Conscience Bade Him
Comfort “Other Six"
Dr. R. D. McKenzie, the well known
sociologist of the University of Wash
ington said at a dinner In Seattle:
“Criminals are qneer. They may not
be exactly Insane, but they have queer
notions about right and wrong
queer, absurd notions.
“A detective tells how a notorious
bigamist whom he'd tracked down
sent for him one day from the jail.
It was a case of conscience. The
bigamist, in ills queer, criminal way,
felt twinges of remorse.
“Sitting there in his cell, he said:
“‘My conscience has been troubling
me. I don’t care a darn about my first
three wives; they can go to Jericho
as far ns Tm concerned; but the other
six are all right, and I wish youfd
take them a message from me, wftl
you? Thanks. Just tell that I’ve been
faithful to them in thought and
deed.’"
, Toy Trains
The Delaware river bridge commis
sioners have received bids from many
concerns to run some kind of trans
portation across the bridge since the
Philadelphia rapid transit announced
it would discontinue its 5-cent busses
from plaza to plaza.
With this announcement various
railroads, trolley companies and bus
owners have offered to run such a
service for the same fare across the
bridge. But the most novel offer was
made by the owner of a miniature
railroad, who offered to lay tracks and
run his toy train across the bridge.
Imagine the smallest railroad in the
world running across the largest sus
pension bridge in the world.—Phila

Cliffs of • Lower California Island.
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society. Waahlnarpn. D. C.)
TBB Islands off the west coast
of Lower California are widely
scattered over a section of the
ocean which provides a very
scant rainfall. As a consequence,
desert conditions prevail among them.
The most interesting of these Is
lands Is Guadalupe. It rises pre
cipitously from abysmal depths, a vol
cano some 12,000 feet high but with
only 1,500 feet above the sea. It has
never been connected with other
shores and It is, therefore, an oceanic
Island In every respect. All of Its an
imals and plants have come to It
either over or through the ocean.
This enforced Isolation of the spe
cies which come to Guadalupe has
caused them to become modified Into
many distinct forms which are of
great Interest to students of biology.
But, aside from this “esthetic” value,
the Island has been of very consider
able commercial importance because
of the great abundance there at one
time of certain species of marine
mammals.
Guadalupe Is the sole remaining
home of the only remnant of a herd
of elephant seals In the northern
hemisphere. Its fine herd of fur seals
was bunted and persecuted until ap
parently the last survivor succumbed
to the buckshot of the hunters. At
least 200,000 skins of this valuable
fur-bearer, which, at present prices,
would be worth more than $0,000,000,
were taken from the Island.
Guadalupe, Mexico’s westernmost
possession, located 180 miles south
west of San Diego, Calif., Is about
20 miles long and six miles wide. It
Is known to have been visited by fur
seal hunters In the early part of the
Nineteenth eentury.
The world’s greatest herds of fur
seals have been so long commercially
extinct that people have come to as
sociate the name only with the spe
cies which resorts to the Pribllof is
lands, In Alaska, where, by long and
bitter fighting of diplomatic and legis
lative battles, the United States has
been successful In preserving the larg
est herd now In existence. But once
there were several other herds, much
larger, in the southern hemisphere,
fur Seals All Killed.
The species which lived on Guada
lupe was akin to these last and not
to the Alaskan forms, although the
furs were almost equally valuable and
brought good profits to the hunters.
Guadalupe being such a distant out
post of Mexico, It Is doubtful if a
single official of that government had
the faintest conception of the war of
extermination at the time It was tak
ing place.
go far as the available records
show, the last living fur seal was
seen on Guadalupe in 1892. Since
then several expeditions have gone to
the island and searched for the an
imal without success.
Former fur-seal ropkerles have been
examined with scrupulous care, the
areas measured and the number of
animals which once hauled out there
to rear their young computed.
South Bookery originally contained
at least 50,000 fur seals and compared
favorably with the major breeding
grounds of the Pribllof Islands today.
The entire Guadalupe herd must have
numbered at least 100,000 animals
when It was in Its prime
Without printed records, bow do
we know this, thirty years after the
last of the animals died? They left
their own records, which can be rent,
almost as plaint; today as if each an
imal were In its place; and Jhis makes
the realization of the facts all the
more bitter.
The animals chose the roughest and
most rocky shores for their land
homes and congregated in large, com
pact rooketles, in conformance to the
Imblt of fur seals generally. The con
stant trampling of thousands upon
thousands of flippers over the hard
blocks and bowlders of lava rock wore
them down to the smoothness of pol
ished marble. And there they are to
day, silent monuments to a helpless
animal which paid dearly for having
a skin coveted by man.
The great slaughter of the Guad
alupe fur seals took place between
1800 and 1880. The hunters then
thought they had killed ail the an
imals, and the Island was forgotten
for many years; but about 1880 it was
rediscovered and several thousand
seals were killed In a few succeeding
seasons.
Stories are still beard In San Diego
of the last killings which took place.
The fur-bearers were pursued into
the dark recesses of volcanic beach
caves and shot or clubbed by the light
of torches.
The Elephant Seal.
Another interesting sea animal Is
the Guadalupe elephant seal—a huge,
clumsy beast with a long flexible
trunk. The animals were at one time
widely distributed and abundant on
many of the remote Islands of the
Antarctic region, but the whalers
soon learned that a fair quantity and
quality of oil could be obtained from
each carcass. So the slaughter be
gan, and ended only when the species
was commercially exterminated.
The animal found on Guadalupe Is
similar to, but not the same species
as that of southern waters, but It suf
fered. equally from the attacks of the
whalers.
More thpn once it was thought that
the last living representative of the
species had been killed; but fate has
dealt more favorably with It than
with the fur seals; each time a nu
cleus escaped to rebuild the herd.
These animals still frequent the
original elephant seal beach, a slight
indentation of the northwest shore
line of Guadalupe, where precipitous,
unscalable cliffs wall In tbe beach on
the back.
Even without tbe fur seals and ele
phant seals, Guadalupe pould be one
of the most Interesting islands of the
western hemisphere. The sea has eat
en its way Into the volcanic materials
of which It is composed, and exposed
the very hearts of some of the cra
ters. One needs but to sail along
close to shore and examine the great
dike systems, caverns, lava bubbles,
and vents to gain an Idea of the tre
mendous dynamic forces which were
once at work here.
Tbe first naturalist to visit Guad
alupe was Dr. Edward Palmer, in
1875. Be camped In one of the cy
press groves and described the place
as a paradise. There'were a great
many beautiful shrubs and flowering
plants In the moisture belt, and the
birds were so abundant and so tame
that he called It an Isle of dreams.
But conditions are vastly changed
now. Guadalupe Is a biological
sepulcher.
The shrubs and flowering plants
have been practically exterminated
and for thirty years no young trace
have had a chance to grow.

MOTHER!
A Child Doesn't Laugh and Play
if Constipated
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged np with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sour. >
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child Is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children’s ailment,
give a teaspoonful of “California Fig
Syrup,” then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and In a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you will have a
well, playful child again.. A thorough
“Inside cleansing" is ofttlmes all that
is necessary. It should be the first
treatment given In any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cali

directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly printed
on the bottle. Look carefully and see
that it Is made by the “California Fig
