With land animals it is comparative- ly easy to get information as to their length of life. We know definitely that an elephant will live for more, than a century, and that a goose can survive tothe age of sixty. But when we come to fish or to crea- tures whose life is spent in the waters, the difficulty of ascertaining their ages is very great, Since it is usually the largest ani- mals that live longest, we Dan assume that the whale` is very long-lived. Of this feet we have also some definite' proof- In 1866 a huge bull 'sperm whale was killed. In its body was found the head o4 an old harpoon, manes upon which showed that it be -longed to a whaler which had been broken up forty years before.' It would seem that this whale had been hunted at least half a century earlier, and ranee the creature must then have been of fair size, it 1s prob- able that at the time of Its death it was about a hundred years old. Walrus -es certainly live to fifty years of age, and possible longer, while a seal has 'lived in Scaptivity for thirty years. The longest -lived ,creatures ere •rep- tiles, eild we are aware that the giant Galapagos tortoise has a life extend- ing to two centuries. And -since we knowthat the- great sea turtles are very slow growing, yet reach it weight of .six hundred pounds', we are justified in believing that ^these creatul+es, too, may live to be at least a hundred years It is mora than likely that monster devil -fish; the resita.ina of which have at times been washed ashore on beach- es, niay have lived for centuries in the cold, black abysses.

A Little Known Race of Indians. The Nootkas of Vancouver Island are village dwellers. Their old-time rectangular houses of cedar planks formerly stood close to the water's edge in the majestic fords that indent the impenetrable mountains and forests of the interior, Now their small modernized settlements are strung north and south in bead-like fashion all along the west coast of their island home. They have occu- pied the same coves from time Im- memorial. Far away to the East, across the mountains, lived the elusive hunters of the endless plains, the Cress, the Stonier and the Blackfeet, whose no- madic existence admitted of no fixed abode and whose conical skin tipls in- cessantly shifted from plaoe to place for the requirements of peace and war. Even at the present day, alter the government has barb -wired them on reserves, their Indian Agencies and Missions stand in lonely isolation, like symbols of the new restrictions which have not yet won full recognition in the land. Whereas the Nootkas depended on. the deep sea for subsistence—their foods being codfish, salmon, whale, Dandle-Ssli o11 and seal blubber—the restless rovers of the prairies coveted nothing but buffalo meat, which, once their -ravenous appetites were . satis- fied, they dried in the sun or prepared into pemmican for preservation. If the former cared nothing for the flesh of land animals, the latter—the Blackfeet in particular—loathed all flail -eaters, for fish in their estimation was as "un- clean" as snakes are to most white people. - Their respective modes of travelling and hunting were as far apart as the nature of their footle. The coast fish- ermen could not betake themeless to any distance without their one-piece canoes, hollowed out from the trunks of the giant cedars; they fished with nets of wild hemp and hooks made of bone and hardwood; They gathered in canoe parties foe hunting the whale, their .weapons being" detachable har- poon • heade fastened to large seal stomach floats and propelled by long poles. The whale -hunting songs and magic ritualis, of their chief were, in their belief, no lees essential for the 5000685 of their venturesome' enter- prises than the primitive harpoons they employed, You Never Would "Ngon, the new African fruit they're going to import into this country, 1s pronounced delicious,.
