will drive them for miles and they apparently will not frequent the place from which they have been disturbed for some time, may be for years. This, in a manner. may account for the growing scarcity, as they may migrate to less noisome localities. Such being the case it is difficult to establish their habitat with any degree of certainty.
 The only restrictions at present imposed on the hunter is the pro- hibition of steam or any mechani- cal mode of propulsion in the hunt ing vessel and the employment of none other than the native inhab- tant adjacent to the hunting grounds or waters; nor can the hunter transport natives of one locality to hunt in another.
 Their capture is very difficult and almost beyond the possibilities of the Cauoasians. In fact many white men after sojourn of years in the Aleutlan islands have never seen an otter. and few. if any, have ever seen them in numbers. It is only on the finest days and in the smoothest waters that they disport on the surface. Having to be ap. preached by stealth, the native in his bidarki is his captor. The way usually followed by the hunter is to make an ofiing with his vessel and launch the bidarkies, each having two natives, one to paddle and the other to do the shooting; they paddle to windward of the essel, az their prey must be ap- preached from leeward on account oi ms sensitive scent, shot at a dis tance of few yards and be immed- lately picked up, hence it is often that the bidarkies are miles to the windward of the vessel. The bidarki, freighted with one or pos sibly two otter, together with the natives, makes return to the ves- sel in case swell should arise, ex- tremely hazardous.
 It is not unusual for a sea otter skin to sell for $500, while remark ably good skins may bring two, three or five times that amount.

The new council, which is to cr- ganize next Monday, will find themselves in . good position as far as the town finances are con. cerned, and with moderate economy should be able to % through the coming year without putting the town in debt. There is very little necessity for street work this year, and if a plan can be figured out by which the town can put in the much needed fire protection sug- gested recently, this body will have every reason to be proud of their years work. Our facilities for fighting fire are so inadequate that every citizen will strongly favor an expenditure for better protection, at the expense of other improve. ments.

Speaking of the extortionate charges of the beef trust, the San Francisco Examiner some time ago proposed that the reindeer industry of Alaska be developed so that the western states could be supplied with reindeer meat and do away with trust prices on the coast. While there is very little prospect of Alaska deer ever competing in the states with home.raised beef. it is not impossible for this country to supply it's own markets with meat. According to reliable re ports there is plenty of grazing land on the islands to the westward, and now that meat has taken an. other thirty per cent jump, there should be money in the stock busi- ness in Alaska.

The oea Otter.

Few persons not connected with the fur trade have any idea of the enormous destruction of animal life that takes place each year among fur.besring animals or of the extraordinary way in which the supply of these animals appear to keep up.
 There are only a few species which seem to be verging on ex. .tinction; such as the sea otter, the beaver lover large tracts of coun. try), certain sorts of fur seals and a species of West African monkey.
 Northern Asia and northern North America still produce vast quantities of fur, and from appear. ances will long continue to do so.
 Perhaps the most valuable fur in the world is that of the sea otter, formerly so abundant on the shores of the Pacific ocean in Northern Asia and North America, hut now in great danger of extermination unless soon effectively protected.
 Between the years of l772 and l774 about 10000 skins of the sea
 
 otter were taken in the Aleutian islands alone and the fur was so eagerly sought after that at the end of the eighteenth century about 10000 skins were taken each year
 The result of such destruction could not be doubted; the animal became more timid and the mum.

FRUITFUL FURNACES.
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES PRECIOUS
STONES.

Scientists Have Succeeded in Plucking
Real Diamonds and Rubies From the
Crucible of tho Furnace.
Recent advices from France state
that Professor Moissan, the eminent
scientist and inventor, has actually
succeeded in making genuine dia-
monds and rubies. He employs for
this purpose the electric furnace,
which has been so improved that a
degree Of heat can be produced ap-
proaching the extreme temperatures
which were undoubtedly q factor in
the formation of minerals and gems in
the interior Of the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing ten or fifteen carats.
and in quality and color equal and
even surpass those found in the earth.
The natural forces attending the for
nation of diamonds seem to have
, been more complicated, and, so far the
, diamonds resulting from the efforts OF
the scientists have been very small.
bpt still they are positively identified
rs the carbon crystalline diamond.
They are remarkably clear and bright,
and on a small scale rs fine specimens
as natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with whole series of new
compounds. Probably the one Of most
value to mankind at large is Calcium
Carbide. The simple application of
water to Calcium Carbide generates
the gas Acetylene, which is now being
commonly used for lighting.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its brilliance and high candle
power, ease of installation, economy
and it's adaptability for lighting build
iligs of every description, regardless
of their location.

Smart Gator SkilIful Liar

Cats do not think-no animal does,
says Mr.. Burroughs. But how about
the LacOnia cat that found it difficult
to catch the abundant English sparrow
in his New Hampshire village and
evolved the scheme of planting himself
with his back to the street where the
sparrows congregated and watching
them in the reflection of plate-glass
window? He has played this game for
a long time, not being deceived by the
window, but when a sparrow gets
within jumping distance then the cat
leaps and gets his victim. And is not
this reasoning?-Philadel Press.
