termine its width and direction. And
what did you do, Bili?"
II got my transit and ran a line
from the shaft on the hill. following
the direction In which the ledge was

point toward the base Of the hill where
I would start my tunnel to cut the
ledge. To my surprise, discovered
my predecessor had selected that
identical spot So verified my cal

II over. i remembered that frequent
and violent earthquakes occur In this
country, and II seemed to me rea-

cent and particularly violent seismic
disturbance, which had faulted the
vein and set 1t over a considerable
distance. According to my calcula-
ton, that other man should have cut
the vein at 83 feet-yet ne had gone

a dozen poems and drove ahead 10

II drifted ten feet on the vein, and
the ore suddenly gave out. 1t stopped
just like that, proving I'd come to
the upper end OF the vein where II
had faulted; SO ! Just worked up and

They entered the tunnel, to the sig

When they reached the vein, Webster
broke Off samples Of the ore every
three or four feet. crawled after Billy
up through the stope and back 10 the
true vein, from the face Of which he
also took numerous samples; then he
crawled out into the sunshine again,
hot, dirty. and perspiring.

Infant Mortality Record

Since 1915 the Federal Govern
ment has been able to keep a ledger
for the birth registration area show
ing profit and loss in terms of infant
life and death. The figures for q
five-year period are given for IS
large cities In a brief report en-
titled Infant Mortality in Pitts
burgh.' which has just been issued
by the L. S. Department of Labor,
through the ChildEens Bureau
OF the nine large cities in the birth
registration area since it was estab-
iished in 1915. Washington. Phila-
delphia and New York show the
most satisfactory progress toward a
reduction of rates. though Mime
apolis has consistently maintained
the lowest rate Of any Of the nine.
In each year Of the five-year period,
1916-1920, Pittsburgh lost more ba-
bies in proportion to its births than
any other of the nine cities.
In Pittsburgh as a whole, in 1920.
there was a loss during infancy of

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 seal
ing with its indiscriminate slaughter
and attendant waste of life as we'll as
through lack of international under
standing on the question Of conserva-
tism, the seals all but disappeared.
the industry fell of and their capture
became illegal.
The decline of the heal herd was
pitiable. Shot at sea under this
method five or more bodies were lost
for each one recovered. There also
was great waste due to starvation of
pups on the shore. Under such con-
ditions the great herd rapidly dvin-
died until in 1911 there were but ap-
proximately 125,000.
OF prolific tendencies the seals,
however, multiplied rapidly after
closed seasons were instituted for
their protection.
