Mathew Island. 800 miles away is the

home of the Alaskan fur seal, situated
of commerce. and perhaps their home
thousands of years before man came
upon earth.
There are five small islands in the
Pribilof group-St. Paul. ST George OF
ter, Walrus and Sivutch Rock. The first
two are the principal islands. and are
where the rookeries are located. Here
on the rocky beaches of ST. Paul and
ST. George islands the fur seal have their
breeding grounds. At certain points on
the islands are also sea lion rookeries.
and many of these animals may be seen
lying about among the fur seals. A

merly sea offers and walruses We're not
uncommon. but they are now practically
extinct. The blue fox is common to both
islands, and mingled with them are d
limited number of white ones.
The fur seal rookeries or breeding
grounds are about the last place in the
world any one would think suitable for
the purpose. Wherever there is a rocky
beach of some breadth or a sloping rocky
hill the fur seals have located their
breeding grounds. or ''rookeries," as they
are called. On these beaches their gre
garious habits cause the animals to
crowd together in close-set masses The
limits of the rookeries are defined by
abrupt cliffs or headlands. which cut off
the beaches. by inaccessible cliffs that
rise in the rear and by intervening sand
beaches. They seldom extend far back
from the under any conditions, as &C
cess to the water Is an essential feature.
There are bachelors even among the
seals. An interesting period in the life
of the young male seal is the time when
he is forced to join the bachelor herd
while the older seals assume control of
the beach. This is accomplished peace
fully if possible. but if not successful by
that means. then the older or bull seals
use force and throw the bachelor seals
out bodily.
At each breeding ground are what
are known as the hauling grounds"
of the bachelors frequented by the
young males of five years and under,
these classes being strictly excluded
from the breeding grounds. These
hauling grounds are usually located on

The smell of blood, particularly of that
of their own species. inspires fear or
anger in most animals since they asso-
cfate its presence with danger to them
selves or others. but with the fur seals
1t seems TO do neither So long as the

The seal is not intelligent enough to
be superstitious like the dog or horse
the source of his fear must be real and
tangible, and he never imagines an enemy
in stick or stone or other motionless oh
1ect, unless it stands up above the sky
line and suggests a man. The only pos
slble exception to this is when he is wax
ened from sound sleep, when, like other
unreasoning creatures his first idea is to
run. On such occasions a veritable STAN
pede may occur if a number of seals are
together, for this scuffiing of one rouses
the others. and each urges his neighbor
on to fly.

grounds above and in the rear of the
breeding grounds proper. In most
cases the bachelors are forced to go
around the end of the breeding
grounds to reach their locations in the
rear. but in some cases neutral strips
or runways are left through the breed
ing grounds through which the bache-
lors haul ont unmolested. Not infre-
quently the bachelors seek to use run
ways which are not recognized as
neutral. when they are summarily
thrown out by the older bulls. This
leads to fighting and the consequent
destruction of females and young ones
Sometimes there is buffer of idle or
reserve bulls between the breeding
grounds and the bachelors quarters.
which serves to keep the bachelors a
safe distance. The young males have
wholesome fear of the bulls. which
experience seems to amply justify.
The habits of the fur seal are strong
ly fixed. Much has been said at the
Paris tribunal and elsewhere regard
ing the danger of driving the seals
from their haunts on the Pribilof Is
lands to seek other shores, as the re-
suit of the interference of man, but all
authorities seem to be unanimous in
the opinion there Is no such possibili-
ty. The life processes of the fur seal
are as perfect as clockwork. but its
grade of intelligence is low. It's range
of choice in action is very light. 1t is
a wonderful automaton. The mechanical
functions of life of the fur seal
are performed to perfection, but it is
seldom guilty of an act requiring rea-
son.
A fur seal will do what his ancestors
have done to perfection If he is led to
do anything else he is dazed and stupid
Experiments were conducted by the gov
eminent to prove this. For instance, d
herd was sent through wooden chute
in an effort to separate the young from
the old and the males from the females

would beat their noses against door

Physical CharacteristIcs.

The northern half of the country is
called Tripoli and the southern Fezzan.
Including Barea. the Mutessarriglik of
Bengal, it has an area Of about 10000
square miles and a population of about
10000 persons. The interior of the
country is a high sandy plateau with
fertile spots along the wadis or some
time water courses. The country is ex-
posed to the sandstorms from the desert
and the coasts are low and sandy except
on the northeast, where some of the
mountains have an altitude of nearly
ZOO feet.
rripoli has no permanent rivers, but
there are many springs and the dry
water courses fill up during the rainy
season. The climate is hot in summer,
although il has more of Mediterranean
than an African character and during the
winter snow occasionally lies on the
mountains near the coast, while there
are heavy rains in the interior. The chief
exports are wool, oil and cattle, although
gold, ostrich feathers, ivory and rubber
pass through the country from the hin
terland over caravan routes which have
made Tripoli an important outlet for the
products of the interior.
