Cealtill it Is, however, that Vitus Retiring
and his venturesome orew, having boon
shipwrecked in 1711. on the then unknown
Commander IsInnds, found there millions

Company after oroUpony Woe organized in
11,110010, for the purpose of hunting civet
these new grounds as Boon ae the discovery
11/1113 made knossm. No restriction was 9300 -
ed upon their slaughter, with the result
that in loss than twenty years the seal was
well nigh exterminated from the Commander
Islands, In 1786 the Pribylov Islands were
issoverocl. The iseoverer, es' eltrinan

sloop named the St. George, in wheel Ito

The slaughter wrest on for nearly a cen•
tury until, in 131(111, the Pribylov Islands be.
namo part of the United States by virtue of
the purchase of Alaska front Russia. Dur.
ing this period there has been spasmodie
attempts at restriction both at the Com-
mander and at the Prihylov Islands, but it
was not until the Alaska Commercial Com.
patty was formed in 1870 then a system wan
adopted which seems to have proved suc-
cessful for the protection of the seal during
breeding time. The present arrangement
has been a profitabets 'one for both the Gov.
eminent and the lessees. The Governmeqt
hes received during the period covered by
the lease over $7,000,000 in taxes and rent-
als, while the Alaska Company has made
fortunes for all of ite members. The
natives, too, have profited by it. There
are less than four hundred people on both
islancle, their only means of support being
the fishereee. They are paid 40 cents for
each skin, and their average wage is about
$500 per annum, not bacl when it is remain -
bared that they arc idle nine months in the
yone, The:Alaska Commercial Company has
also bought from tho Russian Government
the sole right to kill seals in the Commander
Ieleale. From this source they gather
aboat 45,000 skins annually. Adcl to this
number the 100,000 killed in the Pribylov
group and' you hove practically the whole
laumber of skins collected each year.
The first to make their appearance on the
breeding grounds are bulls, who corms both
singly and in droves from about May
until the ood of the seam. They land with
perfect confidence and without a show of
fear. Upon their arrival the bulls, which
are then as fat as butter, take up their peal -
done as near as the water'e edge as possible.
If they prove strong enough to withstand
the, attacks of those of their fellows who
oonie after them, they stay wherethey are; if
not they must move back—take a back seat,

Between June 12 and 14 the first of the

and continue to do so for the remainder of
the season, yet the fighting which takes
place upon the arrival of the (tows is the
blefelleat mud most vindictive known to the
seal. By fai the heavieet percentage of
mutilation and death among the males oc.

With the advent of the cows is presented
a strong contrast between the males and

The Mauve or Siennaboarthee
It is not case, to predict what is to bo the
future of this great %siting interest. We
1114V0 04'00 twenty thousand miles of steani
navigation, we have original and enterpris-
ing beet builders, and an enormous travel-
ling public. Wo have had in the past a
phenomenal fleet of steamboats, particularly
mu our western rivers, and yet the business
has been gently depressed, and there are
fewer boats afloat to -day than twenty years
ago. Moreover—and this is the most serious
matter of all—our canals are being abate.
doned yaar by year. While Europe spende
millions on canals and waterways, while
France is trying to make every little stream
navigable, and England is trying to turn
her intoner cities into seaports, wo per-
mit our canals to fill ttpor foolishly give
them away to impecunious railroads for
roadbeds. Is it wise? Are we safe in
trusting all our freight business to railroad
corporations? To -day we can, if the need
come, send gunboats inland from the Dela-
ware to New 'York Bay. If we permit the
railroads to destroy the besinessof the canal
between our ship yards and our navy yards,
we may be sure that in every European war
office the fact of our folly is carefully noted
for intim° reference. Once Great Britain
fought a great battle to destroy the water
route that connects the port of New York
with the baok door of Now England. Sara-
toga, was fought to destroy 11 vital water
route. Fortunately, the English generale
who planned in London thus to cut the
country in two failed, and yet to -day we
are abandoning our canals and see our great
internal steam navigation system decay
without. 14 thought of the consequences.

business in question steadily and largely
increased throughout the whole period,
and the profits also. For every
4400 spent in advertising, the sales
during the first year amounted to
4256, in the second 4274, and so on until
the seeth year they reached 4333. So far,
therefore, we have absolute proof of the
fertilizing effect of advertising on business.
