[4 B—8 SOVIETS HONOR .. MINING ENGINEER Denver Man Is Lauded for Work in Metallurgy in Official Decree. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, October 5.—A public rec- ognition of American industrial meth. ods has been given by the Soviet gov- | ernment in the form of a tribute to! H. J. C. MacDonald, mining engineer, of Denver, Colo., for his work in the development of Russian metallurgy. Round-the-world fiyers, nlamxu non-stop Pacific flights, and the - bergh vacation tour have shifted the eves of the aviation world toward the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering | Sea. Many formerly obscure outposts of civilization, mentioned principally in Government reports and pilot charts, have aspired to front page headlines. One of these is St. Paul Island, in the Bering Sea, which has become a news PRIBILOF ISLANDS IN BERING SEA ARE HABITAT OF 1,000,000 SEALS Laws and Treaties Protect Animals Ofice Nearly Wiped Out by Hunters After Russian’s Discovery. d| can Government placed restrictions on An official decrce, made public by the | relay point concerning weather condi- Soviet Supreme Council Saturday, not | tions, progress of flights, and commu- only expressed the thanks of the Sov- | nications with possible rescue steamers, iet Republics for the introduction of | Mrs. Lindbergh “talked” with St. Paul the American system of mining, but it | rewarded MacDonald with a prize of | approximately $7,500 and announced | that his methods would henceforth be | employed in all enterprises dealing with | non-ferrous metals and fron and steel. | The decree called attention to the | fact that MacDonald's system resulted | in large economies.

By the Associated Press. PENN YAN, N. Y., October 5—Two of six inLa.es of the county jail here, | who escaped by chiseling a hole through a wall, we¢ recaptured by State troop- ers last night. | The_ pristners escaped after having | dug through 12 inches of brick and | mortar in the jail wall. The escape | was discovered shortly after day-| break. The prisoners evidently had worked on the wall for several days, as a 10- | quart pail, filled with mortar, found concealed nearby. They had used a piece of iron and a spike. 'I'he‘ Job was done in what is called “the | shower bath,” which is steel-plated witi | a space between the plating and the wall of the bath. Late last night the four fugitives | were reported hiding in a wood. A posses of farmers and troopers sur- rounded the woods, but failed to find trace of them. RAY S.

Pribilof Discovers Seals. “Recovery of the Pribilof Islands’ seal fishery is one of the most dramatic chapters in the whole story of con- servation. When Pribilof, the Russian navigator, whose name the islands bear, landed on St. Paul Island in 1786 he found no human life, but millions of seals. He was followed by Russians and later by natives who slaughtered the big animals wholesale for thelr skins. “When the islands were taken over by the United States in 1868 the herds were estimated at 4,000,000 seals. But under the early years of American rule | the helpless beasts diminished at an even more rapid pace than under the Russians, until cnly some 150,000 re- mained in 1911.

Scientific propagation is showing its favorable effect upon the herds annually. Only surplus males are killed for their pelts, and the best years old. Since every male scal pre- sides over a ‘harem,” numbering 40 to 70 females, it is essential to reduce the number of males in order to check fighting in the herd. “The fur seal herd in the various islands of the Pribilof group’ néw num- bers more than 1,000,000 individu: most of which are concentrated on St. !Pul;l ;al‘dwgt ‘George lslnn:;l.
