ESKIMO SEALERS.
A Battle of Alertness Between the
Hunter and His Prev

A Battle of AIertness Between tho
Hunter and His Prey.
The Eskimo method of hunting seals
shows a primitive calling improved to
a fine art. When a seal is discovered
the direction of the wind is at once
noted. Then the hunter, keeping
himself to the leeward of the seal,
walks up to within about quarter Of
mile of 1t. Beyond this he begins to
crouch and advances only when the
seals head is down.
Now, as the seal is one Of the most
wideawake of animals and has the
habit of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows that the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert If he would get
his seal. When the seals head is
down upon the Ice its eyes are shut,
and 1t Is said that In these brief inter-
walls 1t takes its sleep.
The hunter by carefully watching
the seals movements Is able without
much difficulty to get within about 200
yards of 1t, but at closer quarters he
Is obliged to employ other tactics. He
Hes down at full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head is down the
hunter, who keeps keen eye on his
prey. is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his
elbows. This maneuvering continues
for some time until the distance be-
tween man and beast has been re-
duced to a few yards.
When near enough to make sure
shot the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends swift
shaft through the head of his ourwit-
ted companion. Sometimes instead OF
the bow and arrow harpoon is used
with equal effect Harper's Weekly.

A Problem For Inventors.

Among the interesting problems for
Inventors is that Of producing an cleo
trio light which can be turned up or
down as freely as gas Jet or kero-
sene light. Various devices have been
employed for this purpose. such as in
serting resistance to cut off half the
current or using lamp with long
filament run in series with short
filament. but while reduction of the
light is thus attained at will the oper-
alton of the lamp is not economical.
because the best efficiency is only OBJ
tained by running a filament at high
temperature.
