THE HOME OF THE SEAL.
Built Under the Ice and of the Same
Shape as the Eskimo's House.

Although the seal spends its life in and
under the water. it is an air-breathing
animal and cannot live for any great
length CT time without air. As winter
spreads sheets of ice over the fast freez-
ing Arctic sea, the seal breaks a hole in
the ice over the water where it lives
rms hole 1t is very careful to keep oDeu
all winter long, breaking away each new
crust as 1t forms, so that. no matter how
tllck the ice becomes, the animal always
hnds there breathing place and pas
sage to the surface of the ice above.
where 1t can get fresh air and take Il
nap, for it does not sleep in the water.
Then again, although the seal can exist
Tor time out of the water. it has to
seek ITS food in the sea; $50 that without
both land t0F icel and water it could not
survive the Arctic winter. How, after
once leaving its breathing hole in search
of the fish upon which it feeds, the seal
can find its way in the dark under the
ice, yard in thickness, ana spreading
over many miles, back again to its hole.
no one knows; but it is not the less Ger
tam that When it needs air it swinlS as
straight 10 its breathing place as 4 bird
could fly through the air to its nest
When the seal is about to build her
house, she first makes the breathing hoie
larger, and then, by means Of her strong
claws and fipperS. or rorepa8s, scoops
out the snow, taking it down with her
through the ice until She has made a
domeilke apartment Of the same shape.
though not the same size, as. that built
by the Eskimo. Unlike the huts built by
man, however. it cannot be seen from
without. for above it stretches the long
slope of untTodden snow, and the baby
seal, for whose comfort the house was
built, and its mother, are safe from any
foes that cannot find where the house is
by the sense of smell.
The house, however, is sometimes dis
covered by the great polar bear, who.
when his nose has told him that he is
upon the top of the seal house, leaps in
the air, and, bringing his feet together.
comes down with all his great weight.
breaking through the roof and catching
the baby seal before it can get away.
Hooking enc Of his sharp claws into its
little ripper, the bear then does n very
cruel thing. He lets the cub down the
breathing hole, so as to lead the anxious
mother TO ,ome to il as ii slowly draws
mother to come TO it as it struggles ia
the water. When she does so, he slowly
draws it up again, and, as she fellows
it, strikes and secures her with the claws
of his other foot
Very few of these seal houses are found
out, however, either by men or beasts o.
prey; and they last until the feeble Are
til 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.-St. Nicholas.

average weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the mid

weeks. The nuts begin to fall with the
leaves, and the perfect cultivation under
the trees leaves no chance for them to lose
themselves among clods or weeds. The
brown, dead leaves alone hide the nuts,
Under normal conditions they drop free

About 100 feet from shore he cut sew
