The ivory tusks in former days were used IN

ucles Now they are made into curios for the
white man to buy. The walrus lives exclu-
slvey on clans which he digs from the bottom
OF the Arctic Ocean with his ivory tusks, the
0rastles on his upper lip, no doubt, serving him
as feeers or antenne to distinguish the clans
IN the murky depths.

II AVE you ever seen a Walrus.
~ Ne? OF course you never have!
Strange, is it not? The and the
circus have almost every animal
from the remotest corners Of the globe, yet
there isn't q walrus in captivity to-day. 10
+he old Vikings the walrus were the goblin
monsters that infested the Arctic seas, and
MANY sagas spun about them. One of
these early Arctic voyagers, Albertus Magnus,
who died in 1890, gives us the first description
of walrus hunt. After describing the fear
fu aspect and the almost supernatural powers
~ the monster, he says: "The walrus is taken
bv the hunters while the sleeping animal hangs
hv its large tusks to cleft in the rock in the
mountains The hunter steals up to the sleep
ing animal, cuts out piece of its skin and
fastens to it strong rope, whose other end is
tied to tree, post or large rings fastened in
the rocks. The walrus is then awakened by
throwing large stones on its head In its at
temut to escape it leaves its hide behind. 1t
perishes soon after or is thrown half dead on
the beach, where it is then easily overcome"
| have often taken hunting parties into the
Actic after walrus, and upon our return, when
reading Of their adventures in the papers,
Albertus Magnus, I realized, had nothing on
them. Now science has given US the motion
picture camera and my errand was to bring
back to civilization record of this least known
animal imprinted on the celuloid.
The habitat Of the Pacific walruses during
the months from November until May is the
southern part of Bering Sea from the mouth
of Bristol Bay to the Aleutian Islands When
the ice begins to melt and recedes into the
Arctic they follow the edge of the pack on their
annual migration into the Arctic. They have
no more home than rabbits, but lie on the ice
foes, leading a lazy and stupid life. The
Esquimaus along the coast intercept them in
the spring and hunt them in their skin boats
as the herds drift past their villages, for the
walus is one Of their mainstays. The skin,
which is from two to three inches thick, is
split and forms the coverings of boat, roofs of
houses and soles for boots. The blubber is his
standard oil" Illuminating and heating his
igloo in the winter. The meat is food for man

FIGHT FANS D|SPLEASED
Poor Bouts Are Offered at Silver
Spring Show-Bodie Winner
in Second Round.

Fight fans who braved the elements
to make the trip to the armory in
Silver Spring. Md. last night to wit
ness the show offered by the Supply
Company, 1st MARYLAND Infantry; were
sorely disappointed. OF the thirty
four rounds called for by five bouts
sch eduled, only ten were given in four
scraps and q battle royal proved q
dismal failure. The feature match
between Ping Bodie of Philadelphia
and Willie Grass of York, light
featherweights. ended in the second
session. when Grass took the count
after both battlers had made weak
attempts at mixing.
Sailor Jack Boswell sat quietly in
his corner in the second round of his
scheduled six-round go with Young
Thomas and listened to the referee
toll the count that gave Thomas the
decision. Lightning Sparks of Fort
Myer and kewpie UDonnelI put up
good argument, but the latter was
outc1assed by the soldier. and was put
out Of action in the second round.
Colored boxers introduced as Turk
Smith and Joe Blackburn stalled their
way into the fourth round before the
latter became tired and permitted
Smith to win. An exhibition given
by the Peacock brothers, boys aged
nine and eleven years. proved inter-
esting, but the battl royal was a
farce. -Four Of the contestants quit
cold in the f1rst round, giving victory
to b nth, who had not moved around
enough to get warm.
The Supply Company. promises a
better program Monday night, when
Ted Muchic. former middleweight
champion OF the Atlantic fleet. will
face Johnnie Kelley OF Philadelphia
in the ten.round feature. Three other
bouts with fairly good boxers match
