90 ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV (COntinued)

We had little time to watch
them, however, for in an instant
they had overtaken the fugitives
and were making q dire slaughter
among them. Their method was to
fall forward with their full weight
upon each in turn, leaving him
crushed and mangled, to bound on
after the others. The wretched
Indians screamed with terror, but
were helpless, run as they would,
before the relentless purpose and
horrible activity of these monstrous
creatures. One after another they
went down, and there were not half
a dozen surviving by the time my
companion and I could come to their
help. But our aid was of little avail
and only involved us in the same
peril. At the range of a couple of
hundred yards we emptied our
magazines, firing bullet after bullet
into the beasts, but with no more eff
feet than if we were pelting them
with pellets Of paper Their slow
reptilian natures cared nothing for
wounds, and the springs If their

Changes Skin to Match Bottom
mot only because of his shifty
eye and turnable spine is the hall
but interesting, but he is. also able
to change the color of his skin to
match that Of the bottom near
which he lies. In some mysterious
way this ability to play chameleon
is connected with eyesight and a
severing of the optic nerve robs
the halibut of It's protean ability to
camouhage himself against the
home he has chosen and the furni-
ture amid which he moves. Only
by keeping his eyes open can the
halibut work out a color scheme
OF his own. So commercial fisher
men prevent the flesh from becom-
ing discolored by using the tish's
own body as a binder and laying
him eyes down.

port with many OF It's cargo still
alive, the bins are full OF fish, all
stacked with the white side up. AS
the huge fish are lifted 10 the

able portion of the body, and tons
Of these are thrown into the har-
Dor or given TO the poor of the

pairs of trousered girls bringing
home baskets Of fish heads which
are split and hung from poles to
keep them from the dogs and al

heads give flavor to the town and

local colors in which bright beads

HOW ESKIMOS ARE

Washington. D. c.. Oct. 16 @
How the Eskimos live in icy
Greenland, one of the most for

related in the following bulletin
from the National Geographic So
ciety, based on a radio dispatch
from the Macmillan Arctic eXpedi-
ton:

a two inch tree produces little

suitable harbors to which kayak

Fishing Only Industry
1.-The Eskimo has been repulsed
, by a barren land which, however.
, welcomes him cordially when fish
are piled on his deck or Walrus or
seal drag at his towlne. 1t Is
natural therefore that the only in

charged, their speed is about 35 miles
an hour. 1t is equipped with an engine
which is operated by compressed air,
and thus travels under its own power.
This engine has devices that keeps
the torpedo on its course, and also
keeps it from rising to the surface or
sinking to the bottom. 1t maintains
this power until it becomes exhausted
usually when it has travelled about a
mile without hitting anything.
