But AZ last he found q place be-

he was safe and here he intended TO
STAY until Miss Kitten was tired OF
watching for him and then he would
run out and go home.
But little mouse was young or he
would have known that kittens II they
have wise mothers arc taught 10 watch

mouse comes out. And so after long
time little mouse poked out the tip end
OF his nose and there sat Miss Kitten,
her eyes big and round.
Back went little mousc's nose like

was still there and she knew, too
that there was no opening in the wal
Of the barn through which he could
escape or he wouldn't be behind tho
boxes
1t was time for her 70 act. Miss Kitten
knew this and act she did. Between
the boxes where little mouse had run
she poked her rose and then heI
paw and the boxes moved. Then
She slowly worked her body between
them.
Al! this time the boxes moved SO
/ slowly that little mouse, having no
where 10 90 il he ran, kept behind one OF
Z the boxes close 20 the wall.

nose was too close for safety and b,
ran. with Miss Kitten close at his
heels

Arctic Seq Mun1muIs
 Threatened Extinction
 By Reckless Explorers

nevertheless, these animals are seri- ously menaced. They are at the mere. not merely of occasional scientific ex- petitions, but also of commercial en- terprise, out for dividends derived frcm the sale of oil obtained from the "blubber" which defends these creatures from the icy waters in which they live"
 1t is not so long ago that the world was mortified and disgusted by the depredations of one of these oil-pro- ducing companies, who had estab- 'ished a station on the Macquarries for the purpose of boiling down penguins for the sale of their oil. In this case the wretched victims were made to "walk the plank" into boiling caul- drons, to save the trouble of killing them! Many thousands of sea ele- phants have already been done to death to furnish oil. And thus it has come about that they have but this one remaining stronghold left. Else where they have been absolutely wiped out. We must take care that a remnant remains. We have many ,amentabfe instances of extermination to serve us as examples of what will inevitably happen unless these anl- mals are safeguarded,
 Take the case of stellers sea-cow, a near relative of the manatee and the dugong It was formerly an in habitant of the shores of two small islands of the North Pacific-Bering and the adjacent Copper 1sland-on the former of which it was discovered by the ill-fated navigator whose name the island bears, when, with the Ger man naturalist, Steller, he was wrecked upon it in TAI.
 During his enforced sojourn there he discovered that this huge creature for it attained a length of from 25 to 30 feet-was good for food. It was then extremely numerous around the shallow bays round Boring Island, feeding on seaweed. Russian hunters and traders, who followed on the track of the explorers, at Steller's sugges- tion, lived upon the flesh of these animals. As a result, within tWent- seven years after, the last of the race was killed! All that now remains to us of this most interesting animal is the account of it's anatomy and habits left by Steller; and a few more or less imperfect skeletons recovered in

The Cordova daily times., 1922-09-11

The depredations which explorers IT tie Arctic regions can effect upon tne animal life of the norther8 islands and seas, is given graphic protest in an article in the Illustrated London News in which the writer deplofes ta: wholesale and unnecessary destructien of some of the larger saa mammals by scientific expedition and others wis iting the polar regions.
 There is point, he says, in Com '"t lander Wild's recent relation of the
 ventures of the Quest, which gives Occasion for anxiety. This concerns his account of the purpose of his re, cent visit to Elephant Island, which he tells us, was "to kill sea elephants for fuel, to replace our depleted coal :. As we drew near (the island)" he remarks, i've saw that there were numbers of penguins and numer. Ous Weddell seals and sea elephants asleep on the beach and, arrived at the spit, I immediately shot all the sea elephants and seals. '" These Were killed to provide the ships en- zines with fuel, and the need was, without doubt, urgent, for mems lives depended on the success of the ven- ture.
 But those of us who are concerned with the preservation of the worlds fauna, and more especially it's rapid, 1y diminishing larger mammalia, ask: Was it not possible to provide against this shortage of fuel? The Quest is a notoriously small ship, and conse, Quently her coal-carrying capacity is limited This, we suspect, was fully realized when the expedition was planned, the seals and sea elephants being marked down in advance, to make good the deficit in coal when the time came. It is common and thor oughly justified complaint that sci ence and scientific research in this country are starved. We are, there '"~n. thankful when expeditions of this kind find supporters in generous and philosophical Danefactors. Yet at the same time we deplore the exploita tion of zoology to advance the re searches of the oceanographer, the me teorologist and the physicist
 It may be urged that there are Y llenty of seals and sea elephants yet in the desolate regions of the Antarc tic-that, indeed, they still exist in thousands. This may be true. But
