Great SLAUGHTER of Salmon.

In the Sea of Okotsk the salmon are
suicidal and one of the most start
ling examples of the spendthrift side
of nature may be found In the rivers
that run into this sea. When six years
old the salmon begin a voyage OF
death. Ascending the river of their
infancy they race in countless thou
sands upstream until lack Of food and
lack of elbow room kill them off. A
recent traveller declares that, however
many millions of salmon may run up
the river, not one ever reaches the
sea again alive. What becomes OF
the rivers of dead salmon? The sea-
gulls wheel down upon the scene and
feast upon their eyes, scorning any.
thing less dainty. Bears, wolves,
foxes and sledge dogs are made COM
Portable for the year.
