the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample Of the evil attendant OH the

THE HOME OF THE SEAL.
Built Under the Ice and OF the Same Shape
A. the EskimO's House.
From 81. NichoLds.

From 81. Nicholas.
Although the seal spends It's life in and
under the water. it is an air breathing AMI
NAL and cannot live for any great length OF
time without air. As winter spreads sheets
Of ice over the fast freezing Arctic sea. the
seal breaks hole In the ice over the water
where 1t lives This hole 1t is very careful
to keep open all winter long. breaking away
each new crust as IL forms. so that. no matter
how thick the loo becomes. the animal always
finds there a breathing place and passage
to the surface OF the Ice above. where 1t can
get fresh air and take nap. for 1t does not
sleep in the water. Then again. although the
seal can exist for a time out OF the water. IL
has to seek its food In the sea: so that without
both land Tor ice) and water 1t could not sur
vive the Arctic winter. How. after once
leaving its breathing hole In search OF the
fish upon which 1t feeds. the seal can find
its way in the dark under the Ice, a yard in
thickness, and spreading over many miles.
back again to its hole no one knows; but II is
not the less certain that when II needs air 1t
swims as straight to its bresthing place az
bird could ny through the air 10 It's nest.
When the seal il about 10 build her house.
ahe first makes the breathing hole larger.
and then. by means OF her strong claws and
nippers or forepaws, scoops out the snow.
taking it down with her through the ice until
she has made Q domelike apartment OF the
same shape though not the same size, as
that built by the Eskimo. Unlike the huts
built by man. however. II cannot be seen
from without. for above 1t stretches the long
slope Of untrodden snow. and the baby seal.
for whose comfort the house was built. and
its mother, arc safe from any foes that can
not find whore the house 10 by the sense OF
smell.
The house. however. 10 sometimes dis
covered by the great polar bear. who. when
his nose has told him that he ID upon the top
OF the seal house. leaps In the air and. brin ging
his feet together. comes down with all his
great weight. breaking through the roof and
catching the baby seal before II can get away.
Hooking one of his sharp claws into it's little
hipper. the bear then does very cruel thing.
He lets the cub down the breathing hole. 80
as to lead the anxious mother to come to it
as it struggles In the water. When she does
80. he slowly draws II up again. and as she
follows 1t, strikes and secures her with the
claws Of his other foot
Very few Of these seal houses are found
out. however. either by mon or beasts OF
prey: and they last until the feeble Arctic
summer partly melts the snow that covered
and concealed them OF course by this time
the baby seal has grown large and strong
enough to take care Of itself. and lives
great way from Its place Of birth.
