land is in itself no small accomplishment for
airbreath1ng 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, smet, salmon, pollock, and other
kinds of fish, which are caught and eaten in
the water. They have prodigious appetites
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 ana squld
Tnasmuch as the natural mortality among the
pups in their first year Is fully so per cent. II
is evident that they experience many vicfssi'

Beginning in 1885 and continuing until the

promiscuous scramble among rival compa

regulate the taking of seals the government

LONDON's LORD MAYOR
EASILY HIGHEST PAID MAGis-
TRATE IN THE WORLD.
Head of Worlds Greatest City, He
Performs the Duties of Simple
Justice Of the Peace in His
Official Mansion.

81 r
No more violent contrast is to be
found the world over than that exist
ing between the various duties OF the
lord mayor Of London. theoretically,
at least. the king of Great Britain and
Ireland and emperor Of India cannot
enter the city of London without his
consent; yet he spends the best part
of his mornings dispensing Solomon
like Justice upon drunks who have
broken the peace of the square mile
of territory over which he rules.
OF course, the mayor Of an Ameri-
can city Is it's chief magistrate, but ne
seldom il ever is called upon tc waste
his valuable time over such humble
duties. In London, the greatest city
in the world, the lord mayor, unless
called away on other duties, is to be
found every morning after Il o'clock
in the little justice room Of the great
Mansion House, his official residence,
dealing with the astonishingly small
batch of lawbreakers taken in the
net Of the great police system that
makes the city of London proper the
safest and most lawabiding stretch OF
territory to be found in any large city
in the world.
The city Is only a square mile Ia
extent, the greater part of it being oc-
cupied by the great business houses
that control the finances Of the world
There is located the famous Bank OF
England, for instance, behind whose
eight-foot walls repose at all times
reserve fund Of s100,000,O00 in gold.
Twenty-eight soldiers guard the treas
| ure from within, but from without 1t IS
even better looked after. Scattered
about the square mile of London, as
thick as flies about honey pot, are
1900 bluecoated policemen. After
eight or nine o'clock at night the
silence of the streets in that part OF
Greater London is seldom broken ex-
cept by the slow tread Of the guard
/ ians Of the law Foolhardy, indeed
would be the burglar who attempted
to ply his trade in this Well-guarded
area
1t is uOL StIdu5C, GASAA, eAAS.s
ais give the city wide berth and the
majority of those who find themselves
in the dock facing the lord mayor OF
London are men and women who have
drunk mot wisely but too well" The
present lord mayor is teetotaler, bu1
/ he is possessed Of a delightful broad
mindness that views with sorrow rath

can figure out that he is the hlgnes

This phase OF agriculture has lost
both poetry and good-fellowship OF re-
cent years. Gone is the singing swish
OF the hand mower in the tall grass.
The toneless complaint OF the moving
machine never has the musical key
note OF the timber scythe iron.
Moreover. there was a Homeric
competition among individual hand
mowers that was an Olympian event
in the country side. As the mowers
whetted their scythes. apparently alb
sorbed merely by qe promptings Of
industry. really the athletic motive TO
out-wind a neighbor was tho grim mo-
tive OF their hearts. Successfully &C.
complished. & was the talk OF the gro
Gerry stores for weeks
The gradual introduction OF alien la
bcrers as farm hands has taken The
color out Of field work on many farms.
The American farm hand never lost
himself wholly in the pay envelope.
Neighborhood rivalries and rural
waggery filled the hay fields. while
young and old we're cheered by long
drafts Of ginger water. not 70 mention

The experiments and daring achieve
