Pribilof seals, of which there are now nearly a million, have more valuable pelts than other seals. Their brief residence on their islands interrupts a year of peregrination during which they proceed, usually at a depth of 100 fathoms, as far south as San Diego, Calif., or, following the Aleutian Islands to the coast of Asia, the southern extremity of Japan. When southern waters grow too tepid, the seals return to their islands, the cows to breed their young, the bulls to fast and later copulate, the pups to learn how to swim, the "bachelor" seals (males under seven years...

After weeks of practice and preparations, which, in passing, provided glider licenses for both Charles Augustus Lindbergh and his wife, Anne, the combined Lindbergh and William Hawley Bowlus forces brought forth a record last week. At San Diego, Bowlus, in his slender, wide-winged, motorless plane soared into the wee hours of the morning for 9 hr. 5 min. He failed to break the German world's record of better than 14 hr., but established a new U. S. mark. Later he helped his famous friend into a brand new glider, saw him take off at La Jolla, watched...
