much interest the many tinted bars

"forked tongues of flame" from
wood burning in a fire. These va

the fuel. The light blue is from

HUNTING THE SEAL.
The Dog Hood OF the Atlantic Is q
Desperate Fighter.


The seal hunters have been call
ed heroes. but they have earned the
title in doing just what their ia
theirs and forefathers have done for
800 years-catching seals to make
living. When we think of seals we
bring to mind the animals for
whose rich coat of fur milady Is
willing 10 pay hundreds or even
thousands of dollars-the fur seal,
which inhabits the north Pacific
ocean. But in the waters of the
Atlantic lives another species,
which is also sought for its coat or
hide, which goes into many thou
sands of pocketbooks, satchels,
gloves and other articles, for which
it is especially valuable. So every
year hardy Observation-Disclosures take
their lives in their hands in the
seal hunt, for not only is its coat
valuable. but the blubber of the
young Yields an oil much priced for
different purposes.
There are four species Of seals in
the waters around Newfoundland
and Labrador ~ the bay seal, the
harp, the hood and the square flip
per. The harp seal-the seal of
commerce. so called from hav-
ing a broad, curved line of dark
connected spots extending along
each shoulder and meeting on the
back above the tail, forming a fig
ure something like an ancient harp.
As the hoods are often with the
harps, they are also taken for their
skins. The male, called the "dog
hood is distinguished from the fe-
male by a curious sack or bag Of
flesh on his nose. When attacked
or cnraged he initiates this hood
with air so as to cover the face and
eyes, and it is strong enough to re-
sist seal shot. When thus protect
ed he can be killed only by shoot
ing him in the neck and the base of
the skull
Unlike the cowardly harp seal,
the dog hood fights desperately in
defense of his mate and young ones,
and if they are killed he becomes
furious, initiates his hood, while his
nostrils dilate into two huge blad-
ders As he rushes at his enemy
with foundering leaps, it is as well
to keep safe distance if the hunter
is alone, for instances have occur
red where fight between an old
dog hood and five or six men has
lasted for an hour, and more than
once a man has been crunched TO
death by the powerful jaws.
The seal is a great traveller, but
depends on the rivers of the ocean
to take him where he wants to 60.
Like a good many other tourists, he
spends his summer in the north,
leaving the southern waters in May
and spending about three months
in the seas about Greenland. With
the beginning of the arctic winter
the seal horse starts on its long
southern voyage.-Day Allen Will
ley in Van Norden's.

Cloud Effects From Above.

1t has been my lot to see IN arc
tic regions some hundreds of thou
sands of icebergs close at hand, and
1 have always believed them to be
the most beautiful objects on earth.
But the clouds of the sky close at
hand are almost as beautiful. If
you mount above one Of these ma
jestic things, swiftly overlapping one
by one its folds and wreaths, and if
remembering how high it is you
look down and see only small green
patches of earth through holes in
the cloud carpet below, you have a
little thrill of conception of how
lonely a man would feel, falling
away down there and not being able
TO see the spot where he must
alight. 1t is a safe little thrill,
however. You know that you are
not going to fall. Such dizziness as
some persons feel in standing near
great heights on the earth is almost
unknown in ballooning, - Success
