TRAGEDY OF SEAL HUNTING.
Process BY Which the Creatures Are
Beina Exterminated.

With a gaff the hunter delivers
rapid blow upon the nose Of the seal,
the most vulnerable point, and In the
case Of the young seals this ends their
existence instantaneously, says Wide
World magazine. In a moment the
man is on his knees, his large jack
ife is at work, and the skin, with
the adhering fat, is rapidly detached
from the carcass. which is left on the
ice. The pelts, as the skin and fat are
called, are then bound up in bundles,
marked with a flag to denote owner
ship, and then either allowed to re-
main on the ice until the ship ap-
proaches the spot, or-where this Is
mpossible-dragged by the men over
the hummocky surface to the steam
er's side.
The old seals, however, are not so
easily disposed of. The skull and hide
of the dog-seal are frequently so thick
that he cannot be killed with the gaff
used on the younger ones. In this
event he is shot with rifle, and each
squad Of seal-hunters carries at least
one gun intended for this purpose. A
peculiar characteristic of the male
seal is a hood, or bag Of flesh, on his
nose. When attacked or enraged the
creature initiates this hood so as to
cover the face and eyes, and it is then
strong enough to resist steel shot.
When thus protected the animal can
only be killed by shooting him in the
neck at the base of the skull. The
seal will fight desperately in defense
Of it's mate and young ones, and II
they are killed he becomes furious
and initiates his hood, while his nostrils
dilate into two huge bladders. His
appearance as, with uncouth, found
ering leaps he rushes on his foe is
most awe-inspiring.
Instances have occurred where a
fight between an old "dog-hood" and
five or six men has lasted for an hour;
and sometimes the hunter is fearfully
torn and even killed in the encounter.
On one occasion two hunters attacked
a pair of seals and foolishly killed the
female first. The old male instantly
inflated his hood and rushed at them
furiously They fought him with their
gaffs until nearly exhausted, and
terrible death threatened both. AS a
last desperate resource one of them
resolved to dash in upon the infuri-
ated brute, while the other stood by
ready for emergencies. Drawing his
iack-knife, the hunter rushed on the
dog hood and struck a well-planted
blow into the inflated hood. Instantly
the air escaped and the shield was
rendered useless. when blow on the
nose from the gaff of the other dis
patched him.

Had Tried All kinds.-A noted hea-

No use resigning, John, old boy"
advised the friend. "A job like yours
isn't picked up every day. To make it
easier for you I would suggest your
getting an amanuensis."
"Oh, thunder! What's the use?" ex-
claimed the great editor wearily. I've

How They Got out.-Uncle Ephraim
had two hogs which he kept in pen at
the rear end Of his little lot. They were
of the "razorback" variety, and al
though they were fed bountifully with
kitchen waste, 1t seemed impossible to
put any fat on their attenuated frames.
One morning when ne went out to feed
them they were not there. They had
disappeared, leaving no clue to the
manner in which they had made their
escape.
Whats the matter. Uncle Eph?' in
quired a neighbor, noticing the deep
detection with which the old man was
looking down into the empty pen.
My hawgs is done gone, sah," he
answered.
"Stolen?"
mo, sab, I don't see no signs dat
anybody tuck 'em."
Did they climb out over the top?"
mo, dey couldn't "a done dat"
How do you think they got away?'
We'll, sah,' said Uncle Ephraim,
my 'pinion is dat dem hawgs kind o
raised deirselves up on aidge an crope
through crack"

do we know the nature Of heat, light
and electricity. We are only animals.
We are coming out of the dog stage
and getting a glimpse Of our environ
ment. We don't know-we just sus-
pect a few things. Our practice of
shooting one another in war Is proof
that we are animals. The makeup
of our society is hideous.
Communication with other worlds
has been suggested. I think we had
better stick to this world and find
out something about it before we call
up our neighbors. They might make
us ashamed of ourselves. Not indi-
vidualism but social labor will
dominate the future. Industry will
constantly become more social and
interdependent. There will be no
manual labor in the factories of the
future. The men in them will be
merely superintendent, watching the
machinery to see that it works right.
Less and less man will be used as an
engine or as horse, and his brain
will be employed to benefit himself
and his fellows"
Regarding the possibility OF using
radium as a fuel, Mr.. Edison says
that is only speculative.
"Radium has great power" he
adds. 1T has no appreciable' limit
or end. It is not combustible. A
carload Of radium would have as
much energy as all the millions Of
tons of coal mined in the United
States in q year. have spin
thariscope, which contains a tiny bit
of radium of a size that Will go
through the eye of a needle. 1t has
been shooting off millions of sparks
for six years that I have had it, and
l expect it will be shooting sparks
the same way for thousands of years
Some day we might find immense de-
posits OF it, and then it will be a
problem how to handle 1t without
dangerous consequences"
