land is in itself no small accomplishment for
air-breathing animals. The females, leaving
the islands in November, go further south
than any other members of the berd, and In
December appear off southern California,
where they remain until March. They then
begin their long return journey, reaching the
islands early in June.
Within two days of their arrival on the rock
cries the cows give birth to their pups. Not
until ten or twelve days have elapsed do they
return to the water or take any food. Then,
after washing and playing near the islands,
they make their first long trip to the feeding
grounds, coming back to the rookeries after
three or four days. Thereafter throughout
the season the cows make regular feeding
trips at intervals of FIVE to ten days.
The seals subsist chiefly on squid, but also
on herring, smelt, salmon, pollock, and other
kinds Of fish, which are caught and eaten in
the water. They have prodigious a%ppetites
and gorge themselves whenever the opportu-
nifty comes.
On the approach Of cold weather, the cows
and pups leave the islands together. Up to
that time the pups have subsisted solely on
milk. and they then have to learn to catch
their own food, consisting of fish and squid.4
Inasmuch as the natural mortality among the
pups in their first year is fully SO per cent, 1t
Is evident that they experience many vicissi-
tudes in the tempestous seas to which they
commit themselves. The males follow shortly
after, but some remain about the islands
throughout the winter in mild seasons, and
the natives always depend on sealB for food in
December and January.
Fur seals and hair seals have always been
regarded as legitimate objects of exploitation,
and all governments having real or assumed
property rights in herds of seals have sane
toned their killing, under restriction, for fur,
leather, oil, food, etc.
Beginning in 1856 and confusing until the
sale of Alaska, Russians were almost contln-
uously engaged in killing fur seals on the
Pribilof Islands. In the earlier years there was
a promiscuous scramble among rival compa-
mics, SO that to maintain order and properly
regulate the taking of seals the government
was forced in 1893 to give the privilege to a
single company, created by imperial decree
and having among its shareholders members
of the imperial family and the nobility. This
association, known as the Russian-Amee team
company, enjoyed a monopoly Of this business
as long as Russia had control of Alaska. An
ukase issued by Alexander | In 1921 for the
regulation of the company had as one OF Its
features the prohibition OF foreign vessels
within 100 miles Of the Russian coasts and

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS James
M. Curley of Massachusetts has intro
duced a joint resolution into the house
providing that Section n Of Article
two of the Constitution Of the United
States shall be amended so as 10
read, HE shall hold his Office during
the term Of six years and, together
with the v~ice-president chosen for the
same term shall be eligible to serve
not than one term"
This resolution of MI. Curley's re-
fers, of course, to a change in the con-
stitution which will extend the time
Of the term of the president to six
years and makes him ineligible for
reelection at any time. There Is a
good deal Of feeling in congress
among both Republicans and Demo
Gratis in favor of this constitutional
change. Speaker Champ Clark has
gone on record In favor of this
change and 1t is said also that Presi'
dent Taft thinks that 1t would be ad'
visable.
1t has been humorously suggested
in Washington that the president
would like to make the change In the
Constitution retroactive and to have
the term fixed at seven years, virtual
ly the precise time which Theodore
Roosevelt held the highest office IN
the land.
