five to ten colonies. Hitherto 1t has
been supposed that there is never more
than one male in single herd, but
there now seems to be abundant proof
that each herd contains seals of only
one sex. Thus, in one bay there will
be five or six herds of males and in
another five or six herds of females.
Professor Chun, who has studied the
seals thoroughly in their native haunts,
says that for long time after the ami
mails return to the Kergueles in the
autumn they do not take any food, but
remain torpid in beds which they form
until they have shed their old hair and
put on a new coat. During the winter
he saw several seals killed. and not a
particle of food was found In their
stOmachs.
Mr.. Hall. on the other hand. says that
the seals during this period feed once
a day. going down to the water to OBJ
tain supply Of fish. In any case. it is
certain that these animals can live
without food for long time since they
have under their skin layer of fat
which Is fifteen centimeters in thick
ness.

GIANTS AMONG THE SEAL S.

Habits oS an Interesting Group of AM
phiba of the *outh Pac fic.
Professor G. Chun, German scicn-
tist, has begun making study of the
sea elephants, the gigantic seals found
In many portions of the South Pacific
ocean. He has been assisted in his
work by Robert Hall, learned natur-
alist, and the two investigators have
cleaned many new facts relative to
their habits and life.
These interesting seals are only found
in the southern sea. and mainly in the
vicinity of the Kergueles Islands,
where they go in August for the pur-
pose of pairing. They remain there un-
til February or March. During the win
ter they are very dull and apathetic,
but as spring approaches they become
more lively. OF human beings they
are not in the least afraid. Mr.. Hall
says that he went several times through
q herd Of forty or fifty animals while
tsey were doing, and only few were
disturbed by him.
These seals live In communities. and

SOnp with a Sentiment,

People living around the vicinity Of
9th and Chestnut streets had good
laugh one day last week. A little ne
gro girl is in the habit of coming to
the pump at the corner to get water.
She brings her bucket along, and, being
too small to handle the pump, she usual
ly begs some passer-by to pump for her.
They always accede. The other day
she had reached her destination with
the bucket, and as she did so a tall,
sober looking gentleman passed. mis-
ter" said the small African damsel,
won't you please fill my bucket for
me?
The gentleman instantly halted, put
the tin bucket on the spout and started
to pump. AS he did so. the negro bloom
or began singing in a loud voice, ''lse
got er white man wukkin' for me-"
The familiar tune Of the variety song
struck the bystanders and passers-by,
and they We're convulsed with the sit
uation. No so the pumper. He evi-
IDENTIFY did not know anything about
comic songs of that character, and did
not see the joke. for he went on pump
ing gravely until the bucket was filled
and handed to it's songful owner.
You couldn't get any of the fellows
near there now to fill that bucket un-

over 30 years Of age, alone of all the
royal family of Great Britain looks
really in vigorous health. 1t is prob
ably due to the open-air life he leads
and his love of sport and exercise.

ceedingly popular with the army and is
regarded as the best-looking Of the sons

A Forgotten Craft,

It was probably known to nearly
every Roman citizen how the mortar
which cemented the stones of their
buildings was made-just as it il
known to the majority of people that
the principal ingredient of English
mortar is street scrapings. But, the
knowledge being general, nobody wrote
1t down, and in time, as the Romans
shifted their building upon slaves and
foreigners, the recipe of their mortar
was lost. So far it has not been dis
covered. though the secret Of it would
be immensely valuable for the cement
outlasts the very stones which it joins.

Of lightning, showing that it il

elements which seem to be split up into
still more elementary substances, pre-

the spectrum Of Nova, the new star in

Of hydrogen appear curiously different

both in intensity and position bear
close resemblance to what they show

from center to circumference with in

enough to involve many such worlds as
ours in destruction-and the cool air
