SCARCITY OF WHALEBONE-
Demand for Improved Methods OF
Whaling in the Arctic.

Boston Advertiser
There seems to be little doubt that whale
bone has been growing scarcer within re-
cent years. The annual take is now said 10
be about 100000 pounds. Of which nearly
10000 pounds goes abroad, generally 10
France or Germany. Formerly tie take
amounted 10 100000 in good year This
decrease has sometimes been attributed to
tie more general use Of whaiebone subSti-
tuteS or the greater scarcity of the bow
head whales; but it appears that neither
cause Is the correct one Ii Is true that
substitutes for whalebOne have recently
come into use. but that circumstance is TO
be considered an effect rather than a cause
Of the desTth of whalebone. Nor can IL be
SHOWN that the bowhead whale is becoming
extinct, as 1t Is stated that bowheads are
comparatively abundant In the higher lati-
iudes. In that fact, however, appears what
IS probably the very reason for the decrease
in the worlds supply. Whaling Is by no
means so bic or as successful in the
polar regions as 1t would be if whales were
as far south as they formerly were. and If
the northward movement of the W hale con-
tinues the price of whalebone will 90 still
higher unless different methods Of whaling
shall be introduced.
In view OF the Importance Of the whaling
industry II becomes an open question
whether the establishment of large Gov
eminent station at or nPar Point Barrow
would not prove OF benefit to the industry
itself, as well as TO the exploring undertak-
ings Of the Government. In addition. mod
ern invention should find some reasonable
and successful method of capturing q whale
which has once been shot The existing
method is almost as open to criticism as
that employed by the seal-poachers of Ber-
ing Sea. 1t is stated that during last season
bumbs were shot into about 200 whales, but
not 10 per cent OF that number were caught
There surely should he Some better mode of
whale capture devised than that which now

The prisoner put his hand TO his ear.

The prisoner looked stupid and did not

none OF them could get an answer FROM tile

But the prisoner merely looked stupid aud
