Super-Families of Seals
MAY Be in Two Families

Seals may be divided into two
super-families, including the hair or
true seals and the fur seals, wal
ruses and sea lions. These super
families differ from each other in
important respects : in structure.
appearance, habits, disposition, and
method Of locomotion, states .
writer in the Indianapolis News. The
fancied resemblance Of the fur
seals or seal bears to the seal OF
the Atlantic has led to much mis-
conception which has been perpet-
uated in many books.
The animal that produces the
seal-skin of commerce is properly
the sea bear, which differs in i'm
portant respects from the true seals.
The sea bear is found in both the
northern and southern hemisphere.
The northern sea bear Is native
of the northern Pacific and Arctic
oceans, and is found chiefly in the
islands in Boring sea and contiguous
waters. Three principal herds OF
these animals are the American or
Alaskan, the Russian and the Rob-
ben island herd. These herds con-
stitute three distinct breeding
grounds, feeding grounds. and
routes of migration, and the indi-
viduals Of each differ in form, col
or, and in character Of fur. Only
the young males called bachelors"
are killed for their skins, many OF
which are used for fur coats.

Tavern Signs Decorated
With Inanimate Objects

Tavern signs 60 back to an era
when many people could not read.
Hence their lettering was aided by
images Of animals, birds and vari-
Gus inanimate objects. The oldest
sign exhibited in London bears
white swan and. although on 1t rests
the marks Of five centuries, it car
ries the message that the first boni-
face who put it above door was an
adherent Of the royal Plantagenets.
In whose coat Of arms that bird
appears.
In the American colonies, says the
New York Times. tavern signs were
frequently painted or carved by
artists Of ability, just as in Europe
they were created by such masters
as Hogarth. Correggio and Paul Pot
ter. Some Of the early American
portraitists, including Gilbert Stu
art, did not scorn to paint signs, and
the innkeepers were among their
best-paying patrons.
The early American tavern signs
followed the models which were
seen in England and Holland. Pic
lures or carvings identified an es-
Establishment as '"The Red Lion"
'The Blue Boar" 'The White
Horse" or ''The Black Horse"
There were on both sides Of the
