SEAL HUNTING.
GsklmO Methods in Dealing w.t.
the Wary Creatures.

NSAAAAO
the Wary Creatures.
Writing of far northern hunting
methods, Harry Whitney thus de-
scribes in Outing how Eskimos kill the
wary seal:
Many seals were seen on the fresh
made ice, and Eiseeyou, my head man,
expressed desire that take. charge
OF his dog team while he stalked some
OF them. Seals are extremely shy, and
great caution must be practiced In ap-
preaching them. The Eskimos use
blind dn the form of a miniature
sledge, about eighteen inches in length
by six in width, with bearskins tackled
on the runners. Fore and aft are two
upright crotched sticks, upon which
the rifle rests and to which 1t is dashed.
On the front OF the sledge a cross
bar sustains two long perpendicular
sticks, over which a piece of white
cloth Is stretched, or when that Is not
attainable hareskin Is substituted.
Through a hole in this cloth screen
the muzzle of the rifle protrudes.
Holding his blind before him, he
was enabled to walk within 800 or 400
yards Of seal without startling 1t.
Then he dropped on his hands and
knees and pushed the little sledge be-
fore him. Thus hidden behind the
cloth screen, which so blended with
the Ice as to arouse in the seal no sus-
picion Of danger, he approached with
in fifty yards before shooting. Seals
always lie close to their holes, and 1t
Is necessary to hit them in the head
or under the shoulder and have the
bullet penetrate the heart and kill
them instantly; otherwise they will
hop into the hole and sink before 1t Is
possible to reach them"

APPENDICITIS AND GOVT
N VOGUE 5000 YEARS AGO.

If the world was created 5000 years
ago and the story of the expulsion
from Eden is not myth, cont1rma-
tory evidence of that fact will be
found by old-line Bible people in some
Of the things recently unearthed in
Nubia. From very recent research 1t
has been established that disease en-
tered the world in the form of govt
and tuberculosis not less than 5000
years ago-either entered it at that
time or had been there for an indeter-
minable time previously.
Nearly sixty centuries have rolled
away since the Nubians lived in the
Valley of the Nile and were victims Of
the intestinal concretions which seem

time which merges into the vanishing

were found evidences of a civilization
from a date preceding the earliest
known dynasties of Egyptian kings
down to the Byzantine age. These peo-
pie seem to have lived undisturbed in
the possession of their fertile fields
and their well-built towns, probably
under the protection of the kings of
Egypt. In fact, a careful examination
of their heads and faces showed that
they were in reality Egyptians them.

yet progressed sufficiently far in the
metallic arts-in the period previous
to say 1900 B. C.-to use that metal
for instruments. The only utility they
could find for copper was its use as
ornaments for the person. For this
purpose it was manufactured and sold

PINCKARD RESENTS
 ANY MORE LEAGUES
SAYS IF MODEL LICENSE LEAGUE IS TO COME HERE HE HOPES TO SEE IT KICKED OUT OF THE STATE

"If there is any truth in the report that the American Model License league is seeking to enter Alabama with It's representatives" said W. P. Pinckard yesterday, "I am willing to be one to lead a posse to hang every one of them to sour apple tree.
 "As an Alabamian who wants to see this states problems settled in calm judg- ment, to the best interest of all the cit izens, I resent any suggestion of such n thing as the liquor interests attempting to enter here with any of their leagues We have had enough of the Anti-Saloon league.
 "As I see it. we in Alabama are able to attend to our own business, and, if let alone we will settle this problem which is lowering over us. We need no li- cense league to arouse prejudice and ha- tired again. We've had enough of that, and now that our factions are beginning to unite in Q common cause to settle the liquor question, the entrance of these representatives Is ridiculous-an encroach- ment to which do not believe any com- munity will consent In fact, I think everyone of them who dares to locate in Alabama should be kicked out bodily"

