Hunting the Wary Seal.

Y. Stefanssop in Harper's Magazine.
At this season of the year the seals
were lying on top of the ice basking in
the warm sun. You see them here and
there like small. back dots sprinkled
over the vast whiteness of the ocean
Each is lying beside hole through which
he has all winter been getting his supply
of fresh air. which. he has kept open all

he has now enlarged from the two inches
that were necessary to give air space to
his nostrils in winter to perhaps foot
and half in diameter. that he can
haul himself on top of the ice. He is
lying on a slippery incline beside his hole.
and the least twitch of his body will slide
him into the water. He must, therefore.
be approached and killed before he has
suspicion of danger. and he must be
killed instantly. for the culver of a flip
per would be almost as effective as the
most energetic movement in sliding his
body into the water.
Some arctic explorers of experience
have said that a white man may learn
to kill caribou as we'll as an Eskimo. but
no white man can ever learn to hunt the
seals that bask on the level sea ice. In
my experience this is so far from being
true that I find hunting seals while it
may be disagreeable job. to be an ex-
ceedingly simple one. The whole secret
Is that you must play seal. 1t is hope
less to attempt approaching unseen. so
your care must be that whenever he sees
You he shall think YOU. too, are seal.
Your manner of locomotion must there

slightly from that of snake. In other
words it Is an unpleasant bit of work to
crawl three hundred yards seal fashion

puddles Of water anywhere from two to
ten or fifteen inches deep.
The nature of the animal is that he
sleeps for thirty. forty, fifty. or even
seventy-five seconds at time with his
head lying fiat on the ice. Then he wakes
up and stays awake from five to fifteen
seconds. raises his head about twelve or
fifteen inches above the level of the ice
and surveys a complete circle of the
horizon. then drops his head on the ice
and goes to sleep again. The eyesight of
the seals seems even less keen than that

r
Chelsea. which is again to steal from

two centuries before had ruined half OF

to prove as disastrous as the South sea

on English soil was reared in the garden
of Mr. Davis in 1922. Even then Chel-
sea could be pictured thus:

Danger of Insect Invasion.

From the San Francisco Call.
The triviality of an accident by which
this state escaped the consequences Of
Mediterranean fly invasion should serve
to arouse every Californian to an ever
present danger A Los Angeles man re-
turning from Honolulu a few days ago
brought with him five seeds of hypocrite
tree. He intended to plant them in
southern California. Thanks to the fact
that his children utilized them for toys
on shipboard. the seeds were not packed
in his baggage. He carried them ashore
in his hand. A vfgilant customs officer
spied them. They were tested and found
to be. infested with the Mediterranean
fly. That accident meant the saving OF
millions of dollars to the people of Cali
fornia. The planting of those seeds, in
nocent enough as to their externals.
would have spelled ruin for the fruit in
dustry of this state. 1t would have in
volved a calamity In comparison with
which the recent frost loss in southern
California would have been hopelessly
insignificant.
The discovery of the Mediterranean fly
in any California district would be fol-
lowed instantly by an ironclad Quaran-
tine. That quarantine would be put upon
every fruit district in the state 1t could
not be avoided. 1t would involve the loss
Of hundreds of millions of dollars and
the ruin of hundreds of fruit growers.
Out OF the incident may grow de-
mand for additional and stricter regu-
lations. The packing with baggage of
seeds or fruits grown In infested dis
tricts or countries should be prohibited
and severely penalized. Similar penalties
should be provided for failure to subject
such seeds or fruits to official inspection
Immediately upon arrival at any Ameri-
can port.
Such regulations could work no hard
ship on any one. They could not fail
to work to the benefit of the whole coun-
try since no state is insured against the
importation Of such seeds or fruits by
some of it's thoughtless citizens.

Health Precautions.

winter wore five or six coats when out

ever. took even stronger precautions
against illness. II there was a touch of
cold in the air he had fires lit in his
grounds before venturins to stroll in
them. His waistcoats were made In two
separate pieces. Joined at the sides by
buttons. so that he could take them of
or put additional ones on without reTnov-
ing his coat. IF caught in a shower he
sheltered himself with an umbrella nearly
two feet wide. which came down below
his waist and was pierced with little
windows. In very hot weather the prince
wore boots coated with tin, az pro-
lection against mad dogs. and carried
sponges soaked with vinegar in his shirt
front to ward off unpleasant smells.
