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
a 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 a hole to the surface by
pressing his warm nose against the
ice. Nobody knows how many hours
it 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

WHO PRODUCES THE METALS?
Some Figures That Are Interesting in
View of the Present Great World
Conflsgration.

The national advantage Of holding
premier rank among the worlds metal
producing countries has been accentu-
ated by the war. To both belliger-
ent and neutral nations the control of
the output of any metal has become
an important asset, either through sup
plying domestic needs or by increasing
fortunately situated. The international
scramble for metals has directed at
tention most forcibly to the sources
of the worlds metal supply and has
brought into prominence some of those
that hitherto have been obscure or
relatively unimportant.
Among precious metals 60 per cent
of the worlds production of gold is
controlled by Great Britain. The
United States holds second rank with
30 per cent. In pig iron and steel the
United States easily holds first rank
with an average production of about
40 per cent of the total. Germany
follows with about 25 per cent. Great
Britain is third and France and Rus
STA divide fourth place. The United
States stands pre-eminently in the pro-
ductiOn of copper, lead and zinc. Of
late years we have produced about 50
per cent of the worlds output of cop
per. We produce about One-third of
the total lead and about 80 per cent
of the zinc in normal times.-Metal-

spent hours on the books, and he
seemed to regard the presidents act
as a reflection on him.
Denton was wondering what to do.
His idea had been that. when discov-
cry became inevitable, he would go to
Florida and leave Mrs. Denton to seek
a divorce. OF course, she would di-
yorce him. She was that type of
woman. He had long since been dis
illusioned about their happiness, or
the possibility of it.
When he got home a letter from
England was lying on his table. He
opened it, wondering a little who his
correspondent might be. Denton had
left England in youth, had been kicked
out he was wont TO say, as ne'er-do-
well. and he had long since severed
all connections with his family.
He read the letter and looked at the
Enclosure that fluttered to the table.
He reeled back against the wall, gasp
ing. Fate had dealt him sorry
stroke. For it was draft for S1O,-
900, which his uncle had left him.
And $4,000 would more than cover
his defalcations.
With thirty thousand he could real
lie his aim of retiring from work and
starting that Florida plantation of
which he had dreamed.
He had just time to hide the letter
when his wife came in.

with his scheme fully matured. He
matter 10 Steel, offering to make good
if the bank would abstain from prose
cutting him. And he would take his
| thirty thousand and get out of it all,
with his wife, to Florida.
But would Steel and the president
consent? They were hard men, and
he would have to play his cards wari-
y. He pondered over the perplexing
situation in the train, and lie had
not quite decided when he reached
the bank.
He noticed an atmosphere of sub
dued excitement as he went to put on
his Office coat. Men were whispering
and looking furtively toward him.
But Harold had shut himself off from
the friendship of men, as every man
violation of moral laws, and nobody
came forward to speak to him.
He was just entering the cage when
the managers boy came up. THE
president wants to see you in his pri-
vate room, Mr.. Denton" he said.
Harold Denton mechanically changed
his coat again. The crisis was upon
him, and he had not yet made up his
mind. And he was conscious only of
a wild impulse to fly.
He went out of the cage and into
the corridor. The Waterman was
looking at him. On his right lay the
presidents room, ahead of him only
the Waterman and the glass door, and
then the street, with the cars rumbling
down in a blaze of sunshine. If he
chose to make a bolt he could prob
ably get away. Then he suddenly re-
membered The draft was in his
pocket and uncashed. If he ran away
he would run away penniless.
For just an instant he hesitated,
and then, squaring his shoulders, he
entered the presidents room.

The president, who was at his desk
alone, looked up at him. He bore
traces of a severe struggle. "a terri

Somehow Denton found himself in
the bank again. He was saved; and |

Sunset in the Forest.

The sun was setting upon one of the
rich grassy glades of the forest.
Hundreds of broad-headed. short
stemmed, wide-branched oaks, which
had witnessed perhaps the stately
march of the Roman soldiery, flung
their gnarled arms over a thick carpet
of the most delicious greensward; in
some places they were intermingled
with beeches, hollies and copsewood of
various descriptions, so closely as to-
tally to intercept the level beams of
the sinking sun in others they receded
from each other. forming those long
sweeping vistas, in the intricacy of
which the eye delights to lose itself,
while Imagination considers them as
the paths to yet wilder scenes of syl-
van solitude. Here the red rays of the
sun shot broken and discolored light,
that partially hung upon the shattered
boughs and messy trunks of the trees,
and there they Illuminated in brilliant
patches the portions of turf to which
they made their way.-Sir Walter
Scott.

SHEER LUCK

In the train on his way back to the
suburb in which he lived Harold Den
ton reflected bitterly that all his
troubles had arisen from a sentence
spoken by his wife.
Il don't see why you can't make
money as easily as other men,
That had been two years before,
when Denton was a bank clerk on
salary of $50. Today he was still
bank clerk, on a salary of S37.5O But
he was accounted one of the leading
citizens of the town.
Mrs. Denton had given out, as. in
deed, her husband had told her, that
Harold held very responsible posi-
ton in the city bank. He lived on
scale of about S125 weekly. And he
actually spent s125 weekly, for he
had been defrauding the bank syste-
matically for Is months.
His wife knew nothing, of course.
She thought the manager had recOg-
nized her husbands solid worth. She
thought their automobile came out of
his salary, and her clothes, and the
three maids, and the bountiful table,
the club subscription and all the rest
of the tout ensemble which had con-
tributed TO her happiness. And Har-
old Denton reflected bitterly that he
had no more than before he began his
criminal career.
Things had been approaching a eli
max of late, Suspicion had been
aroused, and an expert auditor was
to begin going through the books on
the morrow. Steel, the manager, was
like a thunderstorm all day. The
president had called in the accountant

If people past 60 years of age could
be persuaded to 90 to bed as soon as
they take cold and remain in bed for

There would also be less danger of
the cold being followed by any of the

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. M. PIERCE, NJ. ID


The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for a
hundred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of X-rays, the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow-
Ter, Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is neces-
sary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of
the neck. take little Anuric before
meals. This can be found at any good
drug store Therefore my advice to
young or old is, always drink plenty of
pure water. And for long life occa-
sionally take tablets of Anuric three or
four times a day.