ROADS GETTING IN
 MUCH BETTER SHAPE
TERIALS FROM MINES WHICH TENNESSEE OFFICIALS THINK WILL MAKE GOOD ROADS

The roads of Jefferson county are fast rounding into good condition. Ed Haig- Ter. a member of the Board of Revenue. in discussing the roads last night, said that the board is working to produce a fine set of new roads and that when the present work is completed Jefferson county will possess some ideal roadways Mir Haigler said the newly authorized roads will be constructed along the most modern and approved plans.
 In this connection 1t is generally under stood that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will insist in getting better roads in the county. E. H. Coxe, general superintendent of coal mines for that company, accompanied by Job Co., ing, president of the Board of Reve- nue. and Dr. R. F. Lovelady, went yes- terday to inspect some new material that 1t is said the Tennessee company officials believe will help solve the con- struction problem.
 It was not given out by the officers what the material is, but 1t is under stood that a substance taken from the mines will be experimented with in an effort to substitute the refuse for chert. The new material is said to have a re- tentive value far superior to macadam or chert and that this will be used on some roads bordering the company prop critics.

MOVING PICTURES
 HERE ON MONDAY

The city fathers of Birmingham are not ready to begin metropolitan habits when it comes to moving pictures on Sunday. In the report of the judiciary committed, which was adopted Wednes- day night, was hidden this clause: That the petition to operate moving pictures on Sunday be disallowed." and 1t was adopted without opposition.
 The petition of the moving picture peo- pie was prepared by w. P. McCrossin and provided that the pictures be shown from to Ii p. ri1.; that the pictures be censored by a committee appointed by the Mayor, and that no vaudeville be allowed
 MT. McCrossin has proof that such cities as Mobile. Houston, New Orleans and Memphis, in the south, allow moving pie lures on Sunday under such regulations. However. the council did not think the people ready for 1t.

D'ARMOND ESCAPES
 FROM COUNTY JAIL

Up until a late hour last night the DeArmond, the dope" victim who broke jail some time yesterday moru- ing. It is believed that DeArmond will be captured within a few days, as he is supposed to be partly insane. De- Armond has been showing the jail keepers a high life for the last few days as at two separate times short ly before he made his escape last night he attempted suicide.
 DeArmond's escape was not discov- cred until 8 o'clock yesterday morning midnight. A man passing the jail heard some glass rattle on the pavement on the Fourth avenue side at about that hour.
 DeArmond attempted suicide two weeks ago by cutting himself with a piece of broken glass, which he se- cured by breaking a drinking glass He cut tho artery in his wrist and almost bled to death.
 About a week later he tore the bandage off his injured wrist and at tempted to hang himself with 1t. He was found in the nick of time by the Inside wardens of the jail as he was hanging suspended in the air from the top of his cell.
 Night Warden Griffin allowed DeAr- mond to go into the jailyard Wednes- day night while a horse was being brought in and unhitched. The war dens apparently forgot about the pres ence of DeArmond and went away and left him. He is believed to have con- cealed himself about the yard some. where until some time Thursday morn ing, when he sealed the jail wall and dropped down into Fourth avenue. The jail wall Is some 20 feet high and is covered on top with broken glass set in concrete. How the prisoner scaled the wall is mystery.

The proposal of the City Council to vote a salary of $500 for the aldermen and 5000 for president of the City Coun- cil. was the subject of general discus sion on the streets yesterday.
 One facetious lawyer advanced the ar gument that should the action be taken the present aldermen could never draw salaries, as the municipal code provides that it shall be unlawful to increase or decrease the salary of any official during his term of office.
 This caused a panic among the alder men, who immediately began to plan some means by which the "hold over" alder men could force the newly elected fellows to "whack up,' but one found a remedy

Murray Brown

a :
 Murray Brown of Gooda1l. Brown & Co.,, said, in speaking of the plan as an- nounced:
 Tt Is not at all surprising that defects should be found in the offer of the rail- roads. cannot conceive of any railroad offering a city set of plans which would be sent back with the statement that they were too liberal. The railroads have not been placed where the city may say: Here, you are doing too much. Take some of this back. We will help just a little.'
 Therefore the wrangle was to be ex- pected. The city of Birmingham is deal ing with bunch of men who have been building bridges and viaducts for years and years. Some of them can even con- struct one without a waste of many hours. These men know exactly what will be accepted and what will be stricken out. Therefore, when the city sends the plan back once or twice or maybe three times, it will be accepted in the modified form and work will begin.'
