Advertising is looked upon now
quite different to what it was fifty
years ago. That far back it was
looked upon with suspicious and
was taken to mean that the quail
ty of the goods advertised was ra-
Their inferior, az it seemed to re-
auire an unusual effort to effect
sales. Today the tendency is en-
tirely changed and the man OF
firm that refuses to advertise is
looked upon with suspicion. Ad'
vertisiug has created confidence In
advertising goods, and the man
who will not advertise lends color
to the idea that his wares will mo-
stand the searchlight of publicity

south of San Francisco, and thereupon turning northward again. Having studied this habit of theirs, it has been an easy matter for the masters of vessels specially equipped for this sort of fishery to follow along with the herd throughout it's entire migra- tion, and to kill of the animals at leisure.
 Sometimes the seals, under such circumstances, are speared while sleeping on the water, but usually they are shot. When shot, unless in- stantly killed, they dive, and, as a re- suit, nine out of ten of those fatally injured are lost. Accordingly, 1t is estimated that the capture of 100000 seals by this means involved the de- struction of about 100000. If ex- posed to attack in no other way, the herd could not survive such decimina- tion for an indefinite period; but, to complete the deadly work, the seal hunters pursued the practice of coast ing in the vicinity of the island, and destroying the females as they ven tured out to sea in pursuit of fish for food.
 When an animal is assailed on its breeding gorunds, it is surely doomed, in as much as natures opportunity of multiplying the species is cut of. Thus it has been with the fur seals Every female killed in the vicinity of the islands left one or more pups on shore to starve to death, and in this manner, year after year. tens of thou. sands of the young perished miser- ably. No wonder, then, that within the last 30 years the rookeries of the Pribyloy group have been rendered almost barren of the pinniped inhab- itants, the herd. being reduced in numbers during that period from about 5.O0O,000 to 175,0O0-the pres ent estimate
 Against such depredations by our own people effective measures might have been adopted, but our govern. ment has been almost helpless to deal with the Canadian poachers. all eff. forts to secure the cooperation of Great Britain being vain. In as mIch as all of the sealskins are dyed and otherwise prepared for market in England. where for many years the industry has given profitable employ. ment to upward of 10000 persons, the attitude of our friends across the sea ir this matter has been, to say the least of it. unintelligent; but even ye; it is unchanged. the main cause of it being that the British authorities were reluctant. on technical grounds. to admit that our rights in Behring sea extended beyond the customary threemile limit. Now, it happens that the female seals commonly swim from % to % miles away from the ts- lands in pursuit of fish, and thus the Canadian poachers are easily able to destroy them
