After awhile the first seal rolls out of
the way or the other seal comes and
crowds it out. The last seal rolls in
under the slightly overhanging coping
around the top Of the pool, which has
curve that happens just to fit it, and
rubs its back, maybe, while the water
is playing upon Its sides. What higher
comfort could be imagined! And 1t
rolls over after awhile so that the hose
can be played all over 1t, and drops it's
head on the stone and lies there and
enjoys itself. And II the man with the
hose should divert the stream for a
moment the seal raises its head and
looks around as II to say:
"Hi, therel What's the matter with
that water?"
And when the water has been finally
turned off the seals lie there and 60

COMFORT FOR THE SEALS.
A Daily Shower from n Hose Pipe
That Gives the sportive AMI
mails Great Enjoyment.

Through the winter the water in the
pool Of the West Indian seals at the
aquarium WAS kept raised to tenn
perature that would make it safe and
agreeable for them, and daily incl
dent in the care Of the seals consisted
in the warming of their beds. The Seals
sleep on a stone platform, which is
raised few inches above the level of
the water at one end of the pool. As
the time approaches for them to climb
out of the water the stones were
warmed by playing hot water upon
them for a time from hose. The stones
We're thus made warm and comfortable
at the outset, and after the seals had
settled down upon them they kept
.them warm with the heat of their
bodies.
The water used IN winter was
hot and the seals kept away from it
while 1t was running. As the warmer
weather came on water not so hot was
used, though it is still necessary to

this latitude, for these seals in nature
are accustomed always to warmer wa

stone bed also is still warmed up for
them. But with the water not so hot
they began climbing up on the stone
platform while the hose was still play
ing, and sometimes the hose was
turned upon them. They enjoyed this
nightly, and now daily part of the
seals programme is 10 come up on the
platform and have the hose played on

The people of the United States are

France to respond to Il call for money
AZ the close OF the war with Germany
thousand millions were demanded
of France by way of indemnity. A
popular loan was provided and an
appeal was made to the people to re-
plenish an exhausted Treasury. In a
very few days the French Govern
ment had to call a halt. More money
was offered than was wanted.
There is no doubt that call for
millions of men and millions ofmoney
would meet with u prompt affirmative
response. We would not find it nee
essary to negotiate loan with Roths-
childs or any other gold syndicate.
The question would never be asked
whether the money to redeem the
obligations would be gold or silver or
greenbacks, if they were the lawful
money of the United States.
If it were possible to enforce it it
would be to enact law that the loan
was a domestic one, and the amount
