FISH C0AVM1SSIOER SAYS SO War of Kxtorinimition to llo Cur l ied on, Coioinciu-iiiK ttt Well Known ICookorios N.'tir Sn Fnwicisro, A campaign of extermination Is be- ing planned against the sou Hons of the Pacific. ' These animal, wonder fully intelligent, picturesque In their appearance, interesting in their habit, gentle in manner, have tho mlsfortuii" to possess appetites and they suUm' their hunger aa God n.Miit th.aii to do by preyln;; upon the flsh whi. !i. with them, Inhabit the boundless ocean. As it hap.ions man also preys upon the finny tribe and, being monopolis tic by nature, he brooks no rivalry. Therefore it la that the decree has j gone forth to exterminate the sea lions. The flsh commission recently ap pointed a committed to Investigate the charges made against the sea lion, to the effect that he was diminishing the supply of edible flsh. and several of the animals were killed and the goods found upon or rather within them. In the stomachs of all of them were found seevral varieties of flsh suitable to hu man consumption, including salmon. The committee. In Its report, recom mended that war be declared against the lions f the sea, alleging that their slaughter Is necessary to the preserva tion of the flsh. " The principal points of attack will be the breeding grounds of the set lions at Seal Rocks, near Golden flute. Santa Barbara islands, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina, San Clemente and St. Nicholas Islands off the California coast. Of late years the sea lions have greatly Increased fh number In this part of the Pacific, as man seems to be their only enemy and he, until re cently, has been favorably Inclined to ward them, his aggression being con fined chiefly to their capture In limited numbers for exhibition purposes, u the educated sea lion commands a price of from 1500 to $1000. The animal has been found to be very capable and apt when given In struction, and this has led to the es tabllshment of one of the most unique institutions In the west, an amphibian training school, conducted by two old sea captains. HARVARD'S NEW TELESCOPE. Noted College Has a Great Many Large Glasses. The acquisition of a large reflecting telescope by the observatory of Har vard university is an event of much Interest to astronomers. The Instru ment was formerly the property of a noted English amateur, Dr. A. A. Com mon, and has already done good work. Shortly after the death of the original owner, Harvard received an anonymous gift of $20,000, which made the pur chase of the telescope ismsibK , The bargain has now been consummated, and the apparatus Is being-packed for shipment to this country. Reflectors have certain drawbacks and are rarely used except fur photo graphic purposes. When they Jiave a diameter of three feet or more, however, they are apparently superior to re fractors for such service. An Instru merit of the former class, once belong ing to Dr. Common and afterward sold to the Lick observatory five or six years ago. Much trouble was experl enced at first In mounting It so as to follow a celestial object satisfactorily, but at last it yielded astonishing revel atlons, both of its own capacity and of the mysteries of the heavens. In the hands of the late James E. Keeler .it showed that nebulae are far more abundant than anybody Imagined. Previously they had been reckoned by the score, or, at the most, by the hun dred. Professor Keeler calculated, from the number discovered In a small area by photography, that the visible universe could not contain less than 120,000! Fresh hints were received, too, concerning the forms of many nebulae and the Intimate association of stars therewith. Harvard already has four ot five oth er telescopes, which are used for pho tography. One, a refractor, has a diam eter of two feet and a length of 12. It is now In use at the station in the Andes. Another, also a refractor, war designed for a different kind of work its length ix more mm u hundred times as great as It aperture. With this giass details o( lunar scenery have been obtained which suggest the po slhlllty of subdued volcanic activity 01 the iniu'ii.

EPITHELIOMA Covering One Side of Face and Reaching to the Eye CUBED BHUTlCURA Which Acted Like a Charm After Doctors and Hospitals Failed. Here Is another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfiguring skin hu mors daily made by Cutlcura Resolv ent, assisted by Cutlcura Ointment and Soap, after physicians, hospitals and all else had failed. "I feel it my duty to try to help those suffering from skin diseases. My case was a rery bad one, covering all of one aide of my face and bad reached my eye. I bad two or three doctors pre- , scribe without any relief. They said my disease was Epithelioma. I was then -advised to go to one of our hos pitals, which I did, taklnir their treat ment for some time. 1 had given up all hope when my husband asked . me to try tbe Cutlcura Remedies. My face being in such a very bad state, I nsed the Cutlcura Soap with luke-warm water and a small silk sponge and then applied tbe Cuticnra Ointment. I took one tea spoonful of tbe Resolvent four times a day. They acted like a charm, and la one week's time my face was cured en tirely and has remained so. I certainly can recommend the Cutlcura Remedies as infallible.'' . . MRS. A. Q. SMITH, 2400 Catharine St., 7 ib. 9, 1903. Philadelphia. Tbe purity and sweetness, the power to afford Immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the ab solute safety and great economy have made Tntlcura Remedies the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humor remedies of the world.
