OIL FROM BIRDS.

A Large Amount'of 1T Obtained In Various
Parts Of the Globe.
The vegetable, mineral and fish oils
are well-known articles of commerce.
But there are few who know what Q
large amount OF oil is obtained from
birds. The Annual Record of Science
and Industry for 1878 contains an inter-
esting account of the birds sought for
this purpose. Among these we may
mention the fulmar (Fulmarus glaci0lis),
which breeds in the Hebrides, on st.
Kiida, and in various other portions of
the northern hemisphere. The inhabi-
tants Of these islands, during the season
when this bird can be most readily OBJ
tanned, devote much of their time to its
capture, using the flesh as food and pre-
pairing the fat for its oil. 1t Is from the
penguins, however, that the largest
supply of oil is obtained, especially in
the Falkland Islands; numerous vessels,
manned by from ten to fifteen per-
sons each, being occupied during the
season in capturing the birds and secur-
ing the OIL A single schooner has been
known to procure q, 900 to 80, 900 gallons
in the course of from four to six weeks.
Eleven birds furnish about gallon of
oil, 80 that the cargo of this vessel in
volved the destruction of more than
275. 900 birds. The oil is sent to London
and used solely for dressing leather.

AN oLD-TIME ROBBERY.

AN OIOebIME uOooGuu.
How = Bank was Cleaned Out I'm Pitts.
burgh Scventy-Three Years Ago.
A local journal in writing up the
hanks Of Pittsburgh recently overlooked
. very interesting point-the first bank
robbery, that Of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank in 1916.
Mr.. Morgan Neville, . member of the
notable Neville family that figured so
prominently in the early history OF
Pittsburgh, was cashier Of the institu-
tion. The bank was located on the first
floor of two-story building on the
corner OF Third avenue and Hay Scales
alley. This latter thoroughfare was
abandoned long ago. 1t ran from Third
to Fourth avenues, and the Iron City
National Bank occupies portion Of its
location.
In 1916 there came to Pittsburgh two
men named Plumarth and Lemon. Plu-
marth was an educated fellow, very
dashing and stylish. and soon succeeded
in obtaining the entree to Pittsburgh's
best society.
These two men concocted scheme to
rob tho Farmers' and Mechanics Bank.
In those days matters were not con.
Quoted as carefully about banks as they
arc 1T present. The keys Of the bank
were left lying around loose. Those OF
this particular bank were not taken out
of the door from morning until night.
Lemon succeeded in getting into the
good graces of . woman who worked
about the bank and who lived in the
dwelling part of the building. He per.
suaded her to purloin the keys and he
took an impression OF them and had
duplicates made.
This part of their plan accomplished
Plumarth and Lemon went up to the
village Of Elizabeth and had . skin
made with false bottom in it. They
brought it down to Pittsburgh and se-
cured 1t to post at the foot Of Fcrry
street, making 1t secure with lock and
chain.
The two men and women waited until
dark and rainy night, when they drove
. wagon with the wheels mufled to the
rear Of the bank building. An entrance
was easily effected by means Of the
duplicate keys. The robbers secured
all the valuables In the bank, consist
Ing of Sl6, 900 in cash and many metals
snd heirlooms of the Neville family,
presented BY General Neville to his son
Morgan. The plunder was taken out
by the rear way, over high fence, and
placed In the wagon, driven to the river
and placed in the false bottom of the
skin. The boat Was rowed down the
Ohio river. and In the hills in the
vicinity OF Beaver the treasure was
hidden
IL can we'll be imagined the commotiou
bank robbery would create In those

ciew TO the robbers having been dis
covered Piumarth and Lemon still
moved around as usual, being enter
tanned by the best people in the town.
The woman however, did not seem t<
get along well with the men, and at
last after quarreling with Lemon, gave
away the secret Lemon escaped, but
Piumarth was arrested.
The prisoner was confined in the old
jail on Jail alley, now Decatur street.
