VALUABLE FURS FROM
 FAR AWAY PLACES

It is not generally known that er- mine has been the. emblem of royalty almost since royalty began. In Rus sia. until very recently. it's use was for bidden to those not of royal biIth. As writer in Everybody's Magazine points out, ermine is nothing llore than the weasel or common stoat in its northern coat, for, like other arctic and white in winter in order that it may be as inconspicuous as possible in it's en- vironment of ice and snow Yet SO ab- normally keen of sight are the Can adian and Siberian trappcrs that they can distinguish at almost incredible distances the little black tip of the er- mines tail as it whszs across the dazzling plains.
 It Is very shy, is the erminc, and spe- cial snares must be devised by the trapper to avoid injuring the delicate skin. Even the smallest of the steel traps are too heavy for such tiny ami mals as these, and here it k that the trapper's fertility of resource is most strikingly displayed Smearing a little grease on his hunting knife. he lays il across the succession of dots and ashes that show him that an ermine has passed that way. Along comes the tiny white form on it's cratic course again The grease appeals to it. and it begins to lick the knife blade. and it's tiny tongue is instantly frozen to the steel as though with glue The knife being too heavy for the little ani- mal to carry off it can only wait until the trappcr comes upon his rounds and thus the fashionable lady has a huff of snowy unmarrcd skins
 So difficult to obtain has sea otter become that Russian sable. long a synonym for all that is expensive and luxurious. is now almost plebian i'm comparison, and in all the long list of furs none is so redolent of romance When the survivors of Vitis Bcrinr's ill-fated expedition to Siberian shores with a new fur that was neither beaver nor otter. but larger than either and of a finer sheen than sable. and sold the pelts to Chinese merchants for 500 rubles each. the effect was as startling as the discovery of a gold mine. The new fur was sea otter. as peculiar to| the Pacific as the seal. and destined to lead Russian Cossack and Siberian ad- venturers in a wild stampede to the Aleutians.

The slaughter of the sea otter has become SD indiscriminatc and reIent- less that the annual catch has dwin- dlcd from l50.O00 tn scarce 100 skins a year So great is the demand among Russian nuhlcs and Chinese, mandarns for this rare fur, so fabulous are the prices they are willing to pay. that scarce fourscorc skins reach the United States each year. In the days when the sea otter were plentiful they could be shot by still hunting in calm weather, as they showed their heads above the surface of the sea to brea he. but today they must be hunted in the widest Alaskan gale Waiting until the violence of the storm has driven the animal to seek refuge among the rocks. the Aleutian hunter. plying his double-bladed paddle from where he sits in the manhole of his fragile. skin covered kayak, rides at express train speed on the crest of the scething
 
 where the otters hide from their pur- suers with their heads buried in the tossing wave washed seaweed Beach, ing his skiff. the hunter darts from rock to rock. slipping on the ice. beaten by the wind. in constant danger of being caught by the waves and hurried to death. until with a blow of his gaff pole. he has won out of the tempest the material of that marvellous opera cloak. which will deck the shoulders of some millonairc's wife.
 There is no denying that the seal. the sea otter. and indeed, several other of the native fur bearing animals of the United States and Canada. promise to- disappear as completely as the buffalo. No country was ever blessed with an animal of value for such manifold purposes as the buffalo, and no coun- try was ever so crmnally negligent in permitting the extinction of a species Today all that is left of those once vast herds beneath whose hoofs the earth trembled day and night is a few score head of mangy bison care fully tended in geological gardens and national parks.
 Twenty years ago no Western man was so poor that he could not afford a buffalo coat: today those coats are so rare that a perfect one would bring it's weight in silver An order for set of perfect buffalo robes is one at which the greatest of the worlds furricrs would have to halk
