An adult male yields about fifteen hundredweight and also about fourteen tone of oil, Corth $120 a ton. The Whalers harbor in Chesterfield Inlet or Rae's Welcome, a fiord run- ning north, all the winter, and begin the chase of the whales in the fining, the bowheads being believed to enter the bay in June. and after cruising there all summer they re- turn to the Atlantic in the autumn More the Hudson Strait becomes blocked with ice, as the whale, being a mammal, requires a clear area in order to come to the surface to breathe every ten minutes or so. It is rather a curious fact that the inner-icons prosecute the whale fish- ary only in Hudson Bay, while the Scotch have an equally exclusive en- joyment of that in Cumberland Gulf, outside Hudson Strait. Formerly a low Scotch Whalers entered the bay and the Americans had a station on the gulf. But the Scotch abandoned the former fishery and the Americans recently sold out their station to their Scotch rivals, the two indus- tries being now pursued under differ- mt flags, though on the same gener- al lines and with the aid of natives u n prime consideration. Salt food is absolutely band. It produces scurvy very soon, the conâ€" dition accelerated all too often by the indulgence in alcohol common to sailors. Scores of grova in every harbor attested the fell work done in 1011’! smelling, ill-ventilated cabins. with little or no exercise taken for months. But now the native mode of life is adopted and the mortality a very slight. The whalerl now all employ the Bkimos as part of their crews. nose natives made firstâ€"class boat- nen and expert harpooners, and are honest and earnest. They transfer their whole tribe, with their para- phernalia, to the vicinity of a. whal- t‘s anchorage, and sign to help the new for a weekly ration of four younds of ship’s biscuit, one-quarter d of coffee, two pounds of moâ€" and four plugs of tobacco. Other articles they procure by trad- !l‘ musk ox, caribou or seal skins or wairns of narwhal ivory therefor. They have lost their ancient art: of chasing these creatures with ur- row or harpoon and are no longer proficient in the fashioning or use of the crude weapons of former years. They have come to rely up- on the white man’s weapons, rifles especially. and they handle these” proficiently, but without a. grasp of the principles underlying them, 80 ‘ht if the Whalers were to be driv- n may and the Eskimos deprived at the opportunity of replenishing their stores of weapons, ammunition .d minor necessaries, they would nonboreducedtothemostdesper- m straits. ‘_ The Scotch whaling enterprise in Cumberland Gulf is promted from two shore ‘ stations, ships not being employed at all except to visit the posts annually and 11111091! stores them, taking away the products in exchange.

The development of mining in Ca- nada may not be as rapid as the richness of our heritage in mineral wealth seems to warrant, yet it con- tinues steadily from year to year and holds out abundant promise for the near future. The Canadian 11in- ing Manual has reached, with the current issue, the thirteenth year of its publication, and the statistical record presented is certainly encour- aging, if not as great in aggregates as some have felt inclined to expect. The total value of the mineral pro- ducts of the Dominion for 1892 was materially reduced by the shrinkage in the market price of copper, silver, and lead, and there was also'a con- siderable reduction in the gold out- put from the Yukon. Yet, in spite of these influences, there was a satis- factory increase in the aggregate. The total output of metallic and non-metallic minerals for 1902 was valued at over $70,000,000 as com- pared with $69,209,805 during the previous year. Nova Scotia leads in the record of the Provinces, with an output of $19,501,180, and British Columbia is second, with $17,486,- 550. This is a reversal of the record of the previous year, when British Columbia led, with $20,086,780, and unaccustomed to the conditions under which the white people con- sumed their: food, disadvantages arose. Last year the Indians between Qu’Appelle and Battleford had raised over 40,000 bushels of grain. They had their own implements, including threshing machinery. This condition of aflairs was becoming more com- mon among the Indians of the Do- minion. In discussing the future of the Canâ€" adian Indian said: “The Indians of Canada are fusing with the whites, and I believe a hardy race will re. suit. The struggle of transition from the primitive methods to mod- ern ones has been hard on the red- men, but I believe the dimculty is over. Take the Indians west of Ed- montonâ€"they are working ‘well, and last-.year raised over 47,000 bushels of 'grain. This fusion of races is going all over the Dominion, and the result is gratifying and speaks well for those who have controlled the destinies of the red man.” Toâ€"day the various tribes had over $4,000,000 on deposit in charge of the Department, $1,000,000 of which belonged to the Six Nation Indians on the Grand River. Ontario holds third place, with $13,577,440, a gain of over $2,â€" 000,000 compared with the previous year, and the output of the ,Yukon $12,600,000, is fourth in the record of Provinces and Territories. Que- bec produced to the value of 84,- 000,000, Alberta, Manitoba, and the other Territories $2,515,953, and New Brunswick about $1,000,000. The year was one of exceptional ac- tivity in the production of coal and coke. iron and steel, nickel, copper, and asbestos. The total production of coal for the year Was 6,550,528 tons, of which 4,725,480 tons were mined in Nova. Scotia, while British Columbia contributed over a million and a. quarter-tons. Over two mil. lion tons of bituminous coal were exported, but there was a total im- portation of 3,806,129 tons of bitu- minous and 951,883 tons of anthro- cite. and Nova ’Scotia was third, with $13,000,000, the Yukon holding sec- ond placa, with $18,500,000.

Tuberculosis was the disease which was most common among them, and he thought that the new conditions under which the redmen wene living might have much to do with the prominence of the disease. ' They were now largely liv- ing in houses, and tent life was being discontinued. The Indians were form- erly great meat eaters, and when liv- ing so much in the open the meat which they consumed benefited them.

Benny’s Grewseme Cemetery at Its Well Fed Vultures. The Tower of Silence on top of Mel- abar hill is the prettiest spot in Bom- bay. There is a circle of concrete walls twenty-five feet high. Inside this wall. six feet from the top, is an inclined door of concrete, divided into three cir- cles and surrounding a pit. The outer circle is widest and is for the men; the second circle is a little narrower and is for the women; the inner circle, sur- rounding the pit, is narrowest ot the three and is for the children. The cen- ter pit is deep and filled in the bottom with sand and charcoal. There are five of these. When a Parsee dieshe is laid in one of these. No one ever sees the inside but those who hear the bod- ies in, and they do not look around, but .walk right out. Overhead and perched on the tops of the walls are many vul- tures. When a body is borne in these vultures swoop- down, and in two hours they have eaten it clean. Then the bones are swept into the pit. and the rain washes the circles clean, and the bones in the pit crumble to dust, and the water drains on through the sand and charcoal into the earth.
