H. Towntend.

New York. Naturalists all over the world are greatly interested just now in a beach some 400 yards long by 30 in width on the isolated island of Gaudalupe. Here on this remote and uninhabited island, lying in the Pacific ocean, 140 miles off the northern part of the peninsula of Lower California, has been discovered the only rookery left and the last standhold on the western continent of the northern elephant seal. This is the largest of all seals, long since thought to have dls-peared, and likewise one of the most remarkable marine mammals existing today. Aside from its great size, 16 feet and more, the chief feature of Interest of these animals is centered in the strange appearance of the head, caused by elephant-like trunk or snout, measuring in the adult males nearly a foot or more In length.

The rediscovery of this, the only herd of northern elephant seals living today, was made by Dr. Charles H. Townsend, who commanded an expedition on the United States Fisheries Steamship Albatross to Lower California to study the fishery resources and to obtain specimens of this region. Being valuable for its oil, the elephant seal was killed in large numbers for commercial purposes until it was thought to be practically extinct. The oil is worth about 50 cents a gallon.

A 16-foot elephant seal is said to yield from 200 to 250 gallons of oil. The colony of seals found by Dr. Townsend was scattered in family groups along the beach, and watched the landing party in their boats with apparent indifference. The herd consisted chiefly of large males, females, yearling and new-born pups. A number of adult females were surrounded by newly-born young, and the indications were that the breeding season was just commencing at this time of year, which was March, and therefore it was thought that other adult females would arrive later.

The seals had little fear of man, which afforded unusual opportunities for securing close-range photographs showing them in their various attitudes. Unless actually teased by the members of the party the old animals did not attempt to leave the beach. in a rough kind of way, a village. It Is called the Albiacin.

It is probable that one of the important summer schools of the Kansas agricultural college will be dropped this year unless the men interested in it put up the money to carry the work along. This is the egg candling school, introduced by the college last year to teach the merchants how to candle and grade eggs. There were hundreds or merchants who utlended the school last year and were greatly benefited by the lectures and demonstrations and many farmers who have poultry farms of considerable size attended atul learned a good deal about the handling of eggs that will help them. The school was organised last year by Prof. W.

A. Uppincott of the poultry husbandry department of the college. The expenses of the school were paid by the college and the state board of health. The 1913 legislature adopted a resolution directing the agricultural college to make a complete investigation of the poultry industry, especially regarding the handling and marketing of the eggs, but failed to make any appropriation for work incident to such an Investigation. The legislature also cut down the funds of the college and the board of health so that it is practically impossible to organize the egg schools this summer.

The egg schools were so successful last year that it was planned this year to charter a refrigerator car and a lecture car and make the rounds of every Kansas county seat town this summer, stopping at each town at least one day and at the big poultry producing centers two or three days. The railroads were willing to assist in the work and make the egg school a summer demonstration train. But the college hasn't the funds needed to carry on the campaign. Several of the big poultry houses and big egg shippers have been talking about contributing to a fund to pay the expenses, and this may he done. For two years the government and tbe Kansas pure food departments have been trying to determine what constitutes mincemeat for commercial purposes.

The Kansas board of health beat the government and decided what mincemeat really was. Here is the official definition: Mincemeat is a mixture of cooked comminuted meats with chopped suet, apples and other fruit, salt and spices with sugar, syrup or molasses, with or without vinegar, fresh, concentrated or fermented fruit juices or spirituous liquors. The meat present is in sufficient quantities so that the total nitrogen of the mincemeat is not less than .50 per cent. Condensed mincemeat, when mixed with liquid as directed on the label conforms in all respects to this standard except that not more than 2 per cent of flour may be used as a binder. If glucose be used in any kind of mincemeat its presence must be declared on the label using type not smaller than eight point capitals.

Under the ruling mincemeat must coutain real meat, and not imitations. Every commercial manufacturer has a mincemeat receipt of his own and all wanted their own adopted, but the board made a standard of its own, to which all must conform.

But perhaps that is not a good way to put it. When you enter from the bright light outside you can at first see nothing. But when your eyes get used to tbe gloom the first thing that will doubtless strike you is what looks like a long black body, hanging either from the roof or along the side of the wall. It Is only a pigskin, more or less filled with wine. But there are other things and shapes that you cannot make out in the gloom.

Col. 8. P. Cody, the American airman, who has become a naturalized English subject, is preparing to build an airship destroyer, comparable with a torpedo boat destroyer, to protect England against possible Invasion by foreign airships. He said recently: "My idea is to have an airship destroyer in the same way as you have a torpedo boat destroyer at sea.

I have ordered a machine of 500 horse power. It Is difficult to predict exactly what an aeroplane of that size will do, but expect it to be capable of lifting and carrying 2,500 pounds. Us highest speed would be somewhere between 75 and 90 miles an hour. "The machine to which the engine Is to be fitted will be a Cody biplane of the same type as the one that gained the war office prize of $25,000. It will be designed so as to be capable of guarding the air over England against invasion by foreign airships.

It will be able to rise above them and to fly around to attack them from any point." ana never served a day of his sentence. Smith has been in the navy ever since he escaped and has a fln record.

When driven from a comfortable resting place they would soon' settle down, and, after throwing sand on their backs with their front flippers, become quiet again.

Both young and old have the habit of covering themselves with sand when settling down to rest. The females, although but little molested, appeared to be even more passive than the males. Some of the large males after being driven into the sea soon returned.

The men, however, were fine, villainous looking fellows. They generally wore the air of retired or quiescent cutthroats and highway robbers. They looked at once lazy and agile and powerful. Their faces were hard and destructive, and their eyes were fierce. They seemed to have very much the physical and mental make-up of the Spanish gentlemen who, In more interesting times, used to send the ears of captives to their friends, so as to stimulate them in the matter of ransom.

Under amendments to the Kansas workmen's compensation act, failure on the part of an employer of more than five persons engaged In certain lines of occupation, to notify the secretary of state that he does not wish to come under the law places him under the provisions of the act. The amendments became effective a month ago upon publication in the official state paper and since that time 350 employers having more than five on their payroll, and who are amenable to the act, have notified the secretary of state that they elect to not come under the law. It Is estimated that there are at least 3,500 employers In Kansas to whom the act applies. Based on that figure, to date about oue-tentn have chosen to, not come under the law and have so informed the secretary of state.

Th'l other nine-tenths are therefore under the law unless they file notice. Employers choosing to not come under the law, in addition to notifying the secretary of state to that effect, must post notices at conspicuous placet about their business buildings or yards. Dr. S. J.
