The transfer of the great collection

On the Hunt for Bones.
Every once in a while the National
museum sends out an expedition of its
own in pursuit OF rare and correspond
ingly valuable bones. Thus, only few
years ago, one of its staff naturalists,
DR.. Leonhard Stejneger, paid a visit TO
the Commander islands, in the western
part Of Boring sea. for the purpose of
digging for the osseous remains Of the
extinct Arctic seacow. an animal known

about century later, in 1854
This remarkable animal attained a
/ length of 80 feet and a weight of 5000
pounds. Its herds frequented the shall
I lows at the mouths of rivers feeding
on aquatic vegetation. Unfortunately,
its flesh was good to eat, resembling
beef, and the Arctic whalers rapidly
wiped out the species. When Dr. Steje-
ner reached the islands, he found the
natives using seacow ribs as sled run
ners. He sought the bones by prod
ding in the sand with ramrods at the
river mouths, and in this way secured
great quantity, including a number
of skulls
Sea Elephant Bones.

the seacow, this valuable and interest

skeletons are obtained mainly from es-
Establishments which deal on a large
scale in what are called natural histo-
nv specimens" The largest of these is
at Rochester, N Y, where several
huge warehouses are filled with dead
and preserved animals of every imagin-
able kind.
Agents Everywhere.
The natural history establishments
have agents in many parts of the world
-particularIy in those least civilized
regions which are for that reason most
productive of wild animals. THESE
agents in their turn, employ skilled
native hunters to shoot and trap the
creatures wanted. Where mammals
are concerned, after the skin has been
removed the skeleton is denuded of
flesh in a rough way, and is then pow
dered with arsenic and dried in the
shade Then the skull and leg bones
ore hacked inside of the ribs, and the
material is ready for transportation.
Snakes are usually dried whole, with
the skins on, freely sprinkled with ar
senic.
This is the shape in which skeletons
generally speaking reach the Nation
al museum in Washington. The prob
lem then is to clean them and assem-
ble' the partS-to put the oSseOuS
framework of each animal together, in
other words. AS might be supposed,
great deal of skill is required. Small
bones are soaked in a mixture of water
and boraX, and are cleaned with little
knives and scrapers. Large bones are
placed in water and left until what
flesh remains on them is entirely rot
ted. Then they are washed in hot wa
ter. scrubbed with water and soda,
soaked in a very dilute solution of
chloride of lime Ito remove odor), and
finally bleached in the shade. To
bleach them in the sun would be liable
to crack them.
Putting Skeletons Together.
The skeletons of the big animals are
put together with Wires-usqally with
an iron rod thrust through the verte-
bre- The vertebrae, that is to say. are
strung upon the rod to begin with,
and the ribs are then attached. Where
small creatures are concerned, the mai
ural ligaments ordinarily serve to hold
the bones together; but the head and
