FUR SEALS FOR HUDSON BAY.
Proposal to Bring Them from Behring Sea
-Enormous Profits Expected

The stocking of Hudson bay with
Behring sea fur seals is proposed Sug-
gestions looking to something of this kind
were made many years ago and the mat
ter was once proposed in Parliament, but
nothing came Of it.
Enormous profits are expected from the
enterprise. On account of the similarity
of natural conditions between the waters
OF Hudson bay and those forming the
habitat of the fur seal the naturalists
consulted have no doubt of the success
of the project. The mean temperature
of Behrlng sea from June to October is
~ degrees and the highest 81 degrees.
while in Hudson bay the mean is 30 de
grees during the same period and the
highest is 80 degrees. The bay contains
many islands suitable for breeding
grounds.
The first cost of the enterprise will be
well under $4,000. The greatest expense
will be i'll transporting the seals on the
long journey from Alaska. 1t is ques-
ton whether the matter will be taken up
by&he government of the Dominion or by
a private company.
When the introduction of seals into
Hudson bay was suggested some years
ago the objection then made by mem
berS OF the government of the day was
that fur seals consumed an enormous
quantity of valuable food fish and might
therefore he destructive OF the eastern
fisheries of the Dominion. 1t is now
known that there are nowhere more val
liable food fishes found than in Behring
sea and elsewhere in waters frequented
for many generations by enormous num-
bers of these seals The herds of hair
or Newfoundland seals i'll the North AT
!antic do not appreciably affect the sup
ply of commercial fishes in those waters,
and moreover it is asserted by natural
lists that the chief food of the fur seal is
the squid and other fish of a iellylike ma
ture, which are unfit for human food
1t is proposed that the company OBJ
tanning permission to stock the waters of
Hudson bay with seals shall be secured
in the right To protect them from slaugli-
ter by others and shall also he empow-
cred to capture fish and mammals in the
bay, this latter industry being calculated
to give il ii revenue while protecting the
seals during the first few years of their
life in the bay.
The fish and mammals known to in
habit the bay in large numbers are the
right and white whales, the porpoise. the
wulrus and several kinds of hair seals,
salmon. whitetiSh. trout and cod.
1t is believed that the company could
in one year reimburse itself by its catch
of whales, walruS. porpoise and hair
seals for all the cost of stocking the bay
with fur seals.-New York Sun.

French Law School in Egypt.

Egyptian Jurisprudence appears To be
almost misnomer owing to the largest
part played in the law courts of the
country by foreign laws and lawyers.
Some years ago. in the days when Brit
ish and French policy in Africa or else
where did not jog trot as smoothly side
by side as they do today. the French
even founded law school in Cairo, and
this at present has 224 students.
Its progress has been so great that it
is being paralyzed for want OF space to

lie instruction has been sent TO devise
means for providing them. In this he
has succeeded by an ingenious expedient,

The old schoolship ST. Mary's has
gone on her last cruise of instruction
with the boys of the New York Nautical
School. When she returns to New York
in September she will be supplanted by
a more modern vessel because steam and
electrical engineering have been added to
the curriculum. The modern ship is a
thing full of enginery, and the New York
school cannot produce able seamen UNI
less it teaches the boys something about
machinery and electricity. 1t will of
course continue to instruct the boys in
the handling of sails and rigging, Just
a. the naval cadets at Annapolis are
taught in the arts of the seamen of old
who could maneuver a fighting ship with
her canvas; as men who serve on the sea
need this instruction in order to fit them
for mastery Of the elements in emergen-
cies. Without such instruction in the
handling of spars, rigging and boats, the
seamen of the present would be as help
less Il stevedores in q gale.

which desires to build line from Buff
falo to Rochester, and thence to Troy,

operate the road by steam, electricity or

logical development of transporta ton en-
,erprse in these days of closer control.
The construction of new lines into sec
