THE OTTER.

81 have known such free life, such
a wild, free life" said the Otter, that
grow impatient-that is, 1 grow
restless and become bored with the
dull life of the zoo.
Il would rather be free even if /
were in danger of having my beautiful
fur taken. And the only way my fur
can be taken is by getting me first and
putting me to sorry end.
by sorry end l mean a real end.
There would be an end of me if they
got my fur. That is there would be
an end of the real me, the me that
speaks in otter language, and walks
and breathes and eats and plays.
There would still be otter as far
as my fur is concerned. But that is
only part of me. It would be as
though they would keep my coat and
leave me to get another. But l can't
get another. Once my coat is taken
there is no otter left.
Still it is a great compliment to
have them like my fur. 1t is a great
honor to feel that my fur keeps peo-
pie warm. But they can't get me
easily, for / don't look out for COM
pliments.
mo, / would be perfectly happy
without any peoples compliments. OF
course offers compliments are quite,
quite different.
81 wouldn't mind those in the least.
No. not in the least. They wouldn't
do me any harm. but those cOmpli-
ments of the peOple-well, they're fun
ny compliments. Funny indeed.
GAS though they would take one
hand and pat you and slap you with
the other. Still how could they COM
pliment our fur in any other fashion?
mo, they must compliment our fur
in that way. l see that they must.
"Such a glorious life as an otter has
when he is free. He is such a fine
animal, such a fine furry beast. He
loves Canada and the cold weather,
he loves the North and the wind and
the snow. He loves real winter bet
ter than he does a make-beieve win

"And he doesn't care much for sum-

DOGS HELPED DEFEAT HUNS
Splendid Work of Alaskan and Labra-

Alaska and Labrador served the

tains more than a thousand Alaskan
sled dogs helped to hold back the Ger

One woman brought back to Ameri-
ca a Croix de Guerre awarded by
France to her dog teams. The deed
that won them that honor was their
saving of a storm-bound, foe-presse ed
outpost in the French Alps. Dispatch
bearers had been sent back with re-
quests for ammunition, but they failed
to get through the binding blizzard
At last the situation became desper-

post. Lieut.. Rene Haas hitched his
dogs to a light sled and managed to

The Possibilities of Peat

The Commercial museum of Phila-

hibitiOn to illustrate the possibilities
in the utilization of peat. There are
about Hiss square miles of peat bog
in the United States, capable of pro-
ducing more than 12,000,000,000 tons of
fuel. The exhibit shows how, apart
from its use as fuel, peat may be spun
into yarn, made into paper, used for
packing, etc. 1t is valuable as a pre-
sentative, as it contains large amounts
Of humic acid. Ground up peat may
also be used as a filler for fertilizer,
making possible the use of slaughter

New Theory of Ice Transportation.

A novel theory of Ice transporter
ton has been suggested to the London
Geological society by F. Debenham. In
South Victoria land deposits of marine
mud exist on the surface of floating
"land ice" in deep bays of the Ross
sea, and are found on land up to a
height of 200 feet. The ice sheet ap-
pears to lose from annual melting on
the surface while annual freezing
causes it to grow from below. 1t is
believed that in severe seasons the ice
sheet freezes to the bottom, taking up
portions of the sea floor, and this
gradually rises to the surface, while
the ice float transports it to other To-
calitieS.
