America leads In Cement Use.

Although Portland cement was pat
ented by Mr.. Aspdin. an English engi-
neer, and reinforced concrete is cred
tied to a Frenchman, America has
made the most use of them. The
manufacture Of Portland cement has
been brought to the highest state Of
perfection in this country, and our
use of concrete now ranges from the
watering trough to the Panama canal.
Use of cement has made possible the
impressive architectural effect Of vast
and lofty interiors unencumbered by

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 14.-Fur
sealing in Alaskan and British Columbian
waters, which suffered for many years be-
cause of defamation of the herds through
indiscriminate killing, has returned and
thousands of animals are expected to be
taken this year.
, OF the west coast of Vancouver Island
alone, Indians are expected to capture
1000 Of the fur-bearing animals, and the
total catch for the year may reach 100000,
II is estimated. Last year the waters
along the Washington coast produced
/ 200 skins.
The story Of the Alaskan fur seal herd
Is an interesting one. When the United
States acquired Alaska from Russia. the
herd was estimated at 100000. Then,
through pelagic sealing with its indiScrim-
mate slaughter and attendant waste of
life, as well as through lack of interna-
tiOnal understanding on the question of
conservation, the seals all but disap-
peared, the industry fell off and their
capture became illegal.
The decline of the seal herd was pit
liable. Shot at sea under this method five
or more bodies were lost for each one re-
covered There also was great waste due
to starvation of pups the shore. I'm
der such, conditions the great herd rapidly
dwindled until in 1911 there were but ap-
proximately 125.000.
OF prolific tendencies. the seals. how
ever, multiplied rapidly after closed sea
sons were instituted for their protection.
