C Boring; Strait, where Aula and America nearly meet, recently was spanned -by air when an aviator flew 'from Nome to a vessel lying in the ! Arctic ocean' beyond the north shore of Siberia. J "Less than 300 years ago, Bering Strait had not been crossed by a 1 boat with a civilized navigator in command," says a bulletin from the Washington,' D. C, headquar- t ' ters of the National Geographic ' Society. "Since then,' whalers, ! Arctic explorers, and adventurers nave passed through and across the strait. Fog Hid America front Early Ki plot-era "About twenty . years1 after the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rook - two Russian , expeditions' .sailed " along the western bahk of Bering Strait without seeing the American ! side. Later a trading station was i established on- the Russian bank, but it was nearly a century later that Alaska was explored from the west. : ' ' "Rumors were current at the Russian trading station that there was an Island In the strait, hidden by the fog that envelops the region and that America lay to the east. The "island proved (o be ' two islands now known as Diomecles. Today one of the Diomedes belongs to Russia; the other, to the United States, for the International boun dary line runs between them. They are Inhabited by Eskimos , who make their living chiefly as 'go betweens for American and Rus sian traders. - ' Strait, Sea and Island Named for Bering "Bering Strait and Bering sea take their names from Vitus Ber ing, a lan!sh navigator who en listed, in the RuHHiun nuvy in 1703. Peteruhe Great ordered him to the east coast of. Siberia in 1725. lie went overland .. tov Okhotsk and then to Kamchatka where he built a ship for his explorations. He sailed up the Bering sea coast but America was hidden in the fog. Op a- subsequent voyage,, in 1741, he saw the American continent for the first time. On his way back to' Siberia, Bering's ship was wrecked on what is now known as Bering 'sland in the Commander group. Sailors who reached the mainland carried tho story ;of .the fur trade possibilities In Alaska and)' soon Russian trappers' and' traders moved to the new. continent. "If the international boundary line continued nrth and south, as it does through the strait,- half of the Aleutians would belong to Russia. But at the south end of . the strait it veers, southwestward, missing the western end o the Aleutian chain by about 150 miles.

This Is the opinion of the needle and j in artists who follow the trade ' here. "Tntootng has seen its best days." one veteran holds. "The late cxar of Russia was tattooed nnd there was a time when many so ciety folk took to It, but now our work is confined chiefly to sai lors." I Designs of wide variety "adorn the walls of the '-'parlors' where the tattooers play their calling. One finds girls' heads, represen tative of many races; caricatures: vignettes of clumsy steamers sink ing In heavy seas; religious images; 'arrangements of hearts and doves with the word "mother" or "sweetheart" Intertwined; bath ing beauties; butterflies and bat tleships. The veteran needleman believes people get tattooed because "they are still savages underneath, and they like to get themselves up to look pretty." , lie says, however, it is "Just a sort of trudltloh with Bailors." .
