Shooting the Seal.

Seals are caught in variety of ways,
but they are very shy creatures and the
greatest caution must be exercised in
approaching them. Even when they
have been struck by harpoon or rife
bullet the blow must be fatal and death
instantaneous, or the animal will drop
into its hole in the ice and be seen no
more. Indeed, the fact that seal sell
dom moves far from its hole adds con-
siderably to the hunters difficulties.
Tie plan usually adopted by Eskimo
hunters is to build up kind Of tent
sledge. The sides and front are mask
ed with bearskin, the top with the pelt
of hare. The native hides within this
novel tent and inch by inch propels
himself over the ice till he is near his
quarry The rife with which he slays
his seal is brought into use through q
loophole in the sledge covering.

e !auin's Three Treasures.

There are always three things up
permost in the Bedouin's mind-his
gun, his horse and his wives The
most modern arms Of precision have
replaced the primitive spear which,
until few years ago, was the usual
weapon. The Bedouin is quick to real
ize the efficiency Of modern weapons
and soon becomes an expert marks
man. So much has the spear fallen
out Of favor that the bearer Of one
would be ridiculed in his own camp.
Such pride has the Bedouin in his
weapons that even in his leisure hours
he sits fully armed, examining and
cleaning each piece in turn, making
himself accustomed to carrying their
weight. No youth considers himself a
man until be has fully equipped him

generally only as an heirloom and as

The Giraffe as K Feds.

The singular shape OF the giraffe IS
adapted to its habits Of lie. 1t feeds
on the young branches and TOP shoots
of the trees. and its long fore legs and
neck enable it to browse at 4 far great
er height than any OTHER animal. says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. In feeding
it stretches up its neck and with its
long prehensile tongue, which it can
protrude to a surprising distance,
hooks down the tender shoots and
leaves into its mouth. But the crea-
ture's peculiar form, though enabling
it to feed on what it likes best, is
sometimes the cause Of its destruction.
The fore legs are SO long that to reach
the ground it has to stretch them wide
apart and bend down its neck in
semicircle, and while drinking in this
defenseless attitude the lion or leopard
springs upon it and overpowers it be-

Children and Books.

DR.. johnson held views far IN ad-
vance of his age on the subject OF chll-
dren's books. The child itself, he held,
was the best judge. 81 would put
child into a library (where no unit
hooks are) and let him read at bis
choice" he said. "a child should not
be discouraged from reading anything
he takes a liking to from a notion
that it is above his reach. If that be
the case the child will soon find it out
and desist. If not he, Of course, gains
tha instruction, which IS so much the
more likely to come from the 1ncllna-
ton with which he takes up tne
study"

Nest Of a Turtle.

The manner in which 4 turtle con-
structs her nest is both interesting
and suggestive, it being one OF the
most expeditions operations ever per
formed By that slow moving cre"-ura
After selecting a suitable spot she be-
gins digging out hole with her hind
legs by moving slowly in circle and
throwing the excarated sand In a rim
all around it When that IS about
eighteen inches in depth and twelve
in circumference she drops her eggs
into 1t, pulls the rim Of sand over
them and. rising on all four legs, lets
her body drop heavily on the covering
sand until she has made it as compact
as any part Of the surrounding oeach'
She then makes a few false demonstra-
tons on the shore to mislead mqnsl-
tive enemies and hastens to the sea as
fast as she can travel.

Animals Attack the Lunos.

Watch any flesh eating animal when
it is attacking its prey or wa:ch two
animals having fight to the death.
You will notice one remarkable fact,
and that is that they strike for the
lungs. Most people. of course, are
well aware where their own lungs are,
but they haven't the slightest idea
about any other lungs. Animals in
stinctively know. however, the posi-
ton Of the lungs Of almost every 9TH
er animal. When q tiger or G lion at
tacks (; man it does its best to get
just below the shoulder blades. If it
strikes without warning you will al,
ways find that its powerful paws have
torn right through to the lungs. a
cat has just the same instinct It
goes for the lungs-the vital spot
just the same as its bigger brothers.
Watch it stalk sparrow and you Will
see how cleverly it maneuvers so as
to get behind the unfortunate bird
and pounce on its back, where the
lungs are.-London Graphic.

Our Unknown World.

Despite the marvellous advance Of
exploration in various parts Of the
globe, an estimate as submitted by a
member of the Royal Geographical
society in London shows that no less
than 100000 square miles Of the
earth's surface yet remain unexplored.
The largest unexplored area is said to
&c that in Africa-6, ,5O0,0 900 miles-but
even North America contains 100000
square miles Of virgin territory. 1t is
surprising to learn that there are three
times as much land awaiting the foot

The Point OF the Cape of Good Hope.

The Point OF the Cape of Good Hope.
Cape point, which terminates the
mighty headland known as the Cape
Of Good Hope, consists Of q towering
promontory Of sandstone, which rises
from the sea to an altitude Of $40 feet.
At the base Of this stands big soli-
tary column which is known as Vasco
da Gama's pillar. The lighthouse
which here illuminates the meeting
place Of the Atlantic and Indian oceans
is one Of the most important and most
useful Of its kind. It is visible from
distance Of thnty-six miles. The cliff
scenery Is wild and sublime, the rocks
are magnificent, and the far reaching
sea. with the fierce surf beating or
the iron bound coast, is impressive.
In the water directly beneath the Cliff
sharks are abundant.
