One of the most interesting stories of natural history is that of the annual migration of the seals which appear in great numbers at the northern breed- ing_grounds at precisely the same time each year. This event has been made the subject of a moving picture which will be seen at an early date. It is said to be the first all-outdoor talking”pic- ture ever made and as the entire reel was taken on the spot it will be of con- siderable value to the scientist and of more than passing interest to the lay- man. A party of considerable size was transported from Broadway, to take the parts in the filming. But the outstand- i1 _ figure was Capt. Bob Bartlett, who was with Peary on many of his North ern expeditions, who acted as the cap= tain of the sealer Viking in the picture. The craft is the one which the elder Bartlett had made use of for years in his annual sealing trips. Most of the pictures were taken on the ice floes of Greenly Island and others in Newfound- land. ———— In the first three months cf this year France exported §1,353,520 worth of Mogpog, (P.S,), Infantry, New York City; Ma Ay aircraft.
