SOMETHING OF A SURPRISE
as Express Package Was Not
Entirely Welcome.

There's an express package at the
station for you, Mr.. Marshall" came
the voice from the manager of the,
American Express Office, at the Lake
Erie station at Hartford City over the.
telephone. do you want it delivered 2"'
was the further query.
''Well, what is it," Lawrence Mar
shall, member of the firm Of MARSHALL
& Alexander, hardware dealers, inter-
rogated. The agent agreed to investi--
gate-but he would not do it again for
his job.
"Why-why-why, there's somethin'
In there that's growlin', something
awful-guess it's Hon," the agent
fairly gasped.
'Lion?-why what the. Say, you're
quite clever this morning? Whereja
git that stuff"
Finally, however, Marshall was con-
vinced that lioness was crouched in
one corner of a nice little cage in the
express Office.
This is how 1t happened. The man,
agement of wild animal show, which
showed at the fall festival here, was in
this city few days previously to the
festival, and met Mr.. Marshal. Later,
not knowing whom to express the lion
ess to, he happened to think of Mar

DRILL HOLES THROUGH ICE.
Seals Necessity of Obtaining Air In
Winter Calls for Tedious and
Constant Labor.

1t is probable that not one person In
thousand knows how the seal of the
far North gets air when the Arctic
ocean is entirely covered with many
feet of ice.
The small, spotted seal, which is a
hair seal, and not a fur-bearer, is the
hardy dweller of the northern waters.
Under his tough thick skin he has an
inch or more of blubber. When the
ice closes up the open water in the
Arctic, the seal selects a spot and be-
gins to drill q hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
1t takes him to accomplish his task,
but he manages it; and although he is
obliged to work most of the time, be-
cause the surface of the hole is con-
tinually freezing, he keeps it open all
winter, and obtains air. ~~
Seals have been known to drill in
this manner through 90 feet of solid
ice. Whether or not they take turns
in the slow drilling is not positively
known.
1t is at these "seal holes" that the
polar bear seeks food in the winter,
and there the Eskimo waits, spear in
hand, for his weekly supply of meat.

The lighting began as soon as the

TWELVE EXPELLED
FROM RUSS OUMA
MEETING OF THE RUSSIAN PAR
LAMENT is ATTENDED BY
VIOLENT DISORDERS.
Premier Tr-poff Has Hostile Greet
ing and as Result Leaders of the
Socialist and Labor Parties
Are Expelled.

Petrograd.-The eagerly awaited re
assembling of the duma took place
December 2, without any promise oil
a final settlement of the dispute be
tween tie government and the rep
resentatives of the people. Leaders
of the duma said they are uniformed
as to the attitude adopted by the gov
eminent and did not look for any i'm
mediate clearing of the political at
mosphere.
When Premier Trepoff mounted the
tribune in the dUma to read the gov
ernment's statement, the parties OF
the extreme left began a hostile dem
onstration.
M. Trepoff thrice appeared on the
tribune, but as often left, owing to
the turmoil.
The president of the duma there
upon proposed expulsion for eight sit
tings of twelve leaders of the social
list and labor parties, including the
leaders, Tcheldse and Krenski. This
proposal was adopted and the premier
delivered his speech.
M. Trepof expressed satisfaction at
the patriotic activities of the munich
palities, and said that the government
would take all possible measures for
the establishment of settled order be-
hind the army. In the present time,
the premier said, this lack of order
had been felt in questions of supply, |
with the result that the population in
many regions was experiencing diff |
culties as regards foods. 1t might |
be necessary, he said, to renounce
the system of restrictions.
The premier declared that transport
difficulties necessitated an examina-
ion into the railway construction. He
declared tht measures must be taken
