mutilated, there seems to
have been no difficulty i'll determining
their character, their denomination
and date, and the issue and series to
which each belonged.
Upon the advice of friend Veeley
took the notes 10 the Louisville Gus
tom House, and Mt his requeft they
were forwarded to the Treasury De-
partment for redemption, bat the de-
partment refused to redeem them, and,
with the approval of the Secretary,
they were returned to hing by express
in February, 1869. He then gold them
to one julius Wollman, n brcs$fl
$3.50.
n March, 1869, Wellman had them
sent again to the Treasury Depart
ment, and the matter was referred to
the First Comptroller, who decided on
the 3lst day of July, 1896, that they
should neither be redeemed nor re-
turned to Wellman. Veeley then re-
turnedNtho money to Wellman and re-
newed n,>, efforts to secure payment
from til N>easury Department. Re-
pcated refuss's were made until 1890,
when bill was introduced in the
Fifty-ffth Congress authorizing the
redemption of these notes. In each
succeeding Congress the bill has come
up, but has never yet been passed.
Senator Pasco, from the Committee
on Claims, has just made favorable
report, declaring that his committee
was impressed with tho justice of the
claim; that although moro than
twenty seven years have lelopsed since
the find and tho circumstances wer,
published in the newspapers at the
time, no claimant has appeared fol
the notes. Each note is plainly de
scribed and, in the opinion of The
committee, the United States ought t.
redeem its Just obligations. Wash

Electric Light by Wind Power.

Electric lighting is commonly in the
country regarded ns exclusively city
luxury. 1t is likely that the expense
OF carrying wires from house to house
in tbinly settled districts would be too
great to make it possible to furnish
electric light on n large scale econo-
mically. But the experience Of Nan.
sens ship, the Fran, on her northern
voyage shows that electric lighting by
wind power, transmitted to batteries
and stored as electricity, is entirely
possible. In the high Northern lati-
tudes fuel was much too precious 20
be used in making electric light. SO
"a big windmill was Get up, which was
run whenever the wind was favorable,
aud by store electricity made a steady
light all through the dark northern
winter. Such winimills arc often used
on Norwegian vessels TO work tho
pumps. We may yet see farm wind
mills providing power TO run dynamos
and charge storage batteries with elcc.

houses, as we'll as TO do much work

made arrangements for police posts

Next year, every possible avenue into
the Yukon country from the coast will
be guarded by police and customs Of
ficers.
He had also made arrangements for
a monthly mail service to and from
Dawson during the winter.
He says no telegraph line will be laid
this winter. The line will naturally go
alongside a permanent route, and it
must wait till that is decided upon.
The cabinet would select the best out
of the three routes-Chilkoot, White pass
and Stickeen river. Personally he was
inclined to favor the latter, as it was an
all-Canadian route. He felt disposed to
allow the issuances of miners licenses
at Victoria. He said the government
had decided to provide escorts to miners,
and in all districts to build treasure
houses.
Arrangements would be made where
by miners can exchange gold dust for
drafts payable by any Canadian bank.
The government would seriously con-
slider the question Of the establishment
Of a Canadian mint. Possibly the roy
atty regulations will be changed, so that
the collection will be on the net, and not
on the gross. output. He stated posi-
lively, however, that there would be no
abolition Of the royalty altogether. He
had found that it would be impossible
to reserve alternate claims so that the
government claims could be held in
groups.
The government will stand strongly
for the policy that a considerable por-
tion of the wealth of the Yukon country
should be reserved for public uses. The
department of the interior would short
ly issue a pamphlet giving the best up
to-date information regarding the Klon-
dixie. as prepared by Mr.. Ogilvie, domin-
ion surveyor.
