LAsT on SEA ELEpHANTs.
Ago, the Herds Are Now
Extinct.

Fifty years ago the fine natural har-
Dor on the southwest coast of the is
land OF Santa Catalina gave shelter tc
what was perhaps one of the largest
herds of the California sea elephant
macrorhinus angus tirostris-then
known, the largest of its tribe, many
attaining height of 22 feet, says the
Scientific American.
Ii was a striking and conspicuous OBJ
iect, and naturally attracted the atten-
tion of the whites, who Immediately be.
gan a war Of determination, the animal
being very valuable for its oil, the large
bulls affording 200 or more gallons.
The animals were very plentiful at
this time from latitude 25 to 35 degrees
but the war of determination began
about 1852, and the present decade has
in all probability, seen the last Of the
animals.
The government, recognizing the in
eyitable, sent an expedition TO Lower
California a few years ago and secured
all the sea elephants they could find
and the oil hunters have since then
completed the work, and IL is believed
that this fine animal is extinct.
In 1884 the crew Of the sloop Liberty
killed 90. These men had sentiment
enough to leave few females and
young; but 1t was mistake, as some
weeks later another boatload of exter-
minators came along and slaughtered
what was left of the herd.
The government then sent Charles H
Townsend to secure what animals
might have remained. He visited al
the localities in Lower California which
had formerly given shelter to these ami
mails, but found none until he came tC
San Cristobel bay, where there was 4
herd Of is, these being killed in the In
terest Of science. These were probably
the last Of the race.

La grippe is, strictly speaking, cpl

of acute catarrh which is SO contagious
and runs a course more or less definite,
the same rs scarlet fever, whooping
cough, etc.
During the acute stakes OF la grippe it
is not a very fatal disease, but the condi-
tion, in which it leaves the system has
caused the death Of a countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has
had la grippe within the last three years
finds himself more or less deranged by
the pernicious effects of this disease. The

death find life scarcely worth living.
