NO ESCAPE FOR THE SEAL
Once Hooked by Eskimo Hunter, There
It No Way by Which He
Can Get Away.
An Eskimo, when once he has gone
to the trouble of splicing a fine spear
handle, does not wish to break It, so
the point Is put on with a tangle or
joint.
When a seal or walrus is harpooned
the sudden struggle of the animal does
not break the speer, but merely uu
jolnts the point, and the more the ani
mal struggles the more the point turns
crosswise In the wound and the firmer
the barbs take hold.
But the animal cannot escape, for
with thongs of skin the point Is con
nected with the spear shaft. The ani
mal merely swims away or dives deep
Into the sea, currying with him the
spear. The long leather thong which
Is attached to It uncoils from the deck
of the kyack and pays out. It carries
with It a drag like a kite, which re
tards the animal and exhausts him,
but does not pull hard enough to break
the line. Even this draw is made of
skin stretched over a spliced frame
work.
When the line Is all played out It Is
seen to be attached to a float, which Is
also curried on the deck of the bout.
This Is made of an Inflated skin. It
has plugs and attachments of cleverly
carved Ivory, for wood Is far too pre
cious to be used In this land of Ivory
so far from the forests.
The float serves as a buoy so that
the Eskimo can follow the animal and
find It after It gives up Its struggle
and dies. Then, too, the float keeps
the catch from sinking and being lost
In the ocean's depths.
MUST BE FREAK OR FOSSIL
Discovery In the Nevada Mountain*
Has Split the World's Scien
tists Into Two Camps.
A stone form exactly resembling the
leather sole of a shoe, was found in
the Nevada mountains.
Geologists,
paleontologists and other scientific men
were astounded with the specimen's
similarity to a shoe, but none would
accept It as anything but a freak of
nature. This strange fossil or freak,
was found Imbedded in a mass of Trl
assle rock, which Is considered by sci
entists to be from 100,000,000 to 300,
000,000 years old. By those who con
sider It a freak rather than a fossil
It has been pronounced one of the
most remarkable natural Imitations of
an artificial object ever discovered by
man.
Microphotographs of the fossil reveal
very clearly the holes punched in the
sole for stitching, and even the twist
of the thread used In the welt Is plainly
shown. Its warp Is brought out In un
mistakable prominence. In every re
spect It duplicates the exact process
which takes place In a wornout shoe.
These facts would seem to prove be
yond a reasonable doubt that It Is the
fossil of a real shoe, and that It
done by the hand of man. The up
shot of the matter leads to one of
these two scientific facts : Either man
has lived on the earth three or four

times ns long hs lias hitherto been sup
posed, or geologists are badly mistaken
In the age of the Trlasslc rocks In
Nevada.
Recent Australian Discoveries.
Hecent explorations In the very cen
ter of Australia have resulted In the
discovery of a hitherto unknown fresh
water lake.
It has a circumference of 20 miles.
During the rainy season
The surface was described as "a mov
ing mass of ducks." At Alice springs
in the MucDonnell range, where set
tlements have already been made many
miles beyond the terminus of the rail
way, the climate In July and early
August Is described as Ideal. There
are frosts at night and sometimes Ice
In the morning. Fruits and vegetables
are excellent and surprisingly prolific,
"The white children of the pioneers in
this remote district look like English
children, and the adults are pictures
of health"—at least In the eyes of
Australia's enthusiastic explorers.—
Living Age.
Fine Silk* and Linens,
The mother country of linen Is
Egypt, and linen tapestries were em
broldered In that land 4,000 years ago.
Because It can be bleached to snowy
whiteness It was known us the sym
bol of purity. It was used for sacred
vestments and was sometimes so fine
and delicate that it was worth twice
Its weight In gold.
Certain authorities state that the
reference made to silk In the Bible la
a mistake of the translators, since It
does not occur In the original. The
cultivation of the silkworm in Europe
was known 530 B. C„ but the Chinese
knew about It centuries before that
date, for the making of It was begun
by Sl-llng, wife of an emperor 2609
B. C.
Rhubarb Valued as Tonic.
Khubarb, which seems to have no
romance, has a history. It was brought
Into England In 1573 from the Volga,
but for two centuries It remained a
gardener's curiosity, so that Its use
as an article of food Is of compara
lively recent origin. In 1810, when
a Deptford market gardener sent a
few stalks to London he was unable
to find customers for It. However,
the use and cultivation of the plant
made rapid progress from that time
forward. It was brought to this coun
try from England. Rhubarb Is valu
able not only for Its mineral content
and Its add. but for Its flavor, and
Is therefore much In favor ns a flue
spring tonic.
Pension Money Worth Whilo.
Soldiers of the Civil war now resid
ing In Germany have been made multi
millionaires by the receipt of pensions
from the United States. During the
World war their accounts were sus
pended and the recent payments of ac
cumulated dues have mounted ns high
as $2,800 for one person. That sura
amounts to more than 50,000,000 marks
at the current rate of exchange.
There are 229 persons In Germany and
ten In Austria drawing regular Civil
war pensions from the United States
and consequently they
among the envied rich.—Pathfinder.
