Instead Of $4,000 Skins Annually Yield
In 6ehring Sea Does Not Exceed
More Than 1000.

st. Petersburg accepting the
American proposal to hold seal fish
cry conference in Washington. the
Russian government appears to be ami
mated by somewhat belated desire to
repair the mistake committed at the
Behring sea conference in not indoors
ing the 60.mile limit The result has
been that the seal rookeries in the
Commander islands are rapidly becom-
ing exhausted.
These fisheries are leased to Rus
sian company under a contract which
expires this year. The substance of
the report drawn UP by the official sent
by the government IL report upon the
condition of the rookerics ID as fol
lows:
Whereas. formerly 10000 TO $4,000
skins were obtained annually, the pres
ent yield does not exceed 1000. Even
this number is attained only by the
slaughter of fair proportion of young
females. This procedure is necessary,
since the killing off of the males is
already leading to decline in the
number OF brood seals"

dren Afflicted With Tuberculo-
sis Since January, 1907.

New York.-since January 1. 1907,
65 open air schools for children af'
flicted with or predisposed to tubercu'
losis have been established in % cit.
les, according to an announcement
made in a bulletin issued recently by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the
United States was established in jan
uary 1, 1907, by the board of education
of Providence, r. l., at the instance OF
DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established In May " the same
year at Pittsburg, third one at Bos-
ton in July, 1908 and the fourth at
Bellevue hospital in New York in De-
cember. 1908. During the year 1909
ten schools in FIVE different cities were
opened; In 1910, 16 schools in 10 cit
les were opened; and eight schools in
Ave cities have been opened to April
1. 1911, while definite provision has
been made for q more schools In six
cities. Many cities are considering
the question and will act during the
coming year.
New York city now has in operation
IL open air schools and classes, and
definite provision has been made for
Ia similar classes to be opened by
next fall. Boston has five open air
classes IN its schools, and Chicago also
