The Oil of Fish Liyers.

The livers Of all the food fish are valua-
BILE for the oil they contain. Herring and
menhaoen-the latter NOT food fish. of
course-are tried out whole. They are
first cooked to pulp in steam tanks. and
then run into presses in tho form of
mush, The liquid squeezed out is poured
into other tanks, where the oil rises to the
top and is run oil The residue-called
"chum"-is sold as a fertilizer The
hvers of other fish are mostly permitted
to undergo a fernenting process in the
sun. They are allowed to rot in tanks,
and the Oil is skinned off as it is devel-
oped.
But steam is quicker decomposing
agent, and is chiefly used in the planufac-
ture OF cod liver Oil. The cod ivers-Only
the young and sound ones being taken
are carefully cleaned aad boiled in steam
tanks. The resulting Gil is poured into
bags and pressed, the stearine remaining
inside and the oleine oozing through The
latter is the refined cod liver oil of com
merce and may be bought on the wharf
if you will bring your own receptatie-for
$1.25 per gallon. considerably less than

Where CORAL is Found.

Copal is allied 70 amber, but differs from
it in its age, being much more recent.
While insects are also common in amber,
they are al OF extinct species, while those
II copal are still IN existence. A peeUli-
arity about copal is the appearance Of the
outside of the pieces Gs found in the
natural state This appearance is similar
to the skin Of plucled goose. and from
this similarity 1t eeriveS its name. The
goose flesh appearance by ser1e is sup
posed to be due TO the sand in which the
copal is found at depth Of q few inches
to six feet. But as sll the humps are
o1idized on the surface. this would prob
ably prevent any action by the sand. and
it is moro likely due to some kind OF con-
traction The copal is found along the
coast of Zanzibar In the desert sand and is
Dug UP by the natives They stack long
poles down into the sand and strike the
Jumps of copal like they would strike
stone. The pieces are Of al sizes from
three or four inches through down to a

Polygamy Practiced in Chinn.

IN the greater part CT China Except per
haps in the province of Chantung) polyg-
amy prevails a Chinaman is practically
free to take as many wives as he can sup
port One cause of this practice is the
desire in the heart of every native TO raise
up large family to be support in bis
old age and to do him honor after he is
dead Another cause Of the prevalence of
polygamy lies IN the fact that the first
wife is chosen fer a man by his parents.
and the result is so often unsatisfactory
to him that he gladly embraces the oppor-
tunity to choose d second for himself
Usually the first wife is of 4 higher
class than the others and exercises
natural supremacy over them Indeed,
50 long rs second or third wives have no
children they are little better than slaves
IN the house; as rule they are not per
mitted to sit down in the presence of the
first wife. Occasionally however, tho
positions are reversed whe- second wife

common husband, but she cannot claim
his title, which belongs to the first wife.
