UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In week or two, hundreds of
thousands of hood seals will start
on their way from the Arctic Circle
to less chilly waters. They will be
coming south for the winter.
The southwark journey of the
hood seals is about 1000 miles long
They take of from the coasts of
Greenland and Baffin Island and
they ride much Of the way. Their
boats" are chunks of ice which are
swept toward Newfoundland by cur
rents in the North Atlantic.
Seals of another kind go South
at the same time. They are known
as harp" seals, because each adult
has two dark markings on its back,
and the markings are curved so they
look something like an Irish harp.
The harps as well as the hoods ride
on blocks Of ice.
In November the seals will be
floating past the coast of Labrador.
They should reach the northern end
of Newfoundland by the end of De-
cember or the first part Of January.
Of the coast of Newfoundland,
the seals leave the ice, and swim
the rest of the way to the Grand
Banks, region of the ocean where
fish are plentiful. The seals at
this time are lean and hungry, but
they soon get plenty to eat. At the

for fish beneath it. The baby seal
cries while its mother is away, and
the cry is almost like that of a hu-
man infant. BY and by the mother
comes back, and finds her baby, even
though the ice may have drifted q
mile or more while she was away.
When the little seal learns to swim
and take care Of itself, the mother
seems to lose interest in 1t. The
baby then swims with the herd to-
ward the Arctic Circle.
Seals are air-breathing animals,
and do not have the power Of
breathing under water, Is do fish.
The breathing Of a seal is slow, and
two minutes may pass between one
breath and another, even when the
animal is out of the water. It can
get along without breathing for q
fairly long time; sometimes it stays
under water from 20 to 80 minutes.

West opened the king of hearts
Mr. Schenken won with the ace

after the spades, and when West
showed out on the third lead was
able to get two discards of hearts
He now ruffed heart low in dummy
and played the four of clubs. East
played the jack and Mr.. Schenken
the ace. He now cashed his ace of
diamonds and led a third heart,

taxes paid by them in 1897 exceed
ed by 81 per cent the dividends
paid common shareholders.
Total assets of the $50 com
panies were S42,OOO.00O,0OO own
ed by 6,5OO,OOO investors, includ-
ing duplicates, and the companies
had 100000 employees.
Total taxes paid in 1887 amount
ed to 1.63O,OOO,OOO, more than
twice the amount paid in 1892
1921 per common shareholder, 1914
per employee For 1874 of these com
