II The most western limit of the cruising
ground of the fleet is Attu Island.
grgt This island is iD east longitude, and is

tarctic Oceans have been scoured by
lore sealers in the hope of finding the

purpose. It is now the generally accepted
opinion that the seals betake
themselves en the approach of winter
to some of the high plateans on the
bottom of the ocean, where it is possiwho
ble for them to live on email fish, and
there remain until the instinct of reproduction
forces them to 6eek the
breeding rookeries.

A FCE SEAL.
jtlpa- bo:t
from 1807 to 1812, the killing of eeale
was interdicted by the Russian authorities,
with the result that at the ex ?o.
pi ration of that time the animals had
returned, and showed signs of increasJ
ing in considerable numbers. Before
Fuu years passed the revenue in sealY
skins once more became profitable.
\li2s -fhe fkhis of the seal were first shipped
viiieh to London and to New York, in
njrinR the early liftiee, and these shipments
continued at the rate of nearly 60,00C
'.city tkiuK per annum until the transfer ol
^ , the Russian possessions to the United
J * States.
During the cnrlv sixties the Russian
fc Government received reports from its
L rights on the Fribilof Islands to the
eii'ect that the seals were increasing a1
an enormous rr>.to, tliat the roekerief
fc- were crowded beyond their capacity,
^ and permission was again and agait
^ asked to increase the number of seals
^ allowed to bo killed annually, in ordei
4rv Kni-,i vnnm fnr nnrtflrent; mill'
icus which were coming. From th<
>tir-.e of the purchase of Ihe Pribilol
Islands by the United StHtes unti
twenty y?:u.rs .'.ubsequently, the limii
of seals io be killed annually mi
* pinned at 100,000, Even with thii
Lronp -'<irge number destroyed each year, th<
fine fif"howed no signs of decrease, ani
DRS it would sccru that the condition:
?oonb? "t:?h prevailed in 1780 must hav<
o nio? n^sin returned.
Lc?a There is no telling how long this
annual killing ot 100,000 seals migh
ti have boon continued without completi
decimation of the herd had it not beer
h for the operations in lato years, par
tieularly of Canadian seal hunters
who make a practice of striking thi
seal herds when on their way to the
Fribilof group, and killing in the open
sea female as well as male seal?young
and old. Furthermore, as the Canadians
hunted the seals recourse was
had to the 6hotgun, loaded with buckshot,
and it is estimated that out of
every five seals shot in the open sea,
not more, on an average, than one
was secured. The remaining four
usually sank to the bottom before
their bodies were seized or, if wounded,
made away and died subsequently.
This wholesale slaughter on the high
seas has well-nigh exterminated the
teal, nnd it has been the direct cause
of the restrictions imposed during late
years on the sealing work of hunters.
Under the present restrictionthe company
which leases the Pribilof Islands
from the United States is not permitted
to kill duiing a single season more
than 7500 6eals. The restrictions imposed
on hungers prohibit the capture
of seals in Bering Sea and within cer|
tain limits of the North Pacific prior
to July 1, and after July 1 6eala cannot
be taken inside of the sixty-mile
zone surrounding the Pribilof group.
In addition, sealers are not permitted
to kill seals with shotguus, and the
fact that a sealing craft caught in Bering
Sea has skins on board which give
evidence ol having been taken by
shooting the animals is sufficient to
insure the seizure of the vessel by the
United States revenue cutter which
comes up with her.
Every craft in Bering" Sea will be
overhauled during the present summer
by the officers of the revenue cutter
fleet, and a thorough examination
will be made of all vessels boarded. If
the craft overhauled be an English
vessel, and it is evident that the sealing
regulations have been violated,
ST. PAUL'S ISLAND.
I
the vessel making the seizure, if sbe
be a United States revenue cutter, will
turn the oflender over to the senior
British warship of the English fleet
patroling Bering Sea. The British
naval commander will send the offending
sealer to Victoria, B. C.. to be
dealt with there by the courts having
jurisdiction.
Up to the present time one Canadian
sealer bus been seized, tbe United
States revenue cutter Corwin making
the capture.
The Chinese appear to have taught
the methods of curing sealskins. It
was the Chinese who tirst impressed
upon the Russians of Eastern Siberia
the value of the skin, and it is said
that years ago, when Chinese merchants
traded along the Siberian coast,
they would take in exchange for their
wares nothing except sealskins. The
English apear to have learned tne an
of caring during the first half of the
nineteenth century.
The killing of the limited number
of 6eals by the lessees of the seal islands
is done entirely on land, and
only on damp and cloudy days. The
young males are usually found
grouped by themselves, while the
older males generally sarround themselves
with a number of females, often
fifty. There is always a general fight
going on among the older males as to
which shall have in its particular
group certain of tbe female seals. The
latter are actually whipped into a
group by a male, if there is evidence
of any 6ign of bolting to some more
attractive set.
The seal killers on a killing day
crawl along the shore, and, getting
between the young males, who arejlelt
undisturbed, and the males and their
respective groups, drive the latter inland,
often to the number of 1000 to
3000.'The objective point of the drive
is the killing ground and Mr. Seal is
made to carry hie own pelt to the vicinity
of the storehouse. The driving
has to be conducted with great care,
otherwise the seals will reach the
killing ground in an overheated conrh+inn
onrl wi fvi a. nnnspfiTipnfc ininri
ous effect upon the Bkins. Arrived in
the vicinity of the storehouse, the
seals are divided off into groups of
twenty or thirty, and in these groups
are surrounded by their executioner*.
I There is a sharp rap over the nose
with a club, the seal is stunned, and a
second later is dispatched with a knife,
i The killing is done entirely by Aleut
Indians, the descendants of those
Aleuts whom the Russians, many years
ago, brought to the Pribilofs from
the Aleutian Islands for this very
i work. The Aleut killers are
very proud of their Bkill.
They are expert killers, and do their
1 work in nn astonishingly rapid mani
ner. While a number of them kill the
i seals others follow and remove the
pelt. The pelt is tossed into a wagon,
' and is carted to the curing house, and
there cured. For the time being it is
i mereiy salted. Later on the brine is
i removed and pressed out of the skin,
and two pelts with the fur in are rolled
up together, securely strapped, aud
are then ready for shipment.
Before the Aleut killers begin their
work they glance over the seals in the
i I group, ana it one is cliscorereu waica
> I is either under or over age he is given
:! a tap on the nose, and is sent scurry
I ing toward the bcach. The Aleut em31
ployes receive from the lessees of the
F j seal islands forty cents for each pelt
I | removed. Lifelong practice has made
t ! these Indians expert in stripping 6kins,
31 and they carry their pride to the ex <
J tent of stoutly refusing to demean
; I themselves with any other form ol
1 work.
s White men, aside from Government
2 officers, are not permitted to land on
the 6eal islands. Occasionally, late in
3 the fall, and during a log, some daring
t seal hunter will attempt a dash at one
? of the seal islands. In the course of n
l couple of undisturbed hours he maj
- be able to kill a couple of hundred
, seals. Usually, however, the native3 ol
e tbo islands arc able to take care^of sucl
poachers, ,but to make matters doubly
safe it has been the practice in late
years for at least one United States 0
revenue cutter to remain St. George ti
and St. Paul until as late as December b
1. The revenue cutter Bear is the a;
vessel generally assigned to this late ft;
patrol work. She is a sturdy, able _
craft, and is able to weather the heavy
blows which are prevalent in the Bering
Sea in the late fall. To see that
the number of seak permitted to be
killed by the lessees is not exceeded,
the United States Inspectors from the
Treasury Department are constantly
on hand, and they remain cn the islands
throughout the year.

