Unerring Instinct Is
Natures Gift to Seal

Seals are possessed of most mar
velOus instincts, says Gas Logic. They
know. for instance, exactly where to
bore the ice to make their bobbing
holes and never waste time or effort
on ice too thick to be penetrated. They
have some mysterious way also of
knowing the width of a field Of ice
that must either be swum under or
passed around.
A mother seal will leave her pup
on an ice foe, slide off into the water,
travel for great distance and be gone
for hours fishing. Meantime the Ice
foe, carried by winds and currents,
drifts far also. Yet when quilting
time" comes the mother unerringly re-
turns to the right foe, comes up
through her own bobbIng hole and at
once finds her waiting child. Seals
normally travel through the water at
about 20 miles an hour. but on occa.
sion will 'bolt" for a short time at q
rate Of about 100 miles an hour. They
cannot remain submerged without
drowning for more than about 20
minutes.
A mother seal among a swarm of

Alaska May Be Dubbed
Original Ellis Island

1t is now evident chat America was
originally peopIed by immigrants from
Asia and II is probable that Alaska
was the first scene of human history
on this continent. Edward NJ. Weyer
described at New Haven the relics
yielded by prehistoric villages discOv
cred during his explorations in Alaska
1.-THE American continents are younger
with regard to human occupation than
the Eastern hemisphere" according to
Weyer. "The very first immigrants to
them, the forerunners of the American
Indians, doubtless came from Asia.
Thus Alaska, which lies much closer
to Asia than any other part of Amer
lea, probably was the gateway through
which passed these early Asiatic immi
grants.
THE northwestern corner of North
America, therefore, can be regarded
as the first scene of human history In
America. No aboriglnes of Arctic
America, so far as is known, ever used
written language. Consequently the
mute relics Of material culture are the
only source of historical information
here. Nevertheless the buried prehls-
toric villages of Alaska yield secrets
to the archeOlogist. Mag.

land is owned by large properties, but
even in such cases the tenant In chief

child grew up ''in an atmosphere OF

was a spiritual looking boy In blue

his elders than with those Of his own
age. He was serious, but he was not
solemn.
Like his father, he became a min

few years, because he felt cramped In

went to live In Concord and was called

No Prize Offered for
"Mare's Nest" Discovery

"Mare's Nest" is a phrase which we
occasionally hear and which we I'M
derstand to refer to almost any sort
Of q discovery which upon its face
and at first sight seems to be of con-
siderable Importance, but which sub
sequently Is ascertained to be a hoax.
BY inference. therefore. a mares
nest" has acquired the meaning of
something that does not exist.
Just how the expression originated
is not clearly established. However,
1t is authenticity conceded that It
was first employed over 300 years ago
by John Fletcher and that he himself
probably adapted 1t from an earlier
phrase, "horse's nest" which, in the
then vernacular, referred to any story
worn threadbare by constant repeti-
ton. This latter Is said to have been
first used by Stanyhurst at the end
Of the Sixteenth century.
The line, "He's come upon a mares
nest and is laughing at the eggs" Is
frequently heard in Ireland to express
derision at somebody who thinks he
has discovered something startling
when 1t is in fact something known
to all.-Kansas City Times.

Invention of Comp IS

The origin of the mariners COM

the instrument was said to have been
introduced into Europe from the East
Others say It was a Western inven-

whose satirical "blble" is supposed to

scribed "a continuance" of sailors

"They have an ugly brown stone
which attracts iron," he wrote. "They

rubbed on this stone, and afterward
stuck into straw. They merely put
It in water, in which the straw causes
