The new Call made its appearance
as an evening paper in the San Fran
cisco field, and It gives evidence of
being edited with ability. It is

the word. and It will be welcome
relief for the normal reader who has
had surfeit of maudrn sentimental

the contemporaries of The Call who
are worrying about its ownership it
might not be out of place TO remind
them that the people nowadays are
more interested in the contents of a
newspaper than they are in Its own

gauge evening newspaper in San
Francisco. and The Call starts out
with every indication of occupying

without violating the protective
boundaries, the largest catch on
record. Then it was found that
the seals were limited by no
such narrow bounds of oceanic
wandering as had been ascribed
to them, but that they might be
encountered in abundance almost
anywhere north of California
and Japan! So now, by IS
year convention, pelagic sealing
is prohibited anywhere in the
northern Pacific, Japan joining
in the agreement with Great
Britain and the United States.

Then from the depths, in bitterness she cried
Hell is EARTH and heaven is but dream;
And human life troubled aimess stream
And God is nowhere Would God so deride
A loving creatures faith?" A voice replied,
The stream flows onward to the Source Supreme;
Where things that ARE replace the things that SEEN
And where the deeds of all past lives abide
Once at thy door, Love anguished and was spurned
Who sorrow plants, must garner sorrows sheaf.
No prayers change the seeding in the sod
By thine own heart, Loves anguish must be learned
Pass on, and know, made wise by grief
That in thysclf dwels heaven and hell and God"

The San Francisco Call appears
now as an afternoon paper. and a
mighty good one at that The Call
has many friends who welcome it in
its new form. For many years the
old Call was q welcome and constant
visitor in thousands of homes and Its
disappearance would be generally re-
gretted. Newspapers-the right kind
become in time to be considered al
most as one of the family. and when
one which has reached a standing
attained by The Call is dropped from
the list vacancy is created which is
truly noticeable. May good luck
and fortune follow The Evening Call.

By GARRETT p. SERVISS

~ UDYARD KIPLING, in
X one of his poems, has
= referred to the mystery
of the periodical disappearance
of the seals from their breeding
grounds, where the hunters cut
them down. His imagination
appears TO have been deeply
stirred by the strange instincts
of these animals, which know
the. hidden ways of the sea, and
travel where man can not fol-
low, with a surencss of course
and an unerring divination of
obstacle and danger which, if
possessed by human pilots,
would make the navigation of
the ocean as simple as walking
across room. And, indeed, it
is a poetic mystery.
Without chart or compass
they voyage thousands of miles
and never go astray. They live
in the sunlight and walk on the
land during months of every
year, and yet, when the time
comes, they plunge into the sea,
disappear at will in its dark pro-
fundities, seek and find their
winter homes thousands of miles
away, feed upon the fish and
squids in the depths of the tenn
perate or tropical ocean, and,
with the return of the northern
spring, take their way once
more TO the borders of the
arctic ice.
These statements apply espe-
cially to the fur seals of Alaska.
The less valuable "hair seals"
are widely different species, al
though, they, too, have their
strange annual migrations.
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-12
Fur Seals, Anatomically
Allied to the Bears,
Initiate Them

What adds to the mystery of
the fur seals is the fact that,
unlike the others, they are, ana
tomically, allied to the bears,
whose behavior they strikingly
initiate when on land. For this
reason they were originally
called "sea bears" Thus they
come into a certain relationship
with land carnivores, or flesh
eating animals of the land,
which, though they may swim,
can not live under water.
Practically at least half the
life of these seals is passed be-
yound our ken. They come up
into our world, like plants
sprouting out of the ground,
when their season is due, re-
create their kind on rocky
beaches or hill slopes, remain
until their land born progeny
has learned the secrets of the
water world and then go their
unhesitating way down in the
darl<ncssas of the sea.
The family life Of these ami
mails is as strange as their mi
grations. In the month of May,
as the sun begins to melt the
ice foes in the Bering sea
around the Pribilof islands, the
black heads of the bull" seals
may be seen emerging from the
water. They are seeking the
breeding places for the cows"
which will come later. They
have voyaged thousands of miles
with no north star, but only their
inborn instinct, to guide them.

their other life in the sea.
An indication of how little has
been known, until very recently,
of that other life of the seals is
afforded by this singular fact.
When the United States and
Great Britain combined their
wisdom in an effort to protect
the precious herds from utter
extinction, about 1898, a pro
tected limit was drawn about
the islands, with a radius Of 90
miles from shore, within which
it was forbidden to kill seals
found in the water.
