only hope.it will be lifted only in the interests of the native," he said this morning. Natives are allowed during the spring migration, to spear seal with harpoons If such regulation could be applied to sea otter, it might be possible to give financial advantage to the native without seriously depicting the sup ply"
 Blames Migration on Boats
 It is Kashevaroff's belief that gas- oline launches, rather than the ac- tual killing of sea otter, brought about the disappearance amounting almost to total extinction twenty years ago.
 The sea otter is very clean animal" he said, aand greatly ob- iscts either to steamer smoke or to 5il; it has. in fact, a great fear of oil, and in my opinion the sea otter were forced to migrate because of the many gasoline launches, which, in their otter hunting, spread so much oil on the water that the sea otter could no longer endure ita ormer haunts."
 Since the embargo on otter, gaso- inc launches have not ventured into those waters, and the steamers pass through them only infrequently eaving them once more inhabitahle )y otter.
 Increase in Sea Lions Father Kashevaroff reported a
 corresponding increase in sea lions, 'eporting one island on which they ay in solid mass, 300 or 400 of
 chm, beautiful and almost in- credible vision.'

Bay, being noticeably in advance.
 He would not, he said, at this time pretend to any definite under standing of just why this differ ence should occur, nor why Glacier Bay and Prince William Sound, which would seem to have the same general climatic conditions, should have been, in the actions of their glaciers, "diametrical opposites for the past 200 years.'
 "Glaciers, he said, respond with great sensitivity to the smallest en- vironment factors; change in snow fall, slight variation in temperature. Ia rise in the temperature of sea- water. and even to solar radiation. It would appear now that ice fields at low attitudes are gradually vast ing away, and the glaciers feeding .Npon them are therefore retreating: whereas, those at heights of 5000 feet are steadily advancing"
 It is Mir. Fields opinion that only by a series of painstaking records, invc,ving photographs of the glac- iers, measurement of retreat and advance, and comparison of these records with weather bureau re- ports and the records of previous ~ea~s. all this extended over a large period of time con the exact cycle Of glacial retreat and advance be established.
 Aa.iai Photography
 It was to complete these records for the year 1895 that MT. Field, accompanied by his assistant, Rus sell Dow. and by Captain Smith of he motorship Yakobi, made a pho- tographic flight over Glacier Bay yesterday in a PA plane, piloted by Jerry Jones and Walter Hall. A complete motion picture chronicle of the entire flight was made. This film will be carefully compared with the two other films MT. Field has made of this territory, now in the Council headquarters at Washing ton, D. O.
 MT Field, who is now returning to Washington, where he will spend at least year correlating his re- suits, will revisit Juneau in 1940.

decided increase in the number Of sea ctter this year, due, he de- clares, to the twenty-year-old pro- tective laws of the government and to the absence of gasoline launches g1om the waters in which the ot- ters breed and live.
 Father Kashevaroff had ample op- portunity to observe sea otters in his recent trip to Kodiak Island, where, he said, the increase in num- tes has been noted and commented upon by everyone. He expressed the hope that the great increase would net cause the government to aban- 5on their protection

nature to the budget bill, appropri-
ating $62,262,387 for the support of
the State Government, schools and in

lures to become law, however, having
become effective as soon as it was
passed by the Legislature.
Among the other bills signed was
that creating a three-member Con-
servation Commission to be headed by
Judge Robert F. Duer, of Princess

The milk bill, creating a milk con-
troll board of three members, to be
selected by the Governor from list
of twelve supplied by the State Board

vides that the board shall assume con-
troll in any vicinity where the major
ity of those affected request it. An
other measure signed provides for the
testing of milk and cream under the
supervision of the College of Agricul-
ture of the University of Maryland.
Another measure approved creates
the Upper Potomac River Commits
sion, with authority to build dam in
Garrett county to regulate the flow of
the river.
Seven bank bills, sponsored by the

fetal interest and limit the amount a

Honor Memory OF
John ]. Audubon
Naturalist's 150th Birthday An.
niversary Celebrated By
Association

OF the LOO species of American
birds known today, John James
Audubon, whose one hundred and
fiftieth birthday anniversary was OBJ
served last Friday, had listed 474.
The National Association of Audu-
bon Societies reports that Audubon
originally listed 507 species, but that
five fthem had never been seen
after he found them, others proved to
be hybrids, and changes of classif-
cations accounted for striking others
from the list.
Audubon himself saw 1856 species of
birds in their natural habitat, which,
the society's authorities say, is a
splendid list even today.
AS a pioneer in the field in America
his task was more difficult since he
could refer to no great museum col
lections. Literature on the subject
was very scarce.
The first list of birds ever describ.
ed in America was made by Thomas
jefferson in 1882. He listed 100.
It is only comparatively recently
that it has become possible to cele-
brate the exact birth date of Audi
bon, whose name has become syno-
nym in this country with bird and
nature study.
He did not know the date of his
birth, nor did his descendants. 1t was
Prof. Francis Hobart Herrick, Of
Western Reserve University, who dis.
covered that he was born April 26
1785, at Les Sayes, in what is now
the Republic of Haiti.

.TwO-Way Telephone
Call Around World
A Dramatic Event
Voice Impulses Carried $4,000
Miles Last Thursday In Great
Communication Achievement

Proof that there are no earthly
limits to human speech was empha-
sized in the telephone conversation
held around the world April rs, when
Walter S. Clifford, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, talked over a $4,000 mile
telephone and radio circuit That origi-
mated and terminated in the long dis
lance building at 80 Sixth Avenue,
New York. In speaking with Theodore
G. Miller, vice president in charge of
the long lines department of the A.
7. G. T. Co., Mr.. Clifford said, This
is another step in the conquest of
time and space by man."
This dramatic event is hailed by
officials of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Companies and 9TH
err associated companies of the Bell
System as one of the greatest COM
munication achievements, the voice
impulses covering the $4,000 miles
being made in a quarter of a second.
The telephones over which Mr.. Gift
ford and Mr.. Miller spoke were
within fifty feet of each other.
In this first demonstration of two
way telephone call all the way around
the world, Mr.. Clifford used the long
est telephone circuit ever established
The route of the call was through
San Francisco, Java, Amsterdam
London and back to New York. From
New York Mr.. Gifford's voice crossed
the continent over wire through ST.
Louis, Los Angeles to San Francisco
and then to the Bell Systems short
wave transmitting station at Dixon
Cal.
In crossing the international date
line far out on the Pacific, the voices
of the speakers went from today into
tomorrow and then back into today
again. In New York it was half past
nine Thursday morning. At Sar
Francisco the clocks read $50 A. M
AS the voice of the first speaker sped
across the Pacific the clocks in
Hawaii had just struck 400 A. M
Farther out in the western Pacific
ships bells were striking once, indi-
eating 1890 A. M. Friday. In the
Java receiving station, however, the
clocks showed 1000 P. M. Thursday
evening. The hands on Big Ben in
London pointed to 2:30 P. M. as the
voice impulses flashed through the
London trunk exchange. Mr.. Miller
heard Mr.. Gifford's voice at a quar-
ter of a second after $3.50 A. M.
