Some Seal History.

The history of the seal Is one of
the most absorbing and romantic Of
all the great American industries.
While the U. s. Government has pro-
duced wonderfully interesting books
on the subject, and which can be
had free of charge, the whole coun-
try will be interested in a few facts
bearing on the seal history of North
America, especially in the lisht of
the recent action Of the Department
of Commerce, which stamps st. Louis
as the fur center of the world.
The price paid to Russia for the
whole Alaska was $7,OO0,OOO. The
revenue from the seal islands Gl-
one-rough, barren, forbidding spots
that comprise but an infinitesimal
area Of the Alaska map, has been
SIS. 900. .000-more than twice the sum
paid for the entire territory.
This area comprises the Pribilof
Islands discovreed in 17S6 by the Rus
sian Navigator whose name the is
lands bear. Ii Is the seat of the most
important fur seal colony in the
world. Next in Importance Is the
Commander herd owned by Russia,
while the Kuril herd owned by Japan
comes third. During the first year
of Uncle Sans possession, the catch
was about two hundred to 100000
seals. but the herd has diminished
SO considerably that as q result
laws have been enacted by which
herds will be conserved and future
catches increased.

San Diego, Cal, Nov. 24.-Lieut.
Hugh Marsh Kelly, of Kentucky, and
Eric l.. Ellington, of North Carolina,
First division army aviation corps
were killed today in a fall of about
eighty feet in an aeroplane.
The accident occurred across the
bay from San Dieso on the grounds
of the army school on North Island.
No reason for the accident was dis
covered. although a careful examina-
ton of the aeroplane was made. The
machine was shattered.
!. Capt. A. c. Cowan, commanding the
post. was among the eye-witnesses
of the accident. ~
"They were trying out a new six
cylinder machine he said, and
they were between eighty and one
hundred fest from the ground when
they lost control.
"The machine was a new one and
Kelly was not familiar with it. Ell
ington went as instructor. The ma
chine had a dual control, which en-
ables either occupant to MANAGE it
at will. The controls were connected
enabling the Instructor to correct in
stantly any mistake made by the pupil.
'The men arose at 1885 a. M. and
sailed around the field for about five
minutes. OF course they were maxi
ing no attempts at sensational work.
They fell about one mile from the
headquarters tent. toward Point
Iona. The land slopes down toward
the beach and Is 80 low that we
could not see the machine strike.
THE machine apparently began its
descent In a proper manner and at
the usual angle. Then II appeared out
Of control. The altitude was 30 low
We felt the officers would have only
q rough fall.
"A careful inspection of the wreck
ed aeroplane convinced US that the
controls were in good order. The men
were Instantly killed."

made of an old paint can with
a pine stick whitfield from a
dry goods box, and a novel con-
traption With pedals that works
a guitar, a banjo and a drum.
The box of the guitar is an old
varnish can and the drum Of the
banjo is fiye-cetnt pie pan. By
an ingenious arrangement of
picks, swivels, pivots, springs
and wires, he plays the guitar,
banjo sad drum with sliding
pedals while he bows his unique
violin. The string instruments
are mechanically fingered and
picked by single operation OF
the pedals.
Mr.. Rinard has cork legs,
