islands of st. Paul and st. George to
the Alaska Commercial company, CIV
ing the company the right to kill 1OO,-
600 seals year for 20 years. The
islands were later leased by the gov
eminent to another commercial COM
fpany and the killing was cut so that 1t
could not exceed 10000 seals year.
In 1891 this figure was still further re-
duced to 5000 year, and since that
time it has varied form 5000 to 21,OOO
annually. In 1913 the United States
assumed entire control of the sealing
industry and it has conducted it since
that time.
SIN 1919 about 10000 seals were Ia
ken for commercial use. There are now
approximately 100000 seals in Alaska
and the government has taken strict
measures to prevent this number from
being depleted. No one not authorized
by the government is allowed on the
two principal seal islands except at
the time of the killing, when the Aleuts

NEW PLANE HAS
WINGS LIKE BIRD

this flying machine is a gasoline en-
CINE or engines. The most essential
mechanism is, first, the universal
joint bearing boxes, which connect
the wings of the flying machine to
the body, and wherewith the wings
are caused to swing, tapping like
those of bird in the air; and, sec
ond, the wing gliding disk that
causes the wings te move downward
and upward in q oblong circular
movement similar t. that of an oars
man rowing boat This eliminates
all jerking motion in the wing.
It is the constant aim of-mechani-
cal engineers in the construction Of
gasoline engines in operation to hold
down the speed revolutions to keep
the heat produced by gas combustion
and friction at temperature that
will prevent distortion Of the engines.
For the type of airplane now in
use the propellers must revolve very
rapidly. and consequently, the en-
gines are speeded up very near the
danger point, as where speed OF
ninety-six miles an hour is main
tanned continuously for many hours,
which speed is that of the wild goose
with its wings and by muscular
energy alone. In Mr.. Birds flying
machine, with wings likened to those
of a wild goose, to attain this speed
! the wings will be propelled eight
revolutions per minute, whereas the
propeller airplane will require 1,40O
per minute.
The wings or planes in this inven-
ton are formed from Overlapping
Stats, and are so constructed as to
| automatically close on the downward
| and forward thrust of the wings and
open as the wings rise or recover.
thereby permit g the air orswater,
as the case ma be, to pass through
without retard ! the movement of
| the wings.
The inventor claims that no diff
/ ficulty will be e. perienced in develop
! ing an engine revolution of 100 to 200
per minute, and speed Of 175 to 200
/ miles per hour.
The aviation department of the
United States government has signi-
fed it's encouragement of the device
by offering aid in the building Of a
machine this coming summer at its
chief construction base at C!eve'
land, O.

a mystery surrounding the seal and in
all the years these animals have been
put to commercial use and have been
under such close observation no one
has ever been able to discover where
they go in winter. No one yet has
been able to make a record of their
hiding place, according to Gas Logic,
which gives something Of the history
of the seal.
"In Alaska, the seals begin to appear
on the islands Of St. Paul and ct.

first Of May" reads the article. "and
toward the latter part Of, August or in

s'Even in the days, years ago, when