An Armlfss Arti%t. ^
When a man without arms becomes
an artist there is considerable evidence
that he has a strong and natural . j
inclination for the career. This is
the case of Bartram Hilee, a young r
Englishman, whose pictures have been ^
on exhibition in London.
Mr. Hiles is not the only armless'
artist of merit now lirinj. Charles .

known as an excellent painter. Mr.
Felu wields the brush with his mouth. ^
The Englishman lost his arms at the
age of eight, in a street car accident;
the Balgian was born armless. The
former is only twenty-eight years old,
ami is i^riucipally distinguished as a j
landscape painter; the latter is sixty
tour, and is a figure painter.
Mr. Hiles combines a vast amount .
of perseverance and cheerfulness with
unmistakable artistic ability. Only B
two years after his accident, he bad
so far mastered the control of his i
pencil held in his mouth that he 1

Since then further honors have been
won by him on equal terms with other

Mr. Hiles is a cheery, good looking

to suffer but little inconvenience on
account of his misfortune. His lips
appear to serve him nearly as efficiently
as do our hands. At the request

Several of the great trunk railroads
of the North are experimenting on
their branch lines with electricity as a

use are very satisfactory. It ha3 been
demonstrated that electricity is

give any rate of speed that can reasonably
be desired.

Hardly anybody wants to go at that

Opinions differ as to prospects of
a general substitution of electricity

Electrical Weed Killer.
In the American Engineer and Railway
Journal a description is given of
an electrical device for the destruction
of weedp, as used on railroad lines.
Very hiRh-pressnre current is taken
from a generator on a tramcar traveling
on the railroad. One side of the
circuit is connected to tne ground,
and the other is conducted through a
series of fine wires to the tops of *>he
weeds and vegetation along the road.
In this way the electric current traverses
the roots and body of a plant,
rupturing its cells and destroying it.
The device is thoroughly practical,
and reduces the cost of maintenance
of way $10 to 880 per year per mile.
Arrangements have been made for a
fortnightly service of steamers with .
frozen produce from Australia to
Great Britain.
