SEA LIONS OF CALIFORNIA.

Their Partial Destruction Basel on a
Mistaken Lea.
Prof. Woodward's wholesome address
on the necessity of verifying theories
by the observation Of facts finds an ex-
cellent illustration in the sea lion ques-
ton in California. These animals,
which have long been priced by lovers
of nature as one of the great attrac-
tions of tine coast, have fallen into dis

repute among the fishermen because
their presence was supposed to account
for the deterioration of certain fishing
grounds. So confident was the belief
in their fish-devouring habits that their
destructiOn-Or ut least Il great reduc-
ton of their numbers-was advocated
and in part accomplished by the State
Commission of Fisheries, according to
a writer in Science. But it now ap-
pears that this belief was without sub
stantial foundation
The appeal TO fact has been made by
the critical examination of the stom-
achs of slaughtered sea lions. and it
has been found by Prof Dyche that the
twenty-five animals examined had eat
en- only squids and other cephalopOds,
eschewing fish altogether.
The investigation of food habits by
means Of stomach examination is OF far
reaching Importance. DIR. Merriam is

vey. in the most elaborate study of
animal foods ever made. For many
years the stomachs of wild birds and
mammals have been systematically col

end that the favOrite and the occasion
al foods of each species in each season
of the year and in each part of the
country may become known. AS each
group is worked up the facts are pub

as hostile to the interests of the peo-
pie. In many instances it has been

The Stubborn Company Cook.

The stubborn Company Cook.
Where we We're camped one spell in
front of Petersburg" said a Civil War
veteran to a New York Sun man, there
was one gun OH the other side that
seemed to have a line of our company
street.
THAT used to disturb us cOnsidera-
bic. because we didn't know but what
some day shell might come along
through there and carry off our dinner,
and We tried 10 get the cook to shift
the fire n little, ten feet or so. so 1t
wouldn't be in so much danger; but he
was a stubborn cuss, and he wouldn't.
"He said n cook fire wouldn't look
very nice out in the middle of the CON-
pany street. and there wasn't any dam
ger, anyhow. What he wanted,
guess, was to keep it where it would
be most convenient, right alongside Of
his tent; but there's where he did keep
it. anyway. We couldn't move him,
till something happened.
I'VE We're going to have boiled pork,
boiled beans and coffee for dinner one
day, and all three kettles were hanging
side by side and close together on the
pole, and b'ilin' away merrily, when
along came shell. there close to the
ground. and how it ever did it I don't
know, because it didn't have the kettles
in line; but it managed somehow, all
the same, to smash all three of them
into seventeen different kinds of cooked
hats. and it scattered our dinner pretty
much all over creation.
For about minute it Just rained
beans and coffee and chunks of pork all
round that neighbOrhOOd. Some Of the
pork came down four streets away, and
it seemed as though in our street there
wasn't tent hut what got more or less
of the beans or coffee or both. You
wouldn't have thought they could have
been so widely distributed, so that there
was enough of 'em to go round so far,
and the shell didn't explode. you under.
stand, either-just smashed the kettle,
and passed on.
well, We lost our dinner that day.
jet the loss served one good purpose:

to move the fire little, anyway, out of
the range Of that gun"

SECRETARY LONG ACTS.
Historian MacIay Loses His Job in the
Brooklyn Navyyard.


Washington, Dec. 25.-Secretary
Long has discharged Edgar Stanton
Maclay from his position as a skilled
laborer in the Brooklyn maynard.
Mr.. Maclay having refused to resign
when requested to do so. Mr.. Marlay
is the author of a naval history am, ir,
its last volume sharply criticised Ad-
mlral Schlev and Denounced him as a
caititf, poltroon and coward.
Secretary Longs action was taken
by direction of the president and fol-
lowed a conference between the pres
1dent and the secretary, who took to
the White House with him a letter
from Maclay in response to the request
for his resignation sent by the secre-
tary last Saturday. In this letter
Maclay submitted that he could not be
removed or compelled to resign with
out definite charges being made
against him and without having an o.
portunity to answer those charges.
Although the civil service rules give
employees of the public service the
opportunity of answering charges that
may be preferred against them, the
president exercised his prerogatives in
the present instance and directed
Maclay's removal, it being held that
the latter was aware unofficially, if not
officially of the reasons which actu-
ated the executive in taking the course
determined upon
Secretary Long said the action taken
would dispose of the case finally.

BRlSDNS ARE GLOOMY.
Third Christmas in Succession Finds
the Country at Wa.

the Country at Wa.
London, Dec. 25.-"Christmas for
the third year in succession finds the
country engaged in war;" is the burden
of the editorials in London papers, and
regrets are expressed that the casualty
list issued during the day totals 40
men killed and II wounded Satisfac-
ton, however, is found in the fact th at
the process of attrition brings the end
of the struggle perceptibly nearer.
Compensation is likewise found in the
undlmmshed loyalty displayed by the
colonies.
An army order has been issued an
nouncing that no volunteers will be
accepted in the future who are only
able to devote to training purposes the
time required for elementary barrack
square drill. The commamler-in-chief
points out IN this connection that
modern warfare has so changed condi-
lions that in order that they shall be
effective it is now imperative that the
volunteers attend the annual instruc-
ton Clamps and field 'maneuvers. It is
generally believed that this order will
ent volunteers.
The war Office has decided to with.
draw 20 batteries of artillery from
South Africa at once. This action is
taken on the ground that under the
present conditions of guerrilla warfare
the guns are of little use, and are
rather a himdrance to mobility and
decisive action.

DISCREPANCIES IN STATISTICS,
Coal Men at a Loss to Understand Cap.
tain Gailiard's Figures.

Duluth, Dec. 25.-Captain .. D..
Gaillard, United States engineer in
charge at Duluth, has prepared a state
ment of The coal receipts at the head
Of Lake Superior for the season of
1901. with comparative statement of
receipts for other years. It shows that
the aggregate coal receipts have been
increasing since 1895, as far back as
the comparisons extend. The present
seasons receipts we're the largest on
record.
For the present season the total re-
ceipts are given at 2,SSO.=26 tons, of
which 1,952 sos tons were bituminous
and 921,531 tons anthracite.
Local coal men affect to be deeply
puzzled at these figures. They do not
criticise the soft coal report, but as
sert the hard coal figures do not cor
respond with the Sault figures. Ac-
cording to one of them the estimate
total of all hard coal delivered to Lake
Superior this season was $4,000 tons,
of which they claim only 80 per cent
is delivered at the head of the lake.
This makes a large discrepancy from
the 921,531 tons reported by the gov
eminent, which can't be accounted for
Captain Gaillard says his report has
been carefully compiled from individ-
ual reports of vessel masters.
